Bojo lbojo@drennergroup.com 512-807-2918 May 23, 2025 (revised) Christine Barton-Holmes Land Development Review Program Manager Development Services Department City of Austin 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive Austin, TX 78752 Via Electronic Delivery Re: All Saints Presbyterian Church SP-2014-0071C(XT4) – Site Plan Extension (XT4) request for the 6.074-acre piece of property located at 7808 Rialto Boulevard, Austin, Travis County, Texas 78735 (the “Property”) Dear Ms. Barton-Holmes: As representatives of the owner of the Property, we respectfully submit the enclosed Consolidated Site Plan Application – Administrative and Land Use Commission (C Plan) along with all other required documentation. With this application, we are requesting an additional three (3) year extension to the approved site development permit, to extend the life of the site plan to December 31, 2028. The original site development permit for this project was issued on December 30, 2014. An application for a one (1) year administrative permit extension was submitted on January 5, 2018, and granted on May 3, 2018, extending the life of the site plan to December 30, 2018. Subsequently, an application for a three (3) year extension was approved by the Land Use Commission on March 27, 2019, extending the life of the site plan to December 30, 2021. Next, an application for a three (3) year extension requiring approval by the Land Use Commission was submitted on November 8, 2021, and granted on May 18, 2022, extending the life of the site plan to March 1, 2025. The project is now nearing completion, and we expect this to be the last request. As a church, both fundraising the logistics of the church itself were impacted greatly by the COVID pandemic. As such, more time is requested to continue the capital campaign for this project and finalize the buildout. The Property, consisting of 6.074 acres of land, is located at the northwest intersection of Rialto Boulevard and Terravista Drive. The site is within the Williamson Creek Watershed which is located in the Barton Springs Zone as well as the Edwards Aquifer Contributing Zone. The Property is within the City of Austin’s Full Purpose Jurisdiction, the Southwest Parkway Hill Country Roadway corridor, and the Oak Hill Combined Neighborhood Planning Area. Per LDC § 25-5-63 (Extension of Released Site Plan by the Land Use Commission), the Land Use Commission may extend the expiration date of a released site plan beyond the date established by this chapter if the Land Use Commission determines that the request complies with the requirements for extension by the director under Section 25-5-62 (Extension of Released Site Plan By Director). Per LDC § 25-5-62(C)(1), at least one of the following conditions must be met in order to establish good cause for the requested extension: (a) the site plan substantially complies with the requirements that apply to a new application for site plan approval; (b) the applicant filed the original application for site plan approval with the good faith expectation that the site plan would be constructed; 12 SP-2014-0071C(XT4) - All Saints Presbyterian Church; District 83 of 7 June 2, 2025 Page 2 (c) the applicant constructed at least one structure shown on the original site plan that is suitable for permanent occupancy; or, (d) the applicant has constructed a significant portion of the infrastructure required for development of the original site plan. The site plan is subject to grandfathering per the letter agreement dated April 3, 2000, and does not substantially comply with the requirements that apply to new applications for site plan approval; however, (b), (c), and (d) of 25-5-62(C)(1) are still met. The applicant filed the original site plan approval with the good faith expectation that the site plan would be constructed. Several structures suitable for permanent occupancy have been completed and all utilities in the right-of-way have been constructed. The items remaining to be constructed from Correction 9 are the sanctuary building, pavers and hardscape surrounding the building, four 24"x24" grate inlets, two 12"x12" grate inlets, two 18"x18" grate inlets, and drainage pipes connecting the new inlets to the site drainage system that has been constructed. Extensions will be constructed off the following private utilities to accommodate new connection locations in the building design: 70 linear feet of water line, 191 linear feet of fire line, and 78 linear feet of wastewater line. The red area on the attached exhibit shows the only area that has not yet been completed. 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. Sincerely, Leah M.
