Initiation of code amendment regarding City Code Title 25 relating to sign regulations in the University Neighborhood Overlay (UNO) District. Staff Memorandum: http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=340844 Minutes: http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=347760
sANA June 27,2020 Dear Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, and Council Members The Springdale-Airport Neighborhood Association (SANA) supports the request for Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning at 10ll and 1017 Springdale Rd. The developer has presented SANA with a proposal that includes, among other things, increased height, while also providing environmental and community benefits. These include restoring much of the vegetation and creek areas, providing a public trail easement, staying significantly below allowable impervious cover, and helping fund affordable housing. For years, this property was a tank farm, until the community successfully pushed to have it closed. By restoring many of the natural areas here, we believe this development is helping address the tank farm's legacy of environmental damage. In addition, we also support the proposal's consideration of the community's current and future needs. While the fact that this property was a tank farm prevents a residential development here, the developer has proposed to help fund affordable housing for the community and to provide a 50 ft. trail easement to connect the neighborhood to a future City trail south of the property. SANA supports this request for PUD zoning, which would secure these environmental and community benefits, and in retum would grant the applicant's request for the ability to build up to I5 ft. of height at 85 ft. from nearby single-family lots and up to 90 ft. of height at 140 ft. On a personal note, as someone who saw firsthand what the tank farm did to friends and family, I look forward to seeing this site turned into a project focused on sustainability and the environment. We appreciate your consideration. Sincerely, Pt R (..r-.^o. Pete Rivera, President
From: Anne Lewis < Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2021 3:05 PM To: Rivera, Andrew <Andrew.Rivera@austintexas.gov>; Subject: Lessin Lane Villas *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To the Planning Commissioners, I am writing in opposition to the waiver of setbacks for retention ponds proposed by the developer at Lessin Lane Villas. I live within 500 feet. The developer has already won an automatic upzoning from the City in opposition to neighbors who felt this was inappropriate and would damage their quality of life. There's simply got to be some stopping point for the developer's actions in violation of the rules that should protect us. The developer will never have to live in what's left of our community. This is sheer profit gouging with disregard and disrespect for our community. Surely the City can stop collaborating and give some priority to people who have lived and paid taxes here for 20 plus years. Anne Lewis From: Carmen Hernandez < Sent: Friday, March 19, 2021 12:29 PM To: Rivera, Andrew <Andrew.Rivera@austintexas.gov> Subject: Re: Lessin Lane Villas Thank you, Andrew. I would like to state my concern with the 25-2-1063 waiver. As I understand it the builder is asking for this waiver in regards to the retention ponds. As the homeowner directly next door to the property with my front door and upstairs balcony facing the property, one concern is that the builder will take liberties with this waiver and build house #10 much closer to my fence line. I have read code 25-2-1063 online and as I understand it limits the structure height to "two stories and 30 feet, if the structure is 50 feet or less from property". Granting a waiver of this code would give the builder an opportunity to build a very large house directly in front of my front door; thereby blocking all views. My third concern is the potential and inevitable flooding to houses near the creek. Thank you.

From: Lawrence Sunderland < Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2021 8:58 AM To: Rivera, Andrew <Andrew.Rivera@austintexas.gov> Subject: Parker Lane *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Andrew, As a member of the EROC contact team I would first like to express my support for The Methodist Church and Foundation Communities proposal. When the Methodist Church was active it housed a number of community organizations that served a real need in our neighborhood. Unfortunately they were not able to maintain that effort. Now teaming with Foundation Communities they will once again bring real value for an underserved segment of our community. Foundation Communities is already established in our neighborhood and has demonstrated a very high level of commitment and expertise to providing affordable housing and services for its residents. Secondly I oppose any efforts to delay moving this proposal forward. Those in the neighborhood who would suggest that other alternatives are possible have not shown us anything that is remotely achievable. The contact team should only respond to viable proposals. I have asked for a rational, from leadership, for promoting irrelevant proposals. I have not received a response. Larry Sunderland
Questions and Answers Planning Commission Meeting March 23, 2021 Questions Shaw / Response (blue) Staff/ Applicant Response (green) Item B3- C814-2020-0104 - Springdale Green PUD • For the Tier 1 Requirements 2.3.2.A and 2.3.2.B, Applicant proposes Alternative Equivalent Compliance. Please explain where this is allowed within the land code and provide examples. Alternative Equivalent Compliance is an allowance within Subchapter E (section 1.5) that allows for unique design considerations when strict compliance is not attainable. Specifically, “To encourage creative and original design, and to accommodate projects where the particular site conditions or the proposed use prevent strict compliance with this Subchapter, alternative equivalent compliance allows development to occur in a manner that meets the intent of this Subchapter, yet through an alternative design that does not strictly adhere to the Subchapter's standards. The procedure is not a general waiver of regulations. Alternative equivalent compliance shall not be used when the desired departure from the standards of this Subchapter could be achieved using the minor modification process in Section 1.4.” AEC is site and design specific – a specific AEC request is done by an applicant during the site plan review explaining exactly which section of Subchapter E (design standards) cannot be met, why it cannot be met (based on the site, use, or combination), and exactly what alternatives the applicant is proposing for the site instead. Examples may include less building pulled up to the sidewalk than strictly required, with the alternative being a more robust supplemental zone offering pedestrian amenities beyond which the code requires. Another example could be about open space: the code limits only 50% of the open space above the ground floor. An alternative might be 80% is above the ground floor, but they are providing twice as much open space square footage as is minimally required. • Every AEC request is evaluated on an individual basis. It is not guaranteed that AEC is granted, but in most cases, the design professionals are able to work with staff and eventually come up with an AEC plan that works for the site, where strict compliance cannot be met. The current site plan includes Alternative Equivalent Compliance with Subchapter E, including the following: Project proposes street tree plantings along Springdale Road (an Urban Roadway) that are not required under Subchapter E; Project proposes silva cell root systems for the street trees that provide at least 800 cubic feet …
