PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: APPROVED A POSTPONMENT REQUEST BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO JULY 27, 2021, BY CONSENT [C. HEMPEL, Y. FLORES – 2ND] PRAXIS, C. LLANES PULIDO, R. SCHNEIDER - ABSENT (8-0) A. AZHAR, P. HOWARD, S. July 27, 2021: July 13, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: August 26, 2021 ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 42B-5C14-2021-0055 2 ISSUES Petitions were submitted together with Resolutions from Condo Boards of Directors. The Petition stated that petitioners oppose “any change of the Land Development Code which would zone the property to any classification other than the current zoning.” Staff is reviewing the documents and calculations and will be preparing a Petition Packet for this case prior to Council consideration of the zoning case. As information, the affirmative vote of three-fourths of the City Council is required to approve a proposed rezoning that is protested in writing by the owners of not less than 20 percent of the area of land immediately adjoining the area included in the proposed rezoning and extending 200 feet from the area. Neighbors note current problems with cars parked on the street by nearby auto related businesses. There are concerns about additional parking and traffic coming from the proposed development. The residents have voiced their view that some additional residential units would be acceptable in the neighborhood but that the proposed MF-4-NP zoning would not be compatible. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The applicant is requesting multifamily residence, moderate-high density-neighborhood plan (MF-4-NP) district zoning for the 1.0 acre (43,560 sq. ft.) tract that is currently zoned family residence-neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) district zoning. The rezoning tract is located on the south side of Stobaugh Street between North Lamar Blvd. and Watson Street. There are 2 detached residences on the tract. The south side of Stobaugh Street is zoned for family residences (SF-3-NP) with the exception of the commercial property on the east end of the block, which is zoned (CS-MU-V-CO-NP) where an auto body shop currently operates. While that business fronts on North Lamar Blvd. it takes access from both Lamar and Stobaugh. The north side of Stobaugh is a mixture of three different zone districts. About half of the north side is zoned family residence-neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP), the rest is zoned general commercial services-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (CS-CO-NP), or limited office- mixed use-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (LO-MU-CO-NP). The LO district appears to function as a buffer between the commercial and residential zones. It provides parking and rear access to the commercial strip building that fronts on West Anderson Lane and takes access from Anderson and Lamar. The Crestview/Wooten Combined Neighborhood Plan shows the subject property as family residential in the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). An Amendment to the Neighborhood Plan is required to permit the requested change to multi-family residential. The Neighborhood meeting was held virtually on April 19, 2021. Inclusive Planning is supporting the Plan Amendment to multifamily zoning because it will buffer the family residential and because it will support the transit uses on the Lamar Activity Corridor. There is access to the #1 & 350 bus on N. Lamar at Stobaugh Street. The #1 connects with MetroRapid 801 at Crestview station less than a mile south of Stobaugh. The Red-line train also 2 of 42B-5C14-2021-0055 3 serves the Crestview Station and there are connections to #7 & 350 on Airport Blvd east of Lamar. The morning peak travel time from Stobaugh at Lamar to the ACC Highland Campus on the #350 MetroBus is 18 minutes. Travel time from the subject property to One Texas Center on the MetroRapid #801 is 40 minutes in the morning peak hour including an 8 minute walk to the North Lamar Station north of the Anderson Lane/Lamar/Highway 183 interchange. Lamar Boulevard is an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor intended to provide a mix of land uses that enable walking, biking, and transit use. The Activity Corridors are also intended to improve health, reduce traffic congestion, reduce carbon footprint, and improve the environment. Lamar is the Project Connect Corridor for the Orange line that will connect along Lamar from Tech Ridge to Republic Square downtown and then south to the terminus at Slaughter Lane. The Blue Line will also serve Lamar from the North Lamar Transit Center (north side of Highway183) to the UT Campus, Downtown and then east to Austin Bergstrom International Airport. The applicant notes that the commercial uses east of the rezoning tract are intense uses and that the proposed multifamily zoning would provide housing that is in demand and would act as a transitional use to the general commercial services uses on N. Lamar. There is multifamily, medium density – neighborhood plan (MF-3-NP) zoning contiguous to the rezoning tract for about half of the south property line. The MF-3-NP property is developed with condominiums and fronts on Taulbee Lane. Compatibility Standards would apply to the subject rezoning tract at property lines adjacent to SF-3 zoned land. Typically, this would include a 25-foot setback for the multifamily buildings together with a solid fence and landscaping. Building heights would be limited to 30 feet within 50 feet of the SF-3 zoning to ensure compatible heights. There are restrictions about locations of drive aisles, parking, trash enclosures and screening requirements to further reduce impacts. The design standards help to protect the residential character of the neighborhood and allow for greater variety of housing choices to meet the varied needs of Austin residents. Locating residential density along or near the activity corridors is a strategy for increasing the number of people who will benefit from the community’s investment in transit and also providing the concentration of riders who will use the transit and make it successful. Transit helps to reduce household commuting costs and provides mobility to people who are unable to drive for a variety of reasons. Staff believes that permitting infill development with increased residential density in close proximity to the Activity Corridors and adjacent to intense commercial development is appropriate for this property. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff is making an alternative recommendation, to grant multifamily residence, medium density – neighborhood plan (MF-3-NP) combining district zoning. 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. 3 of 42B-5C14-2021-0055 4 The recommended MF-3 base zone district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of up to 36 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, generally in more centrally located areas, and in other selected areas where medium density multiple use is desirable. The rezoning site is located near North Lamar Blvd. which is an Imagine Austin Corridor currently served with MetroRapid bus service. Lamar, near this location, will also have the Project Connect Orange and Blue lines for high capacity transit. The North Lamar Transit Center is located on North Lamar Blvd. across Highway 183 from the subject site. North Lamar near the subject location is a significant location for employment in auto related and home improvement related business. The Texas Department of Public Safety also has several buildings just over a mile south on Lamar. There are also recreation and entertainment businesses including athletic clubs, restaurants, video games and hobby shops. personal and business services. Anderson Lane, a popular commercial corridor in this area and has movie theaters, groceries, toys and many other retailers. 2. Zoning should not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner: Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. There is multifamily zoning between the commercial zoning and the family residential zoning on the next two blocks south of Stobaugh: Taulbee Lane and Morrow Street. There are other examples of multifamily transitions between commercial and single-family residential zoning, east of Anderson Square north of Anderson Lane and north of Wooten Drive to the commercial zoning along Highway 183. 3. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City Council or Planning Commission. The City Council adopted the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan that provides support for increasing the variety of housing types available and focusing housing density in areas that are walkable to recreation, education, entertainment and to access transit in Activity Corridors to employment in Activity Centers.

Additionally, I cherish my relationships with my neighbors. I frequently watch college football with my neighbors, lose to them at bridge, and if you can believe it, we actually borrow eggs and sugar from each other. Some neighbors have become such good friends, that I think of them like extended family. They are who I entrust to care for my puppy dog, Hank, and who I go to for advice on everything from native plants to career decisions. They are there to celebrate life’s happy milestones like births, graduations and marriages, and also there for life’s difficult ones like the death of a parent, a cancer diagnosis or a natural disaster. During Winter Storm Uri, when the power was out for days, my husband provided a neighbor with our back-up generator so that she could utilize a necessary medical device, and another neighbor was kind enough to share some wild game with us as our food stores were running low and the roads remained impassible. As amazing as this is, it’s not unique. Yesterday, we had a neighborhood meeting attended by thirteen (13) people in the pouring rain. After the meeting a neighbor shared a story that when the power went out on his side of the condo, their next door neighbors invited his family over. Then, when that next door neighbor lost power, and his side of the condo gained power, they all went over to the other side to stay warm 15 of 42B-5together. This street is made up of neighbors who care for each other and who are there for each other. We are not merely a track of land to be rezoned without regard to the impact that it will have on our lives. The American dream is to own a home, and so apartments are for most people a temporary residence, not a place where they are looking to build a life. We want neighbors who share our vision of what a home in a community means. We are more than willing to welcome into our neighborhood the maximum number of families allowed under the current zoning designation of SF-3, established by Ordinance No. 040401-Z-2 that was adopted after significant neighborhood outreach and input was received by the neighborhood planning team. Moreover, as described in the May 2021 edition of the Crestview Neighborhood Association Newsletter, the Neighborhood Association made a good faith effort with the owner of one of the tracks and even reached an agreement in principle before they backed out of the deal. CNA Newsletter at 4. The developer has made no effort to meet with the affected neighbors, and worse, has made several misleading statements to near-by residents about the real size and scope of their project. Adding fifty-four (54) units would drastically change the appearance and feel of the neighborhood, and further push families out into the suburbs which has a negative effect on Austin’s public schools and the city’s overall traffic. It’s important to note that most of the nearby businesses along Lamar are car centric (a car rental, an auto body repair, a car detail and a used car dealership), and so there is an abundance of car traffic in and around the neighborhood already. Additionally, the soccer and baseball fields at North Austin Optimist Park, two blocks down on 16 of 42B-5Morrow Street, create heavy traffic throughout the neighborhood during rush hour when games and practices are also scheduled. Adding fifty-four (54) units, whose occupants are most likely to be drivers, to an over-burdened area is dangerous and irresponsible. Those who want to use the light rail or bus system are far more likely to live in one of the eleven (11) large apartment complexes (Argosy at Crestview, Club Midtown, Crestview Commons, Crestview Station Apartments, Highland flats, Midtown Commons, Midtown Flats, St. John Studios, St. Johns West, The Joplin at Crestview Apartments or The Magnolia at Crestview) that are closer to the Crestview Station than these proposed units, which are about a mile away. Even if they were sometimes public transportation users it is inescapable that people need things and to go places. Just because they may not have a car, or a place to park their car, doesn’t mean that traffic isn’t going to exponentially increase in the area by going from twenty (20) homes to seventy-two (72). CNA Newsletter at 4. There are going to be car sharing app drivers picking them up and dropping them off, food delivery, grocery delivery and other online shopping purchases being delivered in large vans. Transient young persons, like college students, are also apt to rent out their apartments when they are away, and short term rentals are notorious for noise and other use issues that are incompatible with a family neighborhood like ours. I expect the rules to apply equally whether one is a developer with deep pockets or a regular person. When you buy a home where you plan to raise your children, maybe even allow them to ride their bike to school on their own someday, it's unimaginable that your elected officials would allow traffic on your block to almost triple overnight by changing the zoning, especially when the City of Austin’s Future Land Use Map for the 17 of 42B-5Crestview/Wooten Neighborhood Planning Area designates the tracks and 901 and 907 Stobaugh to remain single family, and for the commercial properties fronting Lamar to become mixed use. Why does the city have a long term development plan if they are going to keep making decisions that are contrary to that plan which regular people relied on when they made the largest purchase they are likely to ever make in their life? How can we trust any designation that may be made going forward? After going door to door to speak to my neighbors about this proposed project, I was surprised that most had no idea this was going on, so I requested the notice mail-out list and found that the ten (10) closest residential addresses were not on that list. This is unacceptable. I am disappointed in the city of Austin for breaking its promises to its citizens, for not having the foresight to require new developments like Mueller, The Grove and the former Huntsman Petrochemical site to be denser so that existing single family neighborhoods could be left in peace and for caring more about a single LLC’s land rights than those of every other person in the neighborhood. If density or affordability was the city’s true aim, then they would have made it a priority in every new development, and clearly that is not the case. I take being a good neighbor seriously; I believe we all should because that is how we will build a city worth calling home.
