BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for a Mixed Use land use designation because the property fronts onto Lake Austin Boulevard, an activity corridor identified in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan’s Growth Concept Map. A Mixed Use future land use category is appropriate along those corridors. Furthermore, the associated zoning change request from GR-NP (Community Commercial – Neighborhood Plan) to GR-MU-NP (Community Commercial –Mixed Use combining district- Neighborhood Plan) and the future land use map change request from Neighborhood Commercial to Mixed Use will make the zoning and land use designation consistent. The Central West Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan (2010) was approved before the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan (2012) when activity corridors and activity centers were designated. The existing zoning on the property is GR-NP, and the existing land use on the future land use map is Neighborhood Commercial. The most intense zoning district compatible with the existing land use of Neighborhood Commercial land use is LR – MU (Neighborhood Commercial – Mixed Use). The zoning on properties along this segment of Lake Austin Boulevard varies from CS-NP, GR-NP, GR-CO-NP, LR-NP, GO-CO-NP, and LO-NP, making most sites inconsistent with their land use designation of Neighborhood Commercial. Although the subject tract is the only one presently requesting a change to Mixed Use, this designation would be the most compatible land use for all these sites along this segment of Lakeshore Boulevard, given its designation as an activity corridor in the comprehensive plan. 06 NPA-2025-0027.01 - Lake Austin; District 102 of 25 The Central West Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan envisions Lake Austin Blvd as a gateway into the planning …

The rear of the property is an approximately 15-foot paved alley.

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET C20-2025-001 Amendment: C20-2025-001 Amendments to the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan (ERC): Conduct a public hearing and consider a recommendation to amend City Code Title 25 to amend the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan (ERC) to remove the property at 1201 Tinnin Ford Road from the ERC Regulating Plan and to change the boundary of the ERC Regulating Plan. Background and summary of proposed code amendment: Initiated by the City Council under Resolution No. 20250213-030. Council Sponsors: Council Member José Velásquez, Mayor Pro Tem Vanessa Fuentes, Council Member José ''Chito'' Vela, Council Member Ryan Alter, Council Member Zohaib ''Zo'' Qadri. On February 25, 2010, the Austin City Council adopted the ERC as an amendment to the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The ERC Plan presents a long-term vision for the area to redevelop the existing low density, auto-oriented commercial uses into an urban mixed-use neighborhood that is more pedestrian and bicycle-friendly. An important element of the plan is to enhance development design quality and create great places where people can live, work, shop, interact and recreate within a walking distance of one another. In May 2013, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 20130509-039 which created the ERC zoning district and adopted the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan for the East Riverside Corridor Zoning District which established the ERC Planning Area Boundary (ERC Regulating Plan). The City Council also adopted Ordinance No. 20130509-042 which rezoned 228 acres of land within the area generally known as the East Riverside Corridor district from their current base zoning districts designations to ERC. The approximate 2.3368-acre property located at 1201 Tinnin Ford Road, which lies directly adjacent to the Lakeshore PUD, was rezoned within the boundary of the ERC Regulating Plan by Ordinance No. 20130509- 042. In August 2023, a planned unit development amendment application was submitted to the City under Case No. C814-06-0103.03 (the PUD Amendment Application) to amend the development regulations within the Lakeshore PUD and to add the Tinnin Ford Tract to the Lakeshore PUD. Therefore, in order for the PUD Amendment Application to include the Tinnin Ford Tract, a Code amendment to change the boundary of the ERC Regulating Plan to remove the subject track is required. The amendment will allow for cohesive development regulations within the Lakeshore PUD. The current Plan includes various figures containing the subject property. See Exhibit “A”. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends APPROVAL of the …

From: Tabrez Syed < Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2025 9:32 AM To: Meredith, Maureen <Maureen.Meredith@austintexas.gov> Subject: Public Hearing Comment: NPA-2025-0019.01.SH - Waverly/AGE Hi Maureen, I'm a resident at 3404 Cedar St, Austin, TX 78705, just down the street from the AGE building that's up for rezoning consideration. Unfortunately, I can't make it to the meetings, so I wanted to reach out and express my support for the project. I really believe that affordable housing will be a great addition to our community, and I think the developer's approach aligns well with the character of our neighborhood. Thanks so much for your time and consideration! Best, Tabrez 04 and 05 NPA-2025-0019.01.SH and C14-2025-0034.SH - Waverly North; District 91 of 1
Outlook Case Number: C14-2025-0034 From Margaret F Surratt <msurratt@utexas.edu> Date Mon 5/12/2025 12:18 PM To Tomko, Jonathan <Jonathan.Tomko@austintexas.gov> You don't often get email from msurratt@utexas.edu. Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Although I'm not excited by the prospect, I'm not opposed given these conditions 1: The historical significance of the Confederate Widow and Orphans be maintained and that the new building areas be compatible. 2: Parking must be provided equal to the anticipated number of apartments. The area is already a parking mess. Some streets are for residents only because of the problems related to neighborhood parking by UT students. The situation is already a mess without creating more parking volume. Lots in the neighborhood are narrow and long and it's already completely at maximum parking capacity especially on city trash, recycling and compost days. 3. Even if parking is provided, leaving the area will be a problem -- 38th street is extremely busy already and West 35th & 37th streets already have a large volume of traffic. There are businesses at the corner of West 37th street which results in a congested mess already especially during peak traffic periods. 4: Driving around Austin there seems to be a lot of space for additional housing but it needs to be a size that is compatible with the neighborhood and ALL neighborhoods should share in creating new housing opportunities and not just areas in the city core. Existing residential neighborhoods through the city should be providing not just areas near bus lines. Thank you Margaret Surratt at 307 W 37th resident since 1969 CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.
