DESCRIPTION OF WAIVER: This item was a discussion item at the April 12th Planning Commission meeting, and the applicant made adjustments to their proposed site plan based on the Planning Commission and community feedback. It was again a discussion item at the May 24th Planning Commission meeting where it was postponed until this meeting. 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. 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 April 12th meeting discussion, the applicant is now proposing the two units on the north side of the site to be setback 7’ from the triggering north property line and the units on the western side to be setback 18’ from the triggering property on the west side. 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 is permitted in a SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district is located. § 25-2-1063 - HEIGHT LIMITATIONS AND SETBACKS FOR LARGE SITES. 1 of 19B-11 of 19 1400 Cedar Ave 1400 Cedar Ave SP-2021-0102C (A) This section applies to a site that has: (1) an area that exceeds 20,000 square feet; or (2) a street frontage that exceeds 100 feet.

The site plan actually proposes reducing impervious cover from about 97% to about 72%. The city has also recommended the site connect access to the alley but not required it.

Are there any remaining concerns that the city has about the proposed plan? It seems like there could be a impermeable coverage issue as well as no entry/exit facing the alley.

Yes, they are proposing sidewalks on both streets. • Will there be a minimum of 2 on-site parking spaces per unit? If not, is it allowed by the city to have less? There is not a minimum of 2 on-site parking spaces per unit and yes it is allowed that they have 1 1 of 57B-1 less. They will have 11 spaces which meets the City’s requirement without any waivers or variances. They will also have bike parking spaces as well. • Is the height of any of the proposed units above city allowances? No, they are within all height limits. • How long is the proposed construction timeline? I do not have an answer to that, since this is just the site plan stage and so early in the process. That would be a question …

CASE: C14-2022-0042 – Burleson - Norwood Corner DISTRICT: 2 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CO Amendment (Emanuel Limuel, Jr.) ZONING FROM / TO: CS-MU-CO-NP, to change a condition of zoning ADDRESS: 8016 Burleson Road SITE AREA: 2.362 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Friendly Will Baptist Church AGENT: Thrower Design, LLC (Victoria Haase) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant general commercial services – conditional overlay – neighborhood plan (CS-CO-NP) combining district zoning. The Conditional Overlay would be modified to remove limited warehousing and distribution from the prohibited use list in Ordinance No. 030424-27 as shown in Exhibit B. The basis of Staff’s recommendation is provided on pages 2 - 3. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 14, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 28, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Applicant is in agreement with the Staff recommendation to rezone the property to CS- CO-NP. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of one platted lot, located at the north corner of Burleson Road and Norwood Lane. The subject site is currently zoned general commercial services – mixed use – conditional overlay – neighborhood plan (CS-MU-CO-NP) combining district zoning. The subject site is an undeveloped lot landscaped with natural grasses. There are other single-family residences to the northeast (CS-MU-CO-NP), a small used car dealership to the southeast (CS-NP), a construction company and warehouse use to the northwest (CS- B-71 of 15 C14-2022-0042 Page 2 CO-NP; IP-CO-NP), and industrial uses to the southwest (LI-CO). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). In April 2003, the subject property and the remainder of the blocks on the north and south sides of Norwood Lane were rezoned to CS-MU-CO-NP following Council direction provided at the conclusion of the Southeast Neighborhood Plan. Because the properties are within the Airport Overlay Zone 3 (AO-3, also known as the ½ mile buffer zone), new residential development is not allowed to occur outside of recorded final plats, municipal utility districts (MUDs) or certain neighborhood plans. The mixed use (MU) allows for continuation of the existing single family residences on Norwood Lane because they are within the recorded Blue Bonnet Gardens subdivision which predated adoption of the Airport Hazards and Compatible Land Uses ordinance by several decades. The Conditional Overlay (-CO) allows for personal services, personal improvement services, and general commercial service uses, but also prohibits a broad range of potential uses, …

City of Austin Planning Commission June 10, 2022 Re: Compatibility Setback Waiver for 1400 Cedar Avenue Dear Planning Commissioners, This letter is to inform the Commission that the Chestnut Neighborhood Plan Contact Team does not support the requested compatibility waiver for 1400 Cedar Avenue to reduce the setback from 25 feet to 7 feet. The Chestnut Neighborhood has a long history of supporting density in our neighborhood, as seen by our adoption of all the neighborhood infill tools as well as working with the city to create the MLK TOD. That said, we believe a 7-foot setback is inappropriate in this location and unnecessary for the desired density of this project. Approving this waiver would mean these homes would not comply with Subchapter F (McMansion) or Compatibility Standards. To this end, the top of the roof ridge is proposed to be over 40 feet high, and 30 feet high at the proposed setback, which is considerably higher than allowed by McMansion. For these reasons, we don’t feel the proposed project respects the neighborhood character of Chestnut. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, Chestnut Neighborhood Plan Contact Team

PROPERTY OWNER: Tracy Malone CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant single family residence-small lot – historic area – neighborhood plan (SF-4A-HD-NP) combining district zoning. The basis of Staff’s recommendation is provided on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 14, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 28, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject platted lot is located at the north corner of Highland Avenue and the unbuilt Bellemont Street, and within the Smoot / Terrace Park Historic District. The subject lot is zoned multifamily residence – moderate-high density – historic area – neighborhood plan (MF-4-HD-NP) combining district zoning, and contains one single family residence on the south side and an undeveloped area on the north side. There is a single family residence and a triplex to the north, and single family residences to the east, south and west (MF-4-HD-NP; MF-4-H-HD-NP; SF-3-HD-NP; SF-3-H-HD-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). The Applicant has requested the single family residence-small lot – historic area – neighborhood plan (SF-4A-HD-NP) district in order to facilitate a resubdivision of the lot and build a single family residence on the north side of the rezoning area on a new lot. C14-2022-0047 Page 2 Changes are not proposed to the existing single family residence. The existing lot does not meet the minimum size required for a resubdivision to occur under the family residence (SF- 3) base zoning district (11,500 square feet would be needed), hence the need for the SF-4A base zoning district which has a minimum lot size of 3,600 square feet. BASIS FOR 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 predominately for medium 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 which maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. The historic area (HD) combining district is to protect, enhance, and preserve areas that include structures or sites that are of architectural, historical, …

Both parties were acting as owner Tracy Malone’s representatives. The Zoning Committee members felt that the presentation was incomplete and, therefore, are requesting a postponement of the Planning Commission public hearing on the rezoning. The hearing is currently scheduled for June 14th, 2022. The committee seeks to understand how a change that increases site standards will affect adjacent properties, in terms of drainage and with regard to impervious cover, as well as proximity, and scale/massing. The site proposed for rezoning is on a steep hill with problematic drainage issues. The homeowners who live below on Oakland Avenue expressed concerns about drainage difficulties during heavy rains. In addition, the committee wants to ensure that changes in the site standards are compatible with the Smoot Terrace Park LHD, which require new construction design standards. Nash Garrison has agreed to meet with the OWANA Zoning Committee on June 27th, 2022. This meeting will give him the opportunity to answer questions asked by the committee, in order to move forward with the proposed rezoning. Our request is to postpone and move the Planning Commission public hearing to July 12th, 2022 Thank you for your consideration, Sheila Lyon OWANA Zoning Committee Chair CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
