ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2026-0029 (9807 Middle Fiskville Road) DISTRICT: 4 ADDRESS: 9807 Middle Fiskville Road ZONING FROM: W/LO-CO-NP and CS-NP TO: LI-CO-NP SITE AREA: approximately 1.061 acres (approximately 46,211 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: RLF III Central, LLC AGENT: DPR Construction (Stephen Rye) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko, AICP (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting limited industrial services-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (LI-CO-NP) combining district zoning. The Conditional Overlay would prohibit the following 15 uses: - Bail Bond Services - Service Station - Outdoor Entertainment - Exterminating Services - Recycling Center - Performance Venue - Kennels - Club or Lodge - Liquor Sales - Drop-Off Recycling Collection Facility - Basic Industry - Outdoor Sports & Recreation - Indoor Sports and Recreation - Resource Extraction - Scrap and Salvage The staff’s recommendation would maintain the elements of the conditional overlay from Ordinance 010614-29 and 010830-42 which include a 35-foot wide vegetative buffer north and east of the property lines, and prohibit vehicular access from the property to Northcape Drive. This recommendation does not include any vehicle trip count limitations. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 28, 2026: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: TBD 04 C14-2026-0029 - 9807 Middle Fiskville; District 41 of 14 C14-2026-0029 2 ISSUES: In certain cases, limited industrial services (LI) zoning may be used within the mixed-use future land use category, provided the most intense industrial uses are limited through a Conditional Overlay. Therefore, Staff has determined that a plan amendment application is not required for this case. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently a former Frito Lay Distribution center of approximately 50,000 square feet that was constructed in approximately 1981 and approximately 150,000 square feet of paved parking. The previous conditional overlay from 2001 included a 35-foot vegetative buffer to the north and the east of the property to buffer the single-family neighborhood to the north and the east. It also included prohibiting vehicular traffic to Northcape Drive to the south of the property. While limited industrial services zoning is close to an existing single-family neighborhood, this appears to be a reuse of an existing building that has been there since 1981. The site is 1/3 mile north of East Rundberg Lane and approximately 500 feet east …

PLANNING COMMISSION SITE PLAN WAIVER REQUEST REVIEW SHEET CASE: SP-2025-0251C PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: July 28, 2026 (Continued from July 14, 2026) COUNCIL DISTRICT: 9 PROJECT NAME: 815 W 11th Street Office Building ADDRESS OF SITE: 815 W 11th Street APPLICANT: BSF Land Ventures, LLC (Kevin Fleming) AGENT: Bleyl Engineering (Jason Rodgers) AREA: 0.147 acre (6,425 sq.ft.) WATERSHED: Shoal Creek Creek (Urban) WATERSHED ORDINANCE: Comprehensive Watershed Ordinance C.I.P. STATUS: N/A T.I.A.: N/A CAPITOL VIEW: MOPAC Bridge Capitol View Corridor. See Attached Letter. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is proposing a four story office/residential building with a single residential unit on the fourth floor. Structure parking is proposed on a below ground level and at street level. A waiver is requested from the requirement to place a pedestrian oriented use between the first floor parking and the street. EXISTING ZONING: The site is zoned DMU-CO-ETOD-DBETOD. The Conditional (CO) overlay establishes a height limit of 40 feet for commercial uses and up to 60 feet for Residential uses above 40 feet. DESCRIPTION OF WAIVER: LDC Section 25-6-591 (see appendix) establishes parking standards for projects in the downtown CBD and DMU Zones. One of those requirements is that a parking garage must be separated from an adjacent street by a pedestrian-oriented use. Allowed pedestrian-oriented uses are listed in LDC Section 25-2-691 and include residential uses as well as a variety of retail, restaurant and personal services uses. LDC Section 25-6-591D authorizes the Planning Commission to waive the requirement to provide a pedestrian oriented use if enforcing that regulation does not allow a reasonable use of the property or if other circumstances attributable to the property make compliance impractical. The applicant is requesting a waiver based on the size and configuration of the lot and the proposed access and parking layout. The subject site is a mid-block parcel, approximately 50 feet wide with frontage on 11th Street to the north and to the alley on the south. The proposed building extends to the east and west property lines. A below-ground parking level 10 spaces (including one ADA space) be accessed from the alley. Ten enclosed parking spaces (including 6 compact spaces) would be accessed at street level from 11th Street. The two-way driveway access to the first floor parking is 18 feet wide. As designed, the driveway is generally central to the building, with a 20 foot wide stairwell and elevator lobby to the west, and …
