ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2022-0031 – Remove Vehicular Access Restriction DISTRICT: 7 to Morrow Street ZONING FROM / TO: TOD-NP, to change a condition of zoning ADDRESS: Intersection of Easy Wind Drive and Morrow Street SITE AREA: 32.63 acres APPLICANT: City of Austin – Housing and Planning Department CASE MANAGER: Andrei Lubomudrov (512-974-7659) Andrei.lubomudrov@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to approve the zoning change to transit oriented development – neighborhood plan (TOD-NP) combining district zoning, to remove the vehicular access restriction to Morrow Street. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 10, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 9, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Crestview Neighborhood Association has requested postponement of the rezoning application. Please refer to correspondence attached at the back of the Staff report. The Applicant, in this case the City of Austin, has submitted a zoning application to remove a condition added to the Crestview TOD in 2011 to restrict vehicular access to Morrow Drive from Easy Wind Drive. The application was filed as a result of City Council direction provided in Resolution No. 20220217-037. Removing the zoning condition restricting access would ensure long-term unimpeded access to Morrow Drive from the Crestview Station area. The Austin Transportation Department recommended removal of the gate following a three- month traffic study that found opening the gate created no significant safety risks. B-61 of 30C14-2022-0031 Page 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning change removes the restriction on vehicular access to Morrow Street via Easy Wind Drive. Further changes to the Crestview Station TOD are not proposed. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The transit oriented development (TOD) district is the designation for an identified transit station and the area around it. The district provides for development that is compatible with and supportive of public transit and a pedestrian-oriented environment. Staff believes the proposed zoning is consistent with the district as it increases overall access to transit at Crestview station. The neighborhood plan (NP) district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. 2. The requested change to the TOD-NP zoning would promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses by promoting easier vehicular access to transit, housing, and commercial uses.

In 2008, the City completed the Lamar Blvd/Justin Lane TOD and the City Council adopted the plan with Ordinance #20081211-086. The Ordinance applied TOD-NP zoning to the Lamar Blvd/Justin Lane area as well as to the Crestview Station area. In 2011, City Council amended the Crestview station area TOD-NP zoning, allowing duplex uses, waiving compatibility standards within the station area, and relaxing certain site development standards. Staff at the time extended conditional support for the changes, provided that access from Crestview station to Morrow Street would be for emergency access only, closed with a gate only accessible to first responders and not open to general vehicular access. The City’s rationale for this was based on the fact that even though the PDA allowed for one thousand vehicle trips per day to Morrow Street, there was no perceived way of ensuring that that limit was not exceeded. Please refer to Exhibit B. RELATED CASES: Two related Council resolutions informed this rezoning application. They are as follows: Resolution No. 20210902-074 directed the City Traffic Engineer to perform a three-month pilot to provide vehicular access to Morrow Street by opening the gate installed on Easy Wind Drive to assess the mobility and safety implications. Staff responded in a memo on January 13, 2022, revealing results of the study and indicating that no significant safety concerns were identified as a result of opening the gate. Resolution No. 20220217-037 directed the City Manager to initiate rezoning of the property generally known as the Crestview Station Development to remove the condition prohibiting vehicular access to Morrow Street. Please refer to Exhibits C, D, and E.

Background Ordinance 20111215-077 rezoned and changed the zoning map for the property generally known as the Crestview Station Development located at 905 Banyon Street. Vehicular access to Morrow Street via Easy Wind Drive, both public streets, was prohibited via a locked gate, except for emergency vehicular use; however, bicycle and pedestrian access was allowed. Analysis To assess mobility and safety implications of the pilot, the Austin Transportation Department (ATD) completed an engineering investigation by collecting 24-hour traffic speed and volume data on Morrow Street, Easy Wind Drive, and Banyon Street, streets in the network most directly impacted by the presence of the gate. Data collection began in August 2021 with the gate closed to capture baseline conditions. ATD collected data at the same locations in October and November 2021 with the gate opened to compare results between the two scenarios. Results of the data collection are summarized in Table 1. Daily traffic volumes generally increased immediately after the gate opened but leveled off after this initial increase. The resulting volumes with the gate opened are within expected and safe ranges for these types of streets. The speed data indicates that the prevailing speeds (85th percentile) were not impacted by the increased volumes, and drivers continued to travel within reasonable conformance of the posted 25 mph speed limits. Note that some data collection results were incomplete due to equipment malfunction; however, ATD determined that the remaining valid data were consistent to accept the results of the overall collection effort. Delivering a safe, reliable, and sustainable transportation system that enhances the environment and economic strength of the region.

ATD generally does not support restricting or closing public streets when such measures do not improve safety or mobility for the greater public. Connected streets provide the public with multiple choices of travel routes, which helps reduce travel times and congestion on our street network. Safe connections also support one of the principles of the City’s Complete Streets Policy (Ordinance No 20140612-119): “2. Complete Streets require connected travel networks.” Only in unique situations will ATD recommend such measures. The closure at Easy Wind does not present such conditions. Additionally, ATD installed a sidewalk last year on the north side of Morrow Street from N. Lamar Boulevard to Watson Street. The recorded speeds, along with the existing pedestrian sidewalk, do not present a notable safety concern. Existing speed cushions on Morrow Street also serve to lower speeds on the street and improve safety. Next Steps With City Council approval, ATD will work with the Public Works Department to permanently remove the gate equipment on Easy Wind Street.

I know that a previous traffic impact analysis study indicated that opening this intersection would result in over 1,000 vehicle trips per day down Morrow St. This will exceed the threshold of traffic that would be considered safe for a residential street like Morrow. I live in the Crestview neighborhood to the West of this development where a large part of that traffic would be cutting through to other major thoroughfares. There is no reason to encourage additional thru traffic in a residential neighborhood. The traffic impact won't have changed since the initial analysis and I would like to officially lodge my opposition to this change. Please let me know if there is another way that I should be officially registering my opposition to this zoning change. Thank you.

As I mentioned yesterday, the rezoning case was filed by City staff in accordance with a City Council Resolution adopted in February 2022 directing Staff to initiate a rezoning on property that includes an access restriction from Easy Wind to Morrow Street. There is a statement in Part 3.D. of the rezoning ordinance that includes the Easy Wind / Morrow intersection and prohibits vehicular access to Morrow Street other than emergency access (see the top of page 4 of the 2011 zoning ordinance). Both the 2011 ordinance and the February 2022 Council Resolution are attached. I am inquiring with the Public Works Department about the recent removal of the physical gate at the Easy Wind / Morrow intersection.

B-621 of 30From: To: Subject: Date: Rhoades, Wendy Bill James FW: Case # C14-2022-0031 Tuesday, April 19, 2022 5:29:27 PM Dear Mr. James, I’m writing to follow up about the removal of the barricade / physical gate from Easy Wind to Morrow Street. I received the response below from Mr. Pirouz Moin, Assistant Director at the Public Works Department. Once the gate issue was discussed at Council, the Austin Transportation Department wanted to keep the gate open and do a traffic study with the gate left open. The gate was broken and on the ground – so Street and Bridge Operations staff with the Public Works Department removed the broken gate – what was left was a post in the middle of the street that was not safe. Any obstruction on or within 18” of traffic is considered a safety issue. Street and Bridge Operations staff then removed the post for safety. Without the arm and markings the post was not safe to stay in the middle of the street. If it is decided for the gate to remain and stay closed, Street and Bridge Operations staff would have to close the street in a different manner, as the old gate was cut into quite often and the last attempt broke the gate arm completely.

Should I call 311, the police? If it's not legal to be open (until the hearing) why is it open now? Please let me know who I should call to have the gate closer PER City of Austin traffic code. Once Brentwood is open next fall and those residents aren't traveling to Webb Middle School (where Brentwood is currently housed in portables) the additional traffic is going to be incredibly unsafe for children walking or biking to school along both Morrow and Woodrow where Crestview Commons residents will be driving on to access the school. The developer LIED to original buyers saying the gate would be open and it has caused an incredibly hostile neighborhood - convenience over safety. It would be absolutely ridiculous for the city to side with a greedy developer to appease buyers who bought into the neighborhood at a discount. Which if they did any research would know that the gate was NOT meant to be opened due to a traffic study prior to the builder starting the development. Do you have time for a call prior to the hearing? Thank you, Emily Cornelius Hi Emily, On Wed, 27 Apr 2022 at 18:16, Rhoades, Wendy <Wendy.Rhoades@austintexas.gov> wrote: Thank you for your email.

I'm writing regarding subject case to remove the condition to prohibit vehicle access to Morrow Street. As a local resident with young children and pets, I absolutely think this is a terrible safety risk for the neighborhood. People already speed and run stops signs along Morrow while it's bustling with young children, pets, bikers and all the pedestrians associated with the many churches and daycares which are located along Morrow Street. When Crestview Station was originally built, the city study said access to Morrow would cause too much traffic and I know that would still be the case. I ask that you please reconsider adding additional traffic along an already busy area that is putting tax paying residents at risk. Thank you for your time.
