ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2024-0166 – W Ben White Multifamily DISTRICT: 3 ADDRESS: 603, 611, 613, 623, 625, and 629 West Ben White Boulevard Service Road Eastbound ZONING FROM: GR-V-NP; CS-V-NP; CS-1-V-NP TO: CH-PDA-NP SITE AREA: 3.966 acres PROPERTY OWNER: 603 W Ben White Owner, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Michael J. Murphy) AGENT: DuBois Bryant & Campbell, LLP (David Hartman) CASE MANAGER: Nancy Estrada (512-974-7617, nancy.estrada@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant commercial highway services – planned development area – neighborhood plan (CH-PDA-NP) combining district zoning. The basis of Staff’s recommendation is provided on pages 1 - 4. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 11, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of approximately 3.966 acres located at the southwest corner of West Ben White Boulevard Eastbound Service Road and South 1st Street. Currently, the site is developed with various commercial uses, including a supermarket, restaurant, beauty college/salon, and a cocktail lounge, along with surface parking. Additionally, a vacant medical equipment sales building is located on the property. The overall site is zoned community commercial – vertical mixed use building – neighborhood 14 C14-2024-0166 - W Ben White Multifamily; District 31 of 13C14-2024-0166 Page 2 plan (GR-V-NP) with the supermarket area zoned as general commercial services – vertical mixed use building – neighborhood plan (CS-V-NP). An 8,862 square-foot cocktail lounge on the property is zoned commercial-liquor sales – vertical mixed use building – neighborhood plan (CS-1-V-NP). The subject area borders the Hospital Special District along its western and southern boundaries. The Hospital Special District encompasses medical offices/clinics, a medical park and St. David’s South Austin Medical Center (CH-PDA-NP; LO-V-NP; PUD-NP). There is a fire station and an auto service directly to the south (GO-CO-NP; GR-V-NP) and commercial services to the east across South 1st Street (GR-V-NP; GR-NP; CS-MU-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial View). The site has frontage along West Ben White Boulevard Eastbound Service Road, a major arterial roadway, and South 1st Street, a Level 3 roadway and a designated Imagine Austin Corridor. The property will have access from both roadways. Public transit is available with a Capital Metro bus route and bus stop along South 1st Street. Additionally, there are several bus stops located at The Capital Metro South Congress Transit Center which is located within half of a mile east of the property. A Rapid bus route is also accessible from the transit center. A FlixBus stop has recently been added at the transit center, and future plans include the addition of a light rail station at this location. The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to commercial highway services – planned development area – neighborhood plan (CH-PDA-NP) to allow for a proposed mixed use development that would consist of 600 multifamily units and approximately 14,000 square feet for commercial/retail uses, which incorporates the existing 8,862 square feet designated for a cocktail lounge. The proposed multifamily residential units will include a voluntary affordability component. As set forth in Land Development Code Section 25-2-441, the regulations of a planned development area (PDA) may modify: 1) permitted or conditional uses authorized by the base zoning district, 2) site development regulations except for compatibility standards, and 3) off-street parking or loading regulations, sign regulations or screening regulations applicable in the base district. The Applicant’s proposed PDA consists of the following elements: 1) Establishes the following additional permitted commercial use: 2) Establishes that (CH) site development standards apply to the property, with the Cocktail lounge, limited to 8,862 square feet following modifications: a) The minimum setbacks shall apply to the Property: Front Yard: 10 feet Street Side Yard: 10 feet 14 C14-2024-0166 - W Ben White Multifamily; District 32 of 13C14-2024-0166 Page 3 Interior Side Yard: 0 feet Rear Yard: 0 feet b) The minimum lot width for the Property shall be 50 feet c) A maximum impervious cover of 95% d) A maximum height of 120’ NOTE: All other land use classification in the CH zoning district are permitted and conditional uses except as identified above. Staff is recommending commercial highway services – planned development area – neighborhood plan (CH-PDA-NP) combining district zoning. Its location at the intersection of West Ben White Boulevard and South 1st Street, which are major arterial roadways, is appropriate for supporting higher density development. The proposed zoning aligns with the adjacent (CH-PDA-NP) combining district zoning to the west, which will allow up to 120’ in height along West Ben White Boulevard. The future development will help increase the number of housing options for both the City and the surrounding community. BASIS OF STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The proposed commercial highway services (CH) district is intended predominately for major mixed use developments of a service nature which typically have operating and traffic generation characteristics requiring location at the intersection of state maintained highways, excluding scenic arterials. Site development regulations and performance standards are intended to ensure adequate access to and from all uses, and to permit combinations of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. The planned development area (PDA) combining district designation provides for industrial and commercial uses in certain commercial and industrial base districts. The neighborhood plan (NP) district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. 2. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The proposed commercial highway services (CH) zoning district is appropriate for this location, as West Ben White Boulevard is a specified highway corridor in the Land Development Code that allows for (CH) zoning. The recommended (CH) zoning district is compatible with the surrounding area since there is (CH-PDA-NP) combining district zoning to the west. The future mixed use development can help provide additional housing for the nearby major medical center and related medical offices and businesses within the Hospital Special District, as well as the broader community. 3. 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 intensive uses and additional density on major corridors. 14 C14-2024-0166 - W Ben White Multifamily; District 33 of 13 Page 4 C14-2024-0166 4. 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. West Ben White Boulevard is a major arterial, while South 1st Street is designated as both an Imagine Austin corridor and an ASMP Transit Priority Network Roadway. Due to the high connectivity of this area, commercial highway services (CH) zoning is appropriate for this intersection. The rezoning area is also within proximity to the interchange of two freeways. Currently public transit is located on South 1st Street. The Capital Metro South Congress Transit Center is less than half of a mile from the property; therefore, additional bus routes, including a Metro Rapid Bus Route will be accessible.

Ben White Blvd. SVRD EB, Austin, Texas 78704 (“Property”) We respectfully submit the enclosed zoning application for 603, 611, 613, 623, 625, and 629 W. Ben White Blvd. SVRD EB as representatives of the owners of the above stated Property. The Property is currently zoned Commercial Services-Vertical Mixed Use-Neighborhood Plan (“CS-V- NP”), Commercial Services-Liquor Sales-Vertical Mixed Use-Neighborhood Plan (“CS-1-V-NP”) and Community Commercial-Vertical Mixed Use-Neighborhood Plan (“GR-V-NP”). The Property is currently developed as a supermarket, medical equipment sales, restaurant, cocktail lounge, Bella Beauty College, and related parking. This zoning application requests Commercial Highway-Planned Development Agreement- Neighborhood Plan (“CH-PDA-NP”) zoning for the Property. The proposed Planned Development Area development standards for the Property in connection with the zoning application are set forth on attached Exhibit “A”. The proposed zoning would authorize maximum 120’ height for a proposed mixed use/multifamily development to provide much needed housing for adjacent medical employees.
