C14-2021-0162 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2021-0162 – Amaya’s Building Project DISTRICT: 4 ZONING FROM: CS-CO-NP TO: CS-MU-CO-NP ADDRESS: 5804 N IH 35 SVRD SB SITE AREA: 51,467 SF (1.18 acres) PROPERTY OWNER: Roberto C Amaya, INC AGENT: Moreno Development Services (Candelario Moreno) CASE MANAGER: Kate Clark (512-974-1237, kate.clark@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends general commercial services-mixed use-conditional overlay- neighborhood plan (CS-MU-CO-NP) combining district zoning. The conditional overlay is for a set of prohibited and conditional land uses. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 17, 2021 Scheduled for Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: December 9, 2021 Scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES Currently there are no known issues. Staff has received a comment in favor of this rezoning request. For all written or emailed comments, please see Exhibit C: Correspondence Received. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is approximately 1.18 acres in size and currently developed with a restaurant use and associated parking. It is located adjacent to the IH-35 southbound frontage road and zoned CS-CO-NP. Adjacent and surrounding zoning districts include CS-CO-NP to the north, south and west. 1 of 10B-2 C14-2021-0162 2 This property was rezoned in 2002 as a part of the North Loop Neighborhood Plan Area process (Ordinance No. 020523-31). The following prohibited and conditional land uses were put on this property through a conditional overlay at that time. Should City Council approve this rezoning request, staff recommends that these conditions be carried over with the new ordinance: Prohibited Land Uses Adult oriented businesses Pawn shop services Conditional Land Uses Campground Commercial blood plasma center Convenience storage Equipment sales Kennels Vehicle storage In the previous ordinance “residential treatment” and “transitional housing” were also included in the prohibited land use list. We have been advised by law to no longer prohibit these land uses and therefore they are not included in staff’s recommendation. The applicant is requesting to add mixed use (MU) to their current zoning to redevelop the site with a restaurant on the ground level and condominiums above it. Per their application, they are proposing up to 70 residential units with a mixture of one- and two-bedroom units ranging from 600 to 1,200 square feet. The future land use map (FLUM) designates this property as “commercial” and therefore requires a neighborhood plan amendment (NPA) to be considered with the rezoning request. Please refer …

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 17, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: December 9, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 18B-3 C14-2021-0153 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Chalmers Avenue and East 3rd Street. The property is zoned GR-MU-CO-NP and includes two residential units and a semi- paved vacant area. Immediately to the south is property zoned CS-MU-CO-NP that includes Restaurant-general and Administrative office uses. Immediately east of the property are lots zoned SF-3-NP that are developed with Single family residential uses. Across Chalmers Avenue is Pathways at Chalmers Court, a MF-4-NP zoned property developed with affordable multifamily units. Across East 3rd Street to the north is Chalmers Court East, another affordable multifamily property that is zoned TOD-NP as part of the Plaza Saltillo Transit Oriented Development (TOD) area. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The Applicant has stated that the requested rezoning is to allow redevelopment of the property to include approximately 30 dwelling units and possible ground floor commercial uses. The existing zoning was established in 2010 and included several conditions that prevent the proposed redevelopment. Under City File # C14-2010-0137 (Ordinance # 20101104-032), the property was rezoned from SF-3-NP and CS-MU-CO-NP to GR-MU- CO-NP. The existing zoning includes several conditions; the proposed rezoning retains most of the prohibited land uses but does not include all of the conditions. First, the proposed rezoning does not limit the property to 3,000 vehicular trips per day (vpd). This is no longer a condition that the City applies to rezoning requests because trip generation …

I hope this email finds all of you well. My name is Jason Alexander – I am the Assistant to the City Manager, and I wanted to take this opportunity to reach out on behalf of our office and those of Denise Lucas and Rosie Truelove, Directors of the Development Services and Housing & Planning Departments, respectively. We have been made aware of your concerns related to the Manager’s decision to have all land use boards and commissions begin conducting meetings at the new Permitting & Development Center (PDC) starting in 2022. While this decision has been part of the new facility planning process for some time, we recognize we may not have communicated that approach as effectively with you as would be expected, and for that we apologize. In an effort to create a transition that is good and smooth for everyone, we would welcome and appreciate the opportunity to meet with you at the new site shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday. This would be an opportunity to visit with Development Services and Housing & Planning Department leadership, tour the facility and its amenities, and further discuss any concerns or questions you might have. We are proud of this new site and are excited to put it toward fruitful community use. Ideally, we would try to schedule this as a lunch meeting/tour. If you would be amenable to this, please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you, and hope you each have a pleasant weekend in the meantime. Sincerely, Jason Alexander Assistant to the City Manager City of Austin, Office of the City Manager 512 974 2306 | Jason.Alexander@austintexas.gov 301 W. 2nd Street, 3rd Floor | Austin, TX 78701

Like many of my fellow Austinites from district 3, leaving work to attend a meeting at noon on a weekday would require me to take PTO. Board members and commissioners already donate considerable time to serving their city and that time expenditure is tripled for those elected to serve as chair. With the holiday season almost upon us, it's not feasible for me at this time. I'd like to add that offering a tour of the facility, while a nice gesture, doesn't address our concerns about the lack of equity, accessibility, transparency, and public input the majority of us on the sovereign boards agree are significant problems with the proposed move. Instead, I propose a special called joint meeting of the Board of Adjustment, Planning Commission, and Zoning and Platting Commission at Austin City Hall. The week of November 29th is the fifth week of the month which should allow for easy booking of the main chamber in the evening. I believe it would be appropriate if the city manager, an ex-officio member of the Planning Commission like myself, were there to discuss the issues the PDC creates for holding hearings and meetings. Once you have a confirmed date, I'll work with our liaison to communicate time and agenda items with the BoA members. Respectfully, ---------- Jessica Cohen Chair Board of Adjustment From: Alexander, Jason <Jason.Alexander@austintexas.gov> Sent: Friday, November 12, 2021 3:08 PM To: Kiolbassa, Jolene - BC <bc-Jolene.Kiolbassa@austintexas.gov>; Shaw, Todd - BC <BC- Todd.Shaw@austintexas.gov>; Cohen, Jessica - BC <BC-Jessica.Cohen@austintexas.gov> Cc: Lucas, Denise <Denise.Lucas@austintexas.gov>; Truelove, Rosie <Rosie.Truelove@austintexas.gov>; Moore, Andrew <Andrew.Moore@austintexas.gov>; Rivera, Andrew <Andrew.Rivera@austintexas.gov> Subject: Invitation to Meet, re: Permitting & Development Center Chairs Kiolbassa, Shaw, and Cohen Good afternoon.
