PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 8, 2022 Scheduled for Planning Commission January 25, 2022 Approved Planning Commission’s postponement to February 8, 2022 on the consent agenda.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be Scheduled for City Council ISSUES No known issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed Restrictive Covenant Termination (RCT) area is approximately 12.04 acres in size and is part of a larger tract currenting being requested to be rezoned from PUD-NP to PUD-NP, to change the conditions of zoning, please see Zoning Case No. C814-89-0003.02. This tract was rezoned from “L” (Lake Development, Second Height and Area) to “C” (Commercial, Second Height and Area) in 1978. As a condition of that rezoning case, a 1 of 8B-7C14-78-189(RCT) 2 restrictive covenant (RC) was created. This RC included restrictions to permitted land uses and special use permits as they existed in the City of Austin’s zoning ordinance as of November 1, 1978; and dedication of a perpetual 15-foot-wide public pedestrian and bicycle easement (to be recorded by a separate metes and bounds instrument). The applicant is requesting to terminate this RC in conjunction with rezoning case C814-89- 0003.02 and neighborhood plan amendment case NPA-2019-0022.02. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends terminating this restrictive covenant. This RC references land uses, and special use permits which date back to a previous version of the city’s land development code. Additionally, the requirement to dedicate a public access easement for the hike and bike trail has been fulfilled and if the requested zoning from C814-89-0003.02 is approved by City Council, this trail would be included in the area dedicated by deed for parkland.

The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan is a long-range planning and policy document, which is broad in scope, and the review of a restricted covenant is not under the purview of the plan and thus no review comments are being submitted. PARD Review PR1. This Restrictive Covenant (RC) was recorded in 1978 and referred to the proposed development of the Austin American Statesman property. Part 7 of the RC refers to a pedestrian and bicycle easement and requires its recordation. As specified, a bike and pedestrian easement roughly parallel to the shoreline of Town Lake / Lady Bird Lake was recorded, is now protected parkland, and contains the Butler Hike and Bike Trail. Therefore, the park-related obligation within this RC has been fulfilled and PARD finds no issue with the termination of the RC. Site Plan SP 1. There are no Site Plan concerns with terminating the restrictive covenant.
