CITY COUNCIL ACTION: February 18, 2021 Scheduled for City Council July 30, 2020 Approved staff’s request for indefinite postponement. Vote: 11-0. ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 17B-2 C14-2020-0029 2 ISSUES: On June 18, 2020 staff received a letter of opposition to rezone this property from SF-3-NP to SF-6-NP from the Montopolis Neighborhood Planning Contact Team (MNPCT). On July 10, 2020 staff received a letter from the applicant requesting to amend their rezoning request from SF-6-NP to MF-6-NP, please see Exhibit D Amended Rezoning Request. The amended rezoning request requires a Neighborhood Plan Amendment (NPA) to change the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). Staff requested an indefinite postponement at Planning Commission on July 14, 2020 and City Council on July 30, 2020 to allow for the NPA process to be conducted and staff to consider the amended request. All communication received for this rezoning case can be found in Exhibit C: Correspondence Received. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is approximately 3.12 acres and is located on the east side of Montopolis Drive. It is currently zoned SF-3-NP. Across Montopolis Drive to the west are properties zoned SF-3-NP with single-family residential buildings. Adjacent to the north is a property zoned LO-MU-CO- NP which is undeveloped. Adjacent to the east and south of the subject property are properties zoned SF-3-NP with single-family residential (to the east) and religious assembly uses (to the south), see Exhibit A: Zoning Map and Exhibit B: Aerial Map. From the applicant’s application, they are requesting MF-6-NP and are proposing 200 residential units with a proposed total of 64 units per acre. No specific details about the potential development or anticipated number of residential units were contained within their application. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends rezoning the property to MF-3-NP. 1. Zoning changes should promote an orderly relationship among land uses. The subject property is between a tract zoned LO-MU-CO-NP to the north and tracts zoned SF-3-NP to the south, east and across Montopolis Drive to the west, all of which have a maximum building height of 35’and many of which contain single family residential uses. Adjacent to the northern property further north along Montopolis Drive, is a tract zoned PUD-NP. The maximum building height allowed for that property is 40’. Rezoning this property to MF-3-NP would be compatible with its surrounding land uses and provide a transition in site development standards and land uses between the commercial and residentially zoned properties.

EXISTING STREET CHARACTERISTICS: Street ROW Pavement Classification Sidewalks Bike Montopolis Drive 70’ 45’ Level 3 Yes Capital Metro (within ¼ mile) Route Shared Lane Yes OTHER STAFF COMMENTS: Environmental The property is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is in the Carson Creek 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, 4 of 17B-2 C14-2020-0029 5 development or redevelopment on this site will be subject to the following impervious cover limits: % of Gross Site Area % of Gross Site Area with Transfers 50% 60% Development Classification Single-Family (minimum lot size 5750 sq. ft.) Other Single-Family or Duplex 55% Multifamily 60% 80% Commercial 60% 70% 90% According to floodplain maps there is no floodplain within or adjacent to 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. Any new development is subject to Subchapter E. Design Standards and Mixed Use. Additional comments will be made when the site plan is submitted. Additional design regulations will be enforced at the time a site plan is submitted. 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. Compatibility Standards The site is subject to compatibility standards due to the adjacency of SF-3-NP zoning to the south, east, and the proximity of SF-3-NP zoning across Montopolis Drive to the west. 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. • Landscaping or screening is required along the south and east property lines in accordance with the screening requirements (Section 25-2-1006 and ECM 2.9.1.), 5 of 17B-2 C14-2020-0029 6 Parking Design Standards (Section 25-6-563) and/or Screening Standards (Section 25.2.1066) to screen adjoining properties from views of parking, mechanical equipment, storage, and refuse collection. • An intensive recreational use, including a swimming pool, tennis court, ball court, or playground, may not be constructed 50 feet or less from property in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district. Airport Overlay This site is located within the Austin-Bergstrom Airport Controlled Compatible Land Use Area Overlay. No use will be allowed that can create electrical interference with navigational signals or radio communications between airport and aircraft, make it difficult for pilots to distinguish between the airport lights and others, result in glare in the eyes of pilots using the airport, impair visibility in the vicinity of the airport, create bird strike hazards or otherwise in any way endanger or interfere with the landing, taking off, or maneuvering of aircraft intending to use the Austin-Bergstrom Airport. Height limitations and incompatible uses with each Airport Overlay zone are established in the Airport Overlay Ordinance. Airport Hazard Zoning Committee review may be required prior to Planning Commission Hearing. Additional comments may be generated during the site plan review process. Demolition and Historic Resources The applicant is responsible for requesting relocation and demolition permits once the site plan is approved. The City Historic Preservation Officer will review all proposed building demolitions and relocations prior to site plan approval. If a building meets city historic criteria, the Historic Landmark Commission may initiate a historic zoning case on the property. Residential Design Standards Overlay The site is subject to 25-2 Subchapter F. Residential Design and Compatibility Standards. Transportation The traffic impact analysis (TIA) determination is deferred until site plan submittal as final land use mix and intensities will be available with the site development application. At the time of submittal of any site plan on the Property, a TIA is required if the proposed development or uses on the Property, considered cumulatively with all existing or previously authorized development and uses, generates traffic that exceeds 2,000 trips per day. The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) adopted 04/11/2019, calls for 80 feet of right-of- way for Montopolis Drive. It is recommended that 40 feet of right-of-way from the existing centerline should be dedicated for Montopolis Road according to the Transportation with the first site plan or subdivision application.

These case will be reviewed at our next scheduled MNPCT meeting scheduled for June 29th, 2020 at 6 pm at the Southeast Health and Wellness Center. 1. 6328 El Mirando Street from SF‐3 to SF‐6 Applicant Ron Thrower 2. 200 Montopolis Dr. from SF‐3 to SF‐6 Applicant Ron Thrower 3. 1013 Montopolis Dr. from SF‐3 to SF‐6 Applicant Ron Thrower 4. 6201 Clovis & 301 Kemp St. from SF‐3 to SF‐6 Applicant Ron Thrower I had a series of email discussions with Ron Thrower's representative, Victoria Hasse. She did not want to come to Montopolis due to COVID‐19. On May 18th, I requested that she email the materials of the zoning cases so that the MNPCT could review them and have a discussion at the May 26th scheduled meeting.and then send questions. I didn't receive the materials until the day of the meeting on May 26th at 4:13 pm. I was in meetings in the afternoon that day, and didn't see her email to late a night. Sending the materials a couple of hours before our meeting is not acceptable. Sincerely, Susana Almanza, President MNPCT PODER P.O.

The Montopolis Neighborhood Plan Contact Team met on May 26th, 2020 at the Southeast Health and Wellness Center. No representative from Ron Thrower, of the Thrower Design Group appeared at the meeting, who are the representatives for all the above zoning cases. They refused to attend the Contact meeting because they were not comfortable coming to the Montopolis community. The meeting was being held at one of the most sanitized locations, Southeast Health and Wellness Center and the room was huge enough to have social distance. They sent backup material on the day of meeting at 4:13pm. The Montopolis Neighborhood Plan Contact Team opposes the zoning change for all the above listed properties! 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. 11 of 17B-2 Clark, Kate From: Sent: To: Subject: Bezner, Janet R Thursday, June 18, 2020 1:45 PM Clark, Kate Rezoning Concern *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Clark, I am writing to provide input for the Planning Commission meeting next week about the following properties, which are adjacent and near a property I own at 204 Montopolis: B-15 (C14-2020-0030 - 200 Montopolis Rezoning, District 3) B-16 (C14-2020-0029 - Montopolis Acres Rezoning, District 3) B-17 (C14-2020-0039 - Clovis and Kemp Rezone, District 3) B-18 (C14-2020-0044 - Saxon Acres Residential Zoning, District 3) B-19 (C14-2020-0038 - 508 Kemp Street, District 3) As you are probably aware, a developer has applied to rezone these lots to an SF‐6 designation, which we oppose. The lots are currently zoned SF‐3, which we believe is appropriate to preserve single family housing in the neighborhood. We are concerned if the lots are rezoned it will lead to increased traffic, increased property taxes, and greater density and crowding, further stressing our natural resources.

Listen to how they are struggling to pay the taxes. Listen to how their children cannot afford to keep the house they grew up in. Listen to the Montopolis Contact team. Listen to their plan. Listen to our neighbors who took time out of their days to sign these petitions. If you are really committed to the ideals of being equitable and anti‐racist, you will ask this community how we want to develop and not pay it lip service. Because we do have a plan to keep the people in their homes who have lived here for generations. We do have a plan to help each other repair our houses. We do have a plan to build more affordable housing. Help us. Don't help the developers who in their proposal will sell this new housing for $400 a square foot. That is not something I can afford. That is definitely not something my neighbors, with a median income of $35,000 can afford. We are surrounded by 3 petitions to build townhomes all on the route my daughter practices riding her bicycle on each day. On our tiny street with no sidewalks. These developers did not come speak to the Montopolis Contact team. We are talking about the gentrification that is happening right now. My husband grew up 2 blocks from where we built our house. Our house is built on land we bought in 2012 for $65,000. Our property taxes are $9000 a year. As 2 teachers, we have an income more that most of our neighbors, yet it is difficult for us to pay our taxes. This will make it impossible for us to protest our property values. Impossible to build affordable housing on our street, as we have planned. Please do your part. We are counting on you, Hedda and Noe Elias 304 Kemp Street CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
