ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0047 – 902 Morrow St DISTRICT: 7 ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP TO: MF-1-NP ADDRESS: 902, 904 Morrow Street SITE AREA: 0.74 acres (32,380 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Vineway, LLC, (Tyler McReynolds) AGENT: Thrower Design, (A. Ron Thrower) CASE MANAGER: Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov ) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendation is to grant multifamily residence (limited density) – neighborhood plan (MF-1-NP). For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments below. PLANNING/ COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 25, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Planned to be scheduled for September 17, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: No issues were identified for this proposal. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: NPA A Neighborhood Plan Amendment was filed requesting that the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) be modified from single family to multi-family residence for the subject tract. A Virtual Neighborhood Meeting was webcast on July 9, 2020. (www.speakupaustin.org/npa) Neighborhood Planning supports modifying the FLUM from single family to multi-family. 1 of 10B-2 C14-2020-0047 2 DENSITY The applicant requests multi-family residence (limited density) – neighborhood plan (MF-1-NP) combining zone district to build 13 dwelling units on .74 acres (32,380 sq. ft.). The subject tract is on the north side of Morrow Street about 350 feet west of North Lamar Boulevard and about 700 feet east of Watson Street. The property is currently zoned family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) which allows a single family or duplex unit on a minimum of 5,750 square feet; about 7.6 units to the acre. The platted SF-3 zoned lots along the north side of Morrow Street were each about a half-acre (21,780 sq. ft.) or the equivalent of about 3.8 times the minimum lot size for the SF-3 zone district. Many of the SF-3 lots on Morrow Street and Taulbee Lane (one block north) are developed with two or more dwellings or have been subdivided to the same effect. The subject tracts addressed as 902 and 904 Morrow Street have about 160 feet of Morrow Street frontage and 200 feet of lot depth. The requested MF-1 zoning requires 8,000 square feet for a lot and permits up to 6 units per lot. The proposed development density is for 17 units per acre. The west property line and 1/3rd of the north property line of the subject parcel are contiguous with SF-3-NP zoned land. 2/3rds of the north and all of the east property line of the subject tract are contiguous with MF3-NP zoned land. The MF-3 zoned lot to the north and east has 16 dwelling units; 12 on Taulbee Lane and 4 fronting on Morrow. The density of that development is about 12.6 units per acre where about 43 units per acre are permitted. Development Standards/Compatibility Building height and setback are regulated by the zone district and also by Compatibility Standards. Some of the zone district standards for the SF-3 and the requested MF-1 are similar: buildings can be 35 feet in height in SF-3, and 40 in MF-1. Both have 25 foot front setbacks from the street. Compatibility standards require 25 foot side and rear setbacks for buildings when adjacent to property zoned SF-5 or more restrictive. 5% more building coverage is allowed in MF-1 (45% versus 40% in SF-3). Maximum impervious cover in both is 55%. City compatibility standards require a landscaped buffer and increased building and driveway setbacks from the family residence zone. Building height is limited to 30 feet tall for the first 50 feet away from the SF-3 zone. There are requirements for screening mechanical equipment, dumpsters and parking. Compact, Connected The subject tract is about 700 feet from the southbound MetroRapid stop on Lamar and 450 feet from the northbound stop. Lamar is a Future Core Transit Corridor and current MetroRapid bus route with buses departing each 15 minutes during peak travel hours. Google maps estimates the walk from 902 Morrow to Justin Station Commuter Rail would take ten minutes via Easy Wind Drive or eleven minutes via Lamar. There are abundant retail, restaurant, recreation, 2 of 10B-2 C14-2020-0047 3 entertainment, personal and business services and employers along North Lamar and West Anderson Lane near this location. In addition, Morrow is a through Street to Burnett Road with many more options for transportation, essentials and entertainment. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. MF-1 – Multifamily Residence (Limited Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of up to 17 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for residential neighborhoods having a mixture of single-family and multifamily uses, as a buffer between single-family neighborhoods and higher intensity uses, and in selected areas where limited density multifamily use is desirable. NP – Neighborhood Plan district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. The subject tract has higher density zoned properties to the north and east (MF-3). To the west is lower density single family zoning (SF-3). The proposed rezoning creates a buffer between the two. The proposed rezoning to MF-1 creates a transition area from the MF-3 to the SF-3 consistent with the stated purpose of the zone. 2. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. The 2017 Strategic Housing Blueprint establishes a City-wide goal to produce a total of 135,000 new units with a goal of at least 60,000 new low to middle income households (available to households earning approximately $60,000 or less per year. There is a need for affordable housing of all types throughout the City including, but not limited to single family, duplex, townhome, condominium and multi-family. The ten-year goal for North Lamar Blvd. corridor is 1,326 residences with a goal for 90 percent of the newly built affordable housing to be located within ¾ of a mile of transit service. 3. The proposed zoning should satisfy a real public need and not provide special privilege to the owner. The location is compact and connected and presents the opportunity to increase the variety and density of residences near a Future Core Transit Corridor. The subject location is walkable to MetroRapid and Commuter Rail as well as for goods, services, recreation and entertainment.
