ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2025-0028.SH– The Bloom at Lamar Square DISTRICT: 9 ADDRESS: 1326-1328 Lamar Square Drive ZONING FROM: MF-4, MF-5 TO: CS SITE AREA: 0.58 acres PROPERTY OWNER: FC Austin Fifteen Housing Corporation (Walter Moreau) AGENT: Foundation Communities (Kyle Russell) CASE MANAGER: Marcelle Boudreaux (512-974-8094, marcelle.boudreaux@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant general commercial services – conditional overlay (CS-CO) combining district zoning. The Conditional Overlay would prohibit the following uses permitted within the CS base zoning district: Alternative Financial Services, Automotive Rentals, Automotive Repairs & Services, Automotive Sales, Automotive Washing (of any type), Bail Bond Services, Campground, Carriage Stable, Commercial Off-Street Parking, Construction Sales & Services, Convenience Storage, Equipment Repair Services, Equipment Sales, Exterminating Services, Funeral Services, Indoor Sports & Recreation, Laundry Services, Monument Retail Sales, Off-Site Accessory Parking, Outdoor Sports and Recreation, Pawn Shop Services, Pedicab Storage & Dispatch, Research Services, Service Station, Vehicle Storage, Indoor Crop Production, Urban Farm, Custom Manufacturing and Limited Warehousing & Distribution. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 8, 2025: CITY COUNCIL: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: 03 C14-2025-0028.SH - The Bloom at Lamar Square; District 91 of 11C14-2025-0028.SH Page 2 The prohibited uses in the CS base district are recommended by Staff due to the site’s adjacency to existing residential zoning and uses. The applicant agrees to the CO with prohibited uses. This is an approved Affordability Unlocked project (see attached Applicant Summary). Developments that meet the requirements of the Affordability Unlocked Program can be built as a permitted use on any site that is in a commercial base zoning district. The Applicant seeks the CS base zoning district to allow for a mixed use development to include deeply affordable units plus essential services and amenities. In order to realize long-term affordability and provision of essential services, the development also needs to take advantage of the site development standards in CS. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is approximately half an acre (0.58 acres) and is vacant. The rezoning area is situated on Lamar Square Drive, which is a closed loop drive west off S. Lamar Blvd., an Imagine Austin activity corridor. To the east of the site, across Lamar Square Drive, is Administrative and Business Office use (Mary Lee Foundation) (CS). To the north and the south with frontage along the Drive are multifamily residential uses (MF-2-CO; MF-5; MF-6-CO). To the west with frontage onto Kinney Avenue, are Administrative and Business Office use, multifamily and single family residential uses and vacant lot (SF-3; LR; MF-3; MF-2-CO). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial View). This area of S. Lamar Blvd. has been in transition from low-density commercial uses to 4-5 story mixed use (primarily residential over ground floor commercial) buildings. The drive is signalized at the intersection with S. Lamar Blvd. and is approximately one-half mile south of Barton Springs Road. S. Lamar Blvd. is a core transit corridor and Cap Metro Rapid bus stops (heading north and south) are located at this intersection. This proposal is within a ½ mile of both the Collier and Lamar Square ETOD station areas (Bus). The proposal includes deeply affordable units, consistent with the “Include” ETOD typology. ETOD efforts should take advantage of the change occurring today to enable even more community members, especially low-income households and communities of color, to access existing services and opportunities while incrementally growing with more housing units for all income levels. The Applicant proposes to rezone the property to general commercial services (CS) district for a mixed use development that will include a mix of commercial, civic and residential uses (approximately 111 units). Staff recommends CS-CO, as discussed in more detail in the Issues section. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. 1. 03 C14-2025-0028.SH - The Bloom at Lamar Square; District 92 of 11C14-2025-0028.SH Page 3 The general commercial services district (CS) is intended predominately for commercial and industrial activities of a service nature having operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments. The conditional overlay combining district (CO) 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. 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. 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 residential density and increased affordability, as well as incentivizing vertical mixed use buildings throughout the City. Zoning changes should promote an orderly relationship among land uses. 4. Staff recommends the Applicant’s request as described above for CS district zoning for the subject property based on the following considerations: 1) Recognizing the site’s location immediately adjacent to S. Lamar Blvd., which is an Imagine Austin Corridor and a core transit corridor; 2) The site adjoins a public sidewalk, shared path, and/or bike lane and is located within 0.25 miles of public transit stop and/or light rail station. Cap Metro rapid bus stops are a few hundred yards from the subject site; 3) There are numerous multifamily mixed use projects located all along S. Lamar Blvd to the east of the proposed site; 4) The number of units and housing choice that could be produced would suit a variety of household sizes, incomes, and lifestyle needs of a diverse population in support of Imagine Austin and the Strategic Housing Blueprint; 5) the applicant has successfully incorporated development details consistent with the intent of the “INCLUDE” ETOD typology.

The purpose of this request is to support the development of The Bloom at Lamar Square, which necessitates an increase in the allowable building coverage and impervious cover restrictions to meet project needs. This development is an approved Affordability Unlocked project, ensuring that the proposed housing will provide deeply affordable units and services for Austin residents. The Affordability Unlocked program allows us to maximize the site's potential for providing critical housing while maintaining long-term affordability. Furthermore, this development is part of a larger, master-planned redevelopment of the Lamar Square Drive neighborhood, a collaborative effort led by Foundation Communities and the Mary Lee Foundation. The overall vision for this area is to create a vibrant, inclusive, and accessible community that integrates affordable housing with essential services and amenities. The requested CS zoning aligns with this vision by allowing for the necessary density and site improvements to realize our mission. We appreciate your time and consideration of this request. Please let us know if additional information or materials are required. We look forward to your support in bringing this important project to fruition.
