ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 TO: MF-4-NP CASE: C14-2022-0017 Hudson Place ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP ADDRESS: 5711, 5801, 5805, 5809, 5813, 5817, 5901, and 5909 Hudson Street SITE AREA: 8.56 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Hudson Development, LLC (Philip Jalufka) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not support the requested rezoning to MF-4-NP. Staff supports an alternate recommendation of MF-3-NP. AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Alice Glasco) For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 24, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 9B-13 C14-2022-0017 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. The Applicant is amenable to staff’s recommendation of MF-3-NP. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the south side of Hudson Street approximately 1500 feet west of Ed Bluestein Boulevard. The rezoning tract is zoned SF-3-NP and is comprised of multiple lots. The lots include one single family residence and a mix of undeveloped and commercial properties. SF-3-NP properties are located to the south and west are developed with single family residences. A single family property to the east is developed with a commercial land use. Further to the east are properties zoned GR-MU-NP and CS-NP that include undeveloped lots and lots developed with automotive repair and vehicle storage land uses. Across Hudson Street to the north are properties zoned CS-MU-NP, LI-NP, IP-NP that are developed with a mix of land uses including automotive repair services, plant nursery, and religious assembly. Northwest of the subject property are SF-3-NP zoned residential properties and a P-NP property that contains Travis County International Cemetery. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff does not support the requested MF-4-NP zoning at this location and supports MF-3-NP as an alternate recommendation. The scale of MF-3-NP zoning is more appropriate for a multifamily development that is surrounded by single family residential properties on three sides. Multifamily zoning at this location will increase the number of housing units in the area and increase the mix of housing options. This reflects priorities outlined in the Council adopted Strategic Housing Blueprint. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. Council. 2. Council or Planning Commission. 3. development intensities. 4. opportunities or providing for affordable housing. EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Zoning should promote a transition between adjacent and nearby zoning districts, land uses, and Zoning should promote clearly-identified community goals, such as creating employment The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Site North South East ZONING SF-3-NP SF-3-NP, P-NP, CS- MU-NP, LI-NP, IP-NP SF-3-NP SF-3-NP, GR-MU-NP, CS-NP SF-3-NP LAND USES Single family residential, Undeveloped, Commercial Single family residential, Cemetery, Automotive repair services, Undeveloped, Plant nursery, Religious assembly Single family residential Commercial, Undeveloped, Automotive repair services, Vehicle storage Single family residential West NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING AREA: East MLK Combined NP (MLK-183) 2 of 9B-13 C14-2022-0017 3 TIA: Deferred to time of site plan, if required.

(pgs 24-25) - MLK NP Design Guidelines • Guideline 2.1: Multi-family buildings less than 100 feet in width on any street-facing side are more in keeping with the scale of the neighborhood. Building facades that express the interior organization of suites or structural bays relate better to the scale of single-family houses. Goal Two - Promote a mix of land uses that respect and enhance the existing neighborhood and address compatibility between residential, commercial, and industrial uses. (p 44) Goal Five - Provide housing that helps maintain the social and economic diversity of residents.
