PROPERTY OWNER: LED-LINC-LLC AGENT: Thrower Design, LLC (Ron Thrower & Victoria Haase) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant (CS-1-CO-NP). The conditional overlay will prohibit adult oriented business. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 14, 2025: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 0.016 acres and is currently developed with parking spaces adjacent to the restaurant Another Broken Egg in the LINC shopping center. The site has access to both Middle Fiskville Rd (level 3) and IH 35 Frontage (Level 4) and is zoned general commercial – neighborhood plan (CS-NP). The property is in a the Linc shopping center which is mix of commercial uses and restaurants (CS-NP, CS-1-CO-NP, CS-MU-NP) to the north, south and east. To the west is the Cedars International Next Generation High School, Multifamily Residential and undeveloped property. (LI-PDA-NP and CS-MU-V- NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). Staff is recommending the commercial-liquor sales – conditional overlay – neighborhood plan (CS-1-CO-NP) combined district zoning for an outdoor patio that will be approximately 11 C14-2024-0004 - Stout House Patio; District 41 of 9 C14-2024-0004 2 715 square feet in the LINC’s shopping center. The applicant agrees with staff’s alternate recommendation of CS-1-CO-NP. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The commercial-liquor sales district is intended predominately for commercial and industrial activities of a service nature which typically have operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments, and specifically includes liquor sales as a permitted use. The conditional overlay 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. The neighborhood plan district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted neighborhood plan. 2. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. Staff recommends CS-1-CO-NP because the lot meets the intent of the CS-1 district as it is in the LINC shopping center with multiple other CS-1-CO-NP zonings. The applicant agreed with the alternate recommendation and the prohibited use on the property.
