ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0048– 1509 Enfield DISTRICT: 9 ZONING FROM: MF-3-NP TO: NO-MU-NP ADDRESS: 1509 Enfield Road SITE AREA: 0.24 acres (10,461.95 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Alan W. & Margaret H. Berryhill AGENT: ATX Permit & Consulting LLC (Lila Nelson) CASE MANAGER Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov ) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff Recommendation is to grant neighborhood office – mixed use – neighborhood plan (NO-MU-NP). For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 23, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: Planned to be scheduled for July 30, 2020 ISSUES Neighbors wrote more than a dozen emails (see attached) opposing the zoning change for a variety of reasons, including: not supported by the Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan, traffic congestion on Enfield, anticipated overflow parking problems, drainage issues and their experience with the existing real estate office (two doors down from the subject property) that has neighborhood office (NO) zoning. 1 of 44B-13 C14-2020-0048 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: Request The Applicant requests rezoning the lot at 1509 Enfield Road from multifamily residence - (medium density) – neighborhood plan (MF-3-NP) to neighborhood office – mixed use – neighborhood plan (NO-MU-NP) combining district. Staff recommended adding mixed use (MU) to provide for and encourage development that contains a compatible mix of residential and office uses and the applicant agreed. Location The subject site is in the middle of the Enfield Subdivision, including the Clarksville area which is on the National Register of Historic Places, northwest of downtown Austin. 1509 Enfield Road is a 0.24 acre (10,461.95 sq. ft.) lot located midblock on the south side of Enfield Road between West Lynn Street to the west and Marshall Lane to the east. The site is accessed from Enfield Road. The alley is vacated. 2000 Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan/1979 Austin Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan The subject site is in the “Residential Core” of Old West Austin as mapped in the Neighborhood Plan adopted June 22, 2000 as an amendment to the 1979 “Austin Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan.” Enfield Road is the north limit of the Residential Core area that continues south to the commercial zoning north of West 6th Street. The western limit is Mopac and eastern limit is generally the edge of the commercial zone west of Lamar Blvd. The Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan states: within its residential core, and is in danger of being eroded from its edges.” (p 11) “This neighborhood has been under great pressure to accommodate commercial uses “Any proposed rezonings should be consistent with the land use and zoning proposals of this plan.” “Residential Core…No zoning changes to a more permissive zoning category should be permitted. Preservation of existing older residential structures is strongly encouraged.” (p11-12) The applicant’s request is to change the zoning from multifamily residential to (the more permissive) neighborhood office with residential uses permitted by adding mixed-use zoning. The applicant plans to renovate the existing residential structure. There is no Future Land use Map (FLUM) for the Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan. There is no requirement for the applicant to file a Neighborhood Plan Amendment (NPA) application to amend the plan. Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan Austin adopted a new Comprehensive Plan, Imagine Austin (IA) in 2012. Much of the focus of the current plan is on compact, connected and complete neighborhoods. The Growth Concept maps and statements contemplate Austin’s development through the year 2039. It promotes infill and redevelopment for growth as opposed to developing new greenfield areas. IA focuses growth 2 of 44B-13 C14-2020-0048 3 along activity corridors and in activity centers especially those that are accessible by walking, bicycling and transit as well as by car. Although Enfield Road is not a designated activity corridor or center, it is a minor arterial, with sidewalks and bike routes that connects to North Lamar Blvd which is an activity corridor. Enfield merges into West 15th Street just east of Windsor Road and connects to Downtown which is an activity center. 15th Street connects directly to the Texas Capitol, Waterloo Neighborhood Park and the Dell Medical near where it terminates at Interstate Highway 35. The subject site is about four tenths of a mile from North Lamar. The subject property is about a ten minute bike ride from the State Capitol or the UT campus. Land Development Code: Mixed Use Article 4. Prior to application submittal, Staff recommended that the Applicant add mixed use to the zoning request in order to provide the opportunity for residential uses to occur. The preamble of Article 4 in the Austin Land Development Code explains the rationale for mixed use at the subject location. This Article 4 is intended to provide for and encourage development and redevelopment that contains a compatible mix of residential, commercial and institutional uses within proximity to each other, rather than separating uses. The mixed use provisions define the uses of land and the siting and character of the improvements and structures allowed on the land in a manner that encourages a balanced and sustainable mix of uses. They promote an efficient pedestrian-access network that connects the nonresidential and residential uses and transit facilities. Redevelopment of underutilized parcels and infill development of vacant parcels should foster pedestrian-oriented residential and mixed use development. The OWANA neighborhood expressly supports mixed uses to combine residences with office and retail within areas that already have commercial zoning. Goal 1 – Encourage Mixed Uses Obj. 1.1 Allow mixed uses in selected areas, as follows: 1. between the railroad tracks and 5th Street; 2. the area from the north side of 6th street to centerline of 5th street; 3. the area on the west side of Lamar Blvd. between 3rd and Enfield; 4. area on West Lynn from 10th to 13th. (p 5) The land along Enfield Road is not one of the designated areas for mixed use in the Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan because only land that was already commercially zoned twenty years ago, when the plan was written, was considered eligible. Enfield Road is a bus, bike and pedestrian route in and out of downtown Austin, designated an Urban Road, Minor Arterial and Level 3 road. When the OWANA Plan was adopted in 2000, Austin’s population in 2000 was 656,562. As of June, 2020 Austin’s population is an estimated 1 million people. (Austin Demographer, Ryan Robinson). Austin is growing and changing. 3 of 44B-13 C14-2020-0048 4 Adjacent Conditional Overlays The lot to the east (1503 Enfield Rd) currently has MF-3-CO-NP zoning after rezoning from neighborhood office – conditional overlay – neighborhood plan (NO-CO-NP) zoning in 2010. That neighboring property does not have any structures, and is partially paved and used for parking and storage of real estate signs. The following conditions are listed in Part 3 of Ordinance 20101104-038: A. All uses on the site must generate less than 2000 daily trips cumulatively; B. The maximum number of residential units on the property is three units. The property at 1501 Enfield Rd, two doors east of the subject property, is zoned neighborhood office – conditional overlay – neighborhood plan (NO-CO-NP) and currently used as a real estate office. There are three conditions in the overlay: 1. Limits vehicle trips to under 2000 per day; 2. Sets Floor to Area Ratio at 0.26:1.0; 3. Prohibits 11 land uses otherwise permitted in the NO zoning district. The prohibited uses are: Art workshop Counseling services Daycare services (general) Private primary educational facilities Public secondary educational facilities Residential treatment Safety services Art gallery Daycare services (commercial) Daycare services (limited) Public primary educational facilities Zoning Enfield Road has MF-3 zoning on both sides for most of the length between Mopac and Parkway which is about three fourths of a mile. There are SF-3 zoned blocks (one on the south, 2 on the north) next to Mopac and a few other SF-3 properties at West 15th Street and at Parkway. The only Neighborhood Office zoned property is the one at 1501 Enfield, two doors east of the subject lot. There is a lone SF-2 zoned property on the north side of Enfield at Marshall Lane. Neighborhood Comments Emails received by staff oppose the rezoning because, they say, it will change the residential character of the neighborhood; because permitting one business in will cause others to come; because trucks and construction equipment stored at the site will be unattractive; and because a company that does business all over Austin is not a neighborhood serving office. Applicant’s Proposed Use The applicant requested the NO-MU-NP zoning so they could operate their family owned homebuilding and remodeling company from the location. Their letter indicates senior management, planning and design staff would work from this location. The location is attractive because they have employees who live in the area and their business focus in on central Austin. Their agent said that they would not have outdoor storage of construction material or equipment at this location. 4 of 44B-13 C14-2020-0048 5 Land uses permitted in the NO zoning district (25-2-491): Residential Uses: Bed and Breakfast (Group 1 and 2) Commercial Uses: Administrative and Business Offices, Art Gallery, Art Workshop, Professional Office, Software Development. Agricultural Uses: Community Garden, Urban Farm. Civic Uses: Communication Service Facilities, Counseling Services, Family Home, Group Home (Class I) (General and Limited); Group Home (Class II), Guidance Services, Local Utility Services, Private Primary Educational Facilities, Public Primary Educational Facilities, Public Secondary Educational Facilities, Religious Assembly, Safety Services. Land uses permitted in the proposed (NO-MU) zoning district (25-2, Subchapter E: Design Standards and Mixed Use. 4.2.1 C.1): Commercial Uses that are permitted in the base district; (see above) Civic uses that are permitted in the base district; (see above) Residential Uses: Townhouse residential, multifamily residential, single-family attached residential, small lot single-family residential, two-family residential, condominium residential, duplex residential, group residential, group home (class I) (limited), group home (class I) (general), and group home (class II), short term rental. The District Standards in the same Land Development Code section cross reference specific standards for the residential uses. For example, D. 6. Applies to a multifamily residential use, a townhouse residential use, a condominium residential use, a group residential use, or a group home use. a. In a mixed use (MU) combining district that is combined with a neighborhood office (NO) base district, the minimum site area for each dwelling unit is: i. 3,600 square feet, for an efficiency dwelling unit; ii. 4,000 square feet, for a one bedroom dwelling unit; and iii. 4,400 square feet, for a dwelling unit with two or more bedrooms. For the subject 10,461 square foot site, there could be (10,461 / 4,400) = 2 dwelling units with 2 or more bedrooms. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. NO – Neighborhood Office district is intended for offices predominately serving neighborhood or community needs, which may be located within or adjacent to residential neighborhoods. 5 of 44B-13 C14-2020-0048 6 Offices in the NO district would typically locate on collector streets with a minimum of 40 feet of pavement width, and would not unduly affect traffic in the area. The NO district is designed to accommodate small, single-use offices and to encourage and preserve compatibility with existing neighborhoods through renovation of existing structures. MU – Mixed Use combining district is intended for combination with selected base districts, in order to permit any combination of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. NP – Neighborhood Plan district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. The applicant proposes to use NO-MU zoning as a single-use office for Nalle’s Custom Homes. The office is for their senior management, planning and design departments and administrative staff. The company’s business is focused on central Austin. Their letter explains why they chose the location: their employees live in the area, they build and remodel homes in the area. The applicant intends to renovate the existing structure for their office use. Enfield Road is a four-lane, minor arterial, listed in Austin Strategic Mobility Plan as Street level 3. There is 40 feet of pavement. The location is about midway between North Lamar Boulevard and the MoPac highway. There are sidewalks along both sides of Enfield and it is a designated bike route though there are no dedicated bike lanes. Capitol Metro Bus service is available on Enfield. Adding mixed use (MU) to the zoning string allows for residential uses on the property. The Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan, an amendment to Austin’s Comprehensive Plan, supported adding mixed use to land that was commercially zoned within their Planning Area in the year 2000. 2. Zoning should not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner; Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. Two similar properties on the same block have received the neighborhood office (NO) rezoning. Those properties are next door to the east (1503) and the property east of that (1501) on the southwest corner of Enfield Road and Marshall Lane. 1503 was rezoned back to multi-family medium density residential – conditional overlay – neighborhood plan (MF-3-CO-NP) combining district in 2010 when the corner lot was rezoned to neighborhood office – conditional overlay – neighborhood plan (NO-CO-NP).

Legal Description: Lot 45, Outlot 7, Division Z, Enfield B OTHER STAFF COMMENTS: Comprehensive Planning This zoning case is located on the south side of Enfield Road, on a property that is approximately 0.24 acres in size and contains a two-story house. The property is not situated along an Activity Corridor or near an Activity Center and is located within the boundaries of the Old West Austin Neighborhood Planning Area. Surrounding land uses include single family housing to the north; to the south is single family housing and a pocket park; to the east is a real estate office and to the west is mix of single family and multi-family housing. The proposed use is an office. 9 of 44B-13 C14-2020-0048 10 Connectivity Enfield Road is a heavily travelled residential collector and arterial road, which has public sidewalks located on both sides of the street. A Cap Metro Transit stop is located 1,500 feet to the west. There are no bike lanes in this area. The mobility and connectivity options in this area are fair. Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan The Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan (OWANP) is one of the few neighborhood plans that does not have a Future Land Use Map. The following Text, Goals and Objectives found on pages 23 through 30 of the OWANP are applicable to this case. LAND USE / ZONING: (pg. 23) The neighborhood planning team has identified "neighborhood-friendly" commercial areas where office, retail, and residences can be mixed vertically and horizontally. These areas include West 5th and 6th Streets between Lamar and Mopac, Lamar Boulevard between Town Lake and Enfield, and those properties that already have commercial zoning on the central commercial service corridor on West Lynn from 10th to 13th Streets ("Downtown Clarksville"). For decades, the Old West Austin Neighborhood has resisted intense pressure to change existing residential properties to commercial use. Despite these efforts, a significant loss in residential use has occurred. The goal of the Neighborhood Planning Team is to protect existing residential property and encourage the development of new residential property by supporting mixed-use development in certain areas of the neighborhood. The development of commercial properties under the banner of mixed use with token residential space, such as penthouses, is not supported by the plan. A goal of the neighborhood plan is at least three square feet of residential space for every new square foot of commercial space. Neighborhood-oriented commercial uses with modest parking requirements are preferred. The planning team has identified types of uses that should be: permitted, not permitted, and conditionally permitted in CS, CS-1 and LI zoning in the neighborhood. Development of buildings with a mix of office and residential can result in complementary parking. Retail can be included in certain areas as parking allows. Neighborhood-oriented commercial uses with modest parking requirements are preferred. Goal 2 - Protect the Character of the Neighborhood (pg. 24) Obj 2.1 – Encourage commercial uses that support the neighborhood. (pg. 24) Obj 2.2 – Protect current pattern of single family uses in neighborhood. (pg. 28) Action 6: If requested by the property owner, allow voluntary zoning rollback on multi-family zoning (on land that currently has single-family uses), by providing a no-cost zoning rollback. The neighborhood has 10 of 44B-13 C14-2020-0048 11 approximately 340 parcels in single-family use with multifamily zoning. This zoning presents a threat to continued single family uses. (City Action Item: DRID). Any proposed rezonings should be consistent with the land use and zoning proposals of this plan. The boundaries of the districts described below are illustrated in the map "Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan – Neighborhood Districts." (pg. 30) • Throughout the neighborhood, no zoning changes on commercially zoned lots to more permissive zoning should be allowed, except as noted below. Rezoning from any commercial base district to the same base district adding MU shall be supported on W. 6th and W. Lynn if the existing building and character are maintained. Elsewhere, rezoning from any commercial base district to add MU shall be supported subject to other restrictions discussed in the plan. • Residential Core (See the attached Neighborhood District Map, which identifies the Residential Core as the area bounded by Enfield, Newfield, the rear lot line of the first lot on the north side of 6th Street, the rear lot line of the first lot on the west side of Lamar from W. 6th to the alley between 9th and 10lh, then continuing on Baylor from the alley between 9th and 10th, to 12th, from the rear lot line of the first lot on the west side of Lamar from 12th to Parkway, from the rear lot line of the first lot on the west side of Parkway from Lamar to Baylor, along Lamar (facing Pease Park) from Parkway to 15th Street (excluding the first 3 southern-most lots of this section), and finally along 15th Street to Enfield): 1201 and 1203 Baylor Street are excluded from the Residential Core. No zoning changes to a more permissive zoning category should be permitted, with the exception of 1008 Baylor Street and 1111 W. 11th Street due to consideration of conditions that insure compatibility with a residential character of the core. Preservation of existing older residential structures is strongly encouraged. Imagine Austin The following Imagine Austin policy is applicable to this case: • 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. Based on this property being situated along an arterial corridor, which includes a mix of uses including office and multifamily; and supporting policies in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan, the Austin Land Development Code, the proposed project supports the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. 11 of 44B-13 C14-2020-0048 12 Environmental 1. The site is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is located in the Lady Bird Lake Watershed of the Colorado River Basin, which is classified as an Urban Watershed by Chapter 25-8 of the City's Land Development Code. It is in the Desired Development Zone. 2. Zoning district impervious cover limits apply in the Urban Watershed classification. 3. According to floodplain maps there is no floodplain within or adjacent to 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.

The use of this property is to be the central office for Nalle Custom Homes senior management, planning and design departments. Outside visits of home clients will be by appointment only. We are a family owned business and much of our business is focused in the central Austin area. We are not a retail-oriented company and this is not to be a showroom. It will serve as a base office for our project managers and office staff. Some of our employees live in the area as well. Traffic would be very low in and out, with most employees showing up in the morning hours and leaving at 5pm. Some influx in and out during the day, but by no means high traffic. There will be no storage of supplies or equipment at this site and normal Monday through Friday business hours will be kept. The building itself will be updated with new paint, new roof, new windows and new front door, but will maintain the integrity of the existing structure and look of the neighborhood. Please see initial rendering attached. We are highly active in the surrounding areas and understand the importance of keeping the existing charm and characteristics of the neighborhood. It would be our pleasure to restore this building and maintain its current charm. Sincerely, Owen Nalle Nalle Custom Homes 16 of 44B-13 17 of 44B-13 Graham, Mark From: Sent: To: Subject: Ellen Justice Friday, May 08, 2020 3:18 PM Graham, Mark RE: zoning change case 2020-063149ZC 1509 Enfield *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Mr. Graham,     I live in this neighborhood and am opposed to changing the zoning of this property from MF residential to NO‐MU‐ NP.  This rezoning would give other businesses leverage to move into our residential neighborhood, which would ruin its  character.  “Neighborhood Office” could hardly apply in this case since this construction company (Nalle) does business  all over Austin.    Also, it seems likely that there would be large trucks and other construction equipment that could be stored on this site.   Alan Berryhill, the owner of Crossspointe Construction is asking for the zoning change, but it is actually NALLE CONSTRUCTION, a much larger company, that is the pending owner of the property.    " I represent Nalle Home Builders that desires to purchase the property located at 1509 Enfield.

Old West Austin, Clarksville and Old Enfield are historic, residential Austin neighborhoods and, as such, must be preserved and protected. Our capital city has lost much of it’s past and we must be extra vigilant about saving what remains. Enfield Road is a major corridor between downtown and residential Austin. Please don’t allow it to disintegrate into a hodgepodge of commercial activity thus destroying any semblance of it’s rich past. Thank you for your efforts to preserve our historic neighborhoods.

I am writing to express my concerns and objection regarding the intended rezoning change. I believe this property backs up directly to my home. This truly is “not in my backyard”. This Clarksville community is a residential neighborhood made up of houses. Unfortunately, recently another residence was converted to a real estate office, which should not of been allowed and have changed the fabric of the community. In addition, Enfield has become a major road, with traffic issues and excessive speeding. This location is coming around the bend and already dangerous enough without adding more people, more cars, more parking, more lights and a business operation. Also, this property improperly sheet drains onto my property in the rear. We do not want our neighborhood to become like so many Austin areas where commercial crepes in on residential neighborhoods, one building at a time. I respectfully request this request be denied.

One is OWANA’s Neighborhood Plan (NP) has identified the residential neighborhood along Enfield as a boundary of our residential core. OWANA’s NP clearly states that this area is to be protected. The NP clearly states that the properties along its Enfield boundary are in the area defined as the residential core and are to be protected and preserved from rezoning to anything non-residential. “No zoning changes to a more permissive zoning category should be permitted. Preservation of existing older residential structures is strongly encouraged.” Old West Austin NP made allowance for areas that would allow MU to be added to the base districts. These areas are clearly defined and NOT located along Enfield Road.

But a commercial establishment on one of the most over-driven east west thoroughfares in Austin is an absurd suggestion.

I live at 1505 Palma Plaza, one block south of 1509 Enfield Rd. I am extremely concerned about the rezoning from MF-3-NP to NO-MU-NP. I believe that it will create an opening for the commercialization of the Enfield corridor. I value keeping this “Clarksville area” residential and Enfield Rd is a part of that. We have a unique historical identity. I also am concerned about any parking overflow that might occur on Marshall and my street which already often has many cars parked here. I truly would appreciate anything you can do to help us by stopping the rezoning here.

Specifically, I support the proposed change in zoning. Enfield is already a major thoroughfare, and having an office on that street makes a lot of sense. Bringing jobs closer to the core also cuts down on commute times. Finally, I'm sure you'll hear a lot about "neighborhood character," but the truth is that the neighborhood's character has ALWAYS included a good mix of residential and commercial. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can provide any additional information. Thank you!

Case # C14-2020-0048 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Enfield Road bisects one of the most historic and treasured residential neighborhoods of Austin and needs and deserves to be preserved as residential. Business or commercial development on Enfield Road is destructive to the residential importance of the neighborhoods on both sides of Enfield Road. Already road traffic to and from downtown Austin, businesses, the Capitol, the University, medical centers, all venues east of Enfield clog the road to Mopac, especially during rush hours. Add to that, public transportation in this corridor is poor so increased traffic means more cars. It is very unpleasant and detrimental to all involved. Certainly we don’t need more commercial development along this thoroughfare to add to this. There is also the impact of more impervious cover which increased traffic and parking needs bring. Pooling water in this Enfield Road area, between the Lamar overpass and Mopac, is now a flooding problem for residences in this vicinity. More paving for traffic or parking will exacerbate that damage. As a resident of the condominiums at 1626 Palma Plaza for over 20 years, and as an elected representative to the HOA, I speak not only for myself but also for the others who live there. We have been negatively affected by pooling water which has damaged a condo, by limited street parking for our residents and their guests, and by traffic that, to avoid the congestion on Enfield Road, cuts across Palma Plaza to access Mopac. We cannot absorb the affects of commercial development on Enfield Road, especially in the area of the Lamar overpass to Mopac, neither in traffic, nor in impervious cover, nor in on street parking Please deny these business applications for development or variances. Let us emphasize residential use and home ownership for our lovely downtown Austin. CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

I strongly oppose rezoning 1509 Enfield to NO-MU-NP for the following reasons: • Preserve Housing Stock—The OWANA (Old West Austin Neighborhood Association) Neighborhood Plan (NP) states that the properties along its Enfield boundary are in the area defined as the residential core and are to be protected and preserved from rezoning to anything non-residential. “No zoning changes to a more permissive zoning category should be permitted. Preservation of existing older residential structures is strongly encouraged.” Nearby neighbors of 1509 Enfield have the expectation of their neighborhood being residential under the Old West Austin NP that was added by ordinance to all OWANA base districts. Our neighbors have worked hard to put our Neighborhood Plan into ordinance along with continuing to support its provisions. Please respect our neighborhood plan and do not approve the application to rezone 1509 Enfield. Thank you for your attention.

Rezoning from MF-3-NP to NO-MU-NP will create a gateway set- ting for commercialization of the Enfield corridor and could lead to a West 6th St. scenario (loss of the street's residential use to commercial office use), which could then metastasize into / onto Palma Plaza and 40 of 44B-13 further into the neighborhood.   It is a priority of OWANA to protect its residential homes for affordable housing.  It is currently leased to a Christian girls organization that allows female UT students who are a part of their organization to rent there.   4.  Members do not believe a home building company office will benefit our resi- dential neighborhood. Nalle Custom homes McMansion style homes may fit the char- acter of other neighborhoods.  But even their “traditional” style homes do not reflect the historic character of Old West Austin (https://www.nallecustomhomes.com/portfo- lio/ link to Nalle Custom Homes “Traditional” custom homes).  Our neighborhood is in the West Line Historic District.  Within our district we currently have three local historic districts.  Our historic districts are important additions to Austin’s cultural landscape. Preserving and enhancing the unique historic identity of the neighborhood is a top pri- ority.  While renovation of the original single family home is welcomed, rezoning this property to NO-MU-NP does not ensure that it cannot be demolished in the future for a new project.    Quote from nearby neighbor: “It is difficult to see how the purposes of this business   - a luxury home builder that has bought and demolished many older homes in Tarrytown and replaced them with what is commonly called "McMansions" would serve the neighborhood or be compatible with it, which are criteria for rezoning to NO or NO MU zoning – neighborhood compatibility.” 5. Introducing additional trips to and from businesses on Enfield Road will have a negative impact on traffic and public Safety. Enfield is a 4 lane, 2 way, very narrow street that is becoming busier and more dangerous with increased traffic.  The curves and slope of Enfield along some parts of the Old West Austin neighborhood make heavy traffic along with cars traveling at excessive speeds on Enfield more problemat- ic.  Enfield Road does not have on street parking in the OWANA neighborhood.  There is no apparent opportunity to widen the street.   Enfield is not like 6th St. (3 lanes, all one-way east). 1509 Enfield has poor access and very limited commercial parking capacity, so it is an unfavorable location for a busi- ness.  It remains to be seen that a home building company’s central office may not re- sult in more traffic ingress/egress events which would make the street more dangerous than it currently is (residential rental x 7 cars).  But, the next business that comes along might be client-intensive and not care about the additional dangers to Enfield traffic as a whole caused by substantial additional ingress/egress events from the 1509 Enfield property driveway.  Conversely, if they sent their clients to park on Palma or Marshall, then that would further aggravate the existing overflow parking/urbanization problems on these streets.  And it seems as if changing from MF-3-NP to NO-MU-NP, does not allow OWANA to oppose future businesses which would affect neighborhood parking and make traveling on Enfield more hazardous. 41 of 44B-13   6.  Impervious cover, drainage issues and a sloping site will limit 1509 Enfield’s ability to provide significant on-site parking for a business use. Currently the park- ing at 1509 Enfield is tight. There are four parking spaces at the rear of the property and the u-shaped driveway up front can serve as a tandem parking space. Neighbors on Palma Plaza already have issues with rain water that rushes off driveways from En- field onto their adjacent properties. According to the City’s drainage charge, the im- pervious cover estimate for 1509 Enfield is 72.16%. It isn’t clear whether 1509 Enfield is a single family home or duplex, either way the impervious cover for both uses should be only 45%. The maximum impervious cover for neighborhood office (NO) zoning is 60%. 7.  Rezoning would make future residential use unlikely. Compatibility and site fac- tors will limit the size of the structure thus making it difficult to add a significant resi- dential component to the neighborhood office.  1508, 1506, and 1504 Palma Plaza as well as 1400 Marshall Lane are all single family use.  The compatibility height of 1509 Enfield will be no more than two stories and 30 feet and the rear setback will be nine- teen feet.   In conclusion, we ask members of the Planning Commission to deny the rezoning of 1509 Enfield to NO-MU-NP.  OWANA’S Neighborhood Plan clearly states that the properties along its Enfield boundary are in the area defined as the residential core and are to be protected and preserved from rezoning to anything non-residential.  Our neighbors have worked hard to put our Neighborhood Plan into ordinance along with continuing to support its provisions.  All of the nearby neighbors that weighed in and who are deeply invested in our community strongly oppose the rezoning of 1509 En- field to NO-MU-NP.  We hope you honor the heartfelt dedication of the Old West Austin neighborhood to our community and its history.   Please stand with us in our request to deny the rezoning of 1509 Enfield to neighborhood office.     Sincerely,   Ted C. Barnhill Chair, Steering Committee Old West Austin Neighborhood Association (OWANA) 42 of 44B-13 Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan Rezoning Proposals: This neighborhood has been under great pressure to accommodate commercial uses within its residential core, and is in danger of being eroded from its edges. This could create a self-fulfilling prophesy of residents leaving and commercial uses moving in, and putting pressure on the next tier of residents. Any proposed rezonings should be consistent with the land use and zoning proposals of this plan. The boundaries of the districts described below are illustrated in the map "Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan – Neighborhood Districts." • Throughout the neighborhood, no zoning changes on commercially- zoned lots to more permissive zoning should be allowed, except as noted below. Rezoning from any commercial base district to the same base district adding MU shall be supported on W. 6th and W. Lynn if the existing building and character are maintained. Elsewhere, rezoning from any commercial base district to add MU shall be supported subject to other restrictions discussed in the plan. • Residential Core (See the attached Neighborhood District Map, which identifies the Residential Core as the area bounded by Enfield, Newfield, the rear lot line of the first lot on the north side of 6 Street, the rear lot line of the th th first lot on the west side of Lamar from W. 6 to the alley between 9 th th th 10 , then continuing on Baylor from the alley between 9 and 10 , to 12 , th and th th from the rear lot line of the first lot on the west side of Lamar from 12 Parkway, from the rear lot line of the first lot on the west side of Parkway from Lamar to Baylor, along Lamar (facing Pease Park) from Parkway to 15 Street (excluding the first 3 southern-most lots of this section), and finally along 15 category should be permitted. Preservation of existing older residential structures is strongly encouraged. Street to Enfield): No zoning changes to a more permissive zoning to th th th th In the Lamar District, 6 – 15 Street (lots between the center line of Lamar and the western edge of the residential area, defined above). Allow mixed use development. Heights should be limited to 40 feet. The neighborhood plan recommends rezoning all CS and CS-1 properties on Lamar to allow mixed use development. th th In the North 6 Street District (lots along the north side of 6 Street): • • No zoning changes to a more permissive category. Exceptions: • If zoned SF-3, allow rezoning to NO-MU-CO, where the CO is: fewer than 40 trips/day, business access through alley is prohibited (though residential access through alley is acceptable), business access through a street with minimum of width of 36' is required, and there shall be a 10' vegetative buffer or a 6' masonry fence that separates the business use (including parking) and adjacent residential property. Owner-occupied is encouraged. Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan 1 43 of 44B-13 • Existing properties with MF zoning or an MF use on the th St. may be rezoned / re-developed to include a north side of 6 commercial component consistent with this plan (a square footage ratio of 3:1, residential to commercial). Any redevelopment must not negatively impact surrounding residences, considering factors including but not limited to height, traffic, visual character, and other compatibility concerns. • Rezonings of commercially zoned properties that do not change the base district but add mixed use should be permitted, if the existing building and character are maintained. Preservation of existing single-house structures is strongly encouraged. • In the area South of 6 th Street (all lots south of the center line of 6 th Street): • The neighborhood plan supports property owners' requests to rezone LI properties to W/LO, MF-1 through MF-6, and CS-CO with the Neighborhood Pla n Combining District special use category “Neighborhood Mixed Use Building” (for the CO, see list of uses identified as restricted in this plan under item #5). • No rezonings to a commercial category more permissive th On the south side of 6 than CS-CO (as specified under item #5) should be permitted, except as noted above for LI properties. • Street, for the lots fronting on 6 zoning changes to a more permissive base district should be permitted. Rezonings that do not change the base district but add mixed use capability should be permitted, if the existing building and character are maintained. Preservation of existing single-house structures is strongly encouraged. , no th Old West Austin Neighborhood Plan 2 44 of 44B-13
