MEMORANDUM TO: Chair and Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Andrei Lubomudrov Housing and Planning Department DATE: January 25, 2021 RE: Proposed annexation of 36 properties (approximately 115.4 acres) into Travis County Water Control and Improvement District No. 10 (District) C12M-2020-0137 On November 19, 2020, the City received an application requesting the City’s consent to the annexation of approximately 115.4 acres into Travis County Water Control and Improvement District No. 10 (District). The subject tracts are located south of Barton Creek Road approximately 2,000 to 2,500 feet southwest of the intersection of Canyon Rim Drive and FM 2244 in Austin’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) and in the Barton Creek Watershed. The District includes properties in western Travis County and is located in the City of Austin’s ETJ. A map identifying the tracts to be annexed into the District and its location relative to existing District boundaries and City jurisdictions is attached. The assigned case number is C12M-2020- 0137. Applicant’s Proposal The 36 properties requesting annexation are currently served by the Camelot Water Supply Corporation, which was formed to serve the Lower Camelot neighborhood and now purchases water from Travis County WCID 10 as a wholesale customer. In light of aging infrastructure, the properties served by Camelot have entered into an agreement with the District to be annexed and receive upgraded infrastructure as fully annexed ratepayers. The annexation would also enable the installation of high-pressure fire hydrants, which would be valuable in mitigating potential damage from wildfires in the area. Representatives of the property owners appeared before the District’s Board of Directors at its meeting on March 11, 2020, and the District Board approved the annexation request contingent upon receiving the City’s approval of the District’s annexation of the property. 1 1 of 4B-5 • • • • • • City Review Process The Agreement Concerning Creation of the Travis County Water Control and Improvement District No. 10 (Consent Agreement) requires City approval for the annexation of land by the District. The District is considered a “noncity service district” and as such, the City is not authorized to place restrictions or conditions on this consent. If the City fails or refuses to consent within 90 days of receipt of a written request, the owner may petition the City to make available those services to be provided by the District. Failure to execute a mutually agreeable contract for services within 120 days constitutes …

Congress, I wanted to let you know that I am very much opposed to the exemption for case # SP-2019-0600C. If you allow the park land access exemption in this case, you will be setting a horrible precedent. Allowing this exemption tells all future developers that they can promise whatever they need to in order to get approval for a permit to build. And they know that they won’t be held accountable and will only have to pay a fine to essentially do whatever they wanted to do in the first place. This is simply not acceptable, so please vote NO! on this exemption. Thank you for your time.

Cardwell, IV) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MI-PDA, Major Industrial-Planned Development Area Combining District, zoning. The PDA amendment will permit the Pet Services use within this area of PDA. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 26, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-3 C14-2020-0154 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question (The Domain-Northside site) is currently developed with a mixture of high density residential, office and commercial uses. In this rezoning request, the applicant is asking for an amendment to the conditions the Planned Development Area (PDA) overlay in Ordinance No. 20150611-033 to permit the Pet Services use within this area of the Domain/MI-PDA. The staff recommends the applicant’s request to amend the Planned Development Area overlay to permit an additional use in this area of the Domain development. The staff recommendation would allow for a dog grooming business (Pet Services use) within this 7+ acre area located in the northeastern portion of the Domain development. The staff believes the proposed amendment is consistent with the uses permitted within the Domain. Therefore, the PDA amendment will not alter the intent of the approved MI-PDA designation for this site. The proposed MI-PDA zoning will allow for a mixture of high-density residential uses, office uses, commercial uses, and industrial uses to be developed on the property in question. The location of the site is appropriate for the proposed mixture and intensity of uses because the site is located between three major roadways, MOPAC Expressway North, Burnet Road, and Braker Lane. The property in question is within the North Burnet/Gateway Combined Neighborhood Planning Area and is adjacent to the North Burnet/Gateway Transit Oriented Development District (TOD). The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should …

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 26, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: February 4, 2021 ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-4 C14-2020-0128 2 ISSUES: This is a City initiated case on October 29, 2020 per Council Resolution No. 20201029- SPEC001. Please see Exhibit C. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 33+ acre tract of land that fronts onto Kramer Lane and is located within the North Burnet/Gateway Combined Neighborhood Planning Area. The site is currently zoned NBG-TOD-NP, North Burnet/Gateway-Transit Oriented Development- Neighborhood Plan Combining District. The Austin City Council passed a resolution on October 29, 2020 to initiate an amendment to the North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan to remove the property and to rezone it to the P, Public District, to permit the development of an electric substation at this location. The site under consideration is currently developed with outdoor storage and warehouses that are used as a maintenance and service facility for City of Austin Fleet Services.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: PC DATE: November 16, 2020 December 14, 2020 January 26, 2021 CASE NUMBER: C14H-2021-0006 (Formerly HDP-2020-0440) APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission HISTORIC NAME: Delta Kappa Gamma Building WATERSHED: Shoal Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 416 W. 12th Street Council District: 9 ZONING FROM: GO to DMU-H-CO SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from general office (GO) district to downtown mixed use – Historic Landmark (DMU-H) combining district zoning. While staff appreciates the property owners’ dilemma in what they now view as a financial and maintenance burden, the building has demonstrated significance as reflected by its individual inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. National Register designation in and of itself does not prevent modification or even demolition of the building, but in the City of Austin, National Register designation does automatically qualify a building as eligible for landmark designation, which does place a barrier on demolition. Staff cannot recommend that a building individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places should be demolished, and must recommend landmark designation for the building to determine if the Commission or the Planning Commission, and ultimately the City Council votes to grant the building historic zoning. Given the architecture and history of this building, staff would recommend landmark designation even if the building were not listed on the National Register. In the meantime, staff recommends that the applicant for the demolition permit continue to develop proposals to incorporate the building into new development plans for the site, which staff acknowledges may preclude the construction of a high-rise building on this site. In staff’s evaluation, preserving portions of the exterior finishes of the building into an interior space of the proposed new building is not sufficiently respectful of the integrity, design, and significance of the existing building. Continuing conversations about the relationship of historic and new may result in a proposal that is much more palatable to both the owners of the building and the interests of preserving buildings that have demonstrated historical significance. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: November 16, 2020: Initiated historic zoning. Vote: 9-0-2 (Papavasiliou and Jacob off-dais). December 14, 2020: Recommended historic zoning (Tollett/Koch). Vote: 9-0-1 (Papavasiliou absent; Featherston abstaining).

Staff recommends the project because it would be compatible with residential housing adjacency; provide owner occupied infill housing; and is supported by housing policies and text found in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan, the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan, and the Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint. Below are excerpts from the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan that supports infill housing and small-lot single family housing in this portion of the planning area. Goal 1: Preserve established residential areas and improve opportunities for home ownership by promoting the rehabilitation of existing housing and new, infill housing compatible with the existing style of this neighborhood.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION: February 18, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES B-61 of 19 C14-2020-0112 2 Applicant requested DMU district zoning that allows for a maximum of 120-foot building height. Applicant also indicated that they would seek a Downtown Density Bonus to achieve additional building height. The building designs presented to the Historic Landmark Commission in October 2020 were almost 360 feet tall. The staff recommendation of DMU-H-CO with the Conditional Overlay limiting building height to 60 feet would not permit the proposed building. If the Staff recommendation is approved by Council, a subsequent rezoning application to DMU without a Conditional Overlay would be required to obtain and use the Downtown Density Bonus Program for bonus height and Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) to achieve the entitlement to build over 60 feet. At their November 16, 2020 meeting, the Historic Landmark Commission (HLC) requested that City staff prepare a Historic zoning application for the Delta Kappa Gamma Building. On December 14, 2020, HLC recommended historic (H) district zoning be added to the zoning string of the property.
