ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-082 of 89C814-2018-0121 Page 3 ISSUES: A site plan is currently under review for the subject property City File # SP-2019-0297C). During the review, it was determined that vehicular access to South Lamar would be modified and no longer match the TIA. ATD has reviewed the proposed changes and has prepared an updated TIA memorandum, which is attached to this report. Please refer to Exhibit G- Petition Request. A petition has been filed in opposition to this rezoning request. The petition includes 17.79% of eligible signatures and does not meet the threshold for a Valid Petition. Please refer to Exhibit N- Petition Request. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: Existing Conditions. The subject property is a 1.260 acre lot at the northwest corner of South Lamar Boulevard Southbound and Toomey Road. The property is zoned CS-V and is currently developed with a Schlotzsky’s restaurant. The property is located in the Butler Shores subdistrict of the Waterfront Overlay. Immediately to the north and west of the property are City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) park and related facilities including ZACH Theatre facilities, the People’s Plaza, and PARD offices. The PARD property is primarily zoned P-Public except for small portions that are zoned CS and CS-1. Across Toomey Road to the south is the Cole Building, a mixed use building with apartments, restaurant, retail, and other pedestrian- oriented land uses. Further south are properties zoned CS and CS-V with a mix of commercial uses including hotel, retail, and more. Southwest of the rezoning tract are properties with a mix of commercial uses including City offices and facilities. East of the subject property, across Lamar Boulevard, are properties zoned CS-1 and CS that are developed with a Bridges on the Park condominiums and a mix of commercial uses including personal services, retail, and more. Northeast of the proposed rezoning tract at the southeast corner of Riverside Drive and South Lamar Boulevard Northbound is 211 South Lamar, also known as Taco PUD. Please refer to Exhibits A and B – Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The focus of the Applicant’s request is to increase the maximum building height from 60’ to 96’. Most properties along this stretch of South Lamar Boulevard have CS base zoning like this site, and therefore are limited to 60’ of building height. Notable exceptions are the Topher Theatre and the 211 South Lamar PUD. An ordinance was passed in 2008 (Ord. No. 20080724-82) to create a height exception for fly towers associated with a public performing arts theater. This allows the Topher Theatre to reach 80’ in height. In 2013 Cith Council approved the PUD ordinance for 211 South Lamar (Ord. No. 20131017-052), which approved 96’ in height for a residential/mixed use building. In 2019, Council approved an ordinance amending the PUD, but the permitted height remained unchanged (Ord. No. 20191017-079). The amendment at 211 South Lamar was to change to a hotel/mixed use building. Existing Overlays. As stated above, the property is in the Butler Shores subdistrict of the Waterfront Overlay (WO). The subdistrict establishes design standards and permitted land uses that are more restrictive than the base zoning category. For example, although the property is currently zoned CS-V, at least 50% of the first floor of any development is limited to eleven land uses that are considered pedestrian-oriented. As part of the PUD request, the Applicant states that the requirements of the WO are the special circumstances that affect the site, since the site is less than 10 acres. Please refer to Exhibit C – Waterfront Overlay Regulations. B-083 of 89C814-2018-0121 Page 4 The property also currently is subject to the Vertical Mixed Use (V or VMU) overlay. This allows increased development intensity on a site if certain conditions are met, but VMU does not allow increased height. Transportation. Under City Code, South Lamar Boulevard is designated as a Core Transit Corridor. South Lamar has also been designated as a Level 3 roadway in the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP). The ASMP also identifies this area of South Lamar as a Transit Priority Network, Bicycle Priority Network, and Vehicle Priority Network. The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan (IACP) identifies this corridor as a Growth Concept Corridor. These designations reflect the role of South Lamar as a major roadway that is anticipated to experience continued growth and establishes prioritized improvements for the corridor. Draft Land Development Code. The current draft Code Identifies this property with a MU5A Corridor zoning designation. Mixed-Use 5A (MU5A) zone is intended to allow high-intensity multi-unit residential, office, service, retail, and entertainment uses. The Bridges on the Park across Lamar are also designated as MU5A and other properties south between Toomey Road and Barton Springs Road are designated MS3 Main Street Zone district. Main Street 3 (MS3) zone is intended to provide housing and convenient access to services and amenities for nearby residents in a high-intensity urban main street environment with active frontages located in regional centers, or along well-connected corridors served by frequent transit. Please refer to Exhibit D- Draft Proposed LDC. Proposed Rezoning. The Applicant is requesting PUD zoning to allow redevelopment of the property with an office building with mixed pedestrian-oriented uses on the ground floor. In brief, the Applicant is requesting to: • Increase the maximum building height from 60’ height to 96’; elevator equipment can exceed height by 20% (15% per code) Increase floor-to-area ratio (FAR) from 2:1 to 3.55:1 • • Reduce all building setbacks to 0’. The existing CS base zoning district requires a 10’ front and street side yard setback. • Add administrative/business offices as ground floor pedestrian oriented use; administrative/business office use not to exceed 50% of ground floor uses The Applicant is proposing the following items to meet Tier 1 and Tier 2 PUD requirements: • The rooftop deck would be made available by reservation to local non-profits. • 3-star Green Building • Street yard landscaping will exceed minimum code requirements by 35%. Landscape area soil depth will exceed minimum code requirements by 6 inches. • Landscaping will use native/adaptive species • Contribute a minimum of $20,000 (not to exceed $27,800) toward a planned Capital Metro bus stop upgrade adjacent to the site and $25, 000 toward bike track • Enhance supplemental zones along Lamar including 7’ planting zone, 10’ bike track, and 15’ landscape /sidewalk zone • 100 caliper inches of trees • Adopt an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan • Provide onsite Art in Public Spaces B-084 of 89C814-2018-0121 Page 5 • Provide a direct pedestrian connection between this site and the PARD-owned park and related facilities to the north and west • Exceed bike parking by 120% • Provide electric vehicle parking spaces • No surface level parking, all subgrade parking • No onsite residential will be provided; the property owner will pay a fee-in-lieu toward housing in the area at a rate determined by Neighborhood Housing and Conservation Department (NHCD) • Participate in purple pipe reclaimed water system when available; double piping until then • Four ADA accessible shower facilities • Parking on this site will be a community benefit by adding parking for nearby park and theater users. This will not be free or reserved, it will be regular paid parking. Tables drafted by the Applicant that outline these proposed conditions are attached. Please refer to Exhibits E and F- PUD Waterfront Overlay Variances Table and Tier 1 & Tier 2 Compliance Exhibit. Transportation Impact. As stated above, South Lamar has also been designated in several Council-adopted planning and regulatory documents as a major roadway that is anticipated to experience continued growth. These plans establish prioritized improvements for the corridor. As part of the rezoning request, the Applicant has prepared a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) that has been reviewed by City Staff. Staff has outlined a plan for the Applicant to provide onsite transportation improvements and pay monies toward nearby, off-site improvements. The Applicant has agreed to these conditions of zoning. Please refer to Exhibit G- Traffic Mitigation Memorandum. Affordable Housing Fee-in-Lieu. The Applicant has agreed to terms approved by NHCD: A. Dwelling units equal to not less 10 percent of the bonus area devoted to a residential rental use shall be leased on an ongoing basis to households earning no more than 60 percent of the median family income for the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area for a period not less than 40 years from the date a final certificate of occupancy is issued for the property. The property owner shall enter into a restrictive covenant with the City of Austin enumerating these requirements as necessary to ensure compliance with this provision. B. Dwelling units equal to not less than 5 percent of the bonus area devoted to a residential owner-occupied use shall be sold to income-eligible homebuyers earning no more than 80 percent of the median family income for the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area. Each affordable owner-occupied unit shall be restricted by a fixed equity and resale agreement approved by NHCD for a period not less than 99 years from the date a final certificate of occupancy is issued for the property. If a condominium declaration will be filed for the property, NHCD shall have the right to review and insert provisions related to the affordable units prior to filing. C. The property owner shall pay a fee-in-lieu of on-site affordable housing to NHCD not less than an amount equal to the planned unit development fee rate current at the time of site plan submittal times the bonus square footage devoted to non-residential use. D. NHCD shall have the right to establish additional guidelines and processes to ensure compliance with the affordability requirements applicable to the PUD. B-085 of 89C814-2018-0121 Page 6 A site plan is under City review for construction of a 7-story office building with ground floor commercial uses and other amenities (SP-2019-0279C). Affordable housing fees will be calculated prior to site plan approval. Please refer to Exhibit H- NHCD Letter. Correspondence. Staff has received correspondence regarding the proposed rezoning. Please refer to Exhibit I- Correspondence. Other Exhibits. The final Staff Comment Review Report is attached, as well as the proposed Land Use Plan. Please refer to Exhibits J and K- Staff Comment Report and PUD Land Use Plan. The Carbon Impact Statement prepared by the Applicant is attached but has not yet been evaluated by Staff in the Office of Sustainability. Also attached is the presentation made by Watershed Protection Staff to the Environmental Commission on December 4, 2019. Please refer to Exhibits L and M- Carbon Impact Statement and Environmental Commission Presentation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the requested PUD zoning with the addition of a public RC to attach the Transportation Mitigation Memo. The Applicant has agreed to this condition. The Butler Shores subdistrict and overall Waterfront Overlay were created in the late 1990s and do not reflect the rapid growth of our city over the past 20 years. City Council has placed a high priority on densification of the central city to reduce traffic impacts of the continued growth. Beginning in the mid-2010s, increased heights have been approved in the Butler Shores subdistrict and other parts of the Waterfront Overlay. In addition to the Topher Theatre and 211 South Lamar, a 15-story office/mixed use building has been approved at 425 Riverside (“Snoopy PUD”) and 6-story residential/mixed use building at 422 Riverside (“RunTex PUD”). Additional buildings have “grandfathered” entitlements that allow increased height, including The Catherine and the Austin American-Statesmen site. The Statesman site is currently under City review for a PUD that could allow heights up to 540’. While most of these properties are located near South First Street and Congress Avenue, the increases in height have extended west to Lamar Boulevard. As stated above, South Lamar has also been designated in several Council-adopted planning and regulatory documents as a major roadway that is anticipated to experience continued growth. These plans establish prioritized improvements for the corridor. As part of the rezoning request, the Applicant has agreed to participate in the corridor improvements, and the scale of the proposed development reflects the anticipated growth in the area. BASIS OF STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district 1. sought. Per the Land Development Code, the Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning district has been established to implement the goals of preserving the natural environment, encouraging high quality development and innovative design, and ensuring adequate public facilities and services. The City Council intends PUD district zoning to produce development that achieves these goals to a greater degree than and that is therefore superior to development under conventional zoning and subdivision regulations. B-086 of 89C814-2018-0121 Page 7 The proposed PUD offers a development on the subject property that can create a mixed use space that connects South Lamar Boulevard to the Zach Theatre and PARD parkland. The PUD would provide a ground floor plaza adjacent to the park and streetscape improvements along Lamar. The PUD would provide pedestrian-oriented uses on the ground floor, upper story office uses, underground vehicular parking, charging stations for electric vehicles, landscaping with 100% native and adapted plants, rainwater harvesting, and more. In addition, the proposed PUD amendment supports affordable housing initiatives via a fee-in-lieu of onsite dwelling units. The development would contribute onsite and adjacent transportation benefits as well as contribute to offsite improvements. The development would achieve a 3-star rating under the Austin Green Building program, provide additional bike parking for tenants and others. 2. properties. Height increases have been granted to the nearby Topher Theatre (70’) and 211 South Lamar (96’), as well as other properties that are located in other subdistricts of the Waterfront Overlay. Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City 3. Council or Planning Commission. As stated previously, the proposed rezoning is consistent with several policies and plans adopted by Planning Commission and City Council: Core Transit Corridor regulations; the ASMP, which identifies this area as a Transit Priority Network, Bicycle Priority Network, and Vehicle Priority Network. The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan (IACP) identifies this corridor as a Growth Concept Corridor.

Curtis Beatty, P.E. Amber Mitchell Joan Jenkins, EIT Reference: 218 S Lamar Blvd (PUD) – TIA Final Memo C814-2018-0121 Traffic Impact Analysis: The Austin Transportation Department has reviewed the January 30, 2019 (received February 12, 2019) “218 South Lamar Development Transportation Impact Study PUD Traffic Impact Analysis”, prepared by Big Red Dog. The proposed land use consists of 189,881 square feet of office space and 5,000 square feet of high-turnover restaurant space. The development will be located near the northwest corner of South Lamar Boulevard and Toomey Road intersection, in southwest Austin. The development is anticipated to be completed by 2020. The following is a summary of review findings and recommendations: Trip Generation: Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (10th Edition), the development will generate approximately 2,685 adjusted average daily vehicles trips (ADT) upon build out. Table 1 shows the trip generation by land uses for the proposed development. Table 1: Adjusted Trip Generation Proposed Land Use Size General Office (710) Hight Turnover Restaurant (932) Total 24-Hour Two Way Volume AM Peak Hour Enter Exit 26 176 PM Peak Hour Enter Exit 145 41 189,881 SF 2,208 5,000 SF 477 2,685 23 199 19 45 26 67 16 161 Page 1 of 4 B-0829 of 89Assumptions: 1. Transit and Active trip reductions of 15% 2. Based on TxDOT AADT volume data, a four (4) percent annual growth rate was assumed to account for the increase in background traffic. 3. Considerations were made for the following projects in the analysis: a. The Carpenter (SP-2016-0073C) b. Dougherty Arts Center (TBD) Significant Results: The proposed site causes minimal impact to the existing vehicle operations. One area to highlight is the eastbound approach at Toomey Road and South Lamar Boulevard where the vehicle queue is expected to extend past the proposed driveway location. This is due to a combination of existing traffic, which currently experiences queueing issues, and the additional site traffic. However, it is expected that most of the queuing related to site traffic would occur primarily within the site parking garage. The vehicles queueing in the garage would be allowed to exit when the light at Toomey Road/South Lamar Boulevard turned green. Improvements have been identified to account for pedestrians and bikes. Sidewalk gaps and pedestrian crosswalks on Toomey Road have been identified. Additionally, contribution will be made to the south Lamar Bond corridor improvements, which include sidewalk and bike lane improvements. There is an existing transit stop at the northwest corner of Toomey Road and South Lamar Boulevard. The bus stop has been identified to be relocated to the south side of Toomey Road to better address CapMetro’s safety and operation concerns. Staff Recommendations: 1. The Applicant shall design and construct 100% of the following improvements as part of their first site development application. Note: Cost estimates should not be assumed to represent the maximum dollar value of improvements the applicant may be required to construct. a. Sidewalk (450 feet by 5 feet) on the south side of Toomey Rd. from Barton Place Trail to Jessie Street.; installation of curb ramps across Jessie Street on the south side of Toomey; and crosswalk striping across Jessie Street and Toomey Rd. b. Designated dock-less vehicle parking area at the northwest corner of the Barton Pl. Trail Crosswalk and Toomey Rd. 2. Fee in-lieu contribution to the City of Austin shall be made for the improvements identified in Table 2, totaling $255,000.00, before third reading.

A Cap Metro transit stop is located 500 ft. from the subject area. Several bus lines run on South Lamar Blvd. including the 803 RapidBus. The Walkscore for this property is 82/100, Very Walkable, meaning most errands may be accomplished on foot. The Butler Hike and Bike Trail and the Pfluger Pedestrian Bridge are located within a quarter of a mile from this site. The mobility options in this area are above average. Imagine Austin- The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan identifies this section of South Lamar Boulevard as an Activity Corridor. It is also located along a designated High Capacity Transit Corridor. Activity corridors are the connections that link activity centers and other key destinations to one another and allow people to travel throughout the city and region by bicycle, transit, or automobile. Corridors are characterized by a variety of activities and types of buildings located along the roadway — shopping, restaurants and cafés, parks, schools, single-family houses, apartments, public buildings, houses of worship, mixed-use buildings, and offices. Along many corridors, there will be both large and small redevelopment sites. To improve mobility along an activity corridor, new and redevelopment should reduce per capita car use and increase walking, bicycling, and transit use. Intensity of land use should correspond to the availability of quality transit, public space, and walkable destinations. Site design should use building arrangement and open space to reduce walking distance to transit and destinations, achieve safety and comfort, and draw people outdoors. The following Imagine Austin policies are also applicable to this case: • compact and connected city in line with the growth concept map. • are connected by roads and transit that are designed to encourage walking and bicycling, and reduce health care, housing and transportation costs. • LUT P4. Protect neighborhood character by directing growth to areas of change that includes designated redevelopment areas, corridors and infill sites. Recognize that different neighborhoods have different characteristics and new and infill development should be sensitive to the predominant character of these communities. • and retail land uses in proximity to each other to maximize walking, bicycling, and transit opportunities. Analysis- The proposed PUD mixed use project appears to contribute towards making this area a more complete community by adding a dense mixed use project consisting mostly of office uses, situated within a quarter of a mile of variety of commercial, civic, and recreational uses, which offers a variety of mobility options (public transit, public sidewalks, and multi-use trails) to people visiting this area along a designated Activity Corridor. The developer also stated in the case file that the first floor of this project will consist of pedestrian oriented uses as defined by Section 25-3-691c of the Land Development Code. Based on this proposed PUD mixed use project being located along an Activity Corridor, which supports dense, connected and pedestrian oriented development, this proposed PUD mixed use project appears to support the policies of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan.

U1: Comment cleared; however, staff has not determined yet if this is considered superior. UD8: Please coordinate with corridor office. Please coordinate with CapMetro. Traffic impact mitigation and trip demand reduction may also be required. U0: Response noted. U1: Comment cleared. UD9: Cleared. UD10: Office/admin uses are not pedestrian oriented. If a limited amount of co-working space is provided – outdoor seating should be provided. Sidewalk cafes and seating should be used to create an active urban environment. U0: Describe or illustrate how you are creating and active urban environment. U1: Comment cleared; however, staff has not determined yet if this is considered superior. TIER 2: UD11: Building Design: The building design should exceed the minimum points required by the Building Design Options of Section 3.3.2 of Chapter 25-2, Subchapter E. The design of the building should incorporate the immediate streetscape character, particularly consistency of skyline and the need for punctuation and accent; the relationship of height to frontage width and building depth. (From Subchapter E and Plaza Saltillo TOD, 5.6.2) Along the principal street, building facades greater than 100 feet in length shall: 1. Include at least one vertical change in plane with a depth of at least 24 inches. The distance from the inside edge of a building projection to the nearest inside edge of an adjacent projection shall not be less than 20 feet and not greater than 100 feet. (From Subchapter E) Changes of color, texture, or material, either horizontally or vertically, at intervals of not less than 20 feet and not more than 100 feet. A repeating pattern of wall recesses and projections, such as bays, offsets, reveals or projecting ribs, that has a relieve of a least 24”. (From Plaza Saltillo TOD, 5.4.3) The façade should include at least 40 percent of the wall area along the principal street that is between two and ten feet above grade shall consist of glazing. The second floor façade along the principal street must provide a minimum of 25 percent glazing between the finished second story floor and the finished third story floor or building eave. At least one-half of the total area of all glazing on ground-floor facades that face the principal street shall have a Visible Transmittance (VT) of 0.6 or higher. Any façade that is built up to an interior mid-block property line is not required to have glazing on that façade if not prohibitions and no contractual or legal impediments exist that would prevent a building being constructed on the adjacent property up to the wall of the façade. U0: The façade design should exceed the Waterfront Overlay requirements and incorporate the standards described in Section 3.3.2 of Chapter 25-2 Subchapter E and or TOD Active Edge Standards (as described above). U1: Comment cleared; however, staff has not determined yet if this is considered superior. UD 1: Administrative and business offices are not a pedestrian oriented use (25-2-691(C)). Specify the proposed amount of ground floor office/co-working space. Is any outdoor space proposed for the co-working land use (recommended)? U0: Approximately, what percent of the ground floor will be used as co-working space? How much of the street facing façade will be co-working space? How will the proposed supplemental zone activate the streetscape? U1: Open space comment cleared. B-0855 of 89C814-2018.0121 6 U2: Thank you. Please also provide a minimum percent of active uses – Please see Zoning / Case Manager comment ZN 13. UD 2: A flat rooftop would be appropriate in this area (25-2-721). U0: A flat roof to accommodate the planting and rooftop deck is appropriate. The rest of the roof should comply with the waterfront overlay. Please see PARD comment PR1. U1: Provide a conceptual elevation to show how the design will meet the intent of the code. U2: Please describe how the roof will be accessible people other than the building tenants. Please add a note about the distinct roof to the notes. UD5: Demonstrate need for additional height for the elevator on the roof (25-2-531). Elevator structures are typically not that tall. U0: Attached drawings do not show elevator over run. Please provide. U1: Comment cleared. UPDATE #3 Approved as long as the conditions of the comments are met. Environmental Review - Jonathan Garner 512-974-1665 1. FYI: The site is located in the Lady Bird Lake (Town Lake) and West Bouldin Creek Watersheds of the Colorado River Basin, which are classified as Urban Watersheds by Chapter 25-8 of the City's Land Development Code. The site is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone, however the northern portion of the site is located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Verification Zone, which subjects the property to the Void and Water Flow Mitigation Rule (COA ECM 1.12.0 and COA Item No. 658S of the SSM). 2. FYI: According to floodplain maps there is no floodplain within or adjacent to the project location. 3. Standard landscaping is proposed to exceed the standard requirements in LDC 25-2 by using only native tree species selected from Appendix F of the ECM and all required tree plantings shall use Central Texas native seed stock. [Note: See Heritage Tree review comments for additional comments.] Additionally, 100% of all non-turf plant materials shall be selected from the ECM Appendix N or the Grow Green Native and Adapted Landscape Plants Guide, and will be irrigated by either storm water runoff conveyed to rain gardens or by auxiliary water sources (e.g., air conditioner condensate, rainwater harvesting). UPDATE #1: Cleared. 4. FYI: A few trees will likely be impacted with a proposed development associated with this zoning case. Please be aware that an approved zoning status does not eliminate a proposed development’s requirements to meet the intent of the tree ordinances. If further explanation or specificity is needed, please contact the City Arborist at 512-974-1876. At this time, site specific information is unavailable regarding other vegetation, areas of steep slope, or other environmental features such as bluffs, springs, canyon rimrock, caves, sinkholes, and wetlands. 5. FYI: This site is required to provide on-site water quality controls (or payment in lieu of) for all development and/or redevelopment when 8,000 s.f. cumulative is exceeded, and on site control for the two-year storm. Additionally, because the site is divided by two watersheds, the applicant is advised that diversion of stormwater from one watershed to another is limited to 20% of the site based on gross site area or less than 1 acre, whichever is smaller so long as the existing drainage patterns are maintained to the extent feasible. EV Officer - Chris Herrington & Atha Phillips - 512-974-2132 B-0856 of 89C814-2018.0121 7 UPDATE # 0: This project is located at 218 SLAMAR BLVD SB and is within the Town Lake and West Bouldin Creek watershed(s), which are classified as Urban Watersheds. This project located within the Edwards Aquifer Contributing Zone. 1. The 18” RCP crossing Lamar, which is undersized per the existing StormCAD model, could be increased to a 24” RCP (based on needed future improvements) if runoff from the site is diverted to this system. Consider replacing the pipe a superiority item. 2. Could the site provide detention to greenfield conditions, which would reduce runoff draining to the undersized system. 3. Is the site proposing cisterns within the building footprint? Provide any information on how rainwater harvesting or other non-potable water sources including AC condensate will be captured and reused on site as a superiority item. 4. Provide information on renewable energy generation on site and/or planned green building certifications as a superiority item. 5. Include distribution for Drainage/Water Quality Review if additional improvements /superiority items are added with Update #1. UPDATE #1 EO 1-EO 4 Cleared. EO 5 As part of the participation in RSMP, WPD wants the drainage from the entire site carried in a new storm drain to either the system being improved by 211 (Option 1 or extending the system to outfall directly to LBL (Option 2). This would reduce flow to the flooding problem area at the intersection of Barton Springs and South Lamar, reduce the flow that must be handled be the private system through the Zach Theater property (especially important given the implications of Atlas 14), and reduce the amount of water in Lamar Boulevard. Please add language to the PUD that describes this requirement, add map provided if necessary. (Attached to report) UPDATE #2 EO 1-EO 4 Cleared. EO 5 Please add agreed upon note for detention and water quality as Note #38 on Sheet 2-PUD Notes sheet. UPDATE #3 EO 1-EO 4 Cleared. EO 5 Please add agreed upon note for detention and water quality as Note #38 on Sheet 2- PUD Notes sheet. 1. Since the sidewalks are shown draining to Lamar with no proposed water quality, is this PUD amendment seeking a waiver from 25-8-211? When we talked on the phone it seemed that you were just suggesting that this condition would only apply to a driveway curb cut. 2. Are there raingardens in these areas that this water could be diverted to? 3. PUD note #7 says that the PUD will meet or exceed current code in regard to water quality, will you be amending this note? Staff will not support any amendment that proposes changes to water quality that do not meet current code. Heritage Tree Review - Jim Dymkowski - 512-974-2772 . B-0857 of 89C814-2018.0121 8 HT 1: Thank you, for providing a tree survey for the Heritage tree to the north of the PUD between the northern offsite driveway and the Topher Theater. Some of the information requested in the previous comments for the development assessment have not been provided with this submittal. Please show this tree’s current growing area and surrounding hardscape. Please also provide a canopy survey for the tree and include information about how much canopy the PUD would affect if the building setback lines are modified to 0 feet off the property line as proposed by the PUD. UPDATE 1: Thank you for the canopy survey. This original request came in two parts for evaluation. You have provided a canopy survey on paper without including the information as to how much canopy the PUD would affect if the building setback lines are modified to 0 feet off the property line as proposed by the PUD. For this, the services of a third party arborist would be required. Also, the current survey does not appear to take in all of the hardscape surrounding the open area of this tree for evaluation. Comment pending. UPDATE 2: Thank you for the additional information. Staff agrees that it is close but does not appear that the building would greatly affect the canopy of this tree. What the exhibit does not show is the limit of the underground parking garage and potential disturbance that its construction proposes that could affect the tree’s canopy. Also, the initial comment requested the information based on the potential canopy the PUD would affect if the building setback lines are modified to 0 feet off the property line as proposed by the PUD. Comment still pending. UPDATE 3: Staff has discussed in email and offline that this information be reviewed and provided by a certified arborist. Simply surveying the canopy up to the property line and not having an arborist assess the potential cuts at that location does not confirm what may be the overall required pruning, if the pruning were to need to go all the way back to the main trunk of the tree to be done correctly. Please have this assessment done by a certified arborist and respond based on the potential impacts if building setback lines are modified to 0 feet off the property line as proposed by the PUD. Comment still pending. HT 2: UPDATE 3: Comment cleared. AE Green Building Review – Heidi Kasper 512-482-5407 AE Green Building accepts the proposed 3-Star Green Building requirement for the PUD. Site Plan Review - Randall Rouda 512-974-3338 SP 1. Materials such as EIFS are not durable and should be used for trim/detail and for upper floors only. Please consider amending the modification of the materials list. U0: No longer requested. U1: Comment cleared. SP 2. Please clarify if reflective restrictions will remain. Materials that are highly reflective are not permitted in the Waterfront Overlays. U0: Waterfront development guidelines to apply within the proposed PUD. U1: Comment cleared. SP 3. “Amenitized” will need to be further clarified. As written, the variance request would permit a flat roof, which is not a distinctive building top. Please add details about what amenities would be considered on the roof, and their likely dimensions, especially height. U0: The PUD should establish minimum standards for the proposed amenities, with a B-0858 of 89C814-2018.0121 9 specific focus on the items visible from waterfront and parkland areas. The specific proposal (pedestal rooftop deck with seating, planters and a shade pergola) may be appropriate but should be codified in a manner similar to the existing regulations which identify specific types of building tops that qualify as distinctive.) (Eg. “Distinctive building tops may include planters with vegetation clearly visible from waterfront and parkland areas and shade structures which are architecturally integrated into the building design while demonstrating the rooftop use and/or providing architectural interest equivalent to other approved options.) U1: Comment cleared. Site Development Regulations Note 8 is sufficient to address this concern. SP 4. Please note, South Lamar is a Core Transit Corridor. Sidewalk design will need to reflect those standards. U0: Sidewalk will continue to meet CTC detains standards. U1: Comment cleared per Transportation Reviewer comments and PUD Note 29. General Comments SP 5. Site plans will be required for any new development other than single-family or duplex residential. U1: Informational comment cleared. Waterfront Overlay SP 6. The site is located within the Butler Shores subdistrict of the Waterfront Overlay Zone. Except as modified by the PUD, the requirements, use limitations, design requirements and review processes established by Land Use Code sections 25-2-691 et. seq. will apply.

PARD/Planning & Design Review - Thomas Rowlinson 512- 974-9372 B-0864 of 89C814-2018.0121 15 PR1: PARD will need more information such as building elevations/renderings to approve modifications to 25-2-531 (C) (1) (additional height) and 25-2-721 ( E ) (2) (flat roof top as distinctive building top). (U0) It is unclear how the proposed features will be visible and distinctive from the ground level and parkland at 96 feet on a flat rooftop. (U1) Comment remains. The images included do not indicate how the design will meet the intent of the code. Please see Urban Design comments UD2 and Site Plan comments SP4. (U2): Please codify the amenitized rooftop in such a way that it still requires some architectural elements to preserve the intent of the distinctive rooftop requirement. While the amenities and planting would be attractive to the deck users, it does not meet the full intent of the code due to height/visibility issues. PARD and Urban Design agree that it is possible to incorporate some of the elements given as examples in 25-2-721(E)(2). The language may read as: “’Amenitized rooftop’ shall be considered as a distinctive building top in the Waterfront Overlay. To qualify as an amenitized rooftop the roof shall contain an active area for seating, lounge and gathering with a shade structure which is architectural integrated with the building and covers a portion of the seating area. The roof shall be framed with planters containing native plants visible from City of Austin parkland and incorporate distinctive elements such as cornices, steeped parapets, hipped roofs, mansard roofs, stepped terraces, and domes.” U3: Cleared. Modification no longer sought. PR2: FYI, 25-2-721 (E) (1) will be enforced. Please provide information that ensures that this provision will be met. (1) Exterior mirrored glass and glare producing glass surface building materials are prohibited. (U0) Comment cleared. “Exterior mirror glass with a 30% Ext. Reflectance or greater, and glare producing glass surface building materials will be prohibited.” (U1) Per 25-1-21 (67), “mirrored glass means glass with a reflectivity index greater than 20 percent.” Please update note to 20% reflectance. (U2): PARD cannot accept the request to modify the definition of exterior mirrored glass. While the examples given in the replies to Update 1 may use the same glass as proposed, those projects are outside of the Waterfront Overlay. As such, they were not subject to the restriction on exterior mirrored glass. Also, it may be possible to attain a 3-Star AEGB rating without modifying the reflectance. It is recommended that the architects and engineers meet with AE to discuss the scoring for AEGB ratings. U3: Cleared. Modification no longer sought. PR3: PARD will not likely approve the proposed modification to 25-2-733 (E) (3). Staff is willing to meet to discuss whether other building materials can be used. (U0) Comment cleared. PR4: Other proposed modifications to the Waterfront Overlay do not appear to affect Butler Shores. (25-2- 691 (C) and 2.7.3.D.4, as long as the roof amenity can be considered a distinctive building top.) (U0) Comment cleared, except for the comment regarding the rooftop. (U1) See PR 1. (U2): Cleared. PR5: Which part of the site will the ground floor publicly accessible plaza be located? (U0) In order to comply with Subchapter E, the location of the publicly accessible, ground floor plaza should “be located to adjoin, extend, and enlarge” existing, City of Austin parkland, per B-0865 of 89C814-2018.0121 16 Article 2, § 2.7.3.B. Please contact thomas.rowlinson@austintexas.gov to set up a meeting with PARD planning staff for discussion of the ground floor plaza’s access and location. (U1) Comment cleared. Location of plaza is appropriate from ground floor layout. PR6 (U0): Modification to § 25-2-721(E)(4) is not superior. (U1): Please clarify that modification is no longer being requested. (U2): Cleared. PR7 (U0): FYI development will require its own fire lanes. (U1) Cleared. PR8 (U2): For Note 15, please specify that the rooftop deck access rules and regulations will be determined through a restrictive covenant jointly agreed upon by the owner and the City prior to site plan approval. U3: Cleared. PR9 (U2): For Note 26, please specify that the plaza will be publicly accessible through an easement prior to site plan approval. U3: Cleared.

The property boundaries, the building setbacks, etc. are still unclear. There is one heavy line type that is used for property lines that obscures everything else. Use a different line type, gray scale, or something to make it all clearer. You have that line type listed as Zoning on the legend but it’s also used on the surrounding lots. Cleared. Cleared. Cleared. Cleared. Cleared. Cleared. Cleared. ZN 2. Delete text “PUD Approval Block.” ZN 3. Change existing use from “Schlotsky’s” to “Restaurant-Limited.” ZN 4. Label Jessie Street. ZN 5. Label easements and provide dimensions. Clarify if the 25’ building line is an actual easement or if it is a building line from zoning. If it is an easement, it will need to be vacated. Update #2: Cleared. ZN 6. Show all existing and proposed easements. ZN 7. Clarify that the requested building setback is 0 feet—it’s not just the Zoning Boundary. ZN 8. Show Aquifer zone boundary (see Environmental Review comments). ZN 9. See Urban Design comments regarding elevator structure height. The height should be based on a typical elevator structure, not a percentage of building height. Urban Design reviewer will evaluate the elevator structure. No comments from Zoning/Case Manager. ZN 10. Correct acreage on plan to 1.263 acres. Clarify the site acreage—the tax certificate lists the site as 1.2660 acres. Has ROW been dedicated, or is there some other reason it has changed? Update on plan if necessary. Update # 2: Cleared; use the more recent information (May 21, 2018 survey). ZN 11. Show all adjacent driveways. Cleared. ZN 12. Dimension all existing and proposed driveways. Revise the labels on the existing driveways; do not describe as “to remain” or “to close.” Just label as “existing driveway.” ATD/DSD will provide comments about proposed driveway locations. Update#2: Zoning staff will defer to ATD/DSD regarding driveway issues. ZN 13. Per Code, “Co-working space” is not considered a pedestrian oriented use. It is considered administrative/business office. Staff does not support the proposed 60% office use with the remainder to be occupied by lobby, building support services, and pedestrian oriented uses. As proposed, the ground floor could be mostly used for office, lobby, and building services, B-0868 of 89C814-2018.0121 19 with only a small remainder used for pedestrian oriented uses. Specify a minimum percentage of the ground floor that will dedicated for pedestrian oriented uses. Update #1: Delete Note #7 under Site Development Regulations. Co-working space is considered Administrative/Business Office; there is no need to provide a distinction. Replace with a note stating that Administrative/Business Office land use is permitted on the ground floor. The other elements of Note #7 are addressed by Note #37 under PUD Notes. Regarding Note #37: Staff does not support the land use percentages proposed by the Applicant. Modify from 40% to 50% pedestrian oriented uses. Update #2: Cleared. ZN 14. FYI: Additional comments will be generated. Additional superiority items will be required beyond what has been proposed so far. Update #2: This comment will remain until all reviewers clear their comments. ZN 15. Provide an item-by-item list/chart of each requested code variance from code-- specifically which section is being modified/waived. If modified, describe how (for ex. “reduce setback from 20 feet to 5 feet”). Also provide updated table of which items you are proposing are superior next to each superiority criteria.
