AGENT: Coats-Rose (John Joseph) CASE MANAGER: Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov ) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant general commercial services – mixed use – neighborhood plan (CS-MU-NP) combining district zoning. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: Scheduled for March 10, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Scheduled for April 9, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES While there is staff support for the requested Mixed Use zoning for the property at 2001 Guadalupe Street, there are other processes available that may provide more flexible development standards such as parking, height, floor to area ratio (FAR) and in return require participation in affordable housing, streetscape investments and adherence to design standards. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject lot is on the east side of Guadalupe Street at the south end of “The Drag,” a nickname for the portion of Guadalupe Street along the western edge of the University of Texas (UT) Austin Campus. The lot is situated between the five-story University of Texas, McCombs Business School on the south and the two story Dobie Center retail buildings to the north, in the shadow of the 27 story Dobie residential tower.

Staff voted to recommend the FLUM 1 1 of 20B-06 change from Single Family land use to Higher Density Single Family land use with a vote of 6- 0.

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 10, 2020: February 25, 2020: To grant postponement request by Neighborhood to March 10, 2020, on consent. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: March 26, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 11B-07 C14-2019-0164 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Springdale Road and Pecan Springs Road. The 2.40 acre lot is zoned SF-3-NP and developed with one single family residence. The north half of the property is constrained by a tributary to Fort Branch Creek, including floodplain and creek buffers. West and Southwest of the property, along Pecan Springs Road, are additional SF-3-NP properties developed with single family residences. Northwest of the property are more SF-3-NP lots, and a SF-6-CO-NP parcel. These properties are developed with single family residences. Immediately north of the property are tracts zoned GR-MU-CO-NP that include townhouse/condominium and limited retail land uses. Across Springdale Road to the east is undeveloped land zoned SF-6-NP and land zoned GR-CO-NP that contains religious assembly land use. Please see Exhibits A, B, and C—Zoning Map, Aerial Exhibit, and Environmental Exhibit. Staff supports the Applicant’s request of SF-6-NP zoning. The environmental constraints of the property impact the option of subdividing and developing the site with single family residences. SF-6 zoning allows clustering of residential units to avoid the environmental features. SF-6 zoning has been approved for properties northwest and east; the GR-MU-CO- NP property immediately of the site is developed with townhouse/condominium land use. Staff has received correspondence regarding the rezoning request. Please see Exhibit D- Correspondence. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City Council or Planning Commission. The Strategic Housing Blueprint promotes a mix of housing types and densities across the city. Zoning should promote a transition between adjacent and nearby zoning districts, 2. land uses, and development intensities. Immediately north of the property are tracts zoned GR-MU-CO-NP that include townhouse/condominium and limited retail …

Rivera) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant general commercial services – mixed use – vertical mixed use building – neighborhood plan (CS-MU-V-NP) combining district zoning. If the rezoning request is granted, it is recommended that 65 feet of right-of-way from the existing centerline be dedicated for South Congress Avenue according to the Transportation Plan prior to Third Reading of the ordinance at City Council. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 10, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: April 8, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Applicant and representatives of the South Congress Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team are working on a private restrictive covenant that addresses affordable housing as it pertains to rental units. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject undeveloped lot is located on South Congress Avenue, is undeveloped and has had general commercial services – mixed use – neighborhood plan (CS-MU-NP) zoning since Council approved the West Congress Neighborhood Plan rezonings in August 2005. There are retail and various commercial services, auto-related uses and apartments along both sides of Congress Avenue in the vicinity (CS-MU-NP; CS-MU-CO-NP/MF-6-CO-NP). Please see Exhibits A and A-1 – Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. B-041 of 18 The Applicant proposes to rezone the property and add a vertical mixed use building (–V) combining district to the existing zoning and develop it with up to 150 apartment units and ground floor retail space. The property is designated as Mixed Use on the adopted Future Land Use Map (as is most of South Congress Avenue in the neighborhood planning area), and the Mixed Use designation is defined as “An area that is appropriate for a mix of residential and non-residential uses.” South Congress Avenue is also designated as a Core Transit Corridor.

Planning Commission amendment to Downtown Austin Plan LDC Amendment from Council passed on second reading entitled “Downtown: Northwest District” a. Density Bonus: 1. Boundaries: South of 15th Street, in areas that were ineligible for the Downtown Density Bonus in the Downtown Austin Plan; North of 15th Street, in areas that the Downtown Austin Plan designated as eligible for the Downtown Density Bonus with reduced maximum bonus entitlements (height limits of 90, 100, or 120 feet, and FAR caps of 3:1, 4:1, or 5:1). 2. FAR: For the purpose of the density bonus, above-ground parking will count towards FAR. The maximum allowable FAR available for a property under the Northwest District Density Bonus will depend on the base zoning as follows: CC-40 3.0 CC-60 4.5 CC-80 7.5 CC-120 7.5 3. Height: Properties in the Northwest District south of 15th Street are eligible for additional height up to 50% greater than the height allowed by base zoning, but only for the purposes of improved design or compatibility: for example, to protect trees, save historic building facades, or reproduce original building set-backs. Above-ground parking is not permitted in projects that utilize bonus height. 4. Fifteenth Street: On the south side of Fifteenth Street, rezone properties currently zoned CC to CC-120 and make them eligible for the Northwest District Density Bonus. b.

The third area, much of which is along San Antonio, should have unlimited height and FAR, like the other areas to the east. d. Setbacks: If the smallest existing front setback on the blockface is smaller than the setback shown, the minimum required front setback will be equal to the smallest existing front setback on that blockface.
