M E M O R A N D U M TO: Planning Commission members FROM: Cara Bertron, Deputy Historic Preservation Officer Planning and Zoning Department DATE: August 10, 2020 SUBJECT: Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District C14H-2020-0069 The Applicant has submitted a revised boundary map for the proposed Rogers Washington Holy Cross Historic District, after extensive discussions with neighbors. Staff believes that the integrity of the district will not be substantially compromised and does not object to the change. With the revised boundaries, the proposed district contains 55 properties, 46 of which are contributing (83.6%). The district maintains a high level of support among property owners: the owners of 55% of the land area within the district cast ballots in favor of historic district zoning, while 3.4% were opposed. The application will be amended prior to the City Council hearing to remove the excluded properties from the survey forms and property inventory. If you have any questions about this item, please contact me at cara.bertron@austintexas.gov or (512) 974- 1446. I will also be available to answer questions at the August 11, 2020 meeting.

August 7, 2020 RE: Rezoning Case: C14-2020-0042 Neighborhood Plan Amendment: NPA-2020-0014.01 Honorable Commissioners, Los Arboles Homeonwers Association supports the request for rezoning from LI-NP Limited Industrial to MF-4-NP Multifamily Residential (C14-2020-0042), and amendment of the SE Combined Neighborhood Plan (NPA-2020-0014.01) at 7135 E Ben White Blvd Service Rd Eastbound. Los Arboles is a community of 314 single family homes; the west border is on Nuckols Crossing Rd and the east border is the green space separating Los Arboles from Stassney Rd, just a little south of Burleson Rd. The area along Burleson Rd and Stassney Rd/Montopolis Dr from Hwy 71 (Ben White Blvd) to Hwy 183 has had numerous industrial complexes built in recent years. Currently TXDOT is building their headquarters off of Stassney Rd on the other side of the green space from Los Arboles. Allowing residential use at 7135 E Ben White would balance all of the industry and give workers an opportunity to live close to where they work. The Applicant has committed to affordable housing of 10% of the units at 80% MFI for a minimum of 40 years plus discounts to teachers and ABIA employees. Additionally, this residential property would include parkland and a hiking trail that would extend to a current trail and open to the public. Los Arboles supports this residential use as appropriate and useful for the community. Respectfully On behalf of the Los Arboles Homeowners’ Association, Laurel Francel Los Arboles HOA Vice President/Secretary 5609 Apple Orchard Lane Austin, TX 78744 l.francel@yahoo.com

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2020-0062 Webberville ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP TO: SF-6-NP ADDRESS: 1907 Webberville Road SITE AREA: 11.643 Acres PROPERTY OWNERS/APPLICANT: Webberville Holdings, LLC (Elisa Jiang and Haung Lung Wang) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request of SF-6-NP. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 3. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 28, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be determined ORDINANCE NUMBER: AGENT: Storybuilt (Jarred Corbell) 1 of 8B-08 C14-2020-0062 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located between Webberville Road and Tannehill Lane, approximately 500 feet north of Samuel Huston Avenue. The property is zoned SF-3-NP and is undeveloped. Immediately to the south is land zoned MF-3-NP and SF-3-NP. Both areas are developed with single family residential land uses. Immediately to the north is SF-3-NP that is developed with religious assembly land use. Across Webberville Road to the west is primarily property zoned SF-3-NP that is developed with single family land uses—the area also includes small areas of SF-4A-NP and SF-6-NP with higher density residential uses. Across Tannehill Lane to the east is property zoned MF-2-CO-NP that is developed with religious assembly land use. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the requested SF-6-NP. The property has significant topographic constraints, with elevations ranging from 520 feet to 560 feet. The current SF-3-NP zoning and this topography makes it difficult to develop with consistently and reasonably sized buildable lots. Under SF-3-NP zoning, development of this site would require numerous flag lots and/or require an interior street which requires more impervious cover. SF-6-NP is the most restrictive zoning category that would allow the units to be developed in a clustered manner. Clustered residential units will allow development around the existing topography and reduce the level of impervious cover that would be needed to construct single family residential access. BASIS FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Townhouse and condominium residence (SF-6) district is the designation for a moderate density single family, duplex, two-family, townhouse, and condominium use that is not subject to the spacing and location requirements for townhouse and condominium use in an SF-5 district. An SF-6 district designation may be applied to a use in an area with …
C14-2019-0108 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 5 CASE: C14-2019-0108 Parker House ZONING FROM: GO-H-NP and MF-4-H-NP TO: GO-H-NP (Tract 1) and MF-4-NP (Tract 2), as amended ADDRESS: 2404 Rio Grande Street SITE AREA: 0.3245 Acres PROPERTY OWNER/APPLICANT: 2404 Rio Grande St. LP (William Archer) AGENT: South Llano Strategies (Glen Coleman) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request to rezone the property to GO-H-NP on Tract 1 and MF-4-NP on Tract 2, with conditions. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: May 18, 2020: TO DENY THE REMOVAL OF HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION (H-) FROM TRACT 2 (7-0). [Myer- 1st, Little- 2nd; Reed, Jacob, Koch, Papavasiliou- Absent] PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: July 28, 2020: June 23, 2020: To grant postponement to July 28, 2020 as requested by Applicant, on consent. May 26, 2020: To grant postponement to June 23, 2020 as requested by Neighborhood, on consent. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 30, 2020: June 4, 2020: To grant postponement to July 30, 2020 as requested by Staff, on consent. ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 8B-09 C14-2019-0108 2 ISSUES: The Applicant proposes removing the historic landmark designation (H-) from the rear of the property (Tract 2 only) and adjusting the boundary of the MF-4 area and the GO area. This would allow redevelopment of Tract 2. No change to the historic landmark designation is proposed on Tract 1, where the Parker House building is located. No changes to the Parker House structure are proposed. The Applicant previously requested higher intensity-mixed use zoning on the property and has amended the request twice to reduce the intensity of the zoning requested. The current amendment to the rezoning is a result of additional research by the Applicant into the West Campus/University Neighborhood Overlay (UNO). The Applicant has determined that their land use and redevelopment goals can be achieved under UNO if the H- designation is removed from Tract 2. Staff supports the current rezoning request with conditions. The Applicant proposes that the existing GO-H-NP zoning on Tract 1 extend 10 feet from the rear of the Parker House structure, and MF-4-NP for Tract 2. Staff recommends a 15-foot setback. Currently the GO- approximately 24 feet from the rear of the Parker House structure. The Historic Landmark Commission voted 7-0 to deny the request to remove the H- …
C14-2020-0067 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0067 – 3504 S. 1st Street Rezoning DISTRICT: 3 ZONING FROM: CS-CO TO: CS-MU-V-CO ADDRESS: 3504 South 1st Street SITE AREA: 0.84 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Merc Properties LTD (Daryl Kunik) AGENT: Armbrust & Brown,PLLC (Richard Suttle) CASE MANAGER: Kate Clark (512-974-1237, kate.clark@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends general commercial services – mixed use – vertical mixed use building – conditional overlay (CS-MU-V-CO) combining district zoning. The conditional overlay is to carry over existing prohibited uses. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 28, 2020 Scheduled for Planning Commission August 27, 2020 Planned to be Scheduled for City Council CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES Staff has received comments both in favor of and in opposition to this rezoning case. For all communication, please see Exhibit C: Correspondence Received. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is approximately 0.84 acres. Adjacent to the north is a tract zoned CS-V, to the east is South 1st Street and across South 1st Street are tracts zoned MF-3-NP and LR-CO-NP. Adjacent to the south is a tract zoned MF-3 and to the west is SF-3 zoning. This property is subject to an existing Ordinance (20070405-043) which limits the number of trips per day, caps 1 of 12B-10 C14-2020-0067 2 development on the property to 40 feet and prohibits a set of uses. The applicant is requesting to remove the trip limitations and building height restriction but carry over the existing list of prohibited uses. Those uses include the following: Adult-oriented businesses Automotive rentals Automotive repair services Automotive sales Automotive washing (of any kind) BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Bail bond services Commercial blood plasma center Convenience storage Pawn shop services Vehicle storage 1. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The applicant is requesting to rezone from CS-CO to CS-MU-V-CO. This property is in between CS-V and MF-3 zoned tracts. Allowing for a mix of uses on this site would help in transition between zoning districts. Additionally, this property is located on a Core Transit Corridor as defined by the current City Land Development Code specifically designated to allow for the Vertical Mixed Use Overlay District. Rezoning this property to CS-MU-V-CO would not be inconsistent with the existing land use pattern.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2020-0064 6007 IH 35 Residences ZONING FROM: CS-MU-NP TO: CS-MU-V-NP ADDRESS: 6007 IH 35 Service Road Northbound SITE AREA: 2.496 Acres PROPERTY OWNERS/APPLICANT: Binary Hospitality, LLC (Vijay Patel) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request of CS-MU-V-NP. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 3. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 28, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be determined ORDINANCE NUMBER: AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Alice Glasco) 1 of 8B-12 C14-2020-0064 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located at the southeast corner of IH 35 and US 290. The rezoning tract is located on a vacant parcel adjacent to a small shopping center. The shopping center includes a mix of retail and restaurant uses; the whole property, including the rezoning tract, is zoned CS-MU-NP. To the east of the property is a multifamily complex zoned MF-4-NP. Across Clayton Lane to the south is property zoned CS-1-MU-NP that is developed with a hotel that contains a cocktail lounge. In the surrounding area southeast of IH 35 and US 290, other nearby zoning categories include CS-MU-NP and GR-MU-CO-NP. The properties on the frontage roads are used for a mix of commercial and religious assembly uses; the properties further from the highways are developed with multifamily land use. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The Applicant is requesting the rezoning to allow development of 269 multifamily units with 27 of those units to be certified affordable units. As a VMU project, the Applicant is also proposing approximately 3,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space. Staff supports the request to add the V- designation because vertical mixed use (VMU) allows greater residential density while requiring affordable units. Historically, VMU has been located on core transit corridors; neither IH 35 nor US 290 are designated as such, but transit is available immediately adjacent to the rezoning tract on Clayton Lane. A mixed use development at this site will provide a transition from the commercial uses along IH 35 and US 290 and the multifamily properties to the east and southeast. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. 2. Zoning should promote clearly-identified community goals, such as creating employment opportunities …

PROPERTY OWNER: Terrance Mountain Investors I LLC (Frank Trabold) AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff’s recommendation is to grant downtown mixed use – conditional overlay (DMU-CO) combining district zoning with the conditional overlay limiting building height to 60 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 28, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: August 27, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The applicant requests rezoning from general commercial services (CS) to downtown mixed use – conditional overlay (DMU-CO) combining district zoning. The conditional overlay would limit building height to sixty feet per the Downtown Area Plan. The subject property is 0.38 acre (16,500 square foot) tract on the south side of West 12th Street, between North Lamar Boulevard and Shoal Creek Boulevard. The tract is about 240 feet east of North Lamar and 100 feet west of Shoal Creek Boulevard, and the east property line of the subject property is the Shoal Creek greenbelt. 1 of 12B-14 C14-2020-0052 2 The existing one-story building is a sandwich shop sited about 12 feet from West 12th Street with parking west of the building. Demolition of the building is proposed. The FEMA Floodplain extends along West 12th Street from the intersection with Shoal Creek west to about 150 feet from Baylor Street. In other words, the entire property is within the Floodplain. The proposed use of the parcel is listed as mixed use on the zoning application. Downtown Austin Plan The subject property is within the Downtown Austin Plan – Market / Lamar District boundaries adopted by the City Council on December 8, 2011. That plan produced a recommended rezoning map with proposed building heights limits. The recommendations were not implemented by rezoning all of the affected properties. Instead, they guide Staff recommendations for rezoning and for the conditional overlay recommendation on building height limits. The proposed zoning for the subject parcel in the DAP is DMU-60. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The Applicant describes their proposed use as “mixed use” which is …

(Taylor Bowen) AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Kate Clark (512-974-1237, kate.clark@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends amending the Restrictive Covenants to increase the total number of units allowed on site to 520 units and removing the ownership requirements. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 28, 2020 Scheduled for Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: August 27, 2020 Planned to be Scheduled for City Council RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AMENDMENT RECORDING NUMBER: ISSUES None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is approximately 10.48 acres and currently developed with a mixed-use project containing multifamily residential and commercial uses. It was rezoned to ERC with the East Riverside Neighborhood Plan Rezoning Case in 2006 and is surrounded by other properties within the ERC. This rezoning case included a public Restrictive Covenant (RC Recording No. 2007039123) which was later amended in 2011 (RC Recording No. 2011186530), please see Exhibit B: Original Restrictive Covenants. The Applicant’s request is to modify the ownership B-151 of 14 C14-05-0112(RCA2) 2 requirement from the first RC to remove the requirement that a minimum of 45 residential units be for sale and to increase the maximum number of residential units allowed on the property from 450 units to 520 units from the amended RC. No other changes are proposed at this time. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Applicant’s proposed changes to the Restrictive Covenants to allow for increased density and removal of ownership requirements. This is an existing mixed-use development. Currently the Applicant is proposing all new construction in an undeveloped area of the property with no increased entitlements other than the density. The Applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing Lady Bird Boardwalk Trail access. Allowing additional units for this development would increase density in an area that is already developed without replacing any existing units.
