ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2021-0034 (MOD 53.5) DISTRICT: 4 ADDRESS: 901, 903, 905 E 53rd 1/2 Street ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP TO: MF-6-NP MF-2-CO-NP* *On November 16, 2021, the applicant submitted a letter amending the rezoning request to MF-2-NP (please see Applicant’s Amendment Request – Exhibit E). The applicant added a proposed conditional overlay on January 27, 2022 to limit the building height on the property to a maximum of 35 feet and to limit the number of residential units to a maximum of 13 units (please see Proposed Conditional Overlay - Exhibit F). SITE AREA: 0.7481 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Timmermann Properties, North Loop Rentals, LP (Barth Timmermann) AGENT: Land Use Solutions (Michele Haussmann) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MF-2-CO-NP, Multifamily Residence-Low Density-Conditional Overlay-Neighborhood Plan Combining district zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: December 14, 2021: Postponed to February 8, 2022 at the applicant’s request (11-0, J. Shieh- absent), A. Azhar-1st, R. Schneider-2nd. February 8, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 18B-13C14-2021-0034 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question consists of three lots that are developed with single-family residences. The lots to the north, south and east are also developed with single family homes and zoned SF-3-NP. The tract of land to the west contains office/commercial uses zoned LR- MU. In this case, the applicant is requesting MF-2-NP zoning to develop for sale condominium residences (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C and Applicant’s Amendment Request – Exhibit D). The staff recommends MF-2-CO-NP, Multifamily Residence-Low Density-Conditional Overlay-Neighborhood Plan Combining district, zoning. The property in question is consistent with the intent of the MF-2 district as it is located near single family uses where low density multifamily residential uses are desired to provide for a mixture of housing opportunities. MF-2-CO-NP zoning will allow for a transition in the intensity of uses along East 53 ½ Street from the LR-MU zoning to the west to the SF-3-NP zoning to the east. The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan supports a variety of housing types throughout Austin, and the staff believes that the proposed residential zoning is consistent with the goals in the comprehensive plan. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Multifamily Residence (Low Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of up to 23 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near single- family neighborhoods, and in selected areas where low density multifamily use is desirable. Conditional Overlay combining district may be applied in combination with any base district. The district is intended to provide flexible and adaptable use or site development regulations by requiring standards tailored to individual properties. Neighborhood Plan district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. 2 of 18B-13C14-2021-0034 3 2. 3. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses and should not result in detrimental impacts to the neighborhood character. The proposed MF-2-CO-NP zoning will provide for a transition in the intensity of uses along East 53 ½ Street from the commercial/LR-MU zoning to the west to the low intensity residential/SF-3-NP zoning to the east. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. Granting the proposed zoning would be in keeping with the Neighborhood Plan and the goals of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. A portion of this property is located within the Highland Mall Station Regional Center as designated by the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan.

The Property consists of 0.7481 acres and is in the North Loop Neighborhood Plan (“NLNP”). The Applicant is requesting a NPA and rezoning of the Property to allow for the development of an infill project consisting of fourteen (14) for sale condominium units known as MOD 53.5. The units are 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathrooms, include attached two car garage, and limited to three stories/35 feet height. The Applicant is requesting a NPA from Single Family to Mixed Use and a rezoning from SF-3-NP to MF-6-CO-NP. Please see the enclosed aerials, neighborhood plan, zoning map and example images of the proposed condominium development for your review. The Recommendation Criteria and Land Use Planning Principles will be provided in a separate document. The following are the details of the requests: 901, 903, 905 E 53rd ½ Street District 4 Council Member Greg Casar 0.7481 acres Address: District: Acreage: Existing Land Use: Single Family Proposed Use: Mixed Use Existing Zoning: Proposed Zoning: MF-6-CO-NP SF-3-NP 10 of 18B-13The NPA complies with applicable regulations and standards established by Title 25, the objectives of Chapter 25-2 and the purposes of the zoning district proposed for the Property. The MF-6-CO-NP zoning district includes a Conditional Overlay that limits the height, lot size, setbacks, and building coverage to the MF- 3 zoning district to ensure compatibility with the adjacent commercial development to the west, office and multifamily to the northwest (Travis Flats) and the surrounding single family. The proposed condominium development will comply with compatibility standards. The proposed MF-6-CO-NP and condominium development are permitted in the Mixed Use land use designation. The proposed MF-6-CO-NP zoning with MF-3 zoning scale and design is consistent and compatible with the surrounding zoning and land uses. The proposed Multifamily and MF-6-CO-NP provide a transition from the Mixed Use and LR-CO-NP zoning to the west, Mixed Use and CS-V-CO-NP zoning to the northwest and the surrounding Single Family and SF-3-NP zoning. The adjacent property to the west is developed with a commercial building. The property to the northwest is owned by Travis County, developed with Travis County commercial facilities, and the portion of the property closest to the Property is being redeveloped as a four story 146 unit affordable housing community and a three story 83,529 square foot office building with a coffee shop known as Travis Flats (SP-2018-0312C.SH). The NLNP calls for smaller scale, but higher density development, such as condominiums, and additional opportunities for housing choice through small scale multifamily. Housing choice and diversity were important themes of the NLNP vision. The proposed condominium development is an alternative choice to single family and apartment living. No units above or below, 1,500-1,600 square feet, 2 bedroom 2.5 bathroom, attached 2 car garages, limited to 3 stories/35 feet height, and located within walking distance of transit and commercial services. The condominiums are for sale units creating opportunity for homeownership. A portion of the Property located at 901 E 53 ½ Street is located in the Highland Mall Station Regional Center established by the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The other two lots included in the request are adjacent to the Highland Mall Station Regional Center. The infill condominium units will be located within one mile from the Highland Mall Station Red Line.

As always, we remain excited about the prospect of adding well-planned density to the neighborhood plan area and believe that the Department’s approval of this request will facilitate the same. We do want to note that this needed addition of multi-family housing will result in the removal of a playground currently located on the applicant’s site and used by Child Inc., a day care located next door to the site. We fully support the applicant’s request and understand the need to remove the playground to accommodate the proposed development. The benefits of the proposed development are clear. However, we want to specifically highlight this issue in our letter of support to underscore the need for the City to support our neighborhood schools and childcare facilities as more young families relocate to the area. The neighborhood plan area has a substantial need for more public park space and playgrounds for the increasing number of children that live here. We hope that the City will continue to support and facilitate well-planned developments such as the applicant’s while considering these needs and adding public park space and playgrounds to our neighborhood to ensure a high quality of life for both existing residents and new. Thank you for your attention to this letter.
