ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: PC DATE: February 24, 2020 February 25, 2020 CASE NUMBER: C14H-2020-0011 APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission HISTORIC NAME: Lavada Durst (“Dr. Hepcat”) House WATERSHED: Boggy Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 1906 E. 21st Street ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP to SF-3-H-NP SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from single family residence, neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) combining district to single family residence – Historic Landmark – neighborhood plan (SF-3-H-NP) combining district zoning. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture and Historical Associations HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: Pending. Will be heard February 24, 2020 as a consent item. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house was moved from its location on E. 4th Street to its current location in 2019 to encourage its preservation, and was given to a community member who owns the 21st Street property after her house burned. The house was not recommended for designation in the East Austin Historic Resources Survey (2016). This house reflects a wealth of history in Austin and should be preserved at any cost. The house has significance as an example of mid-1920s working-class bungalow architecture, and long-term historical associations with Lavada Durst, a ground-breaker in race relations in Austin, bridging the gap between white and black through music and sports. Lavada Durst was the first African-American radio announcer in Austin, and brought the races together through his roles as emcee, performer, and director of the Rosewood Playground, promoting local talent presentations at traditionally white venues, such as the Hillside Theater in Zilker Park. He introduced white audiences to African-American music, and his contributions to race relations in Austin are invaluable and incalculable. ACTION: CITY COUNCIL DATE: March 26, 2020 ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: One-story, rectangular-plan, front-gabled frame bungalow with a partial-width inset porch; single and paired 1:1 fenestration; round attic vent in the tympanum of the front gable. ORDINANCE NUMBER: PHONE: 974-6454 1 of 33B-14 The house is a frame vernacular structure, that was a typical housing form for the working class of both races in Austin in the early 20th century; this house is a “step up” from simpler vernacular structures, which had board-and-batten, rather than wood siding, suggesting a higher economic status for the inhabitants of this house over the simpler, smaller working- class houses elsewhere in East Austin. The basic form and features of the …

SITE AREA: 1.3968 acres AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Richard T. Suttle, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Mark Graham 512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant central business district-central urban redevelopment (CBD-CURE) combining district with a change in a condition of zoning. The change is to clarify that the subject property is eligible to apply for the Downtown Density Bonus Program (DDBP) for a Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) exceeding 10:1. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments below. Small Area Planning Joint Committee The Small Area Planning Joint Committee reviewed the Block 190 case on Wednesday, February 19, 2020 and approved a motion: Motion by Hempel, 2nd by Thompson, to adopt staff recommendation for approval of CBD‐ CURE zoning with eligibility to apply for Downtown Density Bonus Program for a Floor Area Ratio exceeding 10:1. Motion approved on a 6‐0 vote, with Howard absent. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 25, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: March 12, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES No issues have been identified for this request. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS While the subject 1.4 acre (60,844 square foot) tract, locally known as 97 Red River Street, currently provides parking in the Rainey Street District, the applicant seeks zoning for an office or hotel building that with density bonuses could exceed 900,000 square feet. The rezoning application also lists a mix of accessory uses including a grocery and other retail and restaurant tenants. B-091 of 12 C14-2019-0138 2 Although the current zoning on the property provides Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) of 10:1, the owner requests the right to seek the 15:1 FAR. The higher limit is available in the Rainy Street District of the Waterfront Overlay through the Downtown Density Bonus Program. The proposed rezoning is intended to clarify that the property owner could seek increased Floor Area Ratios up to the 15:1 limit. The applicant requests keeping the existing CURE entitlements including a 10:1 FAR, and adding the option, clearly stated in the ordinance, to apply for more FAR through the Downtown Business Development Program. Background In the year 2000, when the …
Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Growth Concept Map and Downtown Austin Plan AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendments: 1. Amend Imagine Austin Growth Concept Map to reflect application of missing middle and transition area mapping ( no action required from PC ). 2. Amend text of Imagine Austin to clarify that residential uses are part of commercial and office future land use map designations. 3. Amend text and maps of the Downtown Austin Plan to reflect changes made by Austin City Council through two readings of the land development code revision. Background: The City Council voted on May 2, 2019 to establish several goals and priorities for the Land Development Code Revision, including: ● Increased housing capacity ● Expanded options for missing middle housing ● Relaxed compatibility standards ● Relaxed parking standards The comprehensive plan amendments discussed below support these priorities: Description and Proposed Language: 1. Amend Imagine Austin Growth Concept Map to reflect application of missing middle and transition area mapping ( no action required from PC ). On February 13, 2020, the City Council approved on 2nd reading an amendment to the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan delineating areas appropriate for increased “missing middle” housing options. The plan text and accompanying map, entitled “Missing Middle and Transition Area Land Use Designations,” included revisions to the initial draft previously recommended by Planning Commission concurrent with its November 12, 2019 action on the Land Development Code Revision. The revised text and map reflect direction from Council, as well as Planning Commission, to establish revised criteria for applying missing middle zones in “high opportunity areas” as determined under the Opportunity360 index. The map has been attached here for PC’s consideration, but no action from PC is needed. 2. Amend text of Imagine Austin to clarify that residential uses are part of commercial and office future land use map designations. 1 B-151 of 9 Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan Amendments: Growth Concept Map and Downtown Austin Plan To provide for greater inclusion of residential uses in commercial and office land use designations, the following amendment is proposed to page 107 of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan, in the section entitled “Growth Concept Map Series”: “While most new development will be absorbed by centers and corridors, development will happen in other areas within the city limits to serve neighborhood needs and create complete communities.
