ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 TO: SF-5-NP CASE: C14-2022-0052 E. 12th - Fuentes ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP ADDRESS: 3337 East 12th Street SITE AREA: 0.16 acres (6,969.60 sq.ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Ethos Modular, LLC (Andres Esquivel) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request of SF-5-NP. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. AGENT: Land Answers, Inc. (Jim Wittliff) PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 23, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 29, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2022-0052 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. The requested rezoning would allow the property owner to build 2 residential units on the property without being limited by the maximum building square footage of City Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) regulations. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located at the southwest corner of East 12th Street and Greenwood Avenue, approximately 770 feet east of Airport Boulevard. The SF-3-NP zoned lot is currently developed with one single family residence. Properties to the west, south and east are also zoned SF-3-NP and developed with single family residential land uses. Further west, closer to the intersection with Airport Boulevard are properties zoned LR-MU-NP, CS-MU-NP and CS-1-NP. These properties are developed with a mix of land uses, including religious assembly, automotive repair services, liquor sales, professional office and cocktail lounge. Across East 12th Street to the north is Evergreen Cemetery, zoned P- Public. Also across East 12th Street, to the northeast, is another residential neighborhood zoned SF-3-NP. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the rezoning request. While SF-3-NP zoning allows a single family house and an ADU, the ADU is limited to a maximum of 1,100 square feet. The lot is larger than the standard 5,750 square foot lot, but is not large enough to permit duplex residential land use (7,000 square feet). Redeveloping this oversized residential lot to allow two residences would allow a reasonable increase in development intensity and provide an additional housing unit. The property’s location at the intersection of East 12th and Greenwood Avenue, a residential collector street, is also appropriate. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. 2. 3. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses and should not result in detrimental impacts to the neighborhood character. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. 4.
