Planning Commission May 10,2022 Item 22 ASMP Update _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Commissioners; I’m Joe Reynolds. I live on West 49th St I want to briefly discuss how defective planning leads to later failed projects. Planning in Austin often focuses only on a desired outcome, not on the costs or problems of implementation. That seems very true for this version of ASMP. The streets have been considered only based on issues seen with a map, weighted by other things like bicycle plans, etc. Many of the streets have ROW specifications that have very low likelihood of being realized. Think Hancock next to the Cemetery and with a State controlled bridge over MoPac. 49th St bordered on both side by State land, and a State parking garage. Barton Creek Rd with a railroad bridge. Other plans have been similar in focus, like the Trail Plan; “Downtown to the Domain”. This defective focus leads to trouble, because during implementation the Plan is taken to be Real; “It’s approved by Council.” So, the builders don’t look for trouble, but then find it. Implementation of the Trail Plan followed the selected route, and contracted for a paved path along Shoal Creek. They didn’t check for well known geologic conditions that made the route infeasible, namely the Del Rio Clay that makes Shoal creek banks very unstable. The resulting collapse now has a cost just under $20 million. ASMP is doing the same thing, choosing routes without listing limitations. Some, like the cemetery along Hancock will be obvious problems, caught during project implementation. Others, will not likely be caught. Barton Springs Rd at Lamar has a long history of hillside collapse. Yet, ASMP calls for wider ROW that would disturb the existing hillside, causing another collapse. ASPM similarly ignores things like pipeline ROW, and like the Trail Plan, ignores geology. ASMP should not be advanced until issues of implementation are identified, recognized, and clearly noted for following teams who are building projects. Plans must be more than just desires and objectives, they must include limitations and logistics. Thank You.

Brandy Maggio 810 W St Johns Ave Unit 1159 Austin, TX 78752 May 9th, 2022 I’m writing to oppose 2022-036792 ZC, which would permanently open the gate between Easy Wind and Morrow St and which they have been recently testing out. I have serious concerns around how this will impact the safety of the residents using the street. In particular, I’m worried about how it would disproportionately affect: 1) those with visual impairments and other disabilities who live in this area to be closer to transit and 2) the many children who live in the neighborhood and their families who chose this area to raise them. The neighborhood off of Easy Wind is extremely walkable and there are always people enjoying the day, strolling with their children, people walking dogs, and frequent bicycle riders on the road. The way the area is developed, it encourages people to cross Easy Wind frequently, as well as many side roads. For years, this has never been a problem; people driving around were not driving thru the neighborhood; they lived in the neighborhood and were respectful of their neighbors. They took a care for their safety. Since the gate was removed, I’ve noticed an increase in traffic going thru the neighborhood. Additionally, those who are driving out towards Morrow are driving at higher speeds. I, personally, have had one very close call with a car who was driving out of Easy Wind towards Morrow street and did not stop as I attempted to cross at an intersection. There have been other situations that were avoided primarily because I chose not to attempt to cross, even when I had the right of way. And I have full vision; I worry about the impact for my neighbors who are more limited. That easily could have been a tragedy. Children are also not always so wise, no matter how many times we tell them to look both ways. I’m assuming that part of the reason this is being opened is to allow for easier access of emergency vehicles. Or perhaps it was to allow an alternative route out of the area for the first responders who live in our neighborhood. I was also concerned when I saw the way the gate was closed off, with the lock and everything. I had hoped that the reason it was removed was to upgrade the barrier into something that first …

PROPERTY OWNER: TALEM INVESTMENTS LLC AGENT: McNair Consulting, LLC (Jason McNair) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends SF-3-NP, Family Residence-Neighborhood Plan Combining District, zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 26, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 12 C14-2022-0022 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The site under consideration is developed with a 979 sq. ft. single family house on an 8,908 sq. ft. lot. The properties to the north, east and west are developed with single family residences, zoned SF-2-NP. To the south, across, South Meadows Drive, there are single- family homes, zoned SF-2-NP, and a duplex residence, zoned SF-3-NP. The applicant is requesting SF-3-NP zoning so that he can add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to the property. The staff recommends SF-3-NP zoning at this location because the property meets the intent of the Family Residence zoning district. The proposed rezoning will promote consistency and orderly planning because there are numerous properties within this neighborhood that are zoned SF-3-NP. The lots directly behind/ to the north of this site are developed with duplex residences fronting N. Meadows Drive. The proposed addition of an ADU to this site will provide for more housing units in this area. The property in question is located within the North Austin Civic Association (NACA) Neighborhood Planning area. The current land use on the FLUM is Single Family and the proposed land use through proposed zoning change is Single Family. Therefore, a plan amendment is not required. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Family Residence district is intended as an area for moderate density single-family residential use, with a minimum lot size of 5,750 square feet. Duplex use is permitted under development standards which maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. This district is appropriate for existing single-family neighborhoods having typically moderate sized lot patterns, as well as for development of additional family housing areas with minimum land requirements. Neighborhood Plan district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed zoning will promote consistency and orderly planning because …

DESCRIPTION OF WAIVER: This item was a discussion item at the April 12th Planning Commission meeting, and the applicant has made adjustments to their proposed site plan based on the Planning Commission and community feedback. The applicant is requesting a waiver from § 25-2-1063. This site is subject to a 25’ compatibility setback and the proposed development is encroaching into the 25’ setback on the north and west property lines.

The west property line abuts an alley with an SF-3 property with a 5’ rear setback on the opposite side of the alley and the north property line abuts an SF-3 property with a 5’ interior side yard setback. After the previous meeting’s discussion, the applicant is now proposing to reorient their site with 5 units (36’ height) being setback 20’ from the north and west property lines. If approved, this waiver will not impact sightlines at the intersection of 14th Street and Cedar Avenue. COMPATIBILITY: Section 25-2-1051 states that Article 10 Compatibility Standards apply if a use in a SF-6 or less restrictive zoning district is located on a property across the street from or adjoining a property on which is zoned SF-5 or more restrictive or a use is permitted in a SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district is located. § 25-2-1063 - HEIGHT LIMITATIONS AND SETBACKS FOR LARGE SITES.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 12, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 1 of 25B-11 ISSUES: N/A DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: In this case, the applicant is requesting to amend a public restrictive covenant associated with zoning case C14-85-244 (Part 7) and executed on July 1, 1986 that prohibits new development on the Property from exceeding a maximum floor to area ratio (FAR) of 0.9:1, requires a public site plan review, requires that any development comply with the roadway map on page 40 of the Golden Triangle Area Study and states that at the time of subdivision approval the applicant will dedicate right-of-way to the City. Specifically, the applicant’s request is to remove these conditions for this 3.66 acre property so that development on this site can comply with the site development standards for the Commercial Mixed Use (CMU) subdistrict in the North Burnet Gateway Regulating Plan (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends the applicant’s request to delete the conditions of this public restrictive covenant for this site as the applicant is currently proposing to redevelop this property in accordance with the site development regulations approved in the North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan that allow for a 2:1 FAR on the property. The tract of land under consideration is currently developed with a hotel/motel use.
