ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: 4109 Marathon (C14-2025-0023) DISTRICT: 10 ADDRESS: 4107, 4109, 4109 ½ Marathon Boulevard ZONING FROM: LO-ETOD-DBETOD TO: LR-ETOD-DBETOD SITE AREA: approximately 0.349 acres (approximately 15,200 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: Fadana Real Estate, LLC AGENT: Armburst & Brown, PLLC (Michael Whellan) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting neighborhood commercial-equitable transit oriented development- density bonus equitable transit oriented development (LR-ETOD-DBETOD) combining district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 8, 2025: Case is scheduled to be heard by the Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: TBD ISSUES: None CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract currently contains a long covered, fenced, screened temporary garage structure, small 1-story store of approximately 1,400 square feet with approximately 4,300 square feet of paved area. It is located fronting Marathon Boulevard to the west, an ASMP level 1 street. Just across an alley to the east is a small automobile dealership, which fronts Lamar Boulevard to the east. The applicant’s requested zoning already exists on the tract immediately to the south, however there is a conditional overlay on that tract that prohibits drive-through facilities on the property. The parcel immediately to the south does contain off-street parking. It is noted that the subject tract is within the ETOD overlay and is less than 500 feet from two Imagine Austin Corridors: North Lamar Boulevard to the east and Medical Parkway to the west. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. There is off-street parking on tracts immediately to the north and south of the subject tract. Granting this rezoning request on the subject tract for off-street accessory parking would be reasonable in light of off-street parking being present on those tracts. The tract to the north is a two-story office and it 06 C14-2025-0023 - 4109 Marathon; District 101 of 11C14-2025-0023 2 abuts single family zoned property. The subject tract abuts more intense CS-V-ETOD-DBETOD zoning to the east and properties used as offices to the west, no single-family zoning. Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. The applicant’s requested zoning already exists on the tract immediately to the south, however there is a conditional overlay on that tract that prohibits drive-through facilities on the property. The parcel immediately to the south does contain some off-street parking. EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Site LO-ETOD-DBETOD Long covered, fenced, screened temporary garage structure, small 1-story store of approximately 1,400 square feet with approximately 4,300 square feet of paved area. LAND USES ZONING North LO-ETOD-DBETOD 2-story small office, approximately 9,100 square feet with South East (across alley) West (across Marathon Blvd. LR-CO-ETOD- DBETOD approximately 8,600 square feet of paved area.

This letter replaces the letter dated July 15, 2024. This request will allow the Property to temporarily serve as off-site parking for a nearby use – an interim strategy that will allow the Owner to make use of the Property in the short term while planning for its future. The LR designation is consistent with other adjacent zoning and would require a future rezoning if the Owner sought a more intense development in the future. Case Background The Property is bounded on two sides by right-of-way (Marathon Boulevard to the west and an alleyway to the east) and is largely surrounded by commercially zoned property (with some limited single-family property across Marathon Boulevard and at the corner of Marathon Boulevard and West 42nd Street): South (Abutting): North (Abutting): East (Across Alleyway): West (Across Marathon): LR-CO-ETOD-DBETOD LO-ETOD-DBETOD CS-V-ETOD-DBETOD LO-ETOD-DBETOD, SF-3 To date, the Owner has used the Property primarily for small retail space – and, for a period of time, for unofficial off-site accessory parking related to a nearby auto sales use. The Owner is seeking rezoning to the LR zoning district to provide some modest site flexibility, such as reduced side setbacks, that would help them bring the Property into compliance so that they may use it as off-site accessory parking – until such time as they determine the Property’s long-term future use. Case Rationale Last year, Council rezoned the Property and surrounding properties for the Equitable Transit-Oriented Development Combining District (“ETOD”) and Density Bonus ETOD Combining District (“DBETOD”). The Owner recognizes that the city’s long-term vision for properties along North Lamar Boulevard is to transition to transit-oriented, mixed-use growth. In the meantime, the Owner would like to continue to use the Property for a lower-intensity use that maintains site flexibility – specifically, as off-site accessory parking. {W1207806.1} 06 C14-2025-0023 - 4109 Marathon; District 1010 of 11 The Owner believes that the requested LR-ETOD-DBETOD zoning is appropriate for three main reasons: It is consistent with the surrounding land-use context and with precedent on Marathon Boulevard. The city has already zoned most of the block for commercial uses – including the neighboring parcels to the south, which already feature LR base zoning (the same base zoning the Owner is requesting in this case). Additionally, the tract to the north of the Property already features development up to the lot line, establishing precedent for more flexible setbacks. LR is a lower-intensity base zoning district. As noted, the Owner has not made final decisions regarding the Property’s future use. In recognition of this uncertainty, the Owner is only requesting a smaller-scale zoning designation that will allow for a lower-intensity interim use. Once the Owner has a clearer vision for the Property’s future use, they can then seek rezoning to the appropriate designation at that time. The requested use will still require a conditional use permit – and thus, additional city oversight. Council converted off-site accessory parking into a conditional use on all parcels designated for ETOD (which includes this Property). This provision will require the Owner to seek a conditional use permit, at the city’s discretion, in order to operate an off-site accessory parking use. We believe that our request for LR-ETOD-DBETOD zoning is reasonable, appropriate, and supported by the surrounding land-use context. I appreciate your consideration and am available if you have questions or if you would like to discuss this case further. Respectfully, Michael J.
