Box 1088 Austin, Texas 78767 RE: Site Plan Extension Request To Whom It May Concern: This summary letter has been included for your review of the Commerce Center South Section Two Site Plan Extension application. The Commerce Center South Section Two Site Plan consists of 30.038 Acres of land described as the Amended Plat of Lots 3-7, Block D, Commerce Center South Section Two. The property is located at 5813-6009 ½ Trade Center Drive in Austin, Travis County, Texas. It is a designated part of the City of Austin’s Full Purpose Jurisdiction and is currently zoned as Limited Industrial. Site Plan Number SP-2014-0320C was approved on May 29, 2015, and a one year extension granted on August 1, 2018 resulting in a current expiration date of May 29, 2019. All public improvements associated with this site plan have been constructed and accepted by the City of Austin. All onsite infrastructure including water, wastewater, storm drain, detention and water quality facilities have been completed and 5 of the 6 proposed buildings have been completed. The pad site for Building 5 remains vacant and the owner is aggressively seeking interest from prospective build to suit tenants. Although the site development permit has been active since 2015, Stream Realty Partners only just closed on this property in 2019. Following the purchase, Stream pursued a build to suit tenant to occupy the space but was not able to secure a contract prior to the Covid-19 outbreak. Since the beginning of the pandemic, economic and social impacts forced a halt on all of Stream’s new Austin developments until 2022. Streams now intends to move forward with this project as a speculative build and are currently going through the selection review process for architects and contractors for the project. Therefore, as of this date construction could not be intiated prior to the permit expiration. As this is the last phase of construction associated with this site plan, and all other necessary improvements are in place to support this pad site, on behalf of the current owner we respectfully request a 3-year extension be granted per Section 25-5-63 of the Land Devleopment Code. If you have any questions regarding this project, or should you require additional information to assist you in your review of this project, please contact me at 327-2946.
