ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2020-0022 5010 & 5102 Heflin Lane ZONING FROM: SF-4A-NP TO: SF-6-NP ADDRESS: 5010 and 5102 Heflin Lane SITE AREA: 5.03 Acres PROPERTY OWNERS/APPLICANT: Heflin Phase 1 LLC (Lynn Yuan) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request of SF-6-NP. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 3. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 26, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 30, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: AGENT: Thrower Design (Ron Thower) 1 of 9B-02C14-2020-0022 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the north side of Heflin Lane between East Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard (MLK) and Webberville Road. The property is comprised of two SF-4A- NP lots and is undeveloped except for a concrete drainage channel. The drainage channel crosses the entire site and contains 100-year floodplain. Other portions of the property are also impeded by floodplain. The property is surrounded by SF-3-NP zoned properties that are developed with single family and duplex residences. A property zoned SF-6-NP is located nearby at the southwest corner of Heflin Lane and Webberville Road, and is developed with high density residential. Approximately one block to the south of the subject property is an area of the neighborhood zoned SF-4A-NP that is developed with small lot single family residences. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Elmsgrove Drive dead-ends into the subject property from the residential area to the north. Austin Transportation Department (ATD) has reviewed Elmsgrove Drive in relation to the proposed rezoning and has determined that an extension of the street is not warranted or required. There are no plans in the AMATP showing connection of the street to Heflin. Staff supports the requested SF-6-NP. The Applicant proposes developing the property with roughly 63 townhouse/condominium units. SF-6-NP is the most restrictive category that would permit that many residential units and allows the units to be developed in a clustered manner. The current zoning, SF-4A-NP permits development of small lot single family residences but requires that each unit be on a separate subdivided lot. Due to the configuration of the subject property and existing floodplain and drainage features, it would be very difficult to design small residential lots on the property. Clustered residential units will allow development around the existing drainage features. Staff has received correspondence in opposition to the rezoning request. Please see Exhibit C- Correspondence. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City Council or Planning Commission. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. The Strategic Housing Blueprint promotes a mix of housing types and densities across the city. 2. The property is impeded by floodplain and a large concrete drainage structure. Development of single family residential lots on the property would be very limited. SF-6 is the most restrictive residential category that allows clustering of units on a single lot. 2 of 9B-02C14-2020-0022 3 EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Site North South East West ZONING SF-3-NP SF-3-NP SF-3-NP, SF-6- NP, SF-4-NP SF-3-NP SF-3-NP LAND USES Undeveloped, drainage feature Single family residential Single family and duplex residential, Townhouse/ condominium residential, Small lot single family residential Single family and duplex residential Single family and duplex residential NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING AREA: East MLK Combined NP Area (MLK-183) SCHOOLS: Norman Elementary School Martin Middle School NE Early College, Sadler Means/Garcia High School TIA: N/A WATERSHED: Fort Branch NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Homeless Neighborhood Association Neighbors United for Progress Del Valle Community Coalition Stonegate Neighborhood Association Friends of Austin Neighborhoods Truman Heights Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation Senate Hills Homeowners’ Association Pecan Springs/Springdale Hills Neighborhood Association East MLK Neighborhood Plan Contact Team AREA CASE HISTORIES: AISD Austin Neighborhood Association Sierra Club Bike Austin Del Valle Community Coalition East Austin Conservancy NUMBER REQUEST COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL MF-6-NP; Staff rec MF-3-NP 5/26/20: To grant neighborhood ppmt to 6/9/2020 7/30/2020: N/A C14-2020-0031.SH MLK & 183 Residential C14-2015-0114 5010 & 5102 Heflin 11/1/2016: Withdrawn N/A EXISTING STREET CHARACTERISTICS: 3 of 9B-02C14-2020-0022 4 OTHER STAFF COMMENTS: ENVIRONMENTAL 1. The site is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is located in the Fort Branch Watershed of the Colorado River Basin, which is classified as an Urban Watershed by Chapter 25-8 of the City's Land Development Code. 2. Zoning district impervious cover limits apply in the Urban Watershed classification. 3. According to floodplain maps there is a floodplain within or adjacent to the project location. Based upon the location of the floodplain, offsite drainage should be calculated to determine whether a Critical Water Quality Zone exists within the project location. 4. Standard landscaping and tree protection will be required in accordance with LDC 25-2 and 25-8 for all development and/or redevelopment. 5. At this time, site specific information is unavailable regarding vegetation, areas of steep slope, or other environmental features such as bluffs, springs, canyon rimrock, caves, sinkholes, and wetlands. 6. 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. SITE PLAN SP 1. Site plans will be required for any new development other than single-family or duplex residential. SP 2. Any development which occurs in an SF-6 or less restrictive zoning district which is located 540 feet or less from property in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district will be subject to compatibility development regulations. SP 3. Any new development is subject to Subchapter E. Design Standards and Mixed Use. Additional comments will be made when the site plan is submitted. SP 4. FYI: Additional design regulations will be enforced at the time a site plan is submitted. SP 5. The site is subject to compatibility standards. Along the northeast, northwest, and southwest SF-3-NP property lines, the following standards apply:  No structure may be built within 25 feet of the property line.  No structure in excess of two stories or 30 feet in height may be constructed within 50 feet of the property line.  No structure in excess of three stories or 40 feet in height may be constructed within 100 feet of the property line.  No parking or driveways are allowed within 25 feet of the property line.  A landscape area at least 25 feet wide is required along the property line. In addition, a fence, berm, or dense vegetation must be provided to screen adjoining properties from views of parking, mechanical equipment, storage, and refuse collection.  For a structure more than 100 feet but not more than 300 feet from property zoned SF-5 or more restrictive, height limitation is 40 feet plus one foot for each 10 feet of distance in excess of 100 feet from the property zoned SF-5 or more restrictive. (use 540’ radius)  An intensive recreational use, including a swimming pool, tennis court, ball court, or playground, may not be constructed 50 feet or less property in an SF-5 or more 4 of 9B-02C14-2020-0022 5 restrictive zoning district.  A landscape area at least 25 feet in width is required along the property line if the tract is zoned LR, GO, GR, L, CS, CS-1, or CH. SP 6. The site is subject to 25-2 Subchapter F. Residential Design and Compatibility Standards. TRANSPORTATION TR 1. The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) adopted 04/11/2019, calls for 70 feet of right-of-way for Heflin Lane. It is recommended that 35 feet of right-of-way from the existing centerline should be dedicated for Heflin Lane at the time of subdivision or site plan. The TIA determination will be deferred to site plan submittal when land uses and intensities have been finalized. The adjacent street characteristics are described in the table below: WATER UTILITY 1. The landowner intends to serve the site with City of Austin water and wastewater utilities. The landowner, at own expense, will be responsible for providing any water and wastewater utility improvements, offsite main extensions, utility relocations and or abandonments required by the land use. Water and wastewater utility plans must be reviewed and approved by the Austin Water Utility for compliance with City criteria. All water and wastewater construction must be inspected by the City of Austin. The landowner must pay the City inspection fee with the utility construction. The landowner must pay the tap and impact fee once the landowner makes an application for a City of Austin water and wastewater utility tap permit. INDEX OF EXHIBITS TO FOLLOW A: Zoning Map B.

I really appreciate you getting back to me so quickly considering the circumstances. Crazy times we live in! I own the property at 5104 Heflin Unit 1 and I was hoping to get some more information about the zone change. I am particularly interested in how in effects drainage since we are technically in a flood zone and what areas are effected. It looks like they have done a lot of work on the property connected to it and behind my home which isn't technically 5010 Heflin. I think someone mentioned a possible new street as well? I understand the meeting isn't until end of April from a scheduling perspective, but any details you could provide would be appreciated. I hope you are staying safe! Thanks for your help!

This developer plans to put a road through Elmsgrove Drive that will feed into Woodmoor and Stone Gate Dr. At peak rush hours, the cars parked along those streets already limit traffic to one-way at a time. Entering or exiting the Stone Gate neighborhood can be nightmarish. Turning north from Heflin Lane onto Webberville is next to impossible. Traffic headed south on Webberville builds up speed (much greater than the posted limit), and cars parked illegally in the bike lane along Webberville obstruct sightlines. Exiting Stone Gate or Woodmoor is essentially the same, except it now takes an additional 5-10 minutes to wait for queue on Woodmoor or Stone Gate. The increased density of projects at MLK & Tannehill and directly across the street at the T-intersection of Webberville and Stone Gate will make it impossible to navigate traffic. Or cross the street to walk in those lovely foot paths that every developer promises. Of perhaps greater concern is that the increased impervious cover will exacerbate flooding in this already flood-prone neighborhood. Each one of these three projects, if taken on their own merits (Heflin Lane, MLK & Tannehill, and SF-3- NP at Webberville and Stone Gate) are reasonable projects. Together, they will seriously impact the serenity and functionality of this quiet and collegial neighborhood. Please seriously consider keeping the current SF-4A-NP zoning intact.
