Steen AGENT: Drenner Group (Leah M. Bojo) CASE MANAGER: Kate Clark (512-974-1237, kate.clark@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends denial of the applicant’s request for Townhouse and Condominium Residence – Neighborhood Plan (SF-6-NP) combining district zoning. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 23, 2020 Scheduled for Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 30, 2020 Planned to be scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES On May 26, 2020 the Montopolis Neighborhood Planning Contact Team (MNPCT) met to discuss their recommendation of this rezoning case. They voted to oppose the rezoning request, please refer to Exhibit C: MNPCT Opposition to Rezoning. Staff has received communication in opposition to this rezoning case from neighboring properties, please refer to Exhibit D: Correspondence Received. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is located on the west side of Kemp Street and is approximately 2.16 acres in size. It is currently developed with a single-family residential building. Adjacent to the north is right- B-191 of 18C14-2020-0038 2 of-way reserved for Grove Boulevard. This is a proposed road in the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) and is not currently built. Across the proposed right-of-way are tracts zoned SF-3- NP with single-family residential buildings on them. Across Kemp Street to the east are tracts zoned SF-3-NP with single family residential and religious assembly buildings. Adjacent to the south are tracts zoned SF-3-NP which are undeveloped. Adjacent to the west are tracts zoned GR-CO-NP which are undeveloped. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The applicant is requesting a base zoning district of SF-6. This district is intended as an area for moderate density single family, duplex, two family, townhouse and condominium use. It is appropriate for areas in which unusually large lots predominate with access to other than minor residential streets, and in selected areas where a transition from single-family to multifamily use is appropriate. This property is located midblock on a local residential street, is predominately surrounded by SF-3-NP zoning and is internal to the Montopolis Neighborhood. Kemp Street is classified as a Level 1 road in the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) and is not a through street. Additionally, Housing and Neighborhood Policy 11 (HN P11) states: Protect neighborhood character by directing growth to areas of change and ensuring context sensitive infill in such locations as designated redevelopment areas, corridors, and infill sites. Because this site is located internally to the neighborhood, is not located along a through street nor is it close to or have easy access to a major thoroughfare, Staff does not recommend rezoning this property to SF-6-NP. For this area of the Montopolis Neighborhood, the base zoning of SF-6 is more appropriate along major collectors/thoroughfares and/or towards the periphery of the neighborhood boundary. EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Zoning Land Uses Site SF-3-NP Single-family residential North GR-CO-NP, SF-3-NP, P-NP Undeveloped, single-family residential and public park South SF-3-NP Undeveloped East SF-3-NP Single-family residential, religious assembly building West GR-CO-NP Undeveloped (Ecology Action Circle Acres Nature Preserve) NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING AREA: Montopolis Neighborhood Plan (NP Ordinance No. 010927-05) B-192 of 18C14-2020-0038 3 TIA: A traffic impact analysis was not required for this case because the traffic generated by the proposed zoning does not exceed the threshold of 2,000 vehicle trips per day.

EXISTING STREET CHARACTERISTICS: Street ROW Pavement Classification Sidewalks Bike Route Capital Metro (within ¼ mile) Kemp St 28’ Level 1 None None Yes 50’- 56’ OTHER STAFF COMMENTS: Comprehensive Planning This zoning case is located on the west side of Kemp Street, 500 feet north of Atwood Drive on vacant parcel that is approximately 2.158 acres in size, which contains a single-family house. The property does not abut nor is it close to an Activity Corridor or Center. This project is located within the boundaries of the Montopolis Neighborhood Planning Area. Surrounding land uses includes single family housing and vacant land to the north; to the south is vacant land and single-family housing; to the east is a church and single family housing; and to the west is the B-194 of 18C14-2020-0038 5 Ecology Action Circle Acres Nature Preserve, which is privately owned. The Roy Guerrero Metropolitan Park is located northwest of the private nature preserve. Connectivity A Cap Metro bus stop is located 800 feet from the subject property. There are no public sidewalks located along this street or along several streets that abut Kemp Street. While there is park close by, the mobility and connectivity options are fair and lacks neighborhood serving goods and services in the area. Montopolis Neighborhood Plan The Montopolis Future Land Use Map classifies this portion of Montopolis Drive as Single Family. For all plans adopted prior to January 2002 (the Montopolis Plan was adopted in 2001), zone SF-6 is permitted in the “Single Family” land use designation. The following goal, objections and actions are taken from the Montopolis Plan. • Goal 2: Create Homes for all Stages of Life within Montopolis. (p 14) o Objective 4: Enhance and protect existing single family housing.  Action 12: Preserve the existing Single Family uses and zoning in the older, established areas of Montopolis.  Action 13: Preserve residential zoning in the interior of East Montopolis to allow for new homes to be built.  Action 14: Preserve Single Family zoning in the interior of South Montopolis. o Objective 5: Create multiple housing types of varied intensities. Imagine Austin The Montopolis neighborhood has a mix of single-family houses and larger apartment complexes. The following Imagine Austin policies support the zoning change: • LUT P5. Create healthy and family-friendly communities through development that includes a mix of land uses and housing types and affords realistic opportunities for transit, bicycle, and pedestrian travel and provides both community gathering spaces, parks and safe outdoor play areas for children. • HN P10. Create complete neighborhoods across Austin that have a mix of housing types and land uses, affordable housing and transportation options, and access to healthy food, schools, retail, employment, community services, and parks and recreation options. Based on a lack of connectivity and mobility options in the area, Imagine Austin is neutral on this project. B-195 of 18C14-2020-0038 6 B-196 of 18C14-2020-0038 7 Environmental The site is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is in the Country Club East Watershed of the Colorado River Basin, which is classified as a Suburban Watershed by Chapter 25-8 of the City's Land Development Code. Under current watershed regulations, development or redevelopment on this site will be subject to the following impervious cover limits: Development Classification % of Gross Site Area % of Gross Site Area with Transfers Single-Family (minimum lot size 5750 sq. ft.) 50% Other Single-Family or Duplex 55% Multifamily Commercial 60% 80% 60% 60% 70% 90% 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. Standard landscaping and tree protection will be required in accordance with LDC 25-2 and 25-8 for all development and/or redevelopment. 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. Under current watershed regulations, development or redevelopment requires water quality control with increased capture volume and control of the 2-year storm on site. At this time, no information has been provided as to whether this property has any preexisting approvals that preempt current water quality or Code requirements. Site Plan Site plans will be required for any new development other than single-family or duplex residential.

B-1911 of 18June 15, 2020 To: Kare Clark, Planning Commissioners & Austin City Council Members Susana Almanza, President MNPCT From: Montopolis Neighborhood Plan Contact Team Re: 508 Kemp Street/C14-2020-0038/ SF-3-NP to SF-6 The Montopolis Neighborhood Plan Contact Team met on May 26th, 2020 at the Southeast Health and Wellness Center. The Contact Team reviewed Leah Bojo’s presentation regarding the property at 508 Kemp Street (C14- 2020-0038) and had additional questions. Leah Bojo responded to the Contact Teams additional questions on June 8th, 2020. The Montopolis Neighborhood Plan Contact Team opposes the zoning change for the property located at 508 Kemp Street. The Montopolis Neighborhood Plan was completed under City of Austin’s Neighborhood Planning Program and was adopted as part of the Austin Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan on September 27th, 2001. The property at 508 Kemp was approved as SF-3-NP. We ask that the Austin City Council respect the adopted Montopolis Neighborhood Plan. After emerging successful against the forces of rapacious development at the Montopolis Negro School in 2018, the Montopolis community is once again being besieged by profit-seeking real estate developers with little to no regard for the community’s fragile natural and cultural environment, or it iconic history. Montopolis, also known as “Poverty Island,” has a per capita income of $16,226, a Median Family Income of $31,875, and a poverty rate of 33% according to 2018 American Community Survey data. Accordingly, we guard our existing SF-3 owned property jealously, as we are a community of families. The Austin Human Rights Commission has declared gentrification to be a human rights violation. We call upon the Planning Commission and Austin City Council to reject this gentrifying up zoning in the name of racial justice and reconciliation. Montopolis has too much history and culture to be sliced up by the forces of unscrupulous real estate development in this fashion. The highest and best use of our land is protection, not speculation.
