ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2023-0117 (Heflin Housing) DISTRICT: 1 ADDRESS: 5106 and 5108 Heflin Lane ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP TO: MF-3-NP SITE AREA: approximately 0.49 acres (approximately 21,344 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: Himount Partnership Group, LTD AGENT: Thrower Design, LLC (Victoria Haase) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff does not support the Applicant’s request of multifamily residence-medium density-neighborhood plan (MF-3-NP) combining district zoning for this property and offers an alternate recommendation of townhouse and condominium residence-neighborhood plan (SF-6-NP) combining district zoning. See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 13, 2024: Planning Commission is scheduled to hear this case. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract is currently undeveloped land. It is located on the north side of Heflin Lane, approximately 170 feet west of where Fort Branch Creek intersects with Heflin Lane. It is approximately 1/3 mile from the intersection of East Martin Luther King Boulevard and Springdale Boulevard, both Imagine Austin Activity Corridors. It is approximately 300 feet from the intersection of Heflin Lane and Webberville Road, where there is a Capital Metro Bus Stop for the Local #18 route. The property immediately to the north is also vacant land, which was rezoned SF-6-NP in 2020 (see C14-2020-0022 in area case histories section below. To the west, south and east are a mix of smaller/older and larger/newer single-family homes and a duplex. 1 of 1106 C14-2023-0117 - Heflin Housing; District 1C14-2023-0117 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. Multifamily residence-medium density-neighborhood plan (MF-3-NP) combining district zoning would not promote compatibility with the surrounding predominantly family residence- neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) combining district zoning neighborhood which extends approximately 1/3 mile to the east and west and approximately 1 ½ miles to the south. A precedent has been established to grant townhouse and condominium residence-neighborhood plan (SF-6-NP) combining district zoning without a buffer in specific areas of the neighborhood, per the neighborhood plan, however multifamily residence-medium density- neighborhood plan (MF-3-NP) combining district zoning has only been granted on major roadways, or at intersections of major roadways. Such as along East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard (an ASMP level 3) to the north, at the intersection of Tannehill Lane and Webberville Road (both ASMP level 2) and at the intersection of Webberville Road and Heflin Lane (both ASMP level 2). Zoning should promote the policy of locating retail and more intensive zoning near the intersections of arterial roadways or at the intersections of arterials and major collectors. As stated above, staff’s recommendation is consistent with the practice of locating multifamily zoning near the intersections of arterial roadways or at the intersections of arterials and major collectors. Zoning should promote a transition between adjacent and nearby zoning districts, land uses, and development intensities. Staff’s recommendation for SF-6-NP is consistent with the previously rezoned, larger parcel (approximately 5.11 acres compared to 0.49 acres) to the north of the subject tract. MF-3-NP would not provide an adequate transition between it and adjacent SF-3-NP land uses. Granting MF-3-NP midblock would make it difficult to provide a transition given more intense uses on surrounding corridors. EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: ZONING Site North SF-3-NP SF-6-NP LAND USES Undeveloped land Undeveloped land (rezoned in 2020 C14-2020-0022, see area case histories section).

The subject tract is legally platted as Lots 2- 3, Block 1 of the Flournoy and Schorre Subdivision and is comprised of 0.49 acres. The land is located within the MLK-183 Neighborhood Planning Area and within Council District 1, represented by Natasha Harper-Madison. The subject tract has a Future Land Use designation of Single Family and is zoned SF-3-NP. The request is to amend the Future Land Use designation to Multifamily and to rezone the property to MF-3-NP. The property is undeveloped today and offers opportunity for infill, missing middle development with quick access to existing transit service and within 300 ft of a bus stop. Further, the property is about a ¼ mile from two Imagine Austin Activity Corridors at the intersection of E. MLK Boulevard and Springdale Road. We respectfully request support for the requests made. Please contact our office should you have need for additional information. Thank you for your time and attention to this application. September 11, 2023 Mrs. Lauren Middleton-Pratt Director, Planning Department City of Austin 1000 E 11th Street Austin, TX 78702 Dear Mrs. Middleton-Prat: Kind regards, Victoria Haase www.throwerdesign.com 512-998-5900 Cell 512-476-4456 Office 10 of 1106 C14-2023-0117 - Heflin Housing; District 1Public Comments Received on Heflin Housing (C14-2023-0117) Email From: Christina Vincent To: Jonathan Tomko, Maureen Meredith, EMLKCT Chair, and Adam Sharp Wednesday 01/31/2024 6:34pm Hello, I would like to register my official opposition to NPA-2023-0015.04 and C14-2023- 01117_5106 and 5108 Heflin Lane. Heflin Lane is on CapMetro bus route 18 which runs from the East to West side of Austin along the major transportation corridor MLK Blvd. Being a resident in this area, I can attest to being in a food desert with very little if any development in the past 5+ years that has any benefit whatsoever to the community. If any upzoning is to occur to properties on these main transportation corridors, it should be to mixed use (minimally) to allow for more commercial development to benefit the community. Based on my observation, upzoning from SF3 to MF provides negligible density and is simply a way for a developer/land owner with no ties to the community to benefit financially by building uninspired luxury housing that sells for higher than the median home price for the entire metropolitan Austin area. Thrower Designs refers to themselves as "land planners" and herein lies the issue. They are looking only at a specific piece of land and how to maximize the financial gain for their client. They are not community planners nor do they have any interest in adding benefit to the community. This rezoning and neighborhood plan amendment does not benefit the community and should therefore not be supported or approved. Sincerely, Cristina Vincent 11 of 1106 C14-2023-0117 - Heflin Housing; District 1
