CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: Applicant seeks zoning to build 330 residential units on the 4.3881 acre (191,145 sq. ft.) parcel of land at 7113 and 7115 Burnet Road. The requested zoning is multi-family residence - highest density-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (MF-6-CO-NP) combining district zoning. The CO would establish a 20-foot building setback from the rear property line. Current Conditions The site is a commercial development with a parking lot fronting Burnet Road.

AZHAR 2ND] (12-0) CHAIR SHAW - ABSENT CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be scheduled RESTRICTIVE COVENANT TERMINATION RECORDING NUMBER: 1 of 12B-3 C14-72-032(RCT) 2 ISSUES There are three related land use cases: The Neighborhood Plan Amendment, case NPA-2021- 0017.01 to change the FLUM from Commercial to Multi-family residential land use; The Rezoning case C14-2021-0044 requesting MF-6-CO-NP zoning; and this case requesting termination of the Restrictive Covenant that established a 20 foot building setback on the LO- CO-NP zoned tract; CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject Restrictive Covenant is less restrictive than current compatibility standards in the Austin Land Development Code. At the time that the subject property zoning was changed from residential to office in 1973, Restrictive Covenants were used to provide an increased setback between the office and the houses on Hardy Circle. The City has since changed to using a conditional overlay (CO) to make development standards more restrictive through the zoning ordinance instead of Restrictive Covenants. Applicant is requesting the termination of the Restrictive Covenant which established a twenty- foot building setback from the north property line of the 48,638 square foot tract of land that was rezoned from residential to office in 1973 (Ordinance No. 73 0628-D). The Restrictive Covenant is recorded in volume 4674, page 2281 of the Deed Records of Travis County, Texas. Paragraph number 1. “No Building or any part thereof shall be located within twenty (20) feet of the north property line of said property”. Please refer to Exhibit “C”. Compatibility Standards in Article 10 (LDC 25-2-1063) apply to the subject site because it is located next to SF-3-NP zoning and the development site is bigger than 20,000 square feet. The minimum setback is 25 feet from …
