The proposed PCA will allow the development to add a residential use to the existing approved site development permit. A PCA is a voluntary mechanism for determining applicable regulations where the extent of a project’s vested development rights are unclear or for incentivizing projects with clearly established vested rights to achieve greater compliance with current regulations. In such cases, a PCA provides a means for the Council to modify development regulations applicable to a property. The Lantana Block P, Lot 3 project is located at 7415 Southwest Parkway which was approved for a commercial and office development under Site Development Permit No SP-2014-0262C.

The Planning Commission approved a request to extend the life of the application to April 30, 2022, on June 25, 2019. The proposed PCA will apply only to the currently unconstructed Phase 5 of the project modifying the project to include a residential use. A summary of the major tenants of the proposed PCA are outlined below: No additional impervious will be added to Phase 5, the overall impervious cover in the entire development will be fixed at 17.6 acres. 6.326 acres known as Lot 8, Block P, of the Lantana Phase 1, Section 2 Subdivision will be dedicated to the City of Austin. 3.098 acres of Lot 8 will remain natural area with any development limited to pedestrian trails so that the entire site, all phases, maintain 40% natural area; 3.228 acres will be utilized for City of Austin Public Park amenities; Lot 8 will be dedicated to the City within six months of the effective date of the PCA; Extension of the life of Phase 5 of the Lantana Block P, Lot 3 Site Development Permit (SP-2014-0262C) by two years to …

The district is generally not compatible with, nor should it be located adjacent to residential uses. Residential uses are not allowed in this district due to noise, vibrations, truck traffic, emissions, and storage of hazardous materials. This district is appropriate for individual sites or smaller groupings of industrial uses. Character and Intent • Entirely industrial/office/services, no residential uses. • Typical Land Uses: o Primary Uses: Light Manufacturing centers, distribution and warehousing, technology/data centers, flexible industrial spaces, contractor yards. o Secondary Uses: Commercial, office, civic, and institutional uses; ponds and storm water facilities. Industry District Features The following features were identified as characteristics that should be typical to the Industry District: • Offices, warehouses, industrial parks with truck loading facilities • Building heights generally one to three stories • Adequate parking, visible from street • Storage yards or containers screened from view of street • Deep front setbacks • Landscaping along street frontages. PROPOSED LAND USE ON THE PROPERTY Commerce - This character district accommodates commercial activities such as retail entertainment venues, or campuses located mostly along highway frontage roads. Although these sites should allow for internal pedestrian connectivity, their overall design is fashioned to the needs of people arriving by car. Residential uses are inappropriate due to a lack of external connectivity.

CASE: C14-2020-0013 (8803 N Mopac) ADDRESS: 8803 North Mopac Expressway DISTRICT: 10 OWNER/APPLICANT: Semmaterials Energy Partners, LLC % BKEP Materials AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) ZONING FROM: LI SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant CS, General Commercial Services District, zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: ISSUES: During the Burnet Road, Anderson Lane and the North Shoal Creek Area neighborhood planning process, the long range planning staff did not add the –NP combining district to the end of the zoning string for the properties in the planning area. Therefore, the rezoning request does not require the “NP” annotation. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The property in question is developed with an industrial use/emulsion plant (Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, Inc.). There is outdoor storage for TxDOT to the north. The property to the south is developed with an office building (The Atrium Office Centre). To the east, there is a railway and an industrial/warehouse park (Shoal Creek Business Park). To the west is the North Mopac Expressway. The applicant is requesting CS, General Commercial Services District, zoning to allow for redevelopment of the site with an office use (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter-Exhibit C). The staff recommends CS zoning for this property because it meets the intent of the ‘CS’ district as it fronts onto a major arterial roadway, North Mopac Expressway (Loop 1). The proposed zoning would be consistent with existing zoning patterns in this area because there is industrial (LI) zoning to the north and east), office and commercial (LO, CS-MU-CO, GR) zoning to the south and west of this site. The CS zoning would allow for a fair and reasonable use of the site because it would make it possible for the applicant to redevelop a site with a use that is consistent with the office development to the south. The applicant agrees with the staff ‘s recommendation. 1 1 of 14B-06 EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Site North South East West ZONING LI LI LO LI MoPac Expressway, CS-MU-CO, GR LAND USES Industrial (Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions, Inc.)

The lot is approximately 0.23 acres (10,018 square feet). A two-story limestone building occupies about half the lot width and less than half the length. The building is a designated Austin historic landmark known variously as the Austin Gold Dollar, Franzetti’s grocery store and Freedman’s building. The request is for a building footprint rezoning to permit a cocktail lounge/restaurant in the historic building. Several new, midrise residential buildings have been built north of West 24th Street. Some of the new buildings are mixed use with ground floor retail and personal service uses. There are wide sidewalks and under-building parking. These features make the neighborhood walkable. Much of the demand for goods and services in this mixed-use neighborhood will come from the residents and workers within the neighborhood. The stone structure built in 1869, is the last remaining building from Wheatsville, an African- American neighborhood. The building was the home of Rev. Jacob Fontaine, a Baptist minister and former slave known for his community leadership and newspaper publishing.

The conditional overlay is a height limit of 90 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 12, 2020 Scheduled for Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: May 21, 2020 Scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 8B-13 C14-2020-0036 2 ISSUES This property was rezoned from CS to DMU-CO last year (Ordinance No. 20190620-124) which limited the height of buildings to 60 feet. At the time of the previous rezoning case, the applicant had intended to utilize the Downtown Density Bonus Program for increased entitlements. It was unclear at that time that by limiting the building height to 60 feet through a conditional overlay, the CO would prevent the applicant in moving forward with a taller building height even if they fully participated in the Downtown Density Bonus Program. Therefore, in order to construct the building that is currently under review (case # SP-2019-0390C), a zoning change is necessary to increase the maximum allowable building height. The applicant and Neighborhood Association have agreed upon a private restrictive covenant (RC). This private RC lays out terms on what the maximum development entitlements are and how the applicant may earn them. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property is zoned DMU-CO and currently has four buildings located onsite: a commercial retail store, two office/warehouse buildings dedicated to professional reprographics, and one single-family style structure being used as an office. The first three buildings are configured around a parking lot with the single-family style building behind these. This property is on the south side of West 12th Street. Across the street to the north are parcels zoned CS containing the ACC Rio Grande Parking Garage, retail shops and a café. To the east of the property are also CS zoned parcels, containing offices within a mixture of repurposed single- family and modern style structures. To the south and southwest of the property are parcels zoned MF-4, GO and LO. The GO and LO parcels have a mixture of office …

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 12, 2020: March 24, 2020: Meeting cancelled CITY COUNCIL ACTION: May 21, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 7B-15 ISSUES: There are no issues at this time. The Applicant proposes to add MU- Mixed Use designation to allow development of part of their property with multifamily residential land use. The Applicant does not propose removing or modifying any of the existing conditional overlays (COs) on the property. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for a portion of a property located at the southwest corner of the intersection of East Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard (MLK) and US Highway 183. Closest to the intersection is the Church of Christ at East Side, with religious assembly land use. The southeastern portion of the property is the area to be rezoned, and is separated by a tributary of Walnut Creek. The rezoning tract is mostly undeveloped and has frontage on US Highway 183 and Tannehill Lane. The property is zoned CS-CO-NP, with COs that were added at the time of the East MLK neighborhood planning process in 2002. In addition to designating the parcel as mixed use on the future land use map (FLUM), the plan added the following prohibited land uses: adult oriented businesses, automotive sales, blood plasma collection center, convenience storage, equipment sales, vehicle storage, agricultural sales and services, campgrounds, construction sales and services, equipment repair services, kennels, and limited warehousing and distribution land uses. The Applicant does not propose modifying the existing CO. Immediately south of the rezoning tract is land zoned CS-CO-NP with the same conditions as the rezoning tract that is developed with a civic use. Further south are properties developed with religious assembly and multifamily land uses that are zoned MF-2-CO-NP. Across Tannehill Lane to the west are an undeveloped tract (GR-CO-NP) and multifamily land use (MF-3-CO- NP). Southwest of the rezoning tract are religious assembly and private education land uses …

Attached are the departmental comments and other information pertinent to the referenced alley vacation. The area being requested for vacation will be used for future development of multi- family development ~ affordable senior housing. All affected departments and private utility franchise holders have reviewed this request and recommend approval, subject to the following conditions: 1. Austin Water Utility: • A water line easement will be retained over the entire vacation tract. • The survey must be updated to show existing wastewater manhole. • AWU needs a signed agreement that transfer the City of Austin line to a private institution. • A clean out will need to be built and accepted by COA standards.

Vacating the alley, together with the proposed project, creates a life safety issues for all residents in the area. I encourage everyone involved in reviewing this proposal to visit the site and drive down the dead end E. 9th St. Cars are parked along the street day and night, making an exit happen in reverse only. This is the only vehicular access to the site. The entire project is unsafe for the proposed senior residents, for the adjacent Tyndall resident and the adjacent AMLI residents. Please think about the issue of adjacent residents filing out onto East 9th in the event of an emergency, next to the proposed senior tower project at the same time the tower is being evacuated at the same time emergency vehicles are trying to access the area via E. 9th. The backyard of a historic single-family home on a dead-end street is not the right place for a multi-story wood frame building due to the limited access for fire, EMS and life safety services. I strongly object to the vacation of the 572 square foot portion of the remaining 20 ft wide tract of land between E. 8th and E. 9th Street requested by the Guadalupe Neighborhood Development Corporation as part of a proposed multi-family hi-rise building.

As you probably are aware, the application was approved on consent by both the Urban Transportation Commission and Planning Commission late last year. In February of this year, also on consent, the City Council approved selling the remainder of the alley to GNDC. You already should have copies of the letter and email that I sent last month to all of the condominium owners at the Tyndall who submitted objection letters to the alley vacation. In my letter and email, I offered to meet virtually if the Tyndall owners wished to and I provided my phone number, email address and mailing address. I have had no responses of any kind from anyone. Despite their statements regarding safety, I'm quite certain the Tyndall owners are actually concerned about the loss of views of our downtown. While such a concern is reasonable, had anyone investing in a west-facing condominium at the Tyndall asked about the development potential of the Lopez Property-- 809 East 9th Street-- the developers of the Tyndall undoubtedly knew that the entitlements are the same as those for the Tyndall. While it is an investor's responsibility to understand the pros and cons of their investment, it is my responsibility to develop property owned by our corporation to its highest and best use in order to most effectively fulfill our mission. Had the developers of the Tyndall acquired the Lopez Property, their project certainly would have been built as far to the west and as tall as we plan to build on that same property. And, just as certainly, they would have wished to build using the 572 feet of the remainder of alleyway, just as we would like to do. Their objections suggest our property is not right for seniors, yet I'm also quite sure that the real estate agents for the Tyndall are not trying to dissuade any potential buyers who are 62 …

M E M O R A N D U M Fayez Kazi, Chair and Members of the Planning Commission TO: FROM: Andrew Linseisen, Assistant Director Development Services Department DATE: April 27, 2020 SUBJECT: Project Consent Agreement Lantana Block P, Lot 3 (SP-2014-0262C) Backup and Staff Recommendation As provided in Section 25-1-544 of the City of Austin Land Development Code, the developer of the Lantana Development on Lot 3 and 5, Block P of the Lantana Phase 1, Section 2 Subdivision has requested consideration of a Project Consent Agreement (PCA). The proposed PCA will allow the development to add a residential use to the existing approved site development permit. A PCA is a voluntary mechanism for determining applicable regulations where the extent of a project’s vested development rights are unclear or for incentivizing projects with clearly established vested rights to achieve greater compliance with current regulations. In such cases, a PCA provides a means for the Council to modify development regulations applicable to a property. The Lantana Block P, Lot 3 project is located at 7415 Southwest Parkway which was approved for a commercial and office development under Site Development Permit No SP-2014-0262C. Phases 1, 2, and 3 of the existing development have been constructed and Phase 4 is currently under construction. The Planning Commission approved a request to extend the life of the application to April 30, 2022, on June 25, 2019. The proposed PCA will apply only to the currently unconstructed Phase 5 of the project modifying the project to include a residential use. A summary of the major tenants of the proposed PCA are outlined below: No additional impervious will be added to Phase 5, the overall impervious cover in the entire development will be fixed at 17.6 acres. 6.326 acres known as Lot 8, Block P, of the Lantana Phase 1, Section 2 Subdivision will be dedicated to the City of Austin. 3.098 acres of Lot 8 will remain natural area with any development limited to pedestrian trails so that the entire site, all phases, maintain 40% natural area; 3.228 acres will be utilized for City of Austin Public Park amenities; Lot 8 will be dedicated to the City within six months of the effective date of the PCA; Extension of the life of Phase 5 of the Lantana Block P, Lot 3 Site Development Permit (SP-2014-0262C) by two years to …

(“UAP”) has filed an objection. The purpose of this letter is to outline for UAP a compromise solution that would be beneficial to UAP and to our Client such that the hearing with the City of Austin Planning Commission on our Client’s Zoning Application scheduled for May 12, 2020 is allowed to proceed unopposed. By way of background, our Client has submitted an application to the City of Austin for Commercial Services-Mixed Use Zoning (“CS-MU”). The fundamental reason for our Client’s Zoning Application is that under the University Neighborhood Overlay (“UNO”), our Client’s development of the Property will be limited to a height of 65 feet. The City of Austin Land Development Code allows a property owner 90 feet of height. This 25-foot difference translates to approximately 24, 938 square feet of density. Specifically, under UNO, developments with 65-foot height limitations typically allow a developer to achieve 5 full stories of building (95% of 8750 = 8312.5 square feet of land X 5 stories = 41,562 square feet of building).

The CCC Trail will eventually connect the neighborhoods of south east Austin to Mabel Davis Park, the Country Club Creek Greenbelt, and to Roy Guerrero Park. The EROC Contact Team has been working for 15 years to build, maintain, and extend the CCC Trail. The remaining unfinished section of the CCC Trail, between Oltorf and Riverside, is currently in the Design Phase. SLIDE 3 The property at 4530 East Ben White is an opportunity to extend the connections to the CCC Trail to connect Ben White to the south, and neighborhoods and businesses to the east.

From: John Killough Sent: Monday, May 11, 2020 11:37 AM To: DSD Help <DSDhelp@austintexas.gov> Cc: Subject: PUD At Lamar and Toomey This message is from John Killough. [] We strongly object to the change in Zoning for the PUD at S. Lamar and Toomey Road: • The change violates the purpose of the Waterfront Overlay. • The project violates Zilker Neighborhood Association’s approved Vertical Mixed Use proposal. • Although the project proposes underground parking, there is no provision for entrance and egress from the building onto already overburdened streets.

Development at prime real estate sites in an economically and environmentally attractive city, such as Austin, is welcomed but must be thoughtfully approved. As a citizen in the city, who cares as much about the progress of our city as any one of you, I want you to make planning decisions that honor existing ordinances that belong to all of us and I want you to make it a priority to value the quality of life of every community of our city. Specifically, I am asking you, at this time, when a zoning decision is made regarding 218 South Lamar Blvd., which is at the corner of S. Lamar and Toomey Road, that you honor the Waterfront Overlay Ordinance and that you make the quality of life of the community in this part of South Austin your highest priority. First of all, the proposed PUD, which would be the construction of a large office building and its design, violates the Waterfront Overlay Ordinance. The citizens of our city entrust you to honor the planning that is already approved for this community through this Ordinance. You should want compliance as much as we want it. There is a more appropriate location for this office building to be constructed or the design should conform to the Waterfront Overlay Ordinance. I want you to …
Annette DiMeo Carlozzi 1506 Romeria Drive Austin, TX 78757 24 February 2020 Dear City Council and Planning Commission members: I was delighted to learn recently from my friend and colleague Sara Vanderbeek that there is a potential opportunity for another much-needed partnership between the arts and business communities in Austin. Apparently 218 South Lamar Boulevard, a proposed development on the site of the Schlotsky’s behind Zach Theatre, could include 1000 sq ft of gallery space on its ground floor, to be programmed by the dynamic artist-run space known as DORF. What a great idea! As a lifelong curator of contemporary art—including 7 years as head curator of Laguna Gloria Art Museum (1979-86); 18 years as contemporary and then head curator at the Blanton Museum of Art (1996-2014); and the intervening years as a director and producer in Aspen, New Orleans and Atlanta, I can testify both to the success of a rich and varied creative community in attracting/developing engaged citizens, and to the importance of community partnerships in building stability in local arts communities. And stability in an arts community confers economic health and lends vibrancy and dynamism to city life. So I write in enthusiastic support of the steps the City of Austin and these private developers are taking to carve out space and resources for the local arts economy at a time when rising rents are threatening the arts community’s very existence. Everyone wins in such inspired efforts. If all goes well, this project could serve as a model for other Austin developments to come—we certainly need as many of these alliances as possible. Please give your best efforts to providing support for this proposal. DORF is an excellent arts space—thoughtfully curated, warmly welcoming and inclusive—and I’d love to see it nested within a burgeoning arts district on the shores of Ladybird Lake. Wow, that sounds lovely…and smart! Sincerely, Annette DiMeo Carlozzi Independent curator 512.689.3860

Planning Commission Meeting date, May 12, 2020 Agenda Item # 11 Rezoning of 218 S Lamar from CS to PUD Locally known as the Schlotzsky’s PUD Commissioners The proposed re-zoning of this property should be rejected for the following reasons. 1. Does not meet the criteria for use of the Planned Unit Development zoning tool. PUD zoning was created to address particular zoning challenges that could not be resolved by standard zoning. But the threshold for the application of this zoning tool has several criteria that projects are required to meet: It was intended to be utilized by large tracts (either singular or multiple parcels) of 10 Acres of • more. This site is considerably less than that threshold. • PUD zoning was also intended to deal with parcels that had multiple existing zoning that the individual zoning site design standards, if respected, would preclude a reasonable use. This site has only one zoning which left unto it’s self, would allow the reasonable development of the property ( unless the developer is paying too much for the property’s current entitlements, in which case the city is not supposed to “back stop” this speculative proforma by granting additional entitlements just to off set the developer’s risk!). • The essential aspect of providing this zoning tool was to allow for a development that would result in a superior (environmental or other community/civic benefit but not just an economic benefit to the developer) product that could not be created using the existing zoning. This project is just another office building with no superior aspect to it whatsoever! 2. Does not meet the standards of the Waterfront Overlay Ordinance This project is proposed in the Butler Shores sub district of the WFO which also has specific criteria for projects • The WFO Task Force final report recommended that the Bonus Provision General to all sub districts allowed a 60% increase in the FAR if the project met eight criteria. Those criteria were 1. Residential uses 2 Pedestrian Oriented uses 3. Parking structure 4. Tree protection 5. Public Access dedication 6. Restrictions for scenic vistas 7. Impervious cover Page 1 of 5 At best this proposed project only meets 3 of these criteria and therefore would not even be allowed the 60% increase in FAR as allowed under 25-2-714 (A) (3) But assuming that by some crazy logic you could make a plausible case that …

Terry Mitchell May 12, 2020 Austin Planning Commission If you know me, you know that I support “density” and “compactness” — those two TO: FROM: DATE: RE: ITEM: B — 23: F#10076-1901 – ROW Vacation; District 1, 809 East 9th Street ___________________________________________________________________________ Dear Planning Commission: My name is Terry Mitchell. I am a developer and I was part of a team that developed The Tyndall at Robertson Hill, a condominium community next door to the subject property. I am writing not in my capacity as a neighbor, but as a concerned citizen – that we, as a city, would permit a project to be built with the risks that would be forever be present to the residents of this project and to the residents of the Tyndall. planning tools may well be the only tools that help our City with the coming financial constraints imposed by the low-density form of development (that is so costly) and the steps taken by our State to limit growth of cities.

I get it. density and affordable housing is not an excuse to approve an ill-conceived project that puts a risk the residents of this proposed project and the residents of the Tyndall. much work and limitations were imposed to guarantee proper fire safety. For example: Fire safety is of utmost concern. When the Tyndall went through the review process, And if you know me, you know that I strongly support all forms of affordable housing, Nevertheless, supporting • You will note that the Tyndall (phot above) has adjacent fire safety access on three separate streets — 9th Street (where this proposed project is located), Embassy Street, and 8th Street. pg. 1 • Because fire safety (and emergency services) are so important, parking adjacent to the Tyndall was prohibited along these streets …
