ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 3 TO: TOD-NP, to change a condition of zoning CASE: C14-2021-0061 Fair Market Rezoning ZONING FROM: TOD-NP ADDRESS: 1100, 1108, 1110 East 5th Street; 502, 504 Waller Street SITE AREA: 0.872 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Montwalk Holdings, Ltd. (R. Cullen Powell) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request for rezoning to TOD-NP to amend the Saltillo Plaza Transit Oriented District (TOD) Station Area Plan and Regulating Plan to allow a building height up to 85 feet. AGENT: Armburst & Brown, PLLC (Richard Suttle) For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 22, 2021: June 8, 2021: To grant postponement to June 22, 2021 as requested by Staff, on consent. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 11B-2C14-2021-0061 2 ISSUES: The Applicant proposes utilizing the Plaza Saltillo TOD Density Bonus tool which allows increased floor-to-area ratio (FAR) for developments that include affordable residential units or pays a fee-in-lieu to Housing and Planning Department (HPD). The Applicant has stated their intent to develop an indoor entertainment venue and office land use and pay a fee-in- lieu for the increased FAR per the TOD Density Bonus. To achieve the increased FAR, the Applicant requests increasing the building height from 60 feet to 85 feet. This includes updating the Station Area Plan (SAP) and Regulating Plan. The request also requires a Neighborhood Plan Amendment (NPA), which is being processed concurrent with the rezoning request (City File # NPA-2020-0002.01). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the north side of East 5th Street between Medina Street and Waller Street. The property is comprised of 10 small lots that extend from East 5th Street to an alley on the north. The western 6 lots of the subject property are currently developed with Fair Market, an indoor entertainment venue and associated offices. Immediately west of the subject property, at the intersection of East 5th Street and Medina, is Roy and Matías Velásquez Plaza, a City-owned pocket park. The eastern 4 lots of the subject property is undeveloped land. These properties are all zoned TOD-NP, as are the other surrounding properties to the west, north and east. Across Medina Street to the west is a mixed use development comprised of multifamily, retail, restaurant and other ground floor commercial land uses. Across the alley to the north is a mix of personal services, cocktail lounge and other commercial land uses. To the east, across Waller Street, is a mixed use commercial and office property. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. South of the subject property, extending west from Onion Street to IH 35, are properties zoned TOD-CURE-NP. These properties, designated Tracts 1-6 on the Area Case Histories chart, were zoned together in 2016-2017 and utilized the CURE overlay to increase permitted building heights and modify other site development standards. The closest tract was granted a height increase to 68 feet; other tracts in the related cases were granted a mix of 68, 70, and 125 feet of building height. The closest tract is developed with multifamily residential land use, retail, restaurant and other ground floor commercial land uses. The development includes onsite affordable housing units. In August 2017, City Council approved a resolution to initiate code amendments to modify CURE, including removing the CURE overlay from east of IH 35. Consequently, the TOD Density Bonus is the only available tool to increase FAR or height. The maximum building height achievable using this tool is 85 feet, as requested by the Applicant. As stated in the Issues section, the Applicant will pay a fee-in-lieu per the TOD Bonus program. Staff supports the rezoning request. Increased density, a mix of land uses, and transit access are fundamental elements of Plaza Saltillo TOD. The regulating plan states that its purpose is, “to promote TOD principles intended to successfully integrate land use and transit by providing greater density than the community average, a mix of uses, and a quality pedestrian environment around a defined center; . . to provide appropriate standards to ensure a high quality appearance for development and redevelopment within the Plaza Saltillo TOD District and promote pedestrian-friendly design while also allowing for individuality, 2 of 11B-2C14-2021-0061 3 creativity, and artistic expression; . . . .” The proposed rezoning will allow greater density and provide an event venue that hosts creative and artistic opportunities and events. The fee- in-lieu will add funds that will help provide affordable housing. Staff has received correspondence in opposition to the request. Please see Exhibit C- Correspondence. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City Council or Planning Commission. Zoning should promote clearly-identified community goals, such as creating employment opportunities or providing for affordable housing. 2. 4. 3. TOD-NP zoning encourages increased density and including creative and artistic spaces. The Plaza Saltillo TOD, as adopted by Council, reflects their goals and objectives. The addition of affordable housing in the TOD also reflects Council goals, as well as Planning Commission policies. The mix of land uses and financial contribution towards affordable housing promotes clearly identified community goals.

Additional comments will be made when the site plan is submitted. 5 of 11B-2C14-2021-0061 6 Parks & Recreation PR1: Parkland dedication will be required for the new residential units proposed by this development, multifamily with Plaza Saltillo TOD-NP zoning plus additional height, at the time of subdivision or site plan, per City Code § 25-1-601. Whether the requirement shall be met with fees in-lieu or dedicated land will be determined using the criteria in City Code Title 25, Article 14, as amended, as well as the Plaza Saltillo TOD Regulating Plan’s Public Parks and Trails standards and requirements. Should fees in-lieu be required, those fees shall be used toward park investments in the form of land acquisition and/or park amenities within the surrounding area, per the Parkland Dedication Operating Procedures § 14.3.11 and City Code § 25-1-607 (B)(1) & (2). If the applicant wishes to discuss parkland dedication requirements in advance of site plan or subdivision applications, please contact this reviewer: thomas.rowlinson@austintexas.gov. At the applicant’s request, PARD can provide an early determination of whether fees in-lieu of land will be allowed. Transportation ASMP Assessment The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) adopted 04/11/2019, calls for 70 feet of right-of- way for Waller Street. It is recommended that 35 feet of right-of-way from the existing centerline should be dedicated for Waller Street according to the Transportation with the first subdivision or site plan application. [LDC 25-6- 51 and 25-6-55]. Transportation Assessment Assessment of required transportation mitigation, including the potential dedication of right of way and easements and participation in roadway and other multi-modal improvements, will occur at the time of site plan application. A Traffic Impact Analysis shall be required at the time of site plan if triggered per LDC 25-6-113. The adjacent street characteristics table is provided below: Water Utility AW1. 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. The water and wastewater utility plan must be reviewed and approved by Austin Water for compliance with City criteria and suitability for operation and maintenance. Based on current public infrastructure configurations, it appears that service extension requests (SER) will be required to provide service to this lot. For more information pertaining to the Service Extension Request process and submittal requirements contact Alberto Ramirez with Austin Water, Utility Development Services at 625 E. 10th St., 7th floor. Ph: 512-972-0211. 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. 6 of 11B-2C14-2021-0061 7 INDEX OF EXHIBITS TO FOLLOW A: Zoning Map B.

Members of the ECC-NPCT attended the Virtual City Led Community Meeting regarding this project on the evening of September 24th and hosted a Special Meeting to further discuss this case following that event. In additional general meetings, the ECC-NPCT has requested that the applicant seek solutions that cap the building height at 75 feet (a height bonus precedent already set in the area) or that add real value to our neighborhood as defined by our neighborhood plan. While the applicant has proposed a park improvement between this building and the adjacent structure (Corazon) as an added neighborhood value, the reality is that the proposed park site will be torn up during construction regardless. It will need to be redeveloped anyway and the resultant park will inevitably be of greatest benefit to the building tenants and not valued as a true asset to the neighborhood at large. The applicant has offered to pay a fee-in lieu of affordable housing to achieve the additional height. Unfortunately, while fee-in lieu payments benefit our city at large, we have never been able to effectively steer that funding into affordable housing right here in our neighborhood where the demand for building height variance is great and the supply of affordable housing is dwindling, fast. Additionally, the 2013-era fees don’t come close to meeting current market value for replacing housing in our city and City Council is currently vetting new fee structure proposals. We believe that $12 per SF is not a fair value for the height bonus requested and the value gained in perpetuity for the developer. Our role is to preserve the integrity of our neighborhood plan and that of the Saltillo TOD. The Saltillo TOD was heavily researched, vetted, and considered by knowledgeable, capable folks. It’s our plan. It’s a smart plan, a good plan, one that feels good to the neighborhood, and one that says 60 feet is the appropriate height for buildings at this location. Every 36 inches the ECC-NPCT gives away only adds 36 inches more to the next project's height increase request and our neighborhood suffers a slow "death by a thousand inches" if you will. For projects that add real value back to our neighbors, we’re willing to budge. Unfortunately, this is not that project. We strongly request that the Planning Commision OPPOSE this applicant's proposal to change the base maximum building height from 60 feet to 85 feet on the property. 10 of 11B-2Page 2 Sincerely, K en Kristen Heaney Chair East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Planning Team CC: ECCNPT via e-mail Planning Commision via e-mail Council Member Pio Renteria, via e-mail 11 of 11B-2
