Osborn) AGENT: Husch Blackwell LLP (Nikelle Meade) CASE MANAGER Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov ) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant downtown mixed use – conditional overlay (DMU- CO) combining district zoning. The conditional overlay limits building height to 60 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 11, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 10, 2021 ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 13B-11 C14-2021-0025 ISSUES: No issues identified on this request. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The subject rezoning tract is 0.1542 acres (~6,716 sq. ft.) located on the southwest corner of West 14th Street and Nueces Street. There is no minimum lot size for the requested DMU zone. The rezoning tract fronts on West 14th Street between Nueces Street and Rio Grande Street. Both sides of West 14th are zoned general office (GO). Two one-story residential buildings occupy the subject tract. The buildings are used as offices. The applicant has not filed a site plan application for redevelopment. The applicant proposes office mixed use with a total of 2 residences. The applicant requests rezoning from general office (GO) to downtown mixed use – conditional overlay (DMU-CO) combining district zoning. The condition is the maximum building height of 60 feet. Overlay Districts The subject tract is within the Downtown Austin Plan (DAP), in the Northwest District. It is not eligible for Density Bonuses. The rezoning site is outside of the Capitol Dominance Overlay and not in a Central Urban Renewal C.U.R.E. Overlay. It appears to be in the Capitol of Texas Highway, Capitol View Corridor (CVC). The CVC Overlay protects views of the Capitol from specific locations. A separate study by the Development Services Department, usually done at time of Site Planning, is necessary to understand the effect of the CVC on the building height or design. The subject tract is not in a National Register District and does not have City or State Landmark designations. Mixed Use The subject site is on a block that is residential in appearance though entirely zoned for office uses. The Proposed Zoning Changes Map (exhibit C) …

US HWY 290 SITE AREA: 0.612 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Speedy Stop Food Stores LLC (Joshua Teinert) AGENT: QT South LLC (David Meyer, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Kate Clark (512-974-1237, kate.clark@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends community commercial (GR) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 11, 2021 Scheduled for Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 3, 2021 Scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES There are no known issues at this time and staff has not received any written or emailed comments in favor of or in opposition to this rezoning case. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is located north of the intersection of W. US HWY 290 and FM 1826 and is approximately 0.612 acres. It is currently zoned RR and is developed with an existing service station. Adjacent zoning consists of PUD-NP to the north and east and GR-CO-NP to west. South of this property is US HWY 290 right-of-way and is not zoned, please see Exhibit A: Zoning Map and Exhibit B: Aerial Map. 1 of 10B-12 C14-2021-0036 2 This site is located over the Edwards Aquifer Contributing Zone. Project applications at the time of this report are subject to the SOS Ordinance that allows 25% impervious cover in the contributing zone, (see Environmental comments). The applicant is requesting GR district zoning to maintain the existing land use (service station) and to potentially provide additional access to US HWY 290 for neighboring properties. While this property is located within the boundaries of the Oakhill Combined Neighborhood Plan (West Oak Hill), it is not included in the neighborhood plan and does not have a designated use on the future land use map (FLUM). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. This property currently contains a service station and is located over the Edwards Aquifer Contributing Zone. Rezoning this property to GR would allow the existing land use to continue and provide flexibility should the property redevelop. 2. Zoning should promote the policy of locating retail and more intensive zoning near the intersections of arterial roadways. This property is currently only accessed from US HWY 290, a TxDot highway. Rezoning this property to GR would be consistent with …

The purpose of the Code amendment was to: 1) establish land use regulations for the innovation district that considers higher density via the maximum floor-to- area (FAR) requirement and no maximum building height limitation, 2) negotiate interlocal agreements as necessary to implement the Code amendment and support dense development on the property, and 3) work with Central Health to establish a set of land uses for the Property. Please refer to Exhibit B. On November 20, 2019, a code amendment was initiated and reviewed by the Codes and Ordinances Joint Committee (C20-2014-0130 – Central Health). On December 10, 2019, the Planning Commission recommended the code amendment with an additional condition that 100 residential units be affordable if multifamily residences are built on the property. The code amendment was scheduled for Council review in 2020, but withdrawn from the September 17, 2020 agenda. Planned unit development (PUD) zoning was determined to …

Provide for development standards that achieve equal or greater consistency with the goals in Section 1.1 (General Intent) than development under the regulations in the Land Development Code. Section 1.1 states that "[t]his division provides the procedures and minimum requirements for a planned unit development zoning district to implement the goals of preserving the natural environment, encouraging high quality development and innovative design, and ensuring adequate public facilities and services. The PUD provides a total amount of open space that equals or exceeds 10 percent of the residential tracts, 15 percent of the industrial tracts, and 20 percent of the nonresidential tracts within the PUD, except that: 1. a detention or filtration area is excluded from the calculation unless it is designed and maintained as an amenity; and The PUD encourages high quality development, improved mobility and connectivity, and adequate public facilities. The PUD will allow for the realignment of Red River Street through the subject property such that Red River Street connects in a straight alignment from 15th Street to 13th Street rather than remaining in its current configuration. The PUD will also allow for the redevelopment of property that is currently mostly vacant and largely underutilized since the closure of Brackenridge Hospital. The PUD requests waiver of this provision. The PUD will comply with the non-PUD open space requirements of the City Code. Additionally, PUD approval will result in the enhancement of nearby open space, since it will allow the City to close the ROW that is currently used as Red River Street and add it to the public amenities being developed in Waterloo Park. 4. 2.3.1.D 5. 2.3.1.E Provide a two-star Austin Energy Green Building rating The PUD development will earn a minimum two- star Austin Energy Green Building rating. 2. the required percentage of open space may be reduced for urban property with characteristics that make open space infeasible if other community benefits are provided Be consistent with applicable neighborhood plans, neighborhood conservation combining district regulations, historic area and landmark regulations, and compatible with adjacent property and land uses Consistency with Neighborhood Plan The property is located in …
Our concerns regarding a park between Senate Hills and new construction on adjacent property are numerous. These are a few: 5. 6. 1. 2. 4. 3. We will have a park as big as Zilker Park across the street in less than 2 years with concert space, children’s activities and playscapes, hiking, biking, and nature stations. It will be right across the street from developments; no need to have additional park between developments and all the problems it will bring to our neighborhood. Proposed park will be too small for the number of people living at the two adjacent multi-family developments. Proximity of a pavilion to properties on Tower St. It will increase noise, safety concerns and will infringe on privacy. Proximity of charcoal grills to residents on Tower, which will be a fire hazard and health hazard. How will access be monitored? This poses a MAJOR safety and crime concerns. We are not clear on how it will be maintained or how crime and violations will be monitored and handled. Austin Police Officer Andrew Kos confirmed on NextDoor app, APD cannot remove homeless individuals and will be allowed to camp in a public park. Remember, this park supposedly is between multifamily developments! Proximity of a children’s playscape to residents on Tower. There goes the quiet neighborhood! Proximity of a Half Way House on Connally Ln. with a history of overdoses, drug use in common spaces, open area sexual activity, and trespassing. This poses safety concerns. Private streets in new development, compared to Senate Hills’ public streets and thus creating parking issues, is a problem. The new subdivision will be already using the entrance to Senate Hills, so more congestion will occur in and out of our subdivision. Increased noise in close proximity to residents on Tower, Connally, and 10. Rayburn. Why is HOA President, Mr. Andy Creel, submitting the application instead of the developer/contractor as in original contract? Contract seems different than originally presented which many residents did not want to support? Submission is odd; timing is odd. Even developers changed as original developer went bankrupt. We really don’t need or want a park! 7. 11. 8. 9.

April 19, 2021 City of Austin Planning Commission Todd Shaw, Chair Claire Hempel, Vice Chair Yvette Flores, Secretary James Shieh, Parliamentarian Carmen Llanes-Pulido Jeffrey Thompson Awais Azhar João Paulo Connolly Patrick Howard Solveij Rosa Praxis Grayson Cox Jennifer Mushtaler Re: Senate Hills Park Dear Commissioners: Robert Schneider Arati Singh, Ex-Officio Don Leighton-Burwell, Ex-Officio Richard Mendoza, Ex-Officio We are writing to you today to communicate Senate Hills HOA’s strong support of the Senate Hills Park conditional use zoning case indicated above. This park is the result of over 3 years of public discussion, negotiation, and collaboration with the adjacent developer of “The Park at 51 East”, and will bring tremendous, long-term value to our communities. To summarize the agreement, the developer agreed to provide over $500,000 in community benefit to our neighborhood (including this park) in exchange for Senate Hills HOA’s permission to utilize our stormwater ponds for their development. This agreement includes provisions that the developer and future HOA will be responsible for maintenance, property taxes, and insurance for these common spaces in perpetuity. This agreement was voted in place by the members of the Senate Hills HOA through a series of well-advertised public meetings with a final vote of 76 in favor and 29 opposed (attorney certified vote results attached). We had 105 out of 153 homes represented in this vote! As indicated above, liability to the HOA, there was some opposition to this vote on the basis of crime/homelessness in the park, and noise/nuisance of park use. You’ll likely hear from some of the folks that remain opposed to the park. Be assured that their concerns were not dismissed but rather they were discussed at great length and led to stronger contractual protections in the agreement and the implementation of a series of rules for park use. This type of arrangement, where a developer provides immediate and significant benefit to the surrounding communities, is exceptionally rare, and is the best-case scenario of Austin’s development process. Developments often fall far short of this outcome, but we’re so close to achieving this lofty goal. The proposed development is well underway and the developer has received approval and access to utilize our stormwater ponds for their development. This represents the agreement’s full benefit to the developer. The Senate Hills HOA has received part of the proposed benefit (new fences, new jogging path, etc), but this park represents the large majority of …

B13 Commissioner Mushtaler: Staff Response: Planning Commission Q & A Report B1 and B2 Commissioner Mushtaler: Moore's Crossing on the consent agenda is requesting limited industrial but it does not contain any information about the use for the site. On the map it seems to be quite close to a number of SF-2 homes. Is there any additional information available? Staff Response: subsequent stage of the development process. Please note that both rezoning cases are located within Airport Overlay Zone 2 (AO-2) which does not allow for new residential use to occur. The existing residences across FM 973 to the west (south of ABIA) are also within the AO-2 Zone and existed prior to Council adoption of the Airport Overlay Zone ordinance in September 2001. They are considered non-conforming land uses. I am also trying to get a better understanding of the Central Health discussion item. Again, I don't see clear plans. It seems that this is no longer going to be actual medical use space but could be developed into a combination of residential/commercial? Most other PUD cases include an overall development plan that includes land uses and identifies their approximate location and acreage/square footage. However, in the Central Health PUD, the property owner has not yet determined future uses of the site. Instead, the goal of the Central Health PUD is to establish a consistent set of land use and site development regulations to enable redevelopment of the property, as established in an October 2020 Council Resolution. The Applicant anticipates that build-out of the property will occur over a 10-15 year period.
