Commissioners, In the public hearing I presented issues with traffic associated with the proposed project at 7113 Burnet. In this piece I want to look closely at the utility of the shared access negotiated for using the parking lot of the shopping center just north. It is proposed, because direct Burnet Rd access is blocked by the left turn lane of the Greenlawn traffic signal. The parking lot has the traffic signal at Greenlawn and Burnet to access Burnet Rd travel. Here is what the traffic layout looks like. You can see that the turn lane obstructs southbound access. This same issue was considered in the Burnet Road Corridor Study The route would seem to solve an access issue the project otherwise encounters. Closer examination shows that it is inadequate. The route was informal at the time, and was lightly used by the Dallas Nightclub; their traffic was at times when Burnet Rd traffic was minimal, and the left turn lane could be ignored. The proposed project will generate trips and traffic is more conflicted times, so the turn lane obstruction is a real issue. The bar traffic was 2 trips per vehicle, enter and exit. Residences generate about 5 trips per day per vehicle. And, the vehicle count will be comparable. The population presented as residents will generate trips that are part of the morning and evening rush, and during mid-day as well. Traffic will not be studied by City Staff until Site Plan Review. That review must consider how Burnet access is provided. The vehicle types, and placement of building portals are controlling issues. Just from customary vehicle use, the shared route through the parking lot will be inadequate. As I said in my presentation, such a route is not in any traffic engineer’s handbook. Here are specific issues. First notice the difference in elevation of the two parking lots. And, that the ramp slopes at about 12% to 16% grade to match the elevations. And, the ramp is constrained on the top side by buildings and customer parking. This forces ramp use to start and end with a turn. For trucks, this is an ‘S’ turn: cab turns in, cab goes to exit while truck tail is still hasn’t entered, cab must start turn to avoid parking and building, truck tail enters ramp and immediately begins turn to exit. As seen here, the route through the parking …

City of Austin Planning Commission Continued Hearing on Rezoning Application 7113 Burnet Road, Item 2 - June 8, 2021 Comments by Janis Reinken Mr. Chairman and Members of the Commission, I am Janis Reinken, a resident of District 7 in Allandale; I serve on the Allandale Neighborhood Association Board. Today, I represent myself, and I urge you to vote NO on this MF-6 request, and adopt the recommendation of your Senior Planner for MF-4. CSW Cart has requested a zoning change for 7113 Burnet Road from Commercial use to MF-6-NP. The Senior Planner has recommended approval of MF-4-NP, which would grant authority for multifamily residential use with moderately high density, in conjunction with the Crestview neighborhood plan. The 60-foot maximum height of a MF-4 structure matches the current Commercial zoning allowance of 60- foot height for this property. Here’s why I concur with the Senior Planner’s recommendation of MF-4-NP. The Burnet Road area has several apartment complexes: The Marq; 6444 Burnet Road; many apartments and condos on Northcross Drive and Foster Lane west of Burnet; and a large complex under construction on Anderson Lane west of Wal-Mart. And just so you know, the price of a 1/1 at the Marq is going for over $1600/mo; a 2/2 costs more than $2200/mo. There is also a huge apartment complex east of Burnet on Koenig, The Pearl. Your decision will have broader impact than just the future development of this particular tract. With MF- 6 upzoning, this has the potential of setting in motion irreversible, adverse effects on three neighborhoods: Crestview, Allandale, and Brentwood. It seems that there is a push in the development community to upzone not just this property to MF-6, but other properties along Burnet Road between Koenig Lane and Anderson Lane. This would be the first domino. The height (whether 75 feet or up to 90 feet) would overshadow residential properties and commercial properties. It would be overwhelming for small business owners and for homeowners. If the City seeks to build communities, this upzoning over and above staff recommendations will do the opposite. This stretch of Burnet Road is the “main street” for these neighborhoods – it is where we do commerce with drycleaners, restaurants, phone and watch repair shops, insurance, healthcare, retail merchants, and more. It is served by CapMetro bus lines and Burnet Road traffic flow is moderate, as you can see from photos I submitted …

Lamar - District 5. City of Austin Planning Commission, Thank you for postponing this hearing, allowing us to meet with the applicant to discuss and clarify the major issues listed in our letter of opposition in May. I am here to report on the results of our meeting with the applicant last Friday. Last night the Executive Committee of the Zilker Neighborhood Association voted to continue ZNA’s support of the redevelopment of these parcels on South Lamar under the existing VMU zoning, and to support the extension of the VMU overlay to Tract 1 at 2700 S. Lamar if the owner requests it. This decision was based on information extracted from the applicant on Friday. The ZNA zoning committee has calculated that the existing zoning, with VMU extended to Tract 1, could result in 483 residential units on 86% impervious cover. With MF6 zoning, the owner proposes to build 480 units in 8 floors and 80% impervious cover. The increased entitlements of MF6 would actually allow 686 units, but this is probably reduced by compatibility setbacks for height. The concept plan presented by the owner would likely contain only 463 units, if one assumes that most of the ground floor would be taken up by parking. Subchapter E includes standards and incentives explicitly for the development of Vertical Mixed Use (VMU) buildings. Subchapter E, Article 4 states: "The mixed use provisions define the uses of land and the siting and character of the improvements …

PC June 8, 2021 Q & A Report Item B-13 (E) Commissioner Schneider Questions / Staff Response I’d like to get a better understanding of the redevelopment exception under SOS, since a significant portion of the site is in the Barton Springs Zone. Have there been previous cases in the Barton Springs zone where an applicant claimed a redevelopment exception? Yes – these are not unusual. What sort of detention, if any, was required for those sites? Please see below for the rest of these questions. How much impervious cover was allowed? On this project, what sort of detention ponds might be required? Is that determined, in part, but the number of units, the number of vehicle trips, or other requirements? The governing code is LDC 25-8-26. The questions above are answered in sections E and F which are copied below, with a few modifications to make it more understandable.
