The Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Association (BCNA)Steering Committee is unopposed to this variance request. Due to the timing of our General Association Meeting on December 10th and the scheduled meeting of the Board of Adjustment on December 9th, we cannot provide the applicant with any other decision regarding this variance request. The timing of the information we received from the applicant’s representative did not allow us to take a vote on this case before the December 9th meeting date. BCNA Bylaws require a vote of the General Association membership to provide a letter of support for the variance. BCNA zoning committee met with the applicant on October 14th, 2024, to discuss the case and provide feedback to the applicant. The Bouldin Creek Executive Committee is unopposed to this variance.

ITEM04/1-OPPOSITIONS ITEM04/2-OPPOSITIONS ITEM04/3-OPPOSITIONS ITEM04/4-OPPOSITIONS applicant does not adequately address how their 118 unit, 87 foot tall multifamily design may actually impact the neighborhood. If the Board grants the variances, the extended height, added volume of units, lack of parking per unit, and proximity to single-family homes will have a very clear negative impact on the single-family neighbors. The applicant makes two main claims regarding this criterion: a) that there are other multifamily developments along S 1st, and b) there are other commercial buildings with less than 25 foot rear setbacks in the area. In addressing a), the applicant is correct that there are multifamily developments along S 1st, but it is important to note that those developments are all 5 levels or fewer. They appear to maintain the 60 foot code-required setback height from the single-family homes in the area. As for b), there are several commercial businesses in the area which impinge on the 25 foot rear setback, however, all of those businesses are one level or less. Their impact on the adjacent single-family homes is minimal due to their low height. The proposed development will be so tall it will tower over the single-family homes on S 2nd and S 3rd Streets and “diminish privacy”. The added units provided by the added height will “increase traffic on adjacent streets,” and the lack of parking per unit will certainly make S 2nd St, S 3rd St, and Stacy Ln the de facto 24h/7days/week permanent parking for the residents. Also if granted the variances, the development will be the tallest structure along S. 1st between Barton Springs and Ben White. It clearly “exceeds the size and scale typical of properties in the vicinity” and therefore it WILL “alter area character.” (from BOA Community Guidebook) Furthermore, I’d like to note the lack of communication from the applicant and owner. · Neither party has reached out to me or my neighbors directly to discuss their proposed commercial building or how the variances may affect my single-family home. · The Galindo Elementary Neighborhood Association (GENA) president, Patty Sprinkle, had not heard from the developers until she personally reached out to Leah Boho Monday, Nov 11th. This case was originally scheduled to be heard on November 14th, but thankfully the Board postponed that meeting due to a lack of quorum. GENA asked the developer to present their project at our next neighborhood meeting. Please …
City of Austin Board of Adjustment Public Hearing 12/9/24 Request for Postponement of Case: C15-2024-0040 The Galindo Neighborhood Association (GENA) is requesting a postponement of C15-2024-0040, 600 CUMBERLAND ROAD, 2610 & 2612 S. 1st. for the following reasons: 1. Inadequate Communication Between Applicant and GENA The project site is within the known boundaries of the Galindo neighborhood; GENA was initially registered as an Interested Party in August of 2021. GENA has not received any further notice(s) regarding the site plan, project modifications or the site plan approval since that time. Multiple owners of adjacent triggering properties never received notification regarding approval of the proposed site plan. The applicant’s first communication with GENA was 11/11/24 and was initiated by GENA President; Patty Sprinkle. Ms. Sprinkle first learned of the proposed site plan from the Dawson Neighborhood Association which borders the project site. On behalf of GENA, Ms. Sprinkle organized a neighborhood meeting so that the applicant could present their proposed project to neighborhood residents. The meeting was held on 11/18/24 at 7pm at the South Austin Recreation Center and attended by at least 75 Galindo neighborhood residents. As of the deadline for submission of backup materials to the Board of Adjustments, the applicant has not replied to any of the many questions raised by those in attendance at the meeting. The applicant has been unresponsive to several Interested Party voice mail requests for additional information regarding the project. 2. Inadequate Time for GENA and Interested Parties to prepare for the BoA Hearing GENA and Interested Parties will need additional time to research the impact of the recent revisions to the Austin land use ordinances involving HOME and ETOD will have on the site plan and associated variance requests for this project. It is therefore critical that GENA and other stakeholders be given appropriate time to form a meaningful consensus and potentially seek council to better understand the impacts of the project. There have only been 7 business days since the initial presentation by the applicant at the GENA meeting of 11/18/24 and the deadline for backup material submission for the Board of Adjustments hearing due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Several of the most impacted homeowners and GENA board members will be unable to attend the December 9th hearing due to scheduling conflicts. ITEM04/1-PPMT REQUEST
