ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 2 TO: SF-3-NP CASE: C14-2022-0013 – 5410-5504 Viewpoint Drive ZONING FROM: SF-2-NP ADDRESS: 5410, 5412, 5500, 5502, and 5504 Viewpoint Drive SITE AREA: 1.59 acres OWNERS / APPLICANTS: Jason Martin and Marshall Fleniken AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Leah Bojo) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) combining district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 22, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be scheduled ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject five platted, undeveloped lots are located along Viewpoint Drive east of its intersection with Nuckols Crossing Road, and zoned single family residence - standard lot – neighborhood plan (SF-2-NP) district. Viewpoint Drive is one of two primary access points for single family residences in the Viewpoint at Williamson Creek Phases I and II subdivision (which includes the Los Arboles HOA) to the south (SF-2-NP). There are large heavily treed, undeveloped tracts on the north side of Viewpoint Drive and the St. Elmo Tributary of Williamson Creek is further north (SF-2-NP; SF-2-CO-NP; DR-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial Exhibit), and B (Recorded Replat). The Applicant has requested family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) district zoning in order to build either two-family residences or duplexes on the lots. 1 of 11B-8 C14-2022-0013 Page 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single-family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. A two-family residence allows for one single family residence, plus a second detached unit not to exceed 1,100 square feet or a floor-to-area ratio of 0.15 : 1, whichever is smaller on each lot. The detached unit is limited to 2 stories or 30 feet in height, and 550 square feet on the second story, if any. A duplex use that is designated in an SF-3 district is subject to development standards that maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. 2. The requested SF-3-NP zoning would allow for up to two residential units on the property. Staff recommends the Applicant’s request because the property meets the intent of the SF-3 district as it fronts on a local residential street and is located within an existing single family residential neighborhood. EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses.

The City’s Land Development Code and Drainage Criteria Manual require that the Applicant demonstrate through engineering analysis that the proposed development will have no identifiable adverse impact on surrounding properties. Environmental The site is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is in the Williamson Creek Watershed of the Colorado River Basin, which is classified as a Suburban Watershed by Chapter 25-8 of the City's Land Development Code. The site is in the Desired Development Zone. Under current watershed regulations, development or redevelopment on this site will be subject to the following impervious cover limits: Development Classification % of Gross Site Area % of Gross Site Area Single-Family (minimum lot size 5750 sq. ft.) Other Single-Family or Duplex Multifamily Commercial 50% 55% 60% 80% with Transfers 60% 60% 70% 90% According to floodplain maps there is a floodplain within or adjacent to the project location. Based upon the location of the floodplain, offsite drainage should be calculated to determine whether a Critical Water Quality Zone exists within the project location.> Standard landscaping and tree protection will be required in accordance with LDC 25-2 and 25-8 for all development and/or redevelopment. At this time, site specific information is unavailable regarding vegetation, areas of steep slope, or other environmental features such as bluffs, springs, canyon rimrock, caves, sinkholes, and wetlands. Under current watershed regulations, development or redevelopment requires water quality control with increased capture volume and control of the 2-year storm on site. Impervious Cover The maximum impervious cover allowed by the SF-3-NP zoning district would be 45%, which is based on the more restrictive zoning regulations. 6 of 11B-8 C14-2022-0013 Page 7 PARD – Planning & Design Review Parkland dedication will be required for the new residential units proposed by this development, single family with SF-3 zoning, 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. 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. Site Plan and Compatibility Standards Site plans will be required for any new development other than single-family or duplex residential. Any new development is subject to Subchapter E. Design Standards and Mixed Use. Additional comments will be made when the site plan is submitted. Rezoning from SF-2-NP to SF-3-NP does not trigger the application of compatibility standards. The applicable building standards are outlined below: Breakdown by square footage for living area/garage/patio/porch is required on duplex residential site plans. Setbacks for duplex residential: • Anything that juts more than 5 feet into a setback must be fireproofed. Standard side setback is 5 feet with a maximum allowable 2-foot overhang. The overhang cannot have any openings, soffit vents, windows, etc. • Setbacks between buildings is 10 feet (5 feet on each side). Any encroachment into this setback must be fireproofed. • Nothing can encroach into a 2-foot setback. Transportation 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. 7 of 11B-8 C14-2022-0013 Page 8 Austin Water Utility 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. Depending on the development plans submitted, water and or wastewater service extension requests may be required. All water and wastewater construction must be inspected by the City of Austin. 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.
