PLANNING COMMISSION SITE PLAN VARIANCE REQUEST AND DOWNTOWN DENSITY BONUS REVIEW SHEET CASE NUMBER: SPC-2021-0129C PC DATE: 02/22/22 COUNCIL DISTRICT: 9 PROJECT NAME: Rainey Tower ADDRESS OF APPLICATION: 80 Rainey St Variance request: The applicant is requesting the removal of a Heritage tree with a stem greater than 30 inches as allowed under LDC 25-8-643. Downtown Density Bonus: The applicant is requesting a recommendation to the City Council on a request for additional floor to area ratio (FAR) from 15:1 to 20:1 for a proposed multi-family high rise project that has participated in the Downtown Density Bonus Program and is processing a request for bonus area up to 15:1 FAR to be granted administratively. APPLICANT: AGENT: Ashland Rainey LLC & EW Renovating Rainey LLC 165 W 73rd St, New York City, New York 10023 Wuest Group 5207 Airport Blvd Austin, Texas, 78751 (512) 394-1900 Drenner Group (Amanda Swor) 200 Lee Barton Dr. Sute 100 Austin, TX 78704 Phone: (512) 974-2711 Renee.Johns@austintexas.gov CASE MANAGER: Renee Johns EXISTING ZONING: CBD NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN: NA/Downtown PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is proposing a 49 story multi use building in the Rainey District. The uses will include Administrative and Business Offices, Restaurant (limited), Multi-Family, and a Cocktail Lounge (conditional use that will go before PC at a later date). The development will also include associated drives, onsite parking, and utility improvements. COMMISION REQUESTS: DESCRIPTION OF VARIANCE The variance request is to allow removal of a Heritage tree with a stem greater than 30 inches as allowed under LDC 25-8-643. The applicant requested a predevelopment site consultation with the City Arborist. There are currently two protected trees and three Heritage trees on site. One Protected tree and one Heritage tree are proposed to be removed. A 32.5 inch Heritage pecan is requested for removal and per Land Development Code would require a Land Use Commission variance. 1 of 23DOWNTOWN DENSITY BONUS In accordance with LDC Section 25-2-586(B)(6), the applicant requests the Planning Commission’s recommendation to the City Council on a request for additional floor to area ratio (FAR) from 15:1 to 20:1 for a proposed multi-family high rise project that has participated in the Downtown Density Bonus Program and is processing a request for bonus area up to 15:1 FAR to be granted administratively. The applicant requests a recommendation from the Planning Commission to the City Council on the use of the other community benefits in accordance with LDC Section 25-2-586(E)(1)-(11) and Section 25-2-586(E)(12(f). SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: VARIANCE: Staff also recommends removal of the tree due to the applicant demonstrating that the tree prevents reasonable use of the site. Based upon tree location, zoning, site characteristics, and the proposed use, the City Arborist believes the applicant has provided sufficient evidence that LDC 25-8-624(A)(2) has been met. Further there do not appear to be any waivers, variances, or modifications of code that would allow development concurrent with the preservation of the tree. The Environmental Criteria Manual standard is 300% mitigation. Mitigation for this site shall be addressed by further enhancing the streetscape planting conditions. The applicant has proposed a menu of options that support greater tree health and longevity such as structural soil cells, permeable paving, and continuous planting beds. DOWNTOWN DENSITY BONUS: Staff supports the recommendation of the additional FAR based on the development meeting the Gatekeeper Requirements, providing community benefits, and receiving a recommendation from the Downtown Design Commission. The applicant has provided sufficient documentation to meet the Gatekeeper Requirements contained in Section 25-2-586(C)(1):  The applicant has committed to providing streetscape improvements consistent with the Great Streets Standards.  The applicant has committed to achieve a Three-Star rating under the Austin Energy Green Building Program, which exceeds the minimum requirement of Two-Stars  The applicant has provided documentation indicating substantial compliance with the Urban Design Guidelines. The applicant seeks a total “Bonus Area” (defined by Section 25-2-586(A)(1) as “the gross floor area that exceeds the maximum floor-to-area ratio allowed with the site’s primary entitlements”) of 8:1 FAR and administrative allowance of 15:1 FAR  12.0 FAR: Fee-in-lieu payment of $1,204.575 for affordable housing. o $720,350 (8:1 to 15:1 FAR) o $331,923 (15:1 TO 22:1 FAR) Thus, the applicant has met the requirement of Section 25-2-586(B)(3)(d)(1) of offering community benefits “above” those offered to achieve the 15.0 FAR allowed in Figure 2. Section 25-2-586(B)(6) does not provide any specific criteria upon which to base a staff recommendation with respect to a request to exceed by 5.0 FAR the maximum FAR of 15.0 identified in 25-2-586(B)(3) and Figure 2. In the absence of specific criteria, staff’s recommendation was arrived at as follows. 2 of 23Section 25-2-586(E)(1)  6,628 square feet (On site provision above 15:1) On-site affordable housing is being provided.  A Fee-In-Lieu in the amount of $331,923 will be provided to the affordable housing fund. This amount is specific to achieve the FAR above the 15:1 administrative limit. An amount of $720,350 will also be provided to the afforded housing fund to go beyond the 8:1 Rainey district allowance the Parks and Recreation Board.” Recommendation from OTHER COMMISION RECOMMENDATIONS: ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Per 25-2-625 (E)(4) “The Land Use Commission may not consider a site plan until it receives a recommendation from the Environmental Commission for heritage tree removal on site received on 1/19/2022 and included in backup. DESIGN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Recommendation from the Design Commission that proposed development meets the gatekeeper requirements outlined in LDC 25-2-586C received on December 20, 2021 and included in backup.

Dear Ms. Truelove: On behalf of the property owners, 80 Rainey Street Owner, LLC (“Owner”), please accept this letter and supporting documentation as a true and complete submittal application for the DDBP for the property located at 78-84 Rainey Street in the City of Austin, Travis County, Texas (the “Property”). The Owner is seeking to develop the Property with a 49-story residential multifamily tower with pedestrian oriented uses in the basement, ground floor, second floor and 11th floor amenity level consisting of 482,317 square feet of residential habitable space and 15,280 square feet of bar, restaurant, café and amenity space at the levels at, below and above the street level and amenity level. The total gross square footage of the project is projected to be approximately 564,979 square feet. The site development permit application associated with this project is SPC-2021- 0129C. The Property is located within the Rainey Street subdistrict of the Waterfront Overlay which limits the maximum height to 40 feet. Per the site development regulations of the Rainey Street subdistrict, this height limitation may be exceeded to a base floor-to-area ratio (“FAR”) of 8:1, if 5% of on-site affordable housing is reserved for households earning no more than 80% of the Austin area Median Family Income (MFI). Upon complying with the Waterfront Overlay regulations in order to achieve the 8:1 FAR, participation in the Downtown Density Bonus Program will allow the Property to develop up to 15:1 FAR with unlimited height. The gross site area for the Property is 28,814 square feet resulting in a base entitlement of 230,512 square feet. 11 of 23Section 25-2-586(B)(6) of the Land Development Code allows a development to exceed the maximum FAR established in the Downtown Density Bonus Program by providing additional community benefits and with review and approval by the City Council. This project will seek a maximum FAR of 20:1. The Property is situated in the Rainey Street District of the Downtown Austin Plan, is zoned Central Business District (“CBD”). To achieve the bonus FAR, the project will meet the Gatekeeper Requirements as provided in Section 25-2-586 of the City of Austin Land Development Code (Downtown Density Bonus Program). Streetscape and sidewalk improvements proposed along Rainey Street are consistent with Great Streets Standards. In addition, the owner intends to improve the grade and sidewalk at the adjacent property located at 86 Rainey Street with Great Streets enhancements. The Owner intends to exceed the minimum two-star rating under the Austin Energy Green Building (“AEGB”) program and will seek a three-star rating under the AEGB program. The redevelopment will also achieve substantial compliance with the City of Austin Urban Design Guidelines. To assist in the evaluation of this project, a detailed matrix is included with this submission which demonstrates how the project supports individual goals and objectives of the guidelines. The location of the project supports the utilization of multimodal transportation options for residents, the community, and employees. There are several Capital Metro bus stops and an Austin B-cycle station located within ¼-mile of the Property; a map of the bus stops and B-Cycle station is included with this submission. We respectfully request that the project be reviewed by the City of Austin Design Commission on its merits within the context of the Urban Design Guidelines in order to provide City Staff with feedback and advice in order to qualify for the Downtown Density Bonus Program. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you or your team have any further questions.

WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes the tree requested to be removed is a 32.5 inch Heritage pecan. WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes the City Arborist rates the pecan as Fair condition; poor structure; and has a history of large previous failures and damage to the present building. WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes that the Environmental Criteria Manual standard is 300% mitigation, and mitigation for the site shall be addressed by further enhancing the streetscape planting conditions required under the UNO Great Streets program. The applicant has proposed a menu of options that support greater tree health and longevity such as structural soil cells, permeable paving, and expanded continuous planting beds. WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes the applicant is proposing a five years tree care plan to provide ongoing maintenance for all new trees, and one-time improvements to additional streetscape trees and tree grates as needed and identified. WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes that the request meets the City Arborist’s approval criteria set forth in LDC 25-8-624(A)(2), and thus the variance is recommended by staff. THEREFORE, the Environmental Commission recommends the requested variance request with the following: Environmental Commission Conditions: 1. Implement a thorough 5-year tree care and maintenance plan at the cost of approximately $13,600 to increase tree viability over time for the eight (8) planted trees (monitor, water, fertilize, prune, etc.). 2. Implement a 5-year tree care plan for the three (3) preserved Protected and Heritage trees at the cost of approximately $12,900 to increase tree viability through construction and post-construction (monitor, water, fertilize, etc.). 3. Tree #2145 and maintaining for 5 years, which is approximately between $150,000 – $170,000. This cost is in addition to the tree removal mitigation costs in code which are approximately $21,000 13 of 23(depending upon tree health valuation by staff), which we propose be used in on-site streetscape improvements. Therefore, we are proposing to provide an approximate total of $171,000 - $191,000 of improvements in lieu of preserving Tree #2145 for comprehensive and enhanced viability improvements to the pedestrian streetscape and paseo. 4. Ensure perpetual care of the remaining trees on the property.
