ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 4 TO: LR-MU-V-CO-NP CASE: C14-2024-0012.SH ADDRESS: 6304 Manor Road ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP SITE AREA: approximately 0.2488 acres (approximately 10,837 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: Anmol Mehra AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Leah Bojo) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting neighborhood commercial-mixed use-vertical mixed use- conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (LR-MU-V-CO-NP) combining district zoning. The conditional overlay would prohibit offsite accessory parking, pedicab storage and dispatch, and service station uses. See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 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 property in question is currently undeveloped land. To the north are two duplexes approximately 1,800 square feet each, built in approximately 1969. To the east is a single-family home of approximately 1,700 square feet, built in approximately 1963. To the south (across Manor Road) is a duplex of approximately 1,850 square feet, built in approximately 1969. To the west is a fourplex that is approximately 3,200 square feet built in approximately 1972. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should satisfy a real public need and not provide special privilege to the owner. The proposed zoning would satisfy a real public need of implementing the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan, Imagine Austin. It would promote more intense mixed-use C14-2024-0012.SH 2 development along Imagine Austin Activity Corridors and high frequency transit routes, with the potential for income-restricted affordable housing as part of the redevelopment. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. It is reasonable to allow zoning that is greater than SF-3 along an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor in the walkshed of a high frequency bus route and stop. Maintaining this level of density would not help further Imagine Austin and would result in the investment in public transportation to underperform. Zoning should promote the policy of locating retail and more intensive zoning near the intersections of arterial roadways or at the intersections of arterials and major collectors. Manor Road is an ASMP level 3 corridor and an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor that intersects with Springdale Road, also an ASMP level 3 corridor and Imagine Austin Activity Corridor approximately 850 feet east of the subject tract. Manor Road has sidewalks, bicycle lanes and is serviced by the CapMetro high frequency #20 bus route with a …

The existing land use on the future land use map (FLUM) is Specific Regulating District. There is no proposed change to the future land use map.

Plaza Saltillo Station (TOD) Area Plan adopted December 11, 2008 Planning Commission: May 28, 2024 ACTION: CITY COUNCIL DATE: TBD PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 2024 – (action pending) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request to change the Land Use and Design Concept map from Live/Work Flex to TOD Mixed Use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The applicant is proposing to amend the Land Use and Design Concept Plan map(s) in the Plaza Saltillo TOD Station Area Plan from Live/Work Flex to TOD Mixed Use so the project can participate in the Density Plus Height Bonus Program. This program will require the proposed multifamily development to reserve a minimum of 15% of the entire square footage as affordable, on-site units for those earning no more than 50% Medium Family Income (MFI). The current designation as Live/Work Flex does not allow the property to participate in this program. Staff supports the applicant’s request because of the property is located 0.2 miles from the Plaza Saltillo Station where increased density can be supported. The TOD Mixed Use is the highest density designation that will allow for more residential and commercial uses to be developed within ¼-mile of the Plaza Saltillo Station.

See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 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 is currently Office/Retail/Commercial built in approximately 1920 and 1947. To the north of the subject tract (across East 4th Street) is undeveloped land and a nightclub/bar (the historic Scoot Inn) built in approximately 1912, approximately 2,700 square feet east of the tract is a single- family home built in approximately 1909, of approximately 1,100 square feet. To the south of the subject tract are two newer duplexes and to the west of the subject tract is a single-family home built in approximately 1908, approximately 800 square feet. The subject tract is less than 500 feet from the Plaza Saltillo Red Line Station. The property currently contains zero dwelling units per acre. Target residential densities to support robust fixed-route or dedicated transit in an urban center are within the range of 75 to 150 dwelling units per acre within ½ mile radius of the station area. Without an increase in density, and additional more intense mixed-use development as parcels redevelop within the station area, the CapMetro Red Line and associated connecting bus service may under-perform. C14-2023-0153 2 A review of the subdistrict map within the regulating plan indicated a substantial amount of property zoned TOD Mixed Use Subdistrict on the north side of the station area, much further away from the station area. The TOD Mixed Use Subdistrict is found more than 3 times as far away from the station as the subject tract. This distribution is not uniform and there is not a compelling reason to maintain this distribution given its proximity to the station. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Areas zoned (TOD-NP) TOD Mixed Use Subdistrict are located in the closest proximity to transit and …

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 18, 2024: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: In December 2023, Ordinance No. 20220609-080, Ordinance No. 20221201-056 and Ordinance No. 20221201-055 were invalidated. On March 11, 2024, Ordinance No. 20240229-073, was enacted to create the “DB90” combining district, which amended City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to create a new zoning district for a density bonus program that grants 30 feet in height above the base zoning district, to a maximum of 90 feet, and modifies site development regulations including compatibility standards. Subsequently, the applicant submitted a rezoning application to request the -DB90 combining district. Case number C14-2024-0040 Page 2 The property is located within the Oak Hill Combined Neighborhood Plan Area (East), and the current FLUM (Future Land Use Map) designation is Neighborhood Mixed Use. A Neighborhood Plan Amendment (NPA) is on file with a request to change FLUM to Mixed Use and is proposed to be heard at the May 28, 2024 Planning Commission. This site plan is currently on hold in the final review process, as it was submitted pursuant to the Commercial-Residential program (Ordinance No. 20221201-055), and did not require or propose a ground floor commercial use. The DB90 ordinance requires 75% of the ground floor to contain pedestrian-oriented commercial spaces when fronting a principal street, however, the Ordinance also allows for modification to this requirement when the site abuts certain roadways. The site abuts a highway (principal street) and also two suburban roadways, both of which are eligible roadways to request this modification. Staff recommends granting the applicant’s modification request to not provide pedestrian-oriented commercial space. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The site is located at W US Hwy 290, Westcreek Drive and Old Fredericksburg Road within the East Oak Hill Neighborhood Plan area. The Property is comprised of a vacant office building consisting of a building that was primarily …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not support the applicant’s request for Mixed Use land use because the property abuts residential uses to the west with a portion of the site within the flood plain. Staff believes the Neighborhood Mixed use land use will provide some protection to the residential uses by limiting the intensity of the commercial uses allowed on the property. Although there is Mixed Use land use to the east and at the north and south nodes of Berkman Drive and US Hwy 290 and E. 51st Street, the predominate land uses on the western side of Berkman Drive are low-intensity land uses of Single Family and Office/Mixed Use, with one lot of Civic land use for a church. Below are sections from the University Hills/Windsor Park Combined Neighborhood Plan (Windsor Park), which staff believes supports the Neighborhood Mixed Use land use. Planning Commission: May 28, 2024 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Mixed Use/Office - An area that is appropriate for a mix of residential and office uses. Purpose 1. Accommodate mixed use development in areas that are not appropriate for general commercial development; and 2. Provide a transition from residential use to non Application ‐ residential or mixed use. 1. Appropriate for areas such as minor corridors or local streets adjacent to commercial areas; 2. May be used to encourage commercial uses to transition to residential use; and Planning Commission: May 28, 2024 3. Provide limited opportunities for live/work residential in urban areas.

The existing conditional overlay, which prohibits the residential use of the tract from exceeding 25 percent of the total square footage of the first floor, would remain. See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 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 contains two office buildings, built in approximately 1976 and 1977, approximately 2,400 square feet and 1,200 square feet.

Reznicek Fields (P- NP) are to the north, restaurants (GR-CO-NP, LR-V-CO-NP, CS-V-NP) to the south, and there are automotives sales and repairs (TOD-NP) to the west. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant has requested a rezoning to the family residence-neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) combining district to construct three (3) single family units as the new HO.M.E amendments allow three unit residential in SF-3. C14-2024-0049 2 Staff is recommending the family residence-neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) combined district because this property meets the intent of the district and would provide more housing on this lot. The new H.O.M.E amendments allow three unit residential on SF1, SF-2 and SF-3 zonings. Three-unit residential use is not a permitted use in the existing zoning, townhome and condominium residence-neighborhood plan (SF-6-NP). This site is 0.07 miles east of Airport Blvd Activity Corridor; 0.3 miles east of Crestview Station Town Center; 0.20 miles north of Highland Mall Station Regional Center and there is a bus stop located .03 mil away. There is a rapid bus stop, Crestview station, a grocery store, Highland Park and other good and services within 0.5 miles. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The family residence district is the designation for a moderate density single-family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on …

The conditional overlay will limit the maximum height of development on the property to 60 feet. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2024-0025.SH 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 0.515 acre area that is currently used as a surface parking lot that serves to accommodate overflow from St. Martin’s Lutheran Church across Rio Grande Street to the east. To the north, there is a cemetery zoned GO-H. The lot to the south, across W.15th Street, is developed with a historic structure that has been renovated as an office that houses a non-profit civic use (Humanities Texas) zoned GO-H. To the west, the lots are developed with residential (Hilger’s House) and office (Bounce, Maui Med Spa) uses zoned SF-3-H, LO respectively. In this request, the applicant is asking for a rezoning to DMU-CO to allow for an affordable multifamily senior rental development on the property (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The site under consideration is located within the Judges Hill District of the Downtown Austin Plan. The Downtown Austin Plan does not have a Future Land Use Map (“FLUM”). Therefore, a Neighborhood Plan Amendment (NPA case) is not required. The property is located in a portion of Downtown Austin that is ineligible for participation in the Downtown Density Bonus Program (please see Downtown Austin Plan Exhibits – Exhibit E). The staff recommends DMU-CO zoning because the property meets the intent of the DMU base district. There is DMU-CO zoning a block away to the south across W. 14th Street, DMU-H-CO zoning to the west along West Avenue and DMU-CO zoning to the east along Nueces Street. Although this property is outside of the area that is eligible for Downtown Density Bonus Program, the applicant is proposing a conditional overlay to limit the maximum height of development on the property to 60 feet. This is consistent with the permitted height on the surrounding GO zoned lots to the …

PROPERTY OWNER: OP Park Place Property LLC AGENT: Drenner Group, P.C. (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant community commercial-mixed use-vertical mixed use building-density bonus 90 (GR-MU-V-DB90) combined district zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: In December 2023, Ordinance No. 20220609-080, Ordinance No. 20221201-056 and Ordinance No. 20221201-055 were invalidated. On March 11, 2024, Ordinance No. 20240229-073, was enacted to create the “DB90” combining district, which amended City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to create a new zoning district for a density bonus program that grants 30 feet in height above the base zoning district, to a maximum of 90 feet, and modifies site development regulations including compatibility standards. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 4.396 acres, developed with four (4) office buildings, is on Banister Lane (level 2) and is currently zoned limited office and community commercial (LO and GR). The property has single family residences and multifamily residential (PUD, SF-3, MF-2 and MF-3-CO) to the north, east and west. There are also business offices and commercial buildings (PUD, LO, GR-MU-CO, and GR) to the north, south, east and west. C14-2024-0042 2 There is also an undeveloped tract to the east (CS-MU-CO). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant is requesting community commercial-mixed use-vertical mixed use building- density bonus 90 (GR-MU-V-DB90) combining district for a proposed development that would include multi-family units requiring an affordable component. A building constructed under density bonus 90 (DB90) standards allows for a mix of residential uses and commercial uses, and the result is typically retail, restaurants and offices on the ground floor, and residential units on upper levels. The overall project would consist of more than 200 residential units. A development utilizing the “density bonus 90” incentives is permitted with a base GR district and must include an affordability component for residential use in order to obtain incentives, including height maximum of 90 feet in the GR district (60 feet base plus 30 feet incentive) and relaxation of development and compatibility standards, such as FAR, setbacks and building coverage. There are several methods of satisfying DB90 development affordability …

The applicant is requesting to terminate a restrictive covenant– 202219204 located on the city-owned St. John Site (former Home Depot and former Chrysler Dealership). Granting this request would align the legal parameters of the site with the Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) that will be developed and approved as part of the City’s Site Development Permit process. This termination is recommended by the Transportation and Public Works Department. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: In December 2017, Austin City Council passed Resolution No. 20171207-058 directing the City Manager to work with the community on a new vision for the subject property that would better serve the surrounding St. Johns neighborhood. In July 2020, after two years of outreach and community engagement, City Council passed Resolution No. 20200729-117 affirming the new community vision, initiating this rezoning request (C14-2022-0118) and the associated neighborhood plan amendment (NPA-2022-0029.02), and directing staff to issue an RFP to solicit a development partner to realize the community vision. In June, 2022 the City of Austin Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines were updated to include a Zoning and Transportation and Analysis (ZTA) requirement for zoning cases where the applications are expected to generate 2,000 or more unadjusted daily trips when a Transportation Assessment of a Full TIA is not required at that time. A ZTA Memo was created for the project and assigned to the property as a Restrictive Covenant when rezoning occurred. Applying the ZTA through a Restrictive Covenant is no longer the practice of the City of Austin. Removal of this RC aligns the site with current review processes.

Meredith, Maureen To: Subject: Peggy 4900 RE: Opposition to Low Income Housing proposal in Westcreek From: Peggy 4900 < Sent: Monday, May 27, 2024 10:07 AM To: Meredith, Maureen <Maureen.Meredith@austintexas.gov> Cc: Peggy Boice - Subject: Opposition to Low Income Housing proposal in Westcreek Thanks so much, Maureen. One reason for my opposition is how close it will be to the neighborhood elementary school, which is already overcrowded. Another concern is safety. Low-income housing projects often have a lot of crime. That happened in my neighborhood in Houston after New Orleans low-income residents were moved here during and after Hurricane Harvey. Even though a lot moved back to New Orleans, the crime has continued in my formerly safe neighborhood. Finally, I think a lot of Westcreek residents, like my tenant, are elderly. They, and young families, would be targets for crime. Thank you for submitting my comments. I’m sure many more residents have tried to email you their comments, but Westcreek gave out an incorrect email for you and so far they haven’t corrected it yet.
