SEEGER - ABSENT June 23, 2020: APPROVED POSTPONEMENT REQUEST BY NEIGHBORHOOD TO JULY 14, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 30, 2020: RESTRICTIVE COVENANT TERMINATION RECORDING NUMBER: ISSUES: No issues were identified for this request. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject Restrictive Covenant is less restrictive than current compatibility standards by Code. At the time that the subject property zoning was changed from residential to office, the Restrictive Covenant was provided to increase the setback between the office and the houses on Hardy Circle. Applicant is requesting the termination of the Restrictive Covenant which established a twenty- foot building setback from the north property line of the 48,638 square foot tract of land that was rezoned from residential to office in 1973 (Ordinance No. 73 0628-D). 1 of 6B-07 C14-72-032(RCT) 2 The Restrictive Covenant is recorded in volume 4674, page 2281 of the Deed Records of Travis County, Texas. Paragraph number 1. “No Building or any part thereof shall be located within twenty (20) feet of the north property line of said property”. Please refer to Exhibit “A”. The standard building setback to an internal property line, in the office zoning district is five feet when the office is surrounded by other offices or commercial zoning and use. The Restrictive Covenant provided additional setback from the detached family residences on north of the tract being rezoned to office. Compatibility Standards in Article 10 (LDC 25-2-1063) apply to the subject site because it is located next to SF-3-NP zoning and the development site is bigger than 20,000 square feet. The minimum setback is 25 feet from SF-5 or more restrictive zoned land and it applies to the new building, the drive aisle and parking lots. There are also requirements for landscape buffering and screening (LDC 25-2-1066) in the area between multi-family buildings and buildings in the SF-5 or more restrictive districts. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Termination request. The Restrictive Covenant was created in 1973 …

Inspiring Conservation through Birding 3710 Cedar Street, Box 5 Austin, TX. 78705 512.300. BIRD (2473) www.travisaudubon.org info@travisaudubon.org July 14, 2020 To the Planning Commission: Travis Audubon remains in favor of MF-3 zoning for the property adjacent to Blair Woods, 5201 E MLK. We support the City of Austin and Stonegate Neighborhood Association’s assessment that a lower- density zoning designation is more appropriate for the site. We have gathered independent geological and hydrological assessments of both tracts. We now understand that increasing impervious cover to 65% at 5201 E MLK is unlikely (but not impossible) to affect the pond, wetlands, and drainages on our property. We continue to have concerns about other effects of high-density development adjacent to the restored habitat. Travis Audubon will continue to stand for development at scale rather than maximal up-zoning; the City can provide protection for natural spaces and still provide housing in growing neighborhoods. We appreciate that Thrower showed several examples of MF-6 development in their discussion, but we would like to ask whether any of them are next door to a 10-acre nature preserve? Blair Woods is the only greenspace within a 10-minute walk for almost 1000 neighbors in this community. That number will only continue to increase. Being sure that the preserve is protected as even more people move to this part of town benefits everyone. The Austinites who will live along MLK in 20 or 50 or 100 years will thank the Commission for having the foresight to balance development with protection for an important natural and historical site that future generations can enjoy. We must think about and try to avoid potential unintended negative effects of such intense development so near the preserve. Travis Audubon’s mission is to be good stewards of this habitat both now and in the future, and that requires us to support zoning no higher than MF-3.

Joe Reynolds July 14 Planning Commission Meeting Items 6, 7, 8 7113 Burnet Rd Chair and Commissioners, I’m Joe Reynolds; I live on West 49th St. I’m a member of the Allandale Neighborhood Assn. Zoning Committee. I’ve also been very active with the Burnet Rd Corridor Project. I’ve been to two meetings with presentations describing this project and I have reservations and concerns. 1] The height included in the applicant’s proposed land use category is excessive. In the earlier meetings the potential height was disavowed, yet is still included. The height profiles in the staff alternative MF-6-NP are more appropriate. The required height compatibility in the staff land use category is preferred. 2] In the two presentations I attended, the developer indicated that a completely residential development was the goal. I agree with that goal. Commercial uses in similar settings are often unsuccessful. They fail because the customer base within the project is too small to support the business, and ‘outside’ customer access isn’t supported by the development standards. Access from Burnet Rd to commercial use at this site is highly problematical because of the road configuration and commercial use should not be included. 3] For Allandale, traffic is the most troubling aspect of this project. As part of my efforts on the Burnet Corridor Project, I studied this intersection. The Burnet Corridor Project road design has all left-turn exits from property blocked by a median barrier. So, for this proposed development all southbound destinations must be accomplished by first going North. The Burnet Corridor expects this part of Burnet to be worked by 2023. Until the southbound travel is completely blocked, staff has flagged the trouble caused by vehicles queued for the existing Greenlawn traffic signal which is located just at the northern boundary of this property. The presentations, made in the two meeting I attended, asserted that the developer would secure a binding agreement with the shopping complex adjoining just North, for residential traffic to use the parking area of the complex to access the Greenlawn traffic signal. Access to Burnet via the signal would allow southbound traffic turns. That agreement for use of the center is missing. None of the three agenda items associated with this project should be approved absent that traffic light access. I have found no TIA for the proposed project. Analysis of traffic at this location, as part of the Burnet Corridor studies, …

Some of the considerations for opposition are listed below. 1. The proposed driveway to 4500 Nuckols Crossing will be only 150 ft from Viewpoint Dr on the east side of Nuckols Crossing and an entrance to Woodway Village Apartments on the west side of Nuckols Crossing. The accepted distance between driveways should be 500 ft. 2. The proposed solution to the driveway problem of adding turn lanes with vertical delineators in the middle of Nuckols Crossing will cause a major hazard, in our opinion. Nuckols Crossing/E St Elmo is used as a thoroughfare for many commuters in SE Austin to and from downtown. Traffic that is driving from the blind curve at E St Elmo onto Nuckols Crossing must go up a hill which will make it difficult to see the vertical delineators in the middle of the street. And the traffic driving north from Stassney and Teri Rd on Nuckols Crossing will need to go around the vertical delineators onto a widened area of the right of way before swerving back onto the main road, a short distance from the blind curve where the road turns into E St Elmo. 3. Traffic on Nuckols Crossing is already 10 times the amount that this road is designed to ideally handle. Traffic counts taken in February 2020 indicate that existing vehicle trips is at 14,929. According to Section 25-6-116 of the Land Development Code, streets which have pavement width less than 30 feet are considered to be operating at an undesirable traffic level if the average daily traffic volume for such roadway exceeds 1,200 vehicles per day. Nuckols Crossing Road is currently operating at an undesirable level and will continue to do so with the addition of site traffic. These statistics, and the opinion that Nuckols Crossing is currently at an undesirable level, are taken directly from the Zoning Review Change Sheet provided by City Staff. The proposed development will add another 979 vehicle trips, an increase of over 13%. 4. The City has no plan to …

Allandale Neighborhood Association • P.O. Box 10886 • Austin, Texas 78766 July 14, 2020 Reference: Austin Planning Commission Meeting of July 14 2020 Items B6-7-8 PROJECT NAME: 7113 Burnet Dear Chairman and Planning Commission Members, I am writing on behalf of the Allandale Neighborhood Association regarding items B6-7-8 on the agenda for the July 14th meeting. While our neighborhood association supports a transition from commercial to multi-family zoning on this property, we do not support the MF-6 zoning that is requested. Instead, we favor the city staff recommendation to grant multifamily residence, moderate high density - neighborhood plan (MF-4-NP) district zoning. A 90-foot height limit far exceeds any other nearby development and is not in keeping with the neighborhood. Further, we are concerned that the applicant suggests that this project is not in an environmentally sensitive area. Flooding, water quality and utility infrastructure are all key concerns to Allandale residents and others in the Shoal Creek watershed. Per the staff recommendation, the proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. We oppose the applicant’s request for MF-6-NP – Multifamily Residence (Highest Density) district that would enable building 360 residential units on the property (an estimated 81 units per acre). We concur with the staff recommendation for a change to MF-4 – Multifamily Residence (Moderate-High Density) district, which can accommodate multifamily residential use with a maximum density of 36 - 54 units per acre, depending on unit size. This change will allow for moderate-high density housing near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, while supporting and respecting the adjacent neighborhoods. The MF-4-NP zoning is more compatible with our neighborhoods and nearby businesses, July 14, 2020 Page | 2 providing for increased setbacks near the Single-Family zones and reduced building heights. There are many questions remaining about ingress/egress to Burnet Road and related traffic problems that will cause – predominantly to Allandale residents. For these and other reasons, we urge you to vote against the proposal to grant MF-6-NP zoning and to support MF-4-Multifamily Residence zoning on this project. Allandale Neighborhood Association Board of Directors
7713 Burnet Zoning & FLUM Amendment Overview • Request: • Rezone from CS-1-CO-NP/CS-CO-NP/LO-CO-NP to MF-6-NP. • Amend the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) to reflect multi-family. • Terminate an outdated restrictive covenant. • Bottom Line: The applicant is requesting the ability to provide a 360-unit apartment on Burnet, with 10 percent of units affordable at 60 percent MFI. • Rationale: Approving this downzoning would support the City’s housing and mobility goals while decreasing overall site development entitlements. 7113 Burnet Rd. 7113 Burnet Rd.

Dear Planning Commission, I'm writing on behalf of the Crestview Neighborhood Association Executive Committee regarding item B6-7-8 on the agenda for the July 14th meeting.. Before Covid-19 shut everything down, we (CNA and some neighbors) had a couple of meetings with the developer and his agent (Michael Gaudini) to discuss their exploring options for that property. The first meeting was in January but was requested too late to be included on our published agenda. We allowed them to come anyway and speak though because there wasn’t any previous notice to the community there wasn’t much turnout. At that time the biggest request of us seemed to be whether we would support a change from Commercial to Multi-Family. This was exciting to the neighborhood as a whole and brought us to the table hoping to work out a deal to both create a large amount of housing where there was none previously, along a corridor and near transportation. At that time (and in subsequent meetings), most of the usual concerns with the current occupants such as ill placed dumpsters with poorly timed disposal pick-ups, inadequate fencing and the lack of compatibility standards under the current zoning were quickly appeased. We encouraged the developer and the neighbors immediately behind the property to talk about potential concerns regarding height over their backyards and reduction in privacy. They did discuss this, and the developer produced a "compromise package" in June, pushing the start of 40 feet a little further than they could do it by right under current compatibility standards. We appreciated the willingness to talk, and it kept us at the table. As you will see in your back-up material on page 10, at the March 3 public meeting we were told the height of the front of the building would be "60-75 feet" at that time. Here is what was asked: Q. The current zoning of CS allows a maximum height of 60 ft. The proposed zoning of MF-6 allows up to 90 feet. A. We don’t want the 90 feet that would be allowed under the MF-6. We maybe need 60-75 feet with five to six floors. Mid March through April was, admittedly, a down time for our communication as a neighborhood association. We didn't have a lot of pressing items on our plate and were unclear as to what was going to be prioritized by the city. Clearly, this became …
7113 Burnet Rd. Rezoning 7113 Burnet would help the city meet its housing and mobility goals and would provide the first income- restricted units in Crestview (See Figure 1). 7113 Burnet is currently zoned for a combination of CS-1-CO-NP, CS-CO-NP, and LO-CO-NP. The applicant is requesting MF-6 zoning in order to replace outdated bar and office space with a roughly 360-unit apartment, including a commitment to 10 percent of units at 60 percent MFI. The project would provide needed housing on Burnet Road, an Imagine Austin and Transit Priority Network corridor in which the city is investing over $45 million to support multi-modal mobility. The proposed rezoning is less intense in many respects than the existing zoning or Vertical Mixed-Use. The proposed MF-6 zoning offers a project with lower impervious cover, building cover, trip generation, and use intensity than what could occur by right under the existing zoning or under Vertical Mixed-Use, which the City has already zoned extensively on Burnet Road (See Figure 2). This request is a downzoning, and while overall height would increase, under compatibility standards the project could not exceed the existing height entitlement of 60 ft. until it is at least a football field- length away from single-family lots (See Figure 2). Approving this request would both further the city’s housing goals and lower the site’s overall intensity. Figure 1.
