ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET C20-2025-001 Amendment: C20-2025-001 Amendments to the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan (ERC): Conduct a public hearing and consider a recommendation to amend City Code Title 25 to amend the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan (ERC) to remove the property at 1201 Tinnin Ford Road from the ERC Regulating Plan and to change the boundary of the ERC Regulating Plan. Background and summary of proposed code amendment: Initiated by the City Council under Resolution No. 20250213-030. Council Sponsors: Council Member José Velásquez, Mayor Pro Tem Vanessa Fuentes, Council Member José ''Chito'' Vela, Council Member Ryan Alter, Council Member Zohaib ''Zo'' Qadri. On February 25, 2010, the Austin City Council adopted the ERC as an amendment to the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The ERC Plan presents a long-term vision for the area to redevelop the existing low density, auto-oriented commercial uses into an urban mixed-use neighborhood that is more pedestrian and bicycle-friendly. An important element of the plan is to enhance development design quality and create great places where people can live, work, shop, interact and recreate within a walking distance of one another. In May 2013, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 20130509-039 which created the ERC zoning district and adopted the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan for the East Riverside Corridor Zoning District which established the ERC Planning Area Boundary (ERC Regulating Plan). The City Council also adopted Ordinance No. 20130509-042 which rezoned 228 acres of land within the area generally known as the East Riverside Corridor district from their current base zoning districts designations to ERC. The approximate 2.3368-acre property located at 1201 Tinnin Ford Road, which lies directly adjacent to the Lakeshore PUD, was rezoned within the boundary of the ERC Regulating Plan by Ordinance No. 20130509- 042. In August 2023, a planned unit development amendment application was submitted to the City under Case No. C814-06-0103.03 (the PUD Amendment Application) to amend the development regulations within the Lakeshore PUD and to add the Tinnin Ford Tract to the Lakeshore PUD. Therefore, in order for the PUD Amendment Application to include the Tinnin Ford Tract, a Code amendment to change the boundary of the ERC Regulating Plan to remove the subject track is required. The amendment will allow for cohesive development regulations within the Lakeshore PUD. The current Plan includes various figures containing the subject property. See Exhibit “A”. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed Code Amendment to amend the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan to remove the property located at 1201 Tinnin Ford Road from the following figures as depicted by Exhibit “B”: 1.
