ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: MF-2 DISTRICT: 3 CASE: C14-2022-0034 – South 3rd Street ZONING FROM: SF-3 ADDRESS: 400 feet south of the intersection of West Oltorf Street and South 3rd Street SITE AREA: 0.273 acres (11,892 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: Third Street Austin LLC (Mark Whaling) AGENT: Metcalfe, Wolff, Stuart & Williams LLP (Michele R. Lynch) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant multifamily residence – low density (MF-2) district zoning. The basis of Staff’s recommendation is provided on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 28, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 28, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Applicant has discussed this case with representatives of the Galindo Elementary Neighborhood Association. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject unplatted, undeveloped tract is located south of a driveway that extends east to South 1st Street and intersects with South 2nd and South 3rd Streets to the north, both of which extend to Oltorf Street further north. The tract is zoned family residence (SF-3) district and has been purchased by the owner of the adjacent 6 unit apartment building to the west (MF- 2) which has driveway access to South 3rd Street. There are single family residences to the north and east, and private elementary and high school facilities, and a religious assembly use to the south (LO-CO; LO-V-CO; SF-3). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). 1 of 12B-7 C14-2022-0034 Page 2 The Applicant has requested the multifamily residence – low density (MF-2) zoning district in order to facilitate redevelopment of the subject tract in conjunction with the abutting MF-2 tract to the west and build up to 18 residential units across both tracts. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The multi-family residence – low density (MF-2) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of 23 units per acre, depending on unit size and has a maximum height of 40 feet. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near single family neighborhoods or in an area for which low density multifamily use is desired. The Applicant’s proposal to prepare the tract for development of multifamily residences would be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. 2. Zoning changes should promote an orderly and compatible relationship among land uses. Based on review of the zoning map and existing land uses, Staff believes the tract is well- suited for residential development and would be compatible with the single family residences to the north and east, and the educational and religious assembly uses to the south. Under MF-2 zoning, the maximum height is 40 feet and the average density is 20 units per acre.

C14-99-0034 – Samon, James J., Jr. – 2432 S 1st St In addition to the above individual cases, several neighborhoods adopted Vertical Mixed Use Building (V) combining district and Vertical Mixed Use Overlay (VMU) for certain tracts within their neighborhood boundaries during the Opt-In process in 2007 and 2008. This includes Galindo (C14-2007-0238), which included 21 tracts along the west side of S 1st Street between Oltorf and Ben White Boulevard, and Dawson, which so designated 10 properties along the east side of S 1st St. North of Oltorf, the Bouldin Neighborhood (C14- 2007-0220) designated 25 such tracts on either side of S 1st St. For area properties in Galindo, eligible properties are exempt from dimensional standards; other typical allowances include ground-floor commercial uses for office districts, and a requirement for 10% affordable units in a vertical mixed use building.

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.

As representatives of the owner of the above stated Property we respectfully submit the attached Application for Rezoning. The Property is located at S. 3rd Street, approximately 400 feet south form its intersection with Oltorf and South 3rd street (see Location Map attached) and is zoned Family Residence (SF-3). The Application for Rezoning requests to rezone the Property Multi-Family Residence-Low Density (MF-2), to match the adjacent MF-2 zoning up to 3rd Street, which encompasses the reminder of the overall redevelopment project. The Property is within a designated neighborhood plan known as the South Lamar Combined Neighborhood Planning Area (Galindo) which does not have a City Council approved neighborhood plan and therefore a plan amendment is not required. Surrounding zoning includes Multi-Family Residence-Low Density (MF-2), General Commercial Services (CS), Neighborhood Commercial (LR), Limited Office (LO), Townhouse & Condominium Residence (SF-6), and Family Residence District (SF-3). A Traffic Impact Analysis is not required pursuant to the TIA Determination form attached to the Application for Rezoning, which has determined a total of 220 trips per day. If you have any questions about this Application for Rezoning or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience. Thank you for your time and attention to this project. Very truly yours, Michele Rogerson 221 W. 6th Street, Suite 1300, Austin, TX 78701 • 512.404.2200 • fax 512.404.2245 • www.mwswtexas.com 11 of 12B-7 ZONING EXHIBIT 12 of 12B-7
