BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Multifamily Residential land use because there is Mixed Use land use directly to the north. Multifamily residential land use will serve as a buffer between the mixed-use land use to the north and the single family land use to the south. The property is also located less than 600 feet south of East MLK Junior Blvd, which is an activity corridor as identified on the imagined Austin Comprehensive Plan where additional density can be accommodated. The property owner is proposing approximately 45 mixed residential dwelling units, which will provide additional housing choices for the city and the planning area. Below are sections of the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan that supports the applicant’s request: 2 2 of 2705 NPA-2023-0015.05.SH - 1702 Deloney Street; District 12 of 27 Planning Commission: March 26, 2024 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Single family - Single family detached or up to three residential uses at typical urban and/or suburban densities. Purpose 1. Preserve the land use pattern and future viability of existing neighborhoods; 2. Encourage new infill development that continues existing neighborhood patterns of development; and 3. Protect residential neighborhoods from incompatible business or industry and the loss of existing housing. Application 1. Existing single‐family areas should generally be designated as single family to preserve established neighborhoods; and 2. May include small lot options (Cottage, Urban Home, Small Lot Single Family) and two‐family residential options (Duplex, Secondary Apartment, Single Family Attached, Two‐Family Residential) in areas considered appropriate for this type of infill development. …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2023-0141.SH DISTRICT: 1 ADDRESS: 1702 Deloney Street ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP TO: MF-2-NP SITE AREA: approximately 2.027 acres (approximately 88,296 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: 1702 Deloney, LLC AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Leah M. Bojo) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting multifamily residence-low density-neighborhood plan (MF- 2-NP) combining district zoning. See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 26, 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract currently has one vacant single-family home built in approximately 1952, of approximately 1,300 square feet. This represents a density of approximately 0.5 units per acre. To the north is undeveloped land, a church built in approximately 1970 of approximately 7,000 square feet, and a single-family home built in approximately 1953, of approximately 1,200 square feet. To the west is undeveloped land, and a triplex built in approximately 1977, of approximately 4,000 square feet. To the south is undeveloped land, one single-family home built in approximately 1952, of approximately 1,200 square feet. To the east are two single-family homes (under construction) and a duplex built in approximately 2004. While there is floodplain and a creek buffer within the subject tract it does not encumber enough of the tract that it is unable to be developed as requested by this rezoning. Further analysis will be conducted during the subsequent site plan review process. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should promote clearly-identified community goals, such as creating employment opportunities or providing for affordable housing. 1 of 1106 C14-2023-0141.SH - 1702 Deloney Street; District 1 C14-2023-0141.SH 2 This rezoning would allow for the development of more diverse housing options and promote a range of price points based on diverse household needs. Neighborhood scale multifamily residential zoning is a critical part of reaching the community goal to create more “missing middle” housing. Granting multifamily residence-low density-neighborhood plan (MF-2-NP) combining district zoning here can provide lower density multifamily in a way that is consistent with the surrounding land uses. The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City Council or Planning Commission. Both Council and Planning Commission have adopted policies and principles to increase new residential development, specifically along Imagine Austin Corridors, where major public transportation assets exist and/or will be …

Suttle, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recom mends amending the Restrictive Covenant as outlined in Exhibit D: Restrictive Covenant Amendment Redlines. Please see the basis of recommendation section for more details. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION/RECOMMENDATION: February 27, 2024: Neighborhood Postponement granted to March 26, 2024, applicant is in agreement. March 26, 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: April 4, 2024: Case is tentatively scheduled to be heard by City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract of approximately 9.606 acres of undeveloped land. To the north is additional undeveloped land (across Southwest Parkway). To the south, east and west are single- family residences. This case seeks to add multifamily residential use as a permitted use of the property and establish a maximum impervious cover of 55% and 1:1 floor to area ratio for multifamily residential use. In exchange for the proposed modifications the project will: 1. Provide water quality controls in accordance with the Save Our Springs Initiative 1 of 669 C14-85-288.166(RCA2) 2 2. Achieve a minimum one-star rating under the Austin Energy Green Building Program 3. Restrict access to Sunset Ridge 4. Provide a minimum of four EV charging stations 5. Remove invasive species in accordance with the City of Austin Invasive Species Management Plan BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. Austin currently has a housing shortage and an affordable housing shortage. Restricting the use of this property to prohibit multifamily residential use is unreasonable in light of this situation. The applicant has proposed modifications that address environmental quality, sustainability, transportation access, and removal of invasive species. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. Austin City Council adopted the Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint in 2017. In the last annual report (2022) HousingWorks Austin identified that Council District 8 had only attained 2% of the district’s 10-year goal for new affordable housing units. Approving this restrictive covenant agreement would help add additional income restricted affordable housing units to Council District 8, …
PLANNING COMMISSION SITE PLAN COMPATIBILITY WAIVER REQUEST REVIEW SHEET 1010 W 26th LLC (Sudhakar Allada) Rivera Engineering (Michael Rivera, PE) PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: March 26, 2024 CASE: SP-2022-0591C COUNCIL DISTRICT: 9 PROJECT NAME: Avalon Flats at Sixth ADDRESS OF SITE: 1808 W 6th St APPLICANT: AGENT: AREA: 0.4661 acre WATERSHED: Johnson Creek (Urban) WATERSHED ORDINANCE: Comprehensive Watershed Ordinance C.I.P. STATUS: N/A T.I.A.: N/A CAPITOL VIEW: N/A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is proposing a multifamily development with nine free-standing units, with associated improvements and is requesting a waiver from 25-2-1063 to allow for a reduced setback. EXISTING ZONING: The site is zoned MF-4-CO-NP. The use and site plan generally comply with the zoning ordinance. DESCRIPTION OF WAIVER: Waiver request is as follows: LDC Section 25-2-1063(B): A person may not construct a structure 25 feet or less from property: 1) In an urban family residence (SF-5) or more restrictive zoning district; or 2) On which a use permitted in an SF-5 or more restrictive district is located. The applicant requests a waiver from a 25-foot compatibility setback to varied setbacks from less than one foot to just over 19 feet for residences and related improvements. SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval to allow an encroachment of less than one foot of the two units on the southeast side of the lot into the compatibility setback triggered by the adjacent single-family use, and a smaller unit located almost wholly within the setback, but over six feet from the triggering property. The site’s buildable area is constrained by its shape and being bounded by three rights-of-way, and will be compatible with the scale of residential development in the surrounding area. The site was originally designed under and compliant with the ordinances that allowed for greater height and reduced setbacks. The site design also has height and driveway setback issues that will need to be addressed by the Board of Adjustment at a separate hearing.

CPA-2024-0001 Exhibit A Background The Equitable Transit Oriented Development (ETOD) Policy Plan, accepted by City Council on March 9, 2023, through Resolution No. 20230309-016, included ETOD Typologies that are based on existing population, displacement risk, and relative change in population and jobs over the last decade. The resolution accepting the ETOD Policy Plan directed staff to initiate “amendments to the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan to reflect the ETOD Typologies included in the ETOD Policy Plan.” The purpose of the ETOD Policy Plan, including the ETOD Typologies, is to provide a policy framework to help Austin ensure that future development around the stations in the Project Connect transit system supports residents of all incomes and backgrounds, especially those who have been disproportionately burdened by past transportation and land use decisions. The ETOD Typologies The ETOD Typologies are intended to provide a snapshot of a station area’s current conditions. A station area is defined as roughly the ½ mile radius surrounding a station, or a 10-minute journey walking, biking, or rolling to or from a station. The eight Typologies were determined using several factors— existing population relative to other station areas, displacement risk of households, and the recent rate of change in jobs and population. More can be read about the methodology in the following pages. Because of their representation of current conditions in the station areas, the ETOD Typologies also speak to types of growth most needed for equitable outcomes in a station area. The ETOD Typology concept map shows the location of the different ETOD Typologies at station areas throughout the Project Connect system. The squares represent MetroRail and future Light Rail (rail) station areas, while the circles represent MetroRapid (bus) station areas. Although it is possible that some station locations may change as Project Connect engineering and design progresses in the future, Typologies based on the characteristics of any new station area locations will still be applied. Using the ETOD Typologies The ETOD Typologies provide additional context about what equitable growth should look like in a station area based on its characteristics and are intended to provide additional guidance to zoning and land use decision-making as city staff and decision makers evaluate recommended changes for consistency with the Imagine Austin Plan. Future Updates to the ETOD Typologies Staff will work to update the data used to inform the Typologies on a regular basis. Because of the small geographic scale …
