Staff work with the applicant to meet LEED and Sustainable Site Certification for the project. 2. Street yard trees will be a minimum of 3 caliper inches (in lieu of the staff recommendation of 2 caliper inches). (8-0) [Commissioner Ramberg- 1st, Commissioner Coyne- 2nd; Commissioner Maceo- Absent] Please see Exhibit G- Environmental Commission Recommendation. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 23, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be determined. ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-031 of 112 C814-2020-0104 2 ISSUES: The subject property is currently undeveloped but is in the area generally known as the former East Austin Tank Farm. The Tank Farm area was used for storage of petrochemicals for decades before the uses were removed and environmental remediation occurred. This site was remediated in the 1990s but not to a level that would allow redevelopment with residential land uses; only office, commercial, and limited industrial land uses are permitted. The property is also significantly constrained by waterways, floodplain, and water quality buffer zones. There are heritage trees on the site. Please see Exhibit C- 1987 Aerial Exhibit. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property owner is proposing to rezone a 30.18-acre parcel from GR-MU-CO-NP and RR-NP to PUD-NP zoning to allow redevelopment of the property with office and commercial land uses. The property is located east of the intersection of Springdale Road and Airport Boulevard. Railroad right-of-way (ROW) forms the southern boundary. The subject property was previously used for religious assembly and automotive sales but is currently vacant. As stated above, the site is significantly constrained by creek buffers and floodplain. Surrounding land uses include Springdale General- a development with a wide mix of office and commercial land uses- to the north. Springdale General is zoned CS-CO-NP. North and to the east of the subject property is a SF-3-NP zoned residential neighborhood. Immediately to the south is GR-MU-CO-NP property with automotive sales land use. Further south, across the railroad ROW are properties zoned GR-MU-CO-NP, and PUD-NP. These are developed primarily with multifamily land uses, but also a few office, commercial and limited industrial uses. Further south is Govalle Neighborhood Park, zoned P-NP. To the southwest is Springdale Station, a PUD-NP zoned development similar to Springdale General. To the west and northwest are properties zoned CS-MU-NP, CS-CO-NP, and SF-3- NP. These are developed with multifamily, limited industrial, and single family land uses, respectively. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The railroad ROW that forms the southern boundary of the subject property is part of the proposed Capital Metro Green Line, and Capital Metro bus stops are located adjacent to the property along Springdale Road. The Property is located within an Imagine Austin Neighborhood Center and along two Imagine Austin Activity Corridors. The applicant has stated that the project will comply with all Tier One PUD development standards, as well as several Tier Two standards. Tier Two standards proposed include green infrastructure, 3-star Green Building rating, revegetation and restoration of environmentally sensitive areas. The applicant is proposing to reduce the permittable impervious coverage from 90% to 50% and provide tree mitigation at 50% more caliper inches than required by code. The applicant will pay a fee-in-lieu of onsite affordable housing based on increased building square footage since residential land uses are not permitted on the property. A more detailed list of proposed superiority items is attached. Please see Exhibit D- Tier One and Tier Two Requirements Matrices. As required, the applicant has provided a Carbon Impact Statement identifying some carbon offset features of the proposed PUD-NP rezoning. Please see Exhibit E- Carbon Impact Statement. B-032 of 112 C814-2020-0104 3 The applicant proposes the following Code modifications: increase permitted building height from 60 feet to 93 feet, relax Compatibility Standards, and modify Critical Water Quality Zone requirements. The proposed Land Use Plan is attached, showing the location of the buildings and environmental features, as is a more detailed list of proposed code modifications. Please see Exhibits F and G- Land Use Plan and Code Modifications. The proposed PUD was reviewed February 3, 2021 by the Environmental Commission. The commission voted to support the request with additional conditions that Staff work with the Applicant on LEED certification and to increase street yard trees from 2 to 3 caliper inches. Please see Exhibits H and I- Environmental Commission Presentation and Environmental Commission Recommendation. Staff has received correspondence in support of the PUD-NP rezoning. Please see Exhibit J- Correspondence. Staff supports the applicant’s request of PUD-NP, with additional conditions that are supported by the Applicant. Staff recommends prohibiting land uses that may contribute additional pollutants to the property (automotive uses, etc.) and land uses that are inappropriate for a brownfield site (community garden, etc.). The rezoning will remove the Mixed Use (MU) conditional overlay that exists on GR-MU-CO-NP portion of the site; removing the MU will reflect the fact that the brownfield has not been remediated to residential standards. The proposed height increase from 60 feet to 93 feet requires code modification of some Compatibility Standards, but the environmental constraints of the site dictate that development would be at least 675 feet from the single family neighborhood to the north and 700 feet to the neighborhood to the east. Additionally, Springdale General is located between the subject property and the neighborhood to the north; significant floodplain is located between the developable area of the site and the neighborhood to the east. The location of an office-commercial land use on the site is also appropriate adjacent to the proposed Green Line and the intersection of two arterials. The proposed PUD development is suitable for its location in an Imagine Austin Neighborhood Center and along two Imagine Austin Activity Corridors. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. Zoning changes should promote the health, welfare, and safety, and otherwise fulfill the purposes of zoning as set forth in the Texas Local Government Code or the zoning ordinance. 2. 3. The 30.18 property is a remediated brownfield site, and PUD-NP zoning will allow redevelopment with a much lower impact office/commercial use. Since the site cannot be developed with residential uses, the existing mixed use (MU) and rural residence (RR) zoning categories are not appropriate. The applicant has also agreed to prohibit certain land uses that may contribute pollutants, like automotive uses, etc. The applicant has also agreed to address some of the drainage and environmental issues on the site, which will improve B-033 of 112 C814-2020-0104 4 offsite drainage problems and onsite erosion. By developing the site with office/limited commercial uses and addressing drainage issues, the site can be reasonably used and contribute to improving the health and safety of the area.

Springdale Green PUD Submittal - Update 12/8/2020 {W1017661.1} 3 B-0311 of 112 Tier Two Requirements Matrix SECTION REQUIREMENT DISCUSSION Open Space Provides open space at least 10 percent above the minimum requirements. Alternatively, within the urban roadway boundary, provide for proportional enhancements to existing or planned trails, parks, or other recreational common open space. Springdale Green envisions a comprehensive and extensive open space plan featuring more than 200 percent more open space than the minimum requirements and seamlessly integrating key revegetation and environmental efforts. MET Yes Environment/ Drainage Complies with current code instead of asserting entitlement to follow older code provisions by application of law or agreement. Yes Springdale Green is using the current Land Development Code as the baseline for its PUD proposal. Environment/ Drainage Provides water quality controls superior to those otherwise required by code. Yes Environment/ Drainage Uses green water quality controls as described in the Environmental Criteria Manual to treat at least 50 percent of the water quality volume required by code. Yes Environment/ Drainage Provides water quality treatment for currently untreated, developed off-site areas of at least 10 acres in size. No Subject to TCEQ approval, 100 percent of water quality will be provided through Innovative Management Practices per Section 25-8-151 of City Code and the Environmental Criteria Manual. Springdale Green will also include environmentally enhanced elements, such as green infrastructure, cisterns, and low impact design with rain gardens, wet meadows, silva cells, and woodland restoration. Subject to TCEQ approval, Springdale Green’s use of water quality controls (such as rain gardens, biofiltration devices, stormwater capture and reuse, and more) will treat 100 percent of the water quality volume. Springdale Green addresses the site’s “tank farm” history by putting forward a vision of sustainability and environmental stewardship. A key part of this vision is addressing these extensive issues on site rather than requesting off-site alternatives. Springdale Green PUD Submittal - Update 12/8/2020 {W1017661.1} 4 B-0312 of 112 SECTION REQUIREMENT DISCUSSION Environment/ Drainage Reduces impervious cover by five percent below the maximum otherwise allowed by code or includes off-site measures that lower overall impervious cover within the same watershed by five percent below that allowed by code. MET Yes Springdale Green envisions a forward-looking development distinguished by its commitment to sustainability. Along with stormwater reuse and other efforts, Springdale Green will also significantly impervious cover below current entitlements, at less than 50 percent impervious cover overall. reduce Environment/ Drainage Provides minimum 50-foot setback for at least 50 percent of all unclassified waterways with a drainage area of 32 acres. N/A There are no known unclassified waterways on the site. Environment/ Drainage Provides volumetric flood detention as described in the Drainage Criteria Manual. Yes Environment/ Drainage Provides drainage upgrades to off-site drainage infrastructure that does not meet current criteria in the Drainage or Environmental Criteria Manuals, such as storm drains and culverts that provide a public benefit. No Environment/ Drainage Proposes no modifications to the existing 100-year floodplain. Yes Subject to TCEQ approval, Springdale Green will provide extensive on-site stormwater management strategies where none exist today, including significantly limiting impervious cover as well as detaining stormwater across the site through cisterns (for later irrigation use), meadows, rain gardens, and more. Springdale Green envisions a project in which all parts of the site – from the buildings to the open space – work together to provide superior stormwater management and water quality. This will be done on-site, without any applicant requests for alternative off-site measures. Springdale Green is not proposing to amend the 100-year floodplain through the PUD. A Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) has been submitted in order to better define the location of the 100-year floodplain. Springdale Green PUD Submittal - Update 12/8/2020 {W1017661.1} 5 B-0313 of 112 SECTION REQUIREMENT MET DISCUSSION Environment/ Drainage Uses natural channel design techniques as described in the Drainage Criteria Manual. Yes Subject to City staff approval, Springdale Green could provide including removing natural channel design techniques, invasive soil revegetation, species, providing native amendment and habitat enhancement, and implementing an ongoing sustainable management plan. Springdale Green will provide native revegetation within on- site existing Critical Water Quality Zone areas, such as the woodland and riparian woodland areas in the 25-year floodplain. Environment/ Drainage Restores riparian vegetation in existing, degraded Critical Water Quality Zone areas. Yes Environment/ Drainage Removes existing impervious cover from the Critical Water Quality Zone. Yes Springdale Green will remove existing impervious cover from the Critical Water Quality Zone. Environment/ Drainage Preserves all heritage trees; preserves 75% of the caliper inches associated with native protected size trees; and preserves 75% of all of the native caliper inches. Yes Springdale Green will provide superior tree preservation and will restore and manage its existing woodlands, including removing invasive species. It will also meet the listed heritage and native protected tree standards with the exception of a single heritage tree determined to be in poor condition, for which mitigation will be provided. Environment/ Drainage Tree plantings use Central Texas seed stock native and with adequate soil volume. Yes Springdale Green will preserve on-site trees, as well as plant native trees, as part of its broader vision for the project’s native wildflower meadows, and woodland restoration. Environment/ Drainage Provides at least a 50 percent increase in the minimum waterway and/or critical environmental feature setbacks required by code. No the 25-year Springdale Green will extensively restore the meadows and woodlands within floodplain. The only improvements proposed for the 100-year floodplain are elevated trails and elevated open space, which will be designed in a way that is environmentally sensitive and minimizes disturbance. Springdale Green PUD Submittal - Update 12/8/2020 {W1017661.1} 6 B-0314 of 112 SECTION REQUIREMENT DISCUSSION Environment/ Drainage Clusters impervious cover and disturbed areas in a manner that preserves the most environmentally sensitive areas of the site that are not otherwise protected. MET Yes Environment/ Drainage Provides porous pavement for at least 20 percent or more of all paved areas for non-pedestrian in non-aquifer recharge areas. No Environment/ Drainage Provides porous pavement for at least 50 percent or more of all paved areas limited to pedestrian use. No Springdale Green will live up to its name by both restoring the natural beauty of the site’s green spaces (to the east) and clustering the impervious cover – featuring integrated green infrastructure – along Springdale Road (to the west). Springdale Green plans to use porous pavement strategies where feasible, such as using an approved grass-reinforced paving system is contained in a single parking structure and no surface parking is provided on the property. in fire-lane construction. All parking Springdale Green plans to use porous pavement strategies where feasible, and will use silva cells (with porous paving or gravel) more extensively than almost any other project in the City to date. It will also dedicate a large amount of site area to landscape planters featuring native shrubs, trees, and grasses. Environment/ Drainage Provides rainwater harvesting for landscape irrigation to serve not less than 50% of the landscaped areas. Yes Springdale Green will primarily use rainwater harvesting and condensate recovery for irrigation, ultimately achieving at least 50 percent reduction of irrigation water. Environment/ Drainage Directs stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces to a landscaped area at least equal to the total required landscape area. Yes Environment/ Drainage Employs other creative or innovative measures to provide environmental protection. Yes Springdale Green will be designed to capture stormwater and reuse it on site for landscape irrigation. As noted above, we project this will help achieve a 50 percent reduction of irrigation water. Springdale Green will address this site’s “tank farm” past by not only restoring its natural spaces and sustaining them through an ongoing management plan, but also through integrating green infrastructure (including silva cells, rain gardens, and more) into the more developed areas of the project. Springdale Green PUD Submittal - Update 12/8/2020 {W1017661.1} 7 B-0315 of 112 SECTION REQUIREMENT MET DISCUSSION Austin Energy Green Building Provides an Austin Energy Green Building Rating of three stars or above. Yes Springdale Green will provide a three-star Austin Energy Green Building rating for development. Art Provides art approved by the Art in Public Places Program in open spaces, either by providing the art directly or by making a contribution to the City's Art in Public Places Program or a successor program. No While Springdale Green envisions incorporating private art into its overall plan at some point, the landowner is not participating in the Art in Public Places Program. Great Streets N/A Springdale Green is subject to Subchapter E. Complies with City's Great Streets Program, or a successor program. Applicable only to commercial, retail, or mixed-use development that is not subject to the requirements of Subchapter E.

B-0319 of 112 Carbon Impact Statement: Springdale Green Project Description: Springdale Green envisions a Planned Unit Development project that can address mistakes from Austin’s “tank farm” past and deliver on the vision of sustainability and managed growth contained in Imagine Austin. The property is located on a former “tank farm” site, which housed environmentally challenging chemicals for decades. Springdale Green proposes addressing this past through meaningful environmental restoration, sustainable landscaping strategies, and sustainable building practices – while also offering quality open space and contributing to affordable housing efforts. This proposal would also help deliver on the City’s planning vision through a more sustainable development pattern. Springdale Green would provide managed growth within an Imagine Austin Center and along two Imagine Austin Corridors, and would connect with existing public transit routes and roadways designated on the Austin Bicycle Master Plan’s All Ages and Abilities Network. {W0994839.1} B-0320 of 112 Carbon Impact Statement Documentation  T1.

(8-0) [Commissioner Ramberg- 1st, Commissioner Coyne- 2nd; Commissioner Maceo- Absent] Please see Exhibit G- Environmental Commission Recommendation. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 23, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be determined. ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-0355 of 112 C814-2020-0104 2 ISSUES: The subject property is currently undeveloped but is in the area generally known as the former East Austin Tank Farm. The Tank Farm area was used for storage of petrochemicals for decades before the uses were removed and environmental remediation occurred. This site was remediated in the 1990s but not to a level that would allow redevelopment with residential land uses; only office, commercial, and limited industrial land uses are permitted. The property is also significantly constrained by waterways, floodplain, and water quality buffer zones. There are heritage trees on the site. Please see Exhibit C- 1987 Aerial Exhibit. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property owner is proposing to rezone a 30.18-acre parcel from GR-MU-CO-NP and RR-NP to PUD-NP zoning to allow redevelopment of the property with office and commercial land uses. The property is located east of the intersection of Springdale Road and Airport Boulevard. Railroad right-of-way (ROW) forms the southern boundary. The subject property was previously used for religious assembly and automotive sales but is currently vacant. As stated above, the site is significantly constrained by creek buffers and floodplain. Surrounding land uses include Springdale General- a development with a wide mix of office and commercial land uses- to the north. Springdale General is zoned CS-CO-NP. North and to the east of the subject property is a SF-3-NP zoned residential neighborhood. Immediately to the south is GR-MU-CO-NP property with automotive sales land use. Further south, across the railroad ROW are properties zoned GR-MU-CO-NP, and PUD-NP. These are developed primarily with multifamily land uses, but also a few office, commercial and limited industrial uses. Further south is Govalle Neighborhood Park, zoned P-NP. To the southwest is Springdale Station, a PUD-NP zoned development similar to Springdale General. To the west and northwest are properties zoned CS-MU-NP, CS-CO-NP, and SF-3- NP. These are developed with multifamily, limited industrial, and single family land uses, respectively. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The railroad ROW that forms the southern boundary of the subject property is part of the proposed Capital Metro Green Line, and Capital Metro bus stops are located adjacent to the property along Springdale Road. The Property is located within an Imagine Austin Neighborhood Center and along two Imagine Austin Activity Corridors. The applicant has stated that the project will comply with all Tier One PUD development standards, as well as several Tier Two standards. Tier Two standards proposed include green infrastructure, 3-star Green Building rating, revegetation and restoration of environmentally sensitive areas. The applicant is proposing to reduce the permittable impervious coverage from 90% to 50% and provide tree mitigation at 50% more caliper inches than required by code. The applicant will pay a fee-in-lieu of onsite affordable housing based on increased building square footage since residential land uses are not permitted on the property. A more detailed list of proposed superiority items is attached. Please see Exhibit D- Tier One and Tier Two Requirements Matrices. As required, the applicant has provided a Carbon Impact Statement identifying some carbon offset features of the proposed PUD-NP rezoning. Please see Exhibit E- Carbon Impact Statement. B-0356 of 112 C814-2020-0104 3 The applicant proposes the following Code modifications: increase permitted building height from 60 feet to 93 feet, relax Compatibility Standards, and modify Critical Water Quality Zone requirements. The proposed Land Use Plan is attached, showing the location of the buildings and environmental features, as is a more detailed list of proposed code modifications. Please see Exhibits F and G- Land Use Plan and Code Modifications. The proposed PUD was reviewed February 3, 2021 by the Environmental Commission. The commission voted to support the request with additional conditions that Staff work with the Applicant on LEED certification and to increase street yard trees from 2 to 3 caliper inches. Please see Exhibits H and I- Environmental Commission Presentation and Environmental Commission Recommendation. Staff has received correspondence in support of the PUD-NP rezoning. Please see Exhibit J- Correspondence. Staff supports the applicant’s request of PUD-NP, with additional conditions that are supported by the Applicant. Staff recommends prohibiting land uses that may contribute additional pollutants to the property (automotive uses, etc.) and land uses that are inappropriate for a brownfield site (community garden, etc.). The rezoning will remove the Mixed Use (MU) conditional overlay that exists on GR-MU-CO-NP portion of the site; removing the MU will reflect the fact that the brownfield has not been remediated to residential standards. The proposed height increase from 60 feet to 93 feet requires code modification of some Compatibility Standards, but the environmental constraints of the site dictate that development would be at least 675 feet from the single family neighborhood to the north and 700 feet to the neighborhood to the east. Additionally, Springdale General is located between the subject property and the neighborhood to the north; significant floodplain is located between the developable area of the site and the neighborhood to the east. The location of an office-commercial land use on the site is also appropriate adjacent to the proposed Green Line and the intersection of two arterials. The proposed PUD development is suitable for its location in an Imagine Austin Neighborhood Center and along two Imagine Austin Activity Corridors. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. Zoning changes should promote the health, welfare, and safety, and otherwise fulfill the purposes of zoning as set forth in the Texas Local Government Code or the zoning ordinance. 2. 3. The 30.18 property is a remediated brownfield site, and PUD-NP zoning will allow redevelopment with a much lower impact office/commercial use. Since the site cannot be developed with residential uses, the existing mixed use (MU) and rural residence (RR) zoning categories are not appropriate. The applicant has also agreed to prohibit certain land uses that may contribute pollutants, like automotive uses, etc. The applicant has also agreed to address some of the drainage and environmental issues on the site, which will improve B-0357 of 112 C814-2020-0104 4 offsite drainage problems and onsite erosion. By developing the site with office/limited commercial uses and addressing drainage issues, the site can be reasonably used and contribute to improving the health and safety of the area.

Springdale Green PUD Submittal - Update 12/8/2020 {W1017661.1} 3 B-0365 of 112 Tier Two Requirements Matrix SECTION REQUIREMENT DISCUSSION Open Space Provides open space at least 10 percent above the minimum requirements. Alternatively, within the urban roadway boundary, provide for proportional enhancements to existing or planned trails, parks, or other recreational common open space. Springdale Green envisions a comprehensive and extensive open space plan featuring more than 200 percent more open space than the minimum requirements and seamlessly integrating key revegetation and environmental efforts. MET Yes Environment/ Drainage Complies with current code instead of asserting entitlement to follow older code provisions by application of law or agreement. Yes Springdale Green is using the current Land Development Code as the baseline for its PUD proposal. Environment/ Drainage Provides water quality controls superior to those otherwise required by code. Yes Environment/ Drainage Uses green water quality controls as described in the Environmental Criteria Manual to treat at least 50 percent of the water quality volume required by code. Yes Environment/ Drainage Provides water quality treatment for currently untreated, developed off-site areas of at least 10 acres in size. No Subject to TCEQ approval, 100 percent of water quality will be provided through Innovative Management Practices per Section 25-8-151 of City Code and the Environmental Criteria Manual. Springdale Green will also include environmentally enhanced elements, such as green infrastructure, cisterns, and low impact design with rain gardens, wet meadows, silva cells, and woodland restoration. Subject to TCEQ approval, Springdale Green’s use of water quality controls (such as rain gardens, biofiltration devices, stormwater capture and reuse, and more) will treat 100 percent of the water quality volume. Springdale Green addresses the site’s “tank farm” history by putting forward a vision of sustainability and environmental stewardship. A key part of this vision is addressing these extensive issues on site rather than requesting off-site alternatives.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 23, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be determined. ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-0382 of 112 C814-2020-0104 2 ISSUES: The subject property is currently undeveloped but is in the area generally known as the former East Austin Tank Farm. The Tank Farm area was used for storage of petrochemicals for decades before the uses were removed and environmental remediation occurred. This site was remediated in the 1990s but not to a level that would allow redevelopment with residential land uses; only office, commercial, and limited industrial land uses are permitted. The property is also significantly constrained by waterways, floodplain, and water quality buffer zones. There are heritage trees on the site. Please see Exhibit C- 1987 Aerial Exhibit. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property owner is proposing to rezone a 30.18-acre parcel from GR-MU-CO-NP and RR-NP to PUD-NP zoning to allow redevelopment of the property with office and commercial land uses. The property is located east of the intersection of Springdale Road and Airport Boulevard. Railroad right-of-way (ROW) forms the southern boundary. The subject property was previously used for religious assembly and automotive sales but is currently vacant. As stated above, the site is significantly constrained by creek buffers and floodplain. Surrounding land uses include Springdale General- a development with a wide mix of office and commercial land uses- to the north. Springdale General is zoned CS-CO-NP. North and to the east of the subject property is a SF-3-NP zoned residential neighborhood. Immediately to the south is GR-MU-CO-NP property with automotive sales land use. Further south, across the railroad ROW are properties zoned GR-MU-CO-NP, and PUD-NP. These are developed primarily with multifamily land uses, but also a few office, commercial and limited industrial uses. Further south is Govalle Neighborhood Park, zoned P-NP. To the southwest is Springdale Station, a PUD-NP zoned development similar to Springdale General. To the west and northwest are properties zoned CS-MU-NP, CS-CO-NP, and SF-3- NP. These are developed with multifamily, limited industrial, and single family land uses, respectively. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The railroad ROW that forms the southern boundary of the subject property is part of the proposed Capital Metro Green Line, and Capital Metro bus stops are located adjacent to the property along Springdale Road. The Property is located within an Imagine Austin Neighborhood Center and along two Imagine Austin Activity Corridors. The applicant has stated that the project will comply with all Tier One PUD development standards, as well as several Tier Two standards. Tier Two standards proposed include green infrastructure, 3-star Green Building rating, revegetation and restoration of environmentally sensitive areas. The applicant is proposing to reduce the permittable impervious coverage from 90% to 50% and provide tree mitigation at 50% more caliper inches than required by code. The applicant will pay a fee-in-lieu of onsite affordable housing based on increased building square footage since residential land uses are not permitted on the property. A more detailed list of proposed superiority items is attached. Please see Exhibit D- Tier One and Tier Two Requirements Matrices. As required, the applicant has provided a Carbon Impact Statement identifying some carbon offset features of the proposed PUD-NP rezoning. Please see Exhibit E- Carbon Impact Statement. B-0383 of 112 C814-2020-0104 3 The applicant proposes the following Code modifications: increase permitted building height from 60 feet to 93 feet, relax Compatibility Standards, and modify Critical Water Quality Zone requirements. The proposed Land Use Plan is attached, showing the location of the buildings and environmental features, as is a more detailed list of proposed code modifications. Please see Exhibits F and G- Land Use Plan and Code Modifications. The proposed PUD was reviewed February 3, 2021 by the Environmental Commission. The commission voted to support the request with additional conditions that Staff work with the Applicant on LEED certification and to increase street yard trees from 2 to 3 caliper inches. Please see Exhibits H and I- Environmental Commission Presentation and Environmental Commission Recommendation. Staff has received correspondence in support of the PUD-NP rezoning. Please see Exhibit J- Correspondence. Staff supports the applicant’s request of PUD-NP, with additional conditions that are supported by the Applicant. Staff recommends prohibiting land uses that may contribute additional pollutants to the property (automotive uses, etc.) and land uses that are inappropriate for a brownfield site (community garden, etc.). The rezoning will remove the Mixed Use (MU) conditional overlay that exists on GR-MU-CO-NP portion of the site; removing the MU will reflect the fact that the brownfield has not been remediated to residential standards. The proposed height increase from 60 feet to 93 feet requires code modification of some Compatibility Standards, but the environmental constraints of the site dictate that development would be at least 675 feet from the single family neighborhood to the north and 700 feet to the neighborhood to the east. Additionally, Springdale General is located between the subject property and the neighborhood to the north; significant floodplain is located between the developable area of the site and the neighborhood to the east. The location of an office-commercial land use on the site is also appropriate adjacent to the proposed Green Line and the intersection of two arterials. The proposed PUD development is suitable for its location in an Imagine Austin Neighborhood Center and along two Imagine Austin Activity Corridors. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. Zoning changes should promote the health, welfare, and safety, and otherwise fulfill the purposes of zoning as set forth in the Texas Local Government Code or the zoning ordinance. 2. 3. The 30.18 property is a remediated brownfield site, and PUD-NP zoning will allow redevelopment with a much lower impact office/commercial use. Since the site cannot be developed with residential uses, the existing mixed use (MU) and rural residence (RR) zoning categories are not appropriate. The applicant has also agreed to prohibit certain land uses that may contribute pollutants, like automotive uses, etc. The applicant has also agreed to address some of the drainage and environmental issues on the site, which will improve B-0384 of 112 C814-2020-0104 4 offsite drainage problems and onsite erosion. By developing the site with office/limited commercial uses and addressing drainage issues, the site can be reasonably used and contribute to improving the health and safety of the area.
