PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 23, 2024: July 9, 2024: APPROVED THE NEIGHBORHOOD’S REQUEST FOR A POSTPONEMENT TO JULY 23, 2024. [A. AZHAR; F. MAXWELL-2ND] (7-3) C. HEMPLE, P. HOWARD, A. PHILLIPS - ABSENT CITY COUNCIL ACTION: 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, C14-2024-0015 Page 2 the applicant submitted this new rezoning application to request the -DB90 combining district. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 1.92 acres, undeveloped, has frontage on Montopolis Drive (level 3), Caddies Street (level 1) and Fairway Street (level 1). The site has two zonings associated with it, community commercial-neighborhood plan (GR-NP) and family residences- neighborhood plan (SF_3-NP). The property has townhomes, Austin Youth Development Building and a Dollar Tree (MF-2-NP, P-NP, GR-NP) to the north. There are also business commercial buildings and single family residential (SF-3-NP, GR-NP). To the east are multifamily residential and undeveloped land (ERC). The closest bus stop is on the corner of Caddie Street and Montopolis Drive, right on the property. The site is mostly in the Riverside Station Imagine Austin Corridor, making this an ideal location to add housing. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant is requesting general commercial-density bonus 90-neighborhood plan (CS- 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 approximately 76 residential units and will be seeking a modification for the commercial requirement on the Caddie Street Frontage. Please refer to Exhibit C (Applicant’s Summary Letter). A development utilizing the “density bonus 90” incentives is permitted with a base GR district and must include an affordability component for residential use in order to obtain incentives, including height maximum of 90 feet in the GR district (60 feet base plus 30 feet incentive) and relaxation of development and compatibility standards, such as FAR, setbacks 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. C14-2024-0015 Page 3 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City Council. sought. 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. This request is consistent with the “VMU2” option and Ordinance No. 20240229-073, which replaced the invalidated “VMU2” option. 2. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district The Community Commercial district is intended for office and commercial uses serving neighborhood and community needs, including both unified shopping centers and individually developed commercial sites, and typically requiring locations accessible from major traffic ways. The DB90 (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 compatibility standards and site development regulations including increased building height. The Neighborhood Plan district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. 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.

Drainage: The developer is required to submit a pre- and post-development drainage analysis at the subdivision and site plan stage of the development process. The City’s Land Development Code and Drainage Criteria Manual require that the Applicant demonstrate through engineering analysis that the proposed development will have no identifiable adverse impact on surrounding properties. Environmental: The site is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is in the Country Club East Creek Watershed of the Colorado River Basin, which is classified as a Suburban Watershed by Chapter 25-8 of the City's Land Development Code. The site is in the Desired Development Zone. According to floodplain maps there is no floodplain within or adjacent to the project location. Standard landscaping and tree protection will be required in accordance with LDC 25-2 and 25-8 for all development and/or redevelopment. At this time, site specific information is unavailable regarding vegetation, areas of steep slope, or other environmental features such as bluffs, springs, canyon rimrock, caves, sinkholes, and wetlands. Under current watershed regulations, development or redevelopment requires water quality control with increased capture volume and control of the 2 year storm on site. At this time, no information has been provided as to whether this property has any preexisting approvals that preempt current water quality or Code requirements.

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 thus, the amended request is for CS-DB90-NP zoning. 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 or should 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 3 Urban Roadways – Montopolis Drive, Fairview Street, and Caddie Street, all of which are qualifying Principal Roadways to waive the requirement and we request that the requirement be waived for the frontage along Caddie Street, as this street is mirrored with single-family use only along the southern side of the street.

Danielle Morin, AICP, Julie Apagya Bonney Nathan Aubert P.E. July 15, 2024 Neighborhood Traffic Analysis – Montopolis Fairway Mixed Use (C14-2023- 0015) The proposed development consists of mixed use commercial and residential, with 180 mid- rise multifamily apartment units, retail, and general office space. It is a 1.9-acre tract located in the center of Brassie Street, Caddie Street, Fairway Street, and Montopolis Drive, see Figure 1 below. The three proposed full-access driveways are one each on Montopolis Drive, Fairway Street and Caddie Street. Montopolis Drive is categorized as a level 3 and Fairway Street and Caddie Street are as level 1 streets in the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP). The proposed, adjusted trip generation exceeds the 300-trip threshold for a local street specified in section 25-6-114 of the Land Development Code (LDC). The Transportation Development Services (TDS) division has conducted a Neighborhood Traffic Analysis (NTA) and offers the following comments. Figure 1: Montopolis Fairway Mixed-use Site Page 1 of 4 Roadways The proposal assumes access onto Montopolis Drive, which is classified as a level 3 street in the ASMP. Montopolis Drive features a consistent right-of-way, a pavement width of roughly 40 feet, curb and gutter, and sidewalks. It functions as a yield-flow street, with parking not allowed on either sides, and clearly marked travel lanes. The speed limit on Montopolis Drive is 35mph. The proposal also assumes access onto Fairway Street, which is classified as a level 1 street in the ASMP. Fairway Street features an inconsistent right-of-way, a pavement width of roughly 40 feet, curb and gutter, and sidewalks. It functions as a yield-flow street, with parking allowed on either side, and no clearly marked travel lanes. The speed limit is 30 mph. The proposal also assumes access onto Caddie Street, which is classified as a level 1 street in the ASMP. Caddie Street features an inconsistent right-of-way, a pavement width of roughly 40 feet, curb and gutter, and sidewalks. It functions as a yield-flow street, with parking allowed on either side, and no clearly marked travel lanes. The speed limit is 25 mph. 24-hour traffic volumes were collected at three points, see Figure 2 below, along Caddie Street, Brassie Street and Fairway Street on May 7th, 8th, and 9th 2024. The data collected indicates that the average number of vehicles per day (vpd) on Caddie Street (location 1) is about 338, on Brassie Street (location 2) it is about 412, and on Fairway Street (location 3) it is about 1960. Figure 2: Tube Count Locations Page 2 of 4  Trip Generation and Traffic Analysis Proposed ITE Code 221 822 710 Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition, the proposed development will generate 1,337 vehicle trips per day. The parcel is currently vacant. The site, as proposed, is estimated to generate a net increase of 1,337 new trips per day. For a detailed breakdown of trip generation, please refer to Table 1. Table 1 – Trip Generation Land Use Size Unadjusted Trip Generation Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) Retail General Office SUM PROPOSED NET TRIPS 180 Dwelling Units 5,000 Square Feet 5,000 Square Feet 810 441 86 1,337 1,337 Table 2 outlines the presumed distribution of site traffic for the net site trips for the proposed development. The proposed development is planned to have access only onto Montopolis Drive, Fairway Street and Caddie Street. Table 2 – Trip Distribution Street Montopolis Drive Fairway Street Caddie Street Expected Trip Distribution (Percentage) 50% 40% 10% Expected Trip Distribution (vpd) 669 534 134 The current assumption is that 50% of trips will access the site via Montopolis Driver, 40% via Fairway Street and 10% via Caddie Street. Table 3 displays the following key information: existing traffic, proposed site traffic, total traffic after development, and the percentage increase in traffic. The total future traffic is calculated by combining the existing traffic and adjusted site-generated trips. Page 3 of 4 Table 3 – Traffic Summary Street Brassie Street Fairway Street Existing Traffic from Counts (vpd) 412 Site Traffic added to Roadway (vpd) 400 1960 Total Future Traffic (vpd) 812 2660 Percentage Increase in Traffic 97.1% 35.7% Caddie Street 338 575 70.1% 700 237 According to Section 25-6-116 of the Land Development Code, streets with a pavement width of 40 feet are operating at a “desirable” level if the average daily traffic volume does not exceed 4,000 vehicles per day. Currently, Brassie Street, Fairway Street, and Caddie Street meet this criterion and are operating at a “desirable” level. The proposed values indicate that they will continue to operate at a desirable level with the proposed development. Based on this analysis the Transportation & Public Works (TPW) Department has the following recommendations and conclusions: Recommendations/Conclusions 1. If the number of units proposed in Table 1 is altered, City staff may reassess this NTA. 2. Currently Brassie Street does not have an existing sidewalk. A buildout of one would be encouraged. 3. Any building permit(s) associated with this development issued on or after June 22, 2022, will be subject to the Street Impact Fee (SIF) program. During site plan review, the applicant’s engineer shall draft a SIF Offset Agreement for all eligible improvements and, if applicable, an Allocation Agreement to memorialize how offsets are to be applied throughout the development. The SIF will be calculated and invoiced for each building permit and any required SIF payments shall be made prior to building permit issuance. The site development permit for the above noted site shall not be released until the improvements are shown in the site plan.

Even so, we met with the NPCT about this case on October 30, 2023, and we agreed to disagree very quickly and respectfully. The NPCT made it very clear that an upzoning of any SF-3 zoned lands will never be supported. The DB90 overlay recently added to the request for rezoning will ensure that a development must include affordable units, something that was not required with the original request. If the NPCT’s position has changed, please let me know. Thank you, Victoria Haase www.throwerdesign.com 512-998-5900 Cell 512-476-4456 Office Mail: P.O.

The C14-2024-0015 (6202 6204 Caddie Street; 1600, 1604, 1606, 16098, 1610, 1612, and 1614 Montopolis Drive; 6205, 6211, 6215, Fairway Street) has not been reviewed by the Montopolis Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (MNPCT). The MNPCT meets the last Monday of each month. Our next scheduled meeting is June 24th, 2024. We are requesting that the case be postponed until July 23rd, 2024. Several of the Contact Team members are on vacation during the first two weeks in July. The MNPCT respectfully request that the developer present his plan for the present tract of land zoned Single Family and Civic on July 23rd Contact Team Meeting at 6 pm, at the Montopolis Recreation Community Center, 1200 Montopolis Drive. The original request for this land was for Mix Use designation, we have received notice that the new request is CS-BD90-NP. This is a new designation for the Montopolis planning area. Also, we need to know if CS-DB90-NP falls under the designation of Mix Use. Thank you in advance for your assistance. Susana Almanza, President MNPCT -- PODER P.O.
