I watched the video of last week's meeting with the applicant (https://publicinput.com/a4768) and I concur with the concerns expressed. I strongly prefer amending the City of Austin's TOD designation to accommodate higher density and taller buildings over carving out exceptions on a per-lot basis. I noted a few things not discussed in that meeting: Just because the current property owner is amenable to implementing pedestrian and bike friendly amenities at the street does not mean future property owners will do the same. Unless codified in law, nothing would prevent a future renovation which negatively impacts all the positives of what's in the existing TOD designation. No one discussed what is required to amend the TOD. Is it really so onerous that carving out piecemeal exceptions is the only solution? If removing a lot from the TOD is the only possibility for increasing building height and housing density, why not extract all the lots at the corners of Manor and Airport, keeping all the TOD's requirements for pedestrians and bicyclists and simply increase building height and density of residential units? I would love to see more taller buildings at this intersection. It would increase pressure to walk, bike, or ride the bus over driving. We might also get enough housing density to support more local commercial on the ground floors which serve the community such as a minimart, small hardware, restaurant or cafe. Regards, Marty Combs Grayson Lane (78722)
From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Andy Schulz Boudreaux, Marcelle Dohn Larson Case Nos. NPA-2024-0019.01 and C14-2024-0121 Tuesday, January 28, 2025 12:31:09 PM External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Ms. Boudreaux, Thank you again for your time yesterday discussing the above cases with me and my neighbor. I live on East 44th Street near Bennet Street, and I write on behalf of myself, my wife, and several neighbors on 44th Street who are deeply concerned about the changes requested by the applicant in the above cases. To be clear, we support efforts to create more housing, and especially more affordable housing, in the City of Austin. However, the effort to do so in the proposed manner at this specific location is not appropriate for our neighborhood. We are mindful that the Planning Department has recommended approval of the requested change from residential to mixed use, but without the DB90 density bonus. Although elimination of the DB90 bonus density certainly is a necessary improvement, they are not sufficient and the proposed changes remain inappropriate for multiple reasons. As an initial matter, there are currently three modest detached single-family dwellings on these properties, each with off-street parking. Notwithstanding the applicant’s representation that these dwellings are in poor condition, from the exterior they appear to be fine. In one case, some fresh paint and trimming of shrubbery seems to be all the house needs. These small homes are in keeping with our neighborhood, and we think an appropriate alternative would be to use small lot options to increase density while preserving the character of our neighborhood and minimizing the negative impact of the proposed changes. The negative impacts on our neighborhood that would result from approval of the pending applications include the following: First, the DB90 density bonus requested by the applicant would allow a structure up to 70 feet tall, or twice as tall as any other building in the neighborhood and three to four times as tall as most of the single-story homes that predominate in our neighborhood. A building that tall would be grossly out of proportion and would overshadow neighboring properties. This fact alone should cause the application to be rejected out-of-hand. Even the 40-foot maximum height that would be allowed under the Planning Department’s recommendation would result in a structure that looms over the other home on our street and would be inappropriate for that reason alone, especially considering …

[A. Azhar – 1st; A. Woods – 2nd] Vote: 11-0 [G. Anderson and C. Haney off the dais]. October 22, 2024 – Postponed to December 10, 2024 on the consent agenda at the request of the Neighborhood. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not support the applicant’s request for Multifamily Residential land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not support the appliant’s request for Multifamily Residential land use because staff has concerns about the limited vehicular access on Saxon Lane. The surrounding land uses are Single Family to the north, south and west of the property, with commercial land use to the east, across from Saxon Lane (proposed for Mixed Use in case NPA-2022-0005.01_Vargas Mixed Use). Although staff supported the Mixed Use land use on the adjacent property, because of the access issues with Saxon Lane, staff does not support increasing the density of the subject tract. See associated zoning case report C14-2024-0099 for details. Page 2 of 26 06 NPA-2024-0005.01 - Saxon 2; District 32 of 26 Planning Commission: January 14, 2025 The Montopolis Neighborhood Plan supports the creation of housing for all stages of life and also the preservation of single family housing. The proposed rezoning to MF-2-NP would add more housing to the planning area; however, the zoning staff case report details the issues regarding the vehicular access and impact on Saxon Lane which resulted in non- support for the proposed zoning change.

PROPERTY OWNER: Saxon Acres LLC (Matthew Shaw) AGENT: Thrower Design, LLC (Ron Thrower & Victoria Haase) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to deny the proposed rezoning from townhouse and condominium residence – neighborhood plan (SF-6-NP) combining district to multifamily residence (low density) – neighborhood plan (MF-2-NP) combining district.

The site is currently zoned townhouse and condominium residence – neighborhood plan (SF- 6-NP). The property has single family residential (SF-3-NP and LR-NP) to the north, south, east and west. There are multifamily residences, East Vue Ranch Apartments, (CS-MU-CO- NP) to the east. The properties to the north and west have various commercial uses, office uses and churches (LO-NP, LR-NP and GR-NP). To the east across Vargas Road are daycare facilities and storage facilities (GR-NP and CS-NP). The site is within 0.25 miles from a bus stop on El Mirando Street, however, trying to access would not be the most feasible option if there is not an access proposed to this street. The applicant did not provide trip counts for El Mirando Street when submitting counts for the Neighborhood Traffic Analysis Memo and it will not have vehicular access proposed. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). Due to the history on this site and the lack of improved infrastructure, staff is recommending the denial for the rezoning to multifamily residence (low density) – neighborhood plan (MF- 2-NP) combining district. This property previously sought a rezoning in 2020 from SF-3-NP to SF-6-NP. In the four-year time frame since this previously granted …

PROPERTY OWNER: Ponce Noe Ramses APPLICANT/AGENT: Lenworth Consulting, LLC (Nash Gonzales, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends CS-1-V-CO-NP, Commercial-Liquor Sales-Vertical Mixed Use Building-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The proposed conditional overlay maintains the conditions on Tract 18 from Ordinance No. 20100624-111 in the North Lamar Neighborhood Plan Rezoning case C14-2010-0048. Therefore, the following uses are conditional uses on the property: Automotive washing (of any type), Automotive repair services, Automotive sales, Hotel-motel, Drive-in service as an accessory use to a commercial use PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 14, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 09 C14-2024-0164 - Club Corona; District 41 of 12 C14-2024-0164 2 ISSUES: The applicant was granted an amnesty certificate of occupancy for the cocktail lounge use on this property in 2019 (please see Exhibit D). The amnesty CO for cocktail lounge use remains in effect until such time as the use is abandoned, changed to a new use, or the use is demolished. If the use ceases operations, but utility service remains (even if it’s transferred to a new owner) and the building fixtures remain intact, the use is not considered abandoned. The applicant is seeking zoning for the building in order to make improvements not covered by the regulations for Group “D” nonconforming uses (25-2-947 D) as well as for the back portion of the lot which is presently being used for a cocktail lounge use and doesn’t have the correct zoning. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 9,029 sq. ft. lot that is currently developed with a food sales use (Mi Sabor Oaxa Queno food truck) and a cocktail lounge use (Club Corona Bar). There are commercial uses to the north (Marketplace Austin) zoned CS-V-CO-NP. To the south, there are Automotive Sales and Automotive Repair businesses that are also zoned CS-V-CO-NP. The lot to the west is also zoned CS-V-CO-NP and is developed with an office for a construction sales and services use (Swim Pure). To the west, across N. Lamar Boulevard, there is a service station (Valero) zoned CS-NP.

The applicant agrees with staff’s alternate recommendation of CS-1-CO-NP. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The commercial-liquor sales district is intended predominately for commercial and industrial activities of a service nature which typically have operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments, and specifically includes liquor sales as a permitted use. The conditional overlay combining district 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. The neighborhood plan district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted neighborhood plan. 2. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. Staff recommends CS-1-CO-NP because the lot meets the intent of the CS-1 district as it is in the LINC shopping center with multiple other CS-1-CO-NP zonings. The applicant agreed with the alternate …
