ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2020-0062 Webberville ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP TO: SF-6-NP ADDRESS: 1907 Webberville Road SITE AREA: 11.643 Acres PROPERTY OWNERS/APPLICANT: Webberville Holdings, LLC (Elisa Jiang and Haung Lung Wang) 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: June 28, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be determined ORDINANCE NUMBER: AGENT: Storybuilt (Jarred Corbell) 1 of 8B-08 C14-2020-0062 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located between Webberville Road and Tannehill Lane, approximately 500 feet north of Samuel Huston Avenue. The property is zoned SF-3-NP and is undeveloped. Immediately to the south is land zoned MF-3-NP and SF-3-NP. Both areas are developed with single family residential land uses. Immediately to the north is SF-3-NP that is developed with religious assembly land use. Across Webberville Road to the west is primarily property zoned SF-3-NP that is developed with single family land uses—the area also includes small areas of SF-4A-NP and SF-6-NP with higher density residential uses. Across Tannehill Lane to the east is property zoned MF-2-CO-NP that is developed with religious assembly land use. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the requested SF-6-NP. The property has significant topographic constraints, with elevations ranging from 520 feet to 560 feet. The current SF-3-NP zoning and this topography makes it difficult to develop with consistently and reasonably sized buildable lots. Under SF-3-NP zoning, development of this site would require numerous flag lots and/or require an interior street which requires more impervious cover. SF-6-NP is the most restrictive zoning category that would allow the units to be developed in a clustered manner. Clustered residential units will allow development around the existing topography and reduce the level of impervious cover that would be needed to construct single family residential access. BASIS FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Townhouse and condominium residence (SF-6) district is the designation for a moderate density single family, duplex, two-family, townhouse, and condominium use that is not subject to the spacing and location requirements for townhouse and condominium use in an SF-5 district. An SF-6 district designation may be applied to a use in an area with large lots that have access to streets other than minor residential streets. An SF-6 district may be used as a transition between a single family and multifamily residential use. 2. The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City Council or Planning Commission. The Strategic Housing Blueprint promotes a mix of housing types and densities across the city.

Transit stops are located either next to or across the street from the subject property on both Tannehill Lane and Webberville Road. There are bike lanes on Webberville Road. Mobility options in this area are good and there is an abundance of civic uses (a park, a half a dozen churches and an elementary school). East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan (EMLKCNP)- The EMLKCNP Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates this portion of the planning area as ‘Mixed Residential.Zone.’ MF-6 is permitted under the Mixed Residential FLUM category. The Mixed Residential Land Use Category supports a variety of different housing types in one area, including single-family residential, townhouses, duplexes, and apartments. The following East MLK Plan policies and text are applicable to this request, including text and recommendation taken from the East MLK Planning Policies: Goal One - Preserve established residential areas and improve opportunities for home ownership by promoting the rehabilitation of existing housing and new, infill housing compatible with the existing style of this neighborhood. Objective 1.2: Promote new infill housing in appropriate locations. Goal Five - Provide housing that helps maintain the social and economic diversity of residents. Objective 5.1: Allow a mix of residential types on larger tracts having access to major roadways. Fort Branch area recommendations: The greatest need in the Fort Branch area is continued development of quality residential infill. Some larger tracts on Webberville, Tannehill Lane, and Jackie Robinson Street could be developed with mixed residential, while new single- family homes are appropriate on the smaller vacant lots. Planned channel improvements to Fort Branch Creek should improve the safety and desirability of many vacant lots. Neighborhood-oriented commercial development should be encouraged in small, existing nodes on Webberville. This mixed residential project is supported by both policies and text found in the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan. The developer is encouraged to follow the voluntary East MLK Design Guidelines to ensure aesthetic harmony and compatibility with the adjoining single family neighborhoods. Imagine Austin- The Imagine Austin Growth Concept Map identifies this property as being approximately one third of a mile from the East Martin Luther King Boulevard Activity Corridor. Activity 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. The following Imagine Austin policies are applicable to this case:  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 P5. Promote a diversity of land uses throughout Austin to allow a variety of housing types including rental and ownership opportunities for singles, families with and without children, seniors, persons with disabilities, and multigenerational families. 4 of 8B-08 C14-2020-0062 5  HN P11. 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. Based on the Imagine Austin and East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan policies and the Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint, which supports walkable infill housing and a variety of housing types and the strengths of mobility and connectivity options in the area, this project supports the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. 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. 5 of 8B-08 C14-2020-0062 6  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 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 The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP), adopted 04/11/2019, calls for 78 feet of right- of-way for Webberville Road. It is recommended that 39 feet of right-of-way from the existing centerline should be dedicated for Webberville at the time of subdivision or site plan. Additionally, 70’ of right-of-way is required for Tannehill Lane and 35’ of right-of-way should be dedicated from the centerline at the time of subdivision or site plan. A traffic impact analysis should be deferred to the site plan application when land uses and intensities will be finalized. 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.
