The proposal is for 950 dwelling units of high-rise multifamily, 225 hotel rooms, 600,000 square feet of general office space, 90,000 square feet of shopping plaza, 25,000 square feet of supermarket, and 30,000 square feet of high turnover sit-down restaurant. It will be located at 500 S Congress Ave, Austin. The site location is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Site Location Page 1 of 9 14 C814-2024-0001 - 500 South Congress PUD; District 999 of 113The project proposes access to the surrounding roadway network via one RIRO driveway along W Riverside Dr, two RIRO driveways along S Congress Ave, and two full access driveways along Haywood Ave. The proposed development will be built in one phase and is anticipated to be completed in 2028. As a transportation condition of approval for the above-referenced site plan application, the applicant shall comply with the following: 1. The applicant shall design, and construct improvements identified in Table 2 below prior to the issuance of the temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) or certificate of occupancy (CO). Cost estimates should not be assumed to represent the maximum dollar value of improvements the applicant may be required to construct. 2. The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) identifies 116 feet of right-of-way (ROW) for W Riverside Drive and 140 feet for S Congress Avenue. Staff recommends that the development plans for 58 feet of ROW from the centerline along W Riverside Drive and 70 feet from the centerline along S Congress Avenue. The ROW, or an equivalent easement acceptable to the TPW, shall be finalized with the coordination of TPW either through the formal Planned Unit Development (PUD) exhibits or at the time of the subdivision or site plan application, whichever occurs earlier. 3. The site must achieve a minimum TDM threshold of 30% using various measures. The applicant has the flexibility to substitute and/or add other relevant TDM measures as per the TCM at the time of the site plan as long as the overall TDM reduction is achieved. TDM measures will be further reevaluated and approved by COA during the site plan review. 4. The proposed development is subject to the City of Austin Street Impact Fee (SIF) (Ordinance # 20201220-061 & 20201210-062). The final SIF will be calculated and invoiced for this development at the time of building permit and will satisfy the mitigation requirements of this site. No building permit shall be issued until the total required SIF collection amount is paid in full. The SIF study identifies that the projected future developments can require improvements to the transportation network. Street impact fees help fund roadway capacity projects necessitated by new developments. Payments to the SIF to build these projects/improvements, which are identified in the Roadway Capacity Plan, will satisfy the mitigation requirements. The rough proportionality of this development shall be evaluated based on the proposed land uses and development intensities within the full extent of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) boundary. 5. If the applicant constructs any SIF offset-eligible improvements with this site plan, the cost incurred for construction may be considered as an offset toward the final SIF collection amount through an Offset Agreement. If constructed before building permit issuance, actual construction costs may be used; otherwise, a signed and sealed cost estimate will be required. 6. Development of this property should not vary from the approved uses or deviate from the approved intensities and estimated traffic generation assumptions within the finalized TIA document, including land uses, trip generation, trip distribution, traffic controls, driveway locations, and other identified conditions. Any change in the assumptions made to the TIA document shall be reviewed by TPW and may require a new or updated TIA/addendum. 7. Approval of this TIA does not grant nor guarantee approval of proposed driveway locations or driveway types. An updated TIA or addendum may be required at the time of the site plan when more details about the site are available. Page 2 of 9 14 C814-2024-0001 - 500 South Congress PUD; District 9100 of 1138. The findings and recommendations of this TIA memorandum remain valid until five (5) years from the date of the traffic counts in the TIA or the date of this memo, whichever comes first, after which a revised TIA or addendum may be required. Trip Generation and Land Use: Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition), the development will generate 13,354 adjusted daily trips, 863 trips during the AM peak hour and 884 trips during the PM peak hour, details are shown in Table 1.
