BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The property is 0.736-acre tract comprised three lots with single family homes on 1004 and 1006 E. 39th Street and a vacant lot on 1008 E. 39th Street. To the north and east of the property is Mixed Use/Office land use with Mixed Use along the frontage road. To the south is Single Family and Mixed Use land use. To the west is Single Family land use. The applicant proposes to change the land use on the property from Single Family and Mixed Use/Office to Multifamily Residential land use to build a 100-unit multifamily supportive affordable housing project. The project is S.M.A.R.T. Housing Certified. Staff supports the applicant’s request of Multifamily Residential land use because it steps down the land use intensity from the Mixed Use and Mixed Use/Office to the east that is closest to the IH-35 frontage road and the single family uses to the west of the property. The request will provide much-needed affordable housing to the planning area and the city to help meet the goals of the Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint. The property is near the proposed Project Connect Gold Line and approximately ½-mile south of Airport Blvd, an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor, and approximately ½-mile south of Hancock Shopping Center with an HEB grocery store and other services. The property has access to multiple Capital Metro bus routes that provides public transportation options for the future residents. There is a notation on the FLUM for this area that says: The proposed FLUM change to Multifamily Residential for an affordable housing project is …

Jaimes AGENT: Moreno Development Services (Candelario Moreno) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant single family residence – small lot – neighborhood plan (SF-4A-NP) combining district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 10, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 9, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject platted lot is located on Red Bird Lane approximately mid-point between South Congress Avenue to the east and Blue Bird Lane to the west. It contains a vacant single family residence and is zoned single family residence-standard lot – neighborhood plan (SF- 2-NP) combining district. There are single family residences, two-family residences and condominiums on Mockingbird Lane to the north (SF-4A-NP; SF-3-NP; SF-6-NP), residential uses to the east and west (SF-2-NP; SF-3-NP), and residential uses and non- conforming commercial uses across Red Bird Lane to the south (SF-2-NP; SF-3-NP; SF-6- NP). Commercial uses front South Congress Avenue further east (CS-MU-NP; CS-1-MU- NP; CS-MU-CO-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). 1 of 10B-4 C14-2022-0024 Page 2 The Applicant has requested single family residence-small lot – neighborhood plan (SF-4A- NP) district zoning in order to resubdivide the lot and build up to six single family residences. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The single family residence – small lot (SF-4A) district is intended as an area for moderate density single-family residential use, with a minimum lot size of 3,600 square feet. In appropriate locations, small lot single-family use is permitted under standards that maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. The neighborhood plan (NP) district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. 2. Staff recommends SF-4A-NP zoning as it is compatible use and zoning with the surrounding residential portion of the Pleasant Hill Addition neighborhood which provides for a variety of housing types, and there are other SF-4A-NP zoned lots in the vicinity.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 10, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 24B-5 C14-2022-0045 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is developed with construction sales and services and general retail sales uses (Lighting Inc., Austin Window Fashions, Affinity Design) that are zoned NBG- CMU-NP. The lots to the north are currently undeveloped and were rezoned to NBG- CMU(Gateway Zone)-NP through zoning case C14-2021-0101 (Verde Square) last year. To the east of this site is an outdoor entertainment use, with surface parking (Q2 Stadium), zoned LI-PDA-NP. Across Burnet Road to the west, there is a research and development use (University of Texas JJ Pickle Research Campus). The tract of land to the south fronting Burnet Road is developed with a multifamily use (Windsor Burnet). The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from NBG-NP (CMU Subdistrict) to NBG-NP (CMU-Gateway Zone Subdistrict) to redevelop the site with additional residential density (please see Applicant’s Request Letter-Exhibit C). The CMU subdistrict allows an FAR of 3:1 and a maximum building height of up to 180 feet, with development bonuses. Whereas, the CMU-Gateway Zone subdistrict allows for an FAR of 8:1 and a maximum building height of up of 308 feet, with development bonuses (please see North Burnet Gateway - CMU subdistrict General Site Development Standards-Exhibit D). Therefore, the proposed CMU-Gateway Zone subdistrict will allow for higher height and density development on this property adjacent to the new Austin FC Soccer Stadium. The staff is recommending the applicant’s request of North Burnet Gateway-Neighborhood Plan (CMU-Gateway Zone Subdistrict) zoning because the proposed zoning is compatible and consistent with the surrounding zoning and uses in this area. The gateway zones in the North Burnet Gateway Regulating Plan are in areas within close proximity to a transit. Gateway zones are connected to the designated Transit Corridors and allow for greater height and density due to the location to a rail station. The …

The applicant proposes Liquor sales use and has agreed to prohibit Cocktail lounge land use. Capital Metro operates a Child Care and Early Learning Center within the 300’ distance of the proposed liquor store and has expressed opposition to the rezoning. Development Services Department (DSD) has confirmed that Liquor sales land use may be permitted at this location in accordance with City of Austin and TABC regulations. (Please see Exhibit C- Correspondence). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for a 3,957 square foot tenant space in a shopping center at the southwest corner of Pleasant Valley Drive and East 7th Street. In the same building are a mix of uses, including Limited retail, Alternative financial services, and Medical office. In an adjacent building on the property is a HEB grocery store.

Baer CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not support the requested rezoning to CS-MU-V-NP. AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Alice Glasco) For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 10, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 8B-8 C14-2022-0009 2 ISSUES: If rezoning is granted, Staff recommends that the existing conditional overlays on the property be retained. The following uses are currently prohibited on the property: Drive-in service as an accessory use to commercial uses, Automotive rentals, Automotive repair services, Automotive sales, Automotive washing (of any type), Service station, and Pawn shop services. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the south side of East 51st Street approximately 400 feet west of Ed Bluestein Boulevard. The 4-acre property is undeveloped and heavily vegetated. The CS-MU-CO-NP property included prohibited land uses, as outlined in the Issues section of this report. Immediately to the west and south of the property is a residential neighborhood zoned SF-4A-NP which triggers compatibility standards on the site. Immediately to the east of the property is property zoned CS-CO-NP is the newly constructed 183/51st Street Trailhead that provides bicycle and pedestrian access across 183/Ed Bluestein Boulevard. The trail connects on the east side of the highway adjacent to the East Communities YMCA and Walnut Creek Greenbelt. Also east and southeast of the rezoning tract are properties that front the southbound Ed Bluestein frontage road. These properties are zoned LI-CO-NP, CS-NP, and CS-CO-NP; these properties include Automotive repair, Undeveloped, and Public high school land uses, respectively. Across East 51st Street to the north is Little Walnut Creek Greenbelt, zoned P-NP, and a Hotel-motel property zoned GR-NP. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff does not support the request to rezone the property to CS-MU-V-NP. The closest bus service is one mile away at 51st and Springdale Road. Sidewalks in the area are fragmented between the property and the closest bus route. Commercial opportunities are very limited in the area, so development on this site will be largely automobile oriented. Under the current zoning the site could get a 20% parking reduction; with …

DESCRIPTION OF WAIVER: This item was a discussion item at the April 12th Planning Commission meeting, and the applicant has made adjustments to their proposed site plan based on the Planning Commission and community feedback. The applicant is requesting a waiver from § 25-2-1063. This site is subject to a 25’ compatibility setback and the proposed development is encroaching into the 25’ setback on the north and west property lines. Additionally, a portion of the site is subject to compatibility height limitations that start at 30’ (and 2 stories) and the two westernmost proposed units would exceed their 30’ limit at 36’ (and 3 stories). The west property line abuts an alley with an SF-3 property with a 5’ rear setback on the opposite side of the alley and the north property line abuts an SF-3 property with a 5’ interior side yard setback. After the previous meeting’s discussion, the applicant is now proposing to reorient their site with 5 units (36’ height and 3 stories) being setback 20’ from the west property line and 29’ from the north property line. The driveway approach is being proposed 5’ from the northern property line. If approved, this waiver will not impact sightlines at the intersection of 14th Street and Cedar Avenue. COMPATIBILITY: Section 25-2-1051 states that Article 10 Compatibility Standards apply if a use in a SF-6 or less restrictive zoning district is located on a property across the street from or adjoining a property on which is zoned SF-5 or more restrictive, or on which a use permitted in a SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district is located. § 25-2-1063 - HEIGHT LIMITATIONS AND SETBACKS FOR LARGE SITES.

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2022-001 Description: Amend certain provisions to Title 25 of the City Code to address challenges to the successful design and construction of public mobility and transit projects and associated utility projects in the City’s right-of-way. • Allow roadways sufficient maximum impervious cover limits for street cross- sections; • Clarify that zoning regulations (Chapter 25-2, Subchapter E) do not apply to linear mobility and transit projects located in the right of way; • Provide a definition of a site area for projects in the right-of-way; • Establish consistency in determining what construction in the right-of-way is considered maintenance versus redevelopment, and clarify that maintenance of existing roadways does not trigger water quality requirements; • Develop water quality calculations specific to projects in the right-of-way that cannot provide on-site water quality. Provide water quality credit for the removal of existing impervious cover, and allow payment-in-lieu of water quality treatment if other feasible solutions have been exhausted in all watershed regulation areas except the Barton Springs Zone; and, • Clarify that railways should have the same applicable environmental requirements as roadways.

Introduction The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) is Austin's comprehensive, multimodal transportation plan. Adopted in 2019, the plan guides our short- and long-term transportation projects, programs, initiatives, and investments around a common vision for all of the ways we move around Austin. In June 2020, Council passed Resolution 20200610-002 directing the City Manager to amend the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (Ordinance No. 20190411-033) to add the Project Connect System Plan. Under this direction, the ASMP team began the process for a minor update that was limited in scope to respond to the Council Resolution and other significant events over the past two years. Austin Transportation Department staff officially initiated the process to amend the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) in May 2021. The initial phase of this process included an interdepartmental review of the ASMP policy document and the Street Network Table and Map. The interdepartmental review effort identified several potential policy amendments that were published for public comment in October 2021, and Street Network amendments were published for public comment soon after in November 2021. The launch of these amendments to the public marked the start of public engagement for this process. The first round of public engagement included a Policy Survey and a Street Network amendments map commenting tool. Round One of public engagement ran until January 30, 2022, and a detailed report of the feedback and tools used can be found in the Round 1 Public Engagement Report. At the close of that round …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2022-0031 – Remove Vehicular Access Restriction DISTRICT: 7 to Morrow Street ZONING FROM / TO: TOD-NP, to change a condition of zoning ADDRESS: Intersection of Easy Wind Drive and Morrow Street SITE AREA: 32.63 acres APPLICANT: City of Austin – Housing and Planning Department CASE MANAGER: Andrei Lubomudrov (512-974-7659) Andrei.lubomudrov@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to approve the zoning change to transit oriented development – neighborhood plan (TOD-NP) combining district zoning, to remove the vehicular access restriction to Morrow Street. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 10, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 9, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Crestview Neighborhood Association has requested postponement of the rezoning application. Please refer to correspondence attached at the back of the Staff report. The Applicant, in this case the City of Austin, has submitted a zoning application to remove a condition added to the Crestview TOD in 2011 to restrict vehicular access to Morrow Drive from Easy Wind Drive. The application was filed as a result of City Council direction provided in Resolution No. 20220217-037. Removing the zoning condition restricting access would ensure long-term unimpeded access to Morrow Drive from the Crestview Station area. The Austin Transportation Department recommended removal of the gate following a three- month traffic study that found opening the gate created no significant safety risks. B-61 of 30 C14-2022-0031 Page 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning change removes the restriction on vehicular access to Morrow Street via Easy Wind Drive. Further changes to the Crestview Station TOD are not proposed. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The transit oriented development (TOD) district is the designation for an identified transit station and the area around it. The district provides for development that is compatible with and supportive of public transit and a pedestrian-oriented environment. Staff believes the proposed zoning is consistent with the district as it increases overall access to transit at Crestview station. The neighborhood plan (NP) district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. 2. The requested change to the TOD-NP zoning would promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses by promoting easier vehicular access to transit, housing, …

We are requesting the following waiver to the Land Development Code to make the project feasible: Request: Allow to reduce the 25’ no build setback to 5’ The site is composed of 2 tracts of land adding up to 0.28 acres zoned CS-MU-V-CO-NP, surrounded by SF-3-NP properties. If it were to comply with compatibility standards, this site would be forced to be developed within 0.16-acres. To achieve this density, the unit configuration would be forced to be denser in a more compact layout. Constructing townhomes within these standards is not feasible. We would like to request that the compatibility standards are modified to reduce the no build zone from 25’ to 5’ and The 50’ setback to 20’, to build five 3-story townhomes 20’ from the western SF-3 property and 25’ from the northern SF- 3 property. Attached to this letter is the proposed building elevations sheet. We believe this request does not disrupt the neighborhood’s feel and meets the intent of the code, such that no high density or commercial developments occur in a near proximity to a single-family lot. The proposed density is 5 homes for two commercial lots. Allow to reduce the 50’ setback to 20’ [LDC 25.2.1063]. Please accept this letter as our official request. If you have any questions, please call us at 512-761-6161. Sincerely, Alejandra Flores Project Engineer May 06, 2022
Planning Commission May 10,2022 Item 22 ASMP Update _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Commissioners; I’m Joe Reynolds. I live on West 49th St I want to briefly discuss how defective planning leads to later failed projects. Planning in Austin often focuses only on a desired outcome, not on the costs or problems of implementation. That seems very true for this version of ASMP. The streets have been considered only based on issues seen with a map, weighted by other things like bicycle plans, etc. Many of the streets have ROW specifications that have very low likelihood of being realized. Think Hancock next to the Cemetery and with a State controlled bridge over MoPac. 49th St bordered on both side by State land, and a State parking garage. Barton Creek Rd with a railroad bridge. Other plans have been similar in focus, like the Trail Plan; “Downtown to the Domain”. This defective focus leads to trouble, because during implementation the Plan is taken to be Real; “It’s approved by Council.” So, the builders don’t look for trouble, but then find it. Implementation of the Trail Plan followed the selected route, and contracted for a paved path along Shoal Creek. They didn’t check for well known geologic conditions that made the route infeasible, namely the Del Rio Clay that makes Shoal creek banks very unstable. The resulting collapse now has a cost just under $20 million. ASMP is doing the same thing, choosing routes without listing limitations. Some, like the cemetery along Hancock will be obvious problems, caught during project implementation. Others, will not likely be caught. Barton Springs Rd at Lamar has a long history of hillside collapse. Yet, ASMP calls for wider ROW that would disturb the existing hillside, causing another collapse. ASPM similarly ignores things like pipeline ROW, and like the Trail Plan, ignores geology. ASMP should not be advanced until issues of implementation are identified, recognized, and clearly noted for following teams who are building projects. Plans must be more than just desires and objectives, they must include limitations and logistics. Thank You.

Brandy Maggio 810 W St Johns Ave Unit 1159 Austin, TX 78752 May 9th, 2022 I’m writing to oppose 2022-036792 ZC, which would permanently open the gate between Easy Wind and Morrow St and which they have been recently testing out. I have serious concerns around how this will impact the safety of the residents using the street. In particular, I’m worried about how it would disproportionately affect: 1) those with visual impairments and other disabilities who live in this area to be closer to transit and 2) the many children who live in the neighborhood and their families who chose this area to raise them. The neighborhood off of Easy Wind is extremely walkable and there are always people enjoying the day, strolling with their children, people walking dogs, and frequent bicycle riders on the road. The way the area is developed, it encourages people to cross Easy Wind frequently, as well as many side roads. For years, this has never been a problem; people driving around were not driving thru the neighborhood; they lived in the neighborhood and were respectful of their neighbors. They took a care for their safety. Since the gate was removed, I’ve noticed an increase in traffic going thru the neighborhood. Additionally, those who are driving out towards Morrow are driving at higher speeds. I, personally, have had one very close call with a car who was driving out of Easy Wind towards Morrow street and did not stop as I attempted to cross at an intersection. There have been other situations that were avoided primarily because I chose not to attempt to cross, even when I had the right of way. And I have full vision; I worry about the impact for my neighbors who are more limited. That easily could have been a tragedy. Children are also not always so wise, no matter how many times we tell them to look both ways. I’m assuming that part of the reason this is being opened is to allow for easier access of emergency vehicles. Or perhaps it was to allow an alternative route out of the area for the first responders who live in our neighborhood. I was also concerned when I saw the way the gate was closed off, with the lock and everything. I had hoped that the reason it was removed was to upgrade the barrier into something that first …
