ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: LO-MU-CO-DB90-NP DISTRICT: 10 CASE: C14-2024-0059 – 1809 W. 35th Street ADDRESS: 1809 West 35th Street ZONING FROM: LO-MU-CO-NP SITE AREA: 0.27 acres PROPERTY OWNER: MEA Real Estate Ventures, LLC (Mehrdad Ebrahimi) AGENT: Thrower Design LLC (Ron Thrower and Victoria Haase) CASE MANAGER: Marcelle Boudreaux (512-974-8094, marcelle.boudreaux@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant limited office district - mixed use – conditional overlay - density bonus 90 - neighborhood plan (LO-MU-CO-DB90-NP) combining district zoning. The Conditional Overlay require compliance with the following regulations: 1) For any commercial permitted uses on the Properly that include an outdoor seating area elevated above one story or 15 feet as measured from ground level, the elevated seating area is limited to 2,500 square feet. This condition shall not apply to residential uses. 2) A 5-foot wide vegetative buffer shall be provided and maintained along the south property lines. Any trees planted in the vegetative buffer shall be compatible with utilities and have a spacing of 20 feet. Improvements permitted within the vegetative buffer area are limited to drainage, underground utility improvements, or those improvements that may be otherwise required by the City of Austin or specifically authorized in this ordinance. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 2024: May 14, 2024: APPROVED STAFF POSTPONEMENT TO MAY 28, 2024, BY CONSENT. [A. AZHAR; A. HAYNES -2nd] (9-0) P. HOWARD, J. MUSHTALER, R. JOHNSON, A. WOODS – ABSENT Case number C14-2024-0059 Page 2 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 18, 2024: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: In December 2023, Ordinance No. 20220609-080, Ordinance No. 20221201-056 and Ordinance No. 20221201-055 were invalidated. On March 11, 2024, Ordinance No. 20240229-073, was enacted to create the “DB90” combining district, which amended City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to create a new zoning district for a density bonus program that grants 30 feet in height above the base zoning district, to a maximum of 90 feet, and modifies site development regulations including compatibility standards. Subsequently, the applicant submitted a rezoning application to request the -DB90 combining district, in order for the City to continue review of site plan. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the south side of West 35th Street between Oakmont Boulevard and Jefferson Street, which is a Core Transit Corridor. The property is currently developed with a retail store and one residential unit. Properties to the west are developed with personal services and retail (LR-NP). East of the property are a mix of personal repair services, medical offices, multifamily and financial services (LR-NP; LO-NP; CS-NP). South of the rezoning tract is a residential neighborhood zoned SF-3-NP. Across West 35th Street to the north are properties developed with personal services, retail, medical office, multifamily and retail land use (LO; LR; and MF-3). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial View). The applicant is requesting limited office – mixed use – conditional overlay - density bonus 90 - NP (LO-MU-CO-DB90-NP) combining district for a proposed development that would include multi-family units requiring an affordable component. A building constructed under density bonus 90 (–DB90) standards allows for a mix of residential uses and commercial uses, and the result is typically retail, restaurants and offices on the ground floor, and residential units on upper levels. The overall project would consist of 10 residential units. The conditions establishing development regulations in the Conditional Overlay for case number C14-2022-0021, which rezoned the site from LR-NP to LO-MU-CO-NP per Ordinance No. 20200901-114, are recommended to be maintained in this new rezoning. A development utilizing the “density bonus 90” incentives is permitted with a base LO district, and must include an affordability component for residential use in order to obtain incentives, including height maximum of 70 feet in the LO district (40 feet base plus 30 feet incentive) and relaxation of development and compatibility standards, such as FAR, setbacks Case number C14-2024-0059 Page 3 and building coverage. There are several methods of satisfying DB90 development affordability requirements. There are two options for projects including rental units: 1) a minimum of 12% of the rental units in a building are affordable for a 40-year period for households earning 60% or less than the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area MFI; or 2) a minimum of 10% of the rental units are affordable for a 40-year period as described above for households earning 50% or less MFI. There are two options of satisfying DB90 development affordability requirements which include ownership units: 1) a minimum of 12% of the rental units in a building are affordable for a 40-year period for households earning 80% or less than the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area MFI; or 2) an in-lieu-fee payment to the Housing Trust Fund, equivalent to the required percentage of the total residential units, including the mix of bedrooms required, at the rate set in the fee schedule at the time of final site plan submission. The site plan for this property is currently under review pursuant to an Ordinance which was subsequently invalidated by Court ruling. This current request for the -DB90 combining district continues to align with City objectives to increase density and affordability in exchange for relaxed development standards. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City Council. City Council has provided policy and direction for having more residential density and increased affordability, as well as incentivizing vertical mixed use buildings throughout the City. City Council previously approved the Residential in Commercial program, permitting residential uses within commercial districts. This request is consistent with the density bonus option in that program and Ordinance No. 20240229-073 (new DB90), which replaced the invalidated density bonus option. 2. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Limited Office (LO) district is intended for offices predominately serving neighborhood or community needs, which may be located within or adjacent to residential neighborhoods. Mixed Use combining district (MU) is intended for combination with selected base districts, in order to permit any combination of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. The proposed density bonus 90 (DB90) combining district, in exchange for providing affordable housing units and in combination with commercial base zoning districts, allows a mixture of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses with modifications of Case number C14-2024-0059 Page 4 compatibility standards and site development regulations including increased building height. The neighborhood plan (NP) district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. The Conditional Overlay (CO) combining district may be applied in combination with any base district. The district is intended to provide flexible and adaptable use or site development regulations by requiring standards tailored to individual properties. 3. Zoning should promote clearly-identified community goals, such as creating employment opportunities or providing for affordable housing. This rezoning authorizes a property to participate in a voluntary density bonus or incentive program that provides modifications to development regulations or other regulatory-related benefits in exchange for community benefits. In exchange for increased development potential, the development is required to comply with affordable housing requirements.

The matter remains extremely problematic due to the insufficient amount of street frontage for this site to accommodate driveway access, etc. Therefore, we will look to remedy the matter in other ways.

Pursuant to Ordinance 20240229-073, adopted by the Austin City Council on February 29, 2024, with an effective date of March 11, 2024, the City of Austin is directing additional housing development in areas of Austin where appropriate through the DB90 Overlay. Our position is that this project meets the requirements to receive the DB90 Overlay and to initiate this rezoning endeavor at no cost to the landowner, per conversations with Ms. Joi Harden. Attached you will find an application for the rezoning, along with a tax certificate and other requisite materials to initiate this rezoning request. The existing zoning of the property, according to the Property Profile viewer, is LO-MU-NP. However, Ordinance 20220901-114 (attached) includes two Conditional Overlays and therefore the zoning should be labeled as LO-MU-CO-NP. The request herein is to pursue a rezoning on the property to LO-MU-CO-DB90-NP. A Site Plan was submitted with a Withdraw and Resubmit request under Case SP-2023-0469C on November 17, 2023. This Site Plan is specific to have taken use of the Density Bonus provisions of Ordinance 20221201-055, commonly known as Residential in Commercial, and, Ordinance 20221201-056, commonly known as Corridor Overlay, to allow for unlimited units with P .

As you are aware, Ordinance 20221201-055 and ordinance 20221201-056 were two of three Density Bonus Programs overturned by a Judge based on a lawsuit that was filed by a group of Austin residents. Ordinance 20240229-073 (the DB90 Ordinance) specifically allows for projects that had started under one of those three Density Bonus Programs that were subsequently overturned to qualify as a rezoning request with fee waivers to the landowner upon filing of a rezoning request to include DB90. Obviously, this project was impacted by the overturning of the Residential in Commercial Ordinance. This is specifically reflected in the DB90 Ordinance under Part 5 Rezonings Initiated. The filed Site Plan is a residential only development with 10 units that could not be achieved without a Density Bonus program being available. The intent of the site plan will not change with the granting of a rezoning to allow for DB90 as an Overlay to the base zoning district. To be clear, there were a lot of negotiations with the neighborhood with the rezoning request in 2022 that resulted in a Private Restrictive Covenant that will remain intact. While the City of Austin will not enforce those regulations, we are acknowledging to the public that there is not any pursuit to modify or terminate the provisions of that private RC. Separately, we are requesting to add a Conditional Overlay limiting height to 39.95 feet. Further, under Section 25-2-652(F)(3) within the DB90 Ordinance, there is a Mix of Uses requirement related to DB90 projects. While a mix of uses certainly makes for an active street, not all properties can have a mix of uses for varying reasons. Pursuant to Section 25-2- 652(F)(3)(e), the rezoning to add DB90 can modify Section 25-2-652(F)(3)(b) that requires the Pedestrian Oriented uses along certain Principal Streets. In this case, the project is located on an Urban Roadway which is a qualifying Principal Roadway to waive the requirement. Justification to waive the requirement is that the property is very narrow and with the placement of a driveway into the property, there is very little opportunity to add ground-level Pedestrian Oriented uses without a significant impact on the density of the residential units. Other larger area properties are better suited with greater frontages on the roadway to provide for the mix of uses envisioned with the DB90 intent. For all the reasons here, we submit the rezoning request to add the DB90 Overlay, respectfully request fee waivers for the rezoning of the property to add the DB90 Overlay, remove an existing Condition of zoning, and waive the requirement for the mix of uses. Please let us know if you have any questions. Sincerely, A. Ron Thrower
