ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2024-0180 (1211 East 52nd Street Zoning) DISTRICT: 4 ADDRESS: 1211 East 52nd Street ZONING FROM: MF-2-NP TO: CS-V-CO-DB90-NP SITE AREA: .2649 (11,539.04 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Yellow 52 Investments, LLC, Jonathan Saad AGENT: Drenner Group PC, Amanda Swor CASE MANAGER: Beverly Villela (512-978-0740, Beverly.Villela@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends granting general commercial services – vertical mixed use building – conditional overlay – density bonus 90 – neighborhood plan (CS-V-CO-DB90-NP) combining district zoning. The conditional overlay would prohibit the following uses: drive through facilities, automotive rentals, automotive repair services, automotive sales (exceeding 3,500 square feet), automotive washing of any type, bail bonds, drop-off recycling, pawn shops, pedicab storage and dispatch, funeral services, extermination services, convenience storage, equipment repair services, equipment sales, vehicle storage, and commercial blood plasma center. See the Basis of Recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: February 11, 2025: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question spans approximately .2649 (11,539.04 sq. ft.) and is currently developed with a vacant residential four-plex. It is situated on East 52nd Street (a street level 1) and is proposed to be incorporated with the larger 8.45-acre tract that was rezoned to CS- V-CO-DB90-NP under case C14-2024-0055. The surrounding areas includes apartments 09 C14-2024-0180 - 1211 East 52nd Street Zoning; District 41 of 19 C14-2024-0180 Page 2 (MF-2-CO-NP) to the north, vacant and general retail convenience at Mueller (CS-V-CO- DB90-NP and PUD) to the south, apartments, and single family residential (CS-V-CO- DB90-NP, GR-MU-V-CO-NP, and NO-MU-NP) to the east, and general retail, administrative and business office, and single family residential (CS-V-CO-DB90-NP and MF-2-NP) to the west. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant is requesting general commercial services – vertical mixed use - conditional overlay – density bonus 90- neighborhood plan (CS-V-CO-DB90-NP) combining district zoning to be incorporated with the mentioned case above. The overall proposed project associated with both the current request and C14-2024-0055 will contain approximately 40,000 square feet of retail space, a 40,000 square foot grocer,150,000 square feet of office space, and 550 multifamily units. The applicant is proposing to develop under the new DB90 standards creating a project that will incorporate on-site affordable housing with 12% of the units reserved for families earning up to 60% of the Annual Median Family Income (“MFI”) or 10% of the units reserved for families earning up to50% MFI. Staff recommends general commercial services – vertical mixed use - conditional overlay – density bonus 90- neighborhood plan (CS-V-CO-DB90-NP) combining district zoning as this proposed zoning is consistent and compatible with the surrounding land uses. The applicant is in agreement with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The general commercial services (CS) district zoning is intended for commercial or industrial uses that typically have operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments. Vertical Mixed Use Building (V) combining district may be applied in combination with any commercial base zoning district and allows for a combination of office, retail, commercial and residential uses within a vertical mixed use building. 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 compatibility standards and site development regulations including increased building height. 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. The neighborhood plan (NP) district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an 09 C14-2024-0180 - 1211 East 52nd Street Zoning; District 42 of 19 C14-2024-0180 Page 3 adopted Neighborhood Plan. 2. 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. 3. The proposed zoning should satisfy a real public need and not provide special privilege to the owner. East 51st Street and Cameron Road are level 3 ASMP Corridors and Imagine Austin Corridors that are envisioned to have a mix of uses. This rezoning would help realize that vision, satisfy a public need for greater intensity of development along these major roadways, generate income restricted affordable housing, and support neighborhood needs to the north (Windsor Park), south (Mueller), east (Pecan Springs, Springdale), and west (Hyde Park, North Loop).

ADDITIONAL STAFF COMMENTS: 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 located in the Tannehill Creek Watershed of the Colorado River Basin, which is classified as an Urban Watershed by Chapter 25-8 of the City's Land Development Code. It is in the Desired Development Zone. Zoning district impervious cover limits apply in the Urban Watershed classification. 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. This site is required to provide on-site water quality controls (or payment in lieu of) for all development and/or redevelopment when 8,000 s.f. cumulative is exceeded, and on site control for the two-year storm. 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. 09 C14-2024-0180 - 1211 East 52nd Street Zoning; District 45 of 19 C14-2024-0180 Page 6 Fire No comments on zoning change. PARD – Planning & Design Review Parkland dedication will be required at the time of subdivision or site plan application for new residential units proposed by this rezoning, multifamily with CS-V-CO-DB90 as it relates to the earlier rezoning from case C14-2024-0055, per City Code § 25-1-601, as amended. The intensity of the proposed development associated with these two rezonings creates a critical need for additional parkland, per requirements described in § 25-1-603. An early determination was provided in May 2023 for the associated case stating that onsite land dedication would be required, under the previous parkland dedication code in effect prior to January 1, 2024. Due to the determination and the code criteria, land dedication shall be required, unless the land available for dedication does not comply with the standards for dedication. Any remaining fees in-lieu after dedication shall also be required. If the land available for dedication complies with the parks standards, the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) would consider a small park toward satisfying the requirement at time of permitting (whether subdivision or site plan). The surrounding neighborhood areas are currently park deficient, defined as being outside walking distance to existing parks. The dedication would satisfy the need for additional parks in park deficient areas of North Central Austin, a recommendation in the Parks and Recreation Department’s Long Range Plan. Should there be any remaining fees in-lieu, those fees shall be used toward park investments in the form of land acquisition and/or park amenities within the surrounding area, per the Parkland Dedication Operating Procedures § 14.3.11 and City Code § 25-1-609. If the applicant wishes to discuss parkland dedication requirements in advance of site plan or subdivision applications, please contact this reviewer: ann.desanctis@austintexas.gov. Site Plan Site plans will be required for any new development except residential only projects with up to 4 units. Any new development is subject to Subchapter E Design Standards and Mixed Use of the Land Development Code. Additional comments will be made when the site plan is submitted. This tract is already developed and the proposed zoning change is within the footprint of an existing development. DB90 Rezoning This site must meet affordability minimums per LDC 25-2-652 to be eligible for DB90. A signed approval letter from the Housing Department will be required with site plan submittal. 09 C14-2024-0180 - 1211 East 52nd Street Zoning; District 46 of 19 C14-2024-0180 Page 7 E 52nd Street is the Principal Street for this site. Any buildings fronting this street will be required to have 75% of the ground floor as commercial or civic uses. NOTE: A lobby serving a use other than a pedestrian-oriented commercial or civic space is not counted as a pedestrian-oriented commercial or civic place. If a building includes a mix of uses, a non-residential use: • may not be located above a residential use; and • may not be located on or above the third story of the building. Austin Transportation and Public Works Department – Engineering Review The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) calls for 58 feet of right-of-way for 52nd St. It is recommended that 29 feet of right-of-way from the existing centerline should be dedicated according to the ASMP with the first subdivision or site plan application. [LDC 25-6-51 and 25-6-55].

FYI: The landowner intends to serve the site with existing City of Austin water utilities. Based on current public infrastructure configurations, it appears that service extension requests (SER) will be required to provide service to this lot.

As representatives of the owner of the Property, we respectfully submit the enclosed rezoning application and neighborhood plan amendment packages (the “Current Requests”). The project is titled 1211 East 52nd Street, consists of 0.2649 acres, and is located at 1211 East 52nd Street. The Property is currently developed with a vacant residential four-plex. The site is currently zoned MF-2-NP (Multifamily Residence Low Density – Neighborhood Plan). The proposed rezoning is to CS-V-CO-DB90-NP (General Commercial Services – Vertical Mixed Use – Conditional Overlay – Density Bonus 90 – Neighborhood Plan). The Property is proposed to be incorporated with the larger 8.45-acre tract that was rezoned to CS-V-CO-DB90- NP earlier this year on August 29, 2024 (“Related Zoning Case”) per Ordinance 20240829-184. The Property is located in the University Hills/Windsor Park Combined Neighborhood Plan and is currently designated as “Multifamily,” on the Future Land Use Map (“FLUM”). The request is to amend the FLUM designation from “Multifamily” to “Mixed Use.” The purpose of the neighborhood plan amendment is to implement the mixed-use designation on the Property to create a unified designation with the surrounding property to allow for a comprehensive redevelopment. This request aligns with the plan’s vision statement to “encourage a diversity of housing options" in this neighborhood. This request is consistent with surrounding uses. The proposed project associated with both the Current Requests and Related Zoning Case will contain approximately 40,000 square feet of retail space, a 40,000 square foot grocer, 150,000 square feet of office space, and 550 multifamily units (the “Project”). The Project is proposing to develop under the new DB90 standards creating a project that will incorporate on- site affordable housing with 12% of the units reserved for families earning up to 60% of the 09 C14-2024-0180 - 1211 East 52nd Street Zoning; District 411 of 19 Annual Median Family Income (“MFI”) or 10% of the units reserved for families earning up to 50% MFI. The approved ordinance for the Related Zoning Case includes a Conditional Overlay that prohibits the below land uses on the Property. The Current Requests propose to add these same conditions as part of the application request. Automotive rentals Automotive sales (exceeding 3,500 square feet) Bail bond services Convenience storage Drop-off recycling collection facility Equipment sales Funeral services Pedicab storage and dispatch Automotive repair services Automotive washing (any type) Commercial blood plasma center Drive-through facilities Equipment repair services Exterminating services Pawn shop services Vehicle storage A Zoning Transportation Analysis (“ZTA”) was approved for the Related Zoning Case for the Property per a ZTA Memorandum prepared by Nathan Aubert on June 23, 2023. A Traffic Impact Analysis (“TIA”) has been waived per a TIA Determination Worksheet signed by Manar Hasan on October 30, 2024, with the note that additional trips from this small parcel is not significant enough to require further analysis to the existing ZTA. Please let me know if you or your team members require additional information or have any questions. Thank you for your time and attention to this project. cc: Joi Harden, Housing and Planning Department (via electronic delivery) Very truly yours, Amanda Swor -2- 09 C14-2024-0180 - 1211 East 52nd Street Zoning; District 412 of 19 Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) Determination Worksheet Applicant must complete this worksheet except where noted for TPW Staff.

Kathy Smith, P.E., PTOE June 23, 2023 51st and Cameron – Zoning Transportation Analysis (C14-2023-0003) The Transportation Development Services (TDS) division has reviewed the May 8, 2023 “51st and Cameron Zoning Transportation Analysis”, prepared by HDR Engineering, Inc. The proposal is for 550 mid-rise multifamily dwelling units, 105,000 square feet of general office, 17,000 square feet of retail, and 40,300 square feet of Supermarket. This development is fronted by E 51st Street to the south and Cameron Rd to the west, it is located east of IH 35 NBFR as depicted on Figure 1 below. Site access will consist of four driveways: one on 51st St, two on 52nd St, and one on Lancaster Court. The development is anticipated to be constructed in one phase by 2028. Figure 1. Site Location Page 1 of 5 09 C14-2024-0180 - 1211 East 52nd Street Zoning; District 415 of 19 Roadways The site proposes four full purpose driveways on 52nd St (Driveways A, B), Lancaster Ct (Driveway C), and E 51st St (Driveway D). The site proposes four additional service driveway locations on (1) Cameron Rd, (2) 52nd St, (3) Lancaster Ct, and (4) E 51st St. A conceptual site plan showing proposed driveway locations can be seen in Figure 2. E 51st Street In the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP), E 51st St is classified as a Level 3 roadway, which will provide one full-service site access and one full access driveway into/out of the site for service operations. It is currently a four-lane divided road with a two-way center turn lane. The right-of-way (ROW) along E 51st St varies, ranging from 79 feet to 160 feet. Sidewalks and curb & gutter exist on the northern and southern sides of the road. An unprotected bike lane runs along the northern and southern stretch of E 51st St in the vicinity of the site but the northern portion connects to the sidewalk at the start of the right turn lane northbound into Cameron (directly fronting the southern boundary of the proposed site). According to available Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) data, the average daily traffic (ADT) on E 51st St, is roughly 11,600 vehicles per day (vpd). Cameron Road Cameron Rd is identified as a Level 3 roadway in the ASMP which will provide one full access service* driveway into/out of the site. Cameron Rd serves as a two-lane divided roadway with sidewalks on the east and western sides of the street, and a full curb and gutter network. There are existing, buffered bike lanes on both sides of the road. Cameron Rd is operated by the City of Austin with TxDOT oversight in some areas, given the proximity to the IH 35 frontage road. ADT on Cameron Rd, according to available TxDOT data, is approximately 14,700 vpd. E 52nd Street E 52nd St is identified as a Level 1 roadway in the ASMP, which will provide two full access site driveways and one service driveway into/out of site. The road is comprised of two unstriped, undivided travel lanes and on-street parking. There is curb and gutter on both sides of the road, and sidewalk on the northern side of the road. No bicycle facilities exist on E 52nd St. The ROW on E 52nd St is about 44 feet wide along the property frontage. No ADT counts from TxDOT were available at this location. Lancaster Court Lancaster Ct is a Level 1 roadway comprised of two undivided, unstriped travel lanes. Lancaster will provide one full access site driveway and one full access service driveway into/out of the site. There is curb and gutter on both sides of the street, sidewalk on the eastern side of the road, and no existing bicycle facilities. The ROW width along Lancaster is about 42 feet. No ADT counts from TxDOT were available at this location. Page 2 of 5 09 C14-2024-0180 - 1211 East 52nd Street Zoning; District 416 of 19 Figure 2. Conceptual Site Driveways (Figure taken from ZTA report); Driveways A, B, C, D are for site access. Driveways 1-4 are service driveways. Trip Generation and Traffic Analysis The project assumes 544 mid-rise multi-family dwelling units (ITE Code 221), 105,000 square-feet of general office (ITE Code 710), 17,000 square-feet of retail strip plaza (ITE Code 821), and 40,300 square-feet of supermarket (ITE Code 850). Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition, the proposed development will generate 8,635 vehicle trips per day. See Table 1 for a detailed breakdown of the trip generation. Table 1. Trip Generation Land Use 221- Multifamily Housing (Mid Rise) 710- General Office 821- Retail Strip Plaza (<40k) 850- Supermarket Size 544 Dwelling Units 105,000 SF 17,000 SF 40,300 SF Total Unadjusted Trips Trip Generation 2,577 1,211 947 3,900 8,635 The existing trips were obtained from TxDOT data, then site trips were added to these volumes using an estimate of the traffic distribution to and from the proposed site. Table 2 shows both the existing traffic volumes as well as projected volumes on each road in the vicinity of the site. Street E 51st St Cameron Rd E 52nd St Lancaster Ct Table 2.
