3005 WESTLAKE DRIVE AUSTIN, TX 78746 NEW Case # C15-2020-0036 Previous Case # C15-2019-0003 Variance request for reducing shoreline setback regulated per LDC 25-551(B)(1)(a) from 75' to 25' along man-made cove C-1/1-P REASONABLE USE • The original Lakeshore Addition lots 66, 67, 68 were platted in 1915 then replatted in 1965 to current configuration. • The applicant is requesting a reduced setback along the cove to accommodate a replacement of the existing single-family structure and associated accessory structures. • This is a fair a reasonable use in Lake Austin zoning category as that category specifically prescribes development of a residential nature. C-1/2-P HARDSHIPS • The original 1915 Lakeshore Addition lots were replatted in 1965. This placed the cove entirely on the all three lots. • The city changed the zoning from" A" First Height and Residential (which was essentially the same as today's SF-2 zoning) to “LA” Lake Austin zoning in the early 1980’s. The cove nor the main body was subject to net site area calculations under “A” zoning. • The rezoning to LA zoning requires any redevelopment of the property to be subject to LA regulations. • The city not historically applied the LA shoreline setback to coves. This has changed recently. This change has exacted approximately l0,810 SF of LA shoreline on a 108,832 SF lot, or roughly 37% of the property. Under the staff's prior interpretation of LA shoreline along the cove, this amount of land would not have been removed from the site's buildable area; only the 75' LA shoreline setback along the main body would have been removed for purposes of net site area calculations. C-1/3-P HARDSHIPS CONT. • The site has several encumbrances that affect the physical condition of the property by way of the following hardships: 1. The water in the cove accounts for roughly 12,778 SF of land area. 2. The cove and accompanying 75' shoreline setback stretch nearly 50% into the lot. 3. The northern side of the property has a 5' water line easement, further restricting development. packet). 4. The upper portion of the lot near Westlake Drive is unbuildable due to extensive slope. 5. The OSSF improvements are proposed for the front portion of the lot (see exhibit 5 in your 6. It is not reasonable to place ~3,300 SF OSSF improvements and drain field in the backyard. 7. Placing OSSF in front of residence pushes residence closer …

1010 Clermont August 10, 2020 C-2/1-P Purpose • Seeking variance from LDC Section 25-8 Appendix A 2 C-2/2-P REASON • The triangular shape of the remaining portions of the lots after TxDOT right-of-way purchase for IH 35 severely limits the size of the site and therefore the portion of the site that can be used for parking. The Waterfront Overlay also limits impervious cover to 70 percent, well below the 90 percent allowed by zoning. • Other lots on the block are rectangular shaped whereas this site is at the end of the block that had TxDOT right-of-way purchased for construction of IH 35. Approximately 47.5 percent of the original lots was purchased by TxDOT. 3 C-2/3-P INFORMATION • Area Character • The site is on the IH 35 frontage road and is adjacent to commercial property, the site is zoned to allow administrative office use so will not affect the adjacent uses. The adjacent properties are zoned for commercial uses. 4 C-2/4-P INFORMATION • Parking • The small administrative office building will not generate high traffic volumes and the location on IH 35 frontage road in downtown will facilitate alternate mobility options. A shower will be provided for tenant use to facilitate bicycle riding and alternate transportation options. • There are 11 parking spaces on the site, so 73 percent of the required parking is provided. The building is small enough to use City of Austin Resource Recovery for trash collection on Clermont Avenue, and Clermont Avenue has parking on both sides of the street. • The project includes a 10-foot wide shared use path along IH-35 frontage road to facilitate pedestrian and bicyclist access to the site from adjacent streets without entering the traffic lanes. A shower will be provided for tenant use. • The zoning ordinance for the property restricts the allowable uses by listing over 30 prohibited uses, including medical offices, general retail sales, consumer convenience services, restaurants, software development and all automotive related uses. 5 C-2/5-P Site previously used as used car sales lot with billboard in center and other signage. 6 C-2/6-P 7 C-2/7-P PROPRTY PROFILE 8 C-2/8-P PROPRTY PROFILE 9 C-2/9-P PROPRTY PROFILE 10 C-2/10-P Questions?

Board of Adjustment Training & Staff Support Workgroup 2020-07-02 (Leighton-Burwell, Hawthorne, Von Ohlen & Bailey) -- UPDATED Results /Action Items Proposed by the Workgroup (for discussion and possible action by the whole Board at upcoming BOA Meeting): 1. We want to start BOA trainings ASAP (thanks to our Liaison, this is already underway). 2. We want to have knowledgeable staff available at our hearings to answer questions regarding issues outside of BOA Liaison’s expertise (residential zoning), such was Lake Austin, Signage, Waterfront Overlay, etc. 3. We want to find out status of GIS mapping efforts showing history of BOA cases (location, type, etc.). 4. We want to build new bridges with City Staff and repair relationships from past situations. In addition, we want to be able to increase staff accountability without it appearing as a personal attack. 5. We want to know what the Department Supervisors need / want from BOA to better support each other and our joint processes. 6. We want to temper our deliberations to be focused on the facts of the cases before us and be less inflammatory or confrontational towards applicants and staff. 7. We want to hold ourselves accountable and our BOA colleagues in a civil and respectful manner. 8. We want to create processes for transitions in BOA leadership and for additions of new members to our Board. 9. We want to include training on the role the legislature plays in the BOA. Specifically how we are governed by both City and State mandates and what that means in how we operate. E-3/1
MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Jerry Rusthoven, Assistant Director/Interim Lead Planning and Zoning Department DATE: May 22, 2020 SUBJECT: UNO Sign Regulations The Planning and Zoning Department is requesting the Commission initiate an amendment to the UNO ordinance to correct an inadvertent change made to the sign regulations in the ordinance. In November 2019 the City Council approved changes to the UNO ordinance. One of those changes was intended to address signs above the second story of a building. Those signs were required to be cut in or engraved into the structure of the building. If the name of a building were placed on the facade this made it physically difficult to change the name in the future. It was agreed by the stakeholders to remove this requirement. In making this change to the ordinance a mistake was made and the result is all illuminated signs were prohibited in the UNO area. This is not what was intended or agreed to by the stakeholders. Also, because the UNO sign regulations are also used in TODs and the North Burnet/Gateway Plan this mistake carries over to other areas. Staff is asking for the opportunity to correct the ordinance. We will be working with the same stakeholders involved in the November revisions. If you need additional information, please contact me by email or 512-974-3207.

From: To: Subject: Date: Ramirez, Elaine comments C15-2020-0029 Aug 10 Friday, August 07, 2020 2:55:49 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Notes re variance request C15-2020-0029 coming before BOA this Aug 10, 2020 I would like to point out the following: 1. The "accessible attic" would be a 2nd floor occupiable space that would be accessed by an external staircase that would be situated in the westside setback. Though not shown on site plan it is shown on the elevation drawings. 2. In discussions with the owners they once expressed willingness to add a deed restriction eliminating the addition of a future 2nd story on the property. 3. The mid section of the proposed finished structure would have a gable height of 15 ft 6 inches above ground level***. This West facing facade would be 4 ft 2 inches from the mid lot property line. 4. One can't predict how promises of runoff control would play out in time. And I have no data to know if the promised containment strategies are feasible or accurate. *** This information was given to me, via email, by the owners as being data from the design firm(s) they consult .. "...numbers regarding height, coverage, and cistern. The high point of the roof gable is 15’6” -- that’s measured from the ground, not the foundation. Impervious percentage on the site plan is 57% -- the would only go down because it includes the flagstone walkway and we’d like to do decomposed granite for better drainage. Our cistern will be 1500-2000 gallons. At 1500 it would average out to 18000 gallons over the year. This water would go to our vegetable. We want it even bigger if it can fit, though the 1500 gallon one would already overcompensate for added impervious."

City Council & City Manager, WHEREAS, the members of the Austin Board of Adjustment (“BOA”), fees have increased to a point that many socioeconomically challenged families in the City have been priced out of the ability to have their due process rights met at the Board of Adjustment; and WHEREAS, the BOA would like to give a fair and equitable hearing to all citizens that believe they deserve a special exception to, or a hardship variance from, the land development code; and WHEREAS, the metropolitan area of the City of Austin has approximately 11% of its residents below the federal poverty limit who would be severely challenged or unable to pay the BOA current fee thereby preventing these citizens experiencing issues with Austin’s complex land development code from being able to come to our Board for relief; and WHEREAS, further complicating the situation there is a current public health crisis in the form of SARS-CoV-2 that has resulted in mass unemployment and loss of income; and WHEREAS, a large number of the recent BOA cases have been for issues related primarily to commercial development and large home/real estate developers instead of homes of working or middle class neighborhoods; and WHEREAS, in the past the City of Austin has a history of providing financial assistance programs to assist its citizens and has been at the forefront of implementing policy that provides equity and access to government to all ie.

BOARD’S DECISION: The public hearing was closed by Chair Don Leighton- Burwell, Board Member Melissa Hawthorne motions to Grant (as per previously approved variance C15-2019-0003 dated January 14, 2019) and as per drawing C- 1/15 and no structure spanning the inlet access point, Board Member William Hodge seconds on an 11-0 vote; GRANTED (AS PER PREVIOUSLY APPROVED VARIANCE C15-2019-0003 DATED JANUARY 14, 2019) AND AS PER DRAWING C- 1/15 AND NO STRUCTURE SPANNING THE INLET ACCESS POINT. EXPIRATION DATE: August 10, 2021 FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: the original lots 66, 67, 68 were re-platted in 1965, applicant is requesting a reduced setback along the cove to accommodate a replacement of the existing single family structure and associated accessory structures 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: original 1915 Lakeshore Addition lots were re-platted in 1965, this placed the cove entirely on the all three lots, the city changed the zoning from “A” First Height and Residential (which is essentially the same as today’s SF-2 zoning) to Lake Austin zoning. This city-initiated zoning change occurred in the early 1980’s, the cove nor the main body was not subject to net site area calculations associated with LA zoning code. (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: man-made inlets on private lots are fairly rare, they do exist and when they do, they create significant development constraints 3. The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not impair the use of adjacent conforming property, and will not impair the purpose of the regulations of …

EXPIRATION DATE: August 10, 2021 FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: this is not a request for variance from a zoning regulations 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: the triangular shape of the remaining portions of the lots after TxDOT right of way purchase for IH-35 severely limits the size of the site and therefore the portion of the site that can be used for parking, the Waterfront Overlay also limits impervious cover to 70 percent well below the 90 percent allowed by zoning. (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: other lots on the block are rectangular shaped whereas this site is the end of the block that had TxDOT right of way purchased for construction of IH-35; approximately 47.5 percent of the original lots was purchased by TxDOT, irregular lot. 3. The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not impair the use of adjacent conforming property, and will not impair the purpose of the regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located because: the site is on the IH-35 frontage road and is adjacent to commercial property, the site is zoned to allow administrative office use …
