Airport and Oak Springs The applicant requests the ability to participate in city-run affordable housing bonus programs. The property is currently zoned for CS-MU-NP and LR-MU-NP, both of which allow multifamily and commercial by right – but do not make it eligible for an affordable housing bonus. The applicant is requesting CS-MU-V-DB90-NP, which would allow a project to proceed under the Vertical Mixed-Use program (which requires 10 percent of units as affordable) or the Density Bonus 90 program (which requires 12 percent of units as affordable). The applicant also requests a waiver of the ground-floor commercial design requirement. The property is surrounded by areas designated for commercial, multifamily, and missing middle – and is buffered from single-family properties by a significant and varied slope. The property is primarily surrounded by parcels with comparable zoning (CS-MU-NP, CS-NP) and missing middle (SF-6-NP), with single-family (SF-3-NP) to the southeast and northeast. The property is buffered to the single-family zoning to the southeast by Oak Springs Drive – and is buffered to the single-family zoning on the northeast by a meaningful slope (Figure 1). This request would make the property eligible for an affordable housing bonus program at a location that is appropriate for growth. While DB90 would allow the option for additional height, it would be meaningfully buffered from properties with nearby single-family zoning. Additionally, the property is located along Airport Boulevard and within a five-minute walk of five bus routes, including a high-frequency route and one of only five ‘night owl’ routes. Figure 1.

Case #: SPC-2025-0091A CIP 3023.046 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: Site-specific amendments and related variances Description: Amends Land Development Code (LDC) Chapter 25-1, 25-5, 25-7, and 25-8 and related variances as minimally required to allow the construction of the Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Enhancement and Expansion Project Proposed Language: Consider an ordinance granting site-specific variances and amendments to the Land Development Code, including amendments to Chapter 25-1, 25-5, 25-7, and 25-8, as minimally required to allow the construction of the Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Enhancement and Expansion Project. Summary of proposed code amendment The amendment under consideration is related to the enhancement and expansion project for the Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, especially the construction of a floodwall to protect the facility from flood damage. 25-1 General Requirements and Procedures Amendments to this section are proposed to allow certain variances/waivers to be approved administratively instead of by board or commission. 25-5 Site Plans The project includes several site plans for different project phases and requires a modification to Section 25-5-44 to allow concurrent site plans on the same site. Additionally, the construction of the project will extend beyond the 3-year expiration requirement for site plans so, a amendment to 25-5-81 is also proposed. 25-7 Drainage The construction of the project may require a floodplain variance for which an administrative approval process is proposed. 25-8 Environment A significant portion of the property is located within the 100-year floodplain and the Critical Water Quality Zone of Walnut Creek. The site also has a topography that may require variances to cut/fill requirements and restrictions on regulations. Additionally, there are two identified heritage trees that conflict with the proposed alignment of the floodwall. The proposed amendments to chapter 25-8 include: • • 25-8-261 (Development in the Critical Water Quality Zone) to allow for the construction of the floodwall within the CWQZ 25-8-301 (Construction on Slopes) to allow for administrative approval of the realignment of a roadway on slopes in excess of 15% 1 21 SPC-2025-0091A - Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Enhancement and Expansion Project; District 11 of 3 • • • Case #: SPC-2025-0091A CIP 3023.046 25-8-341 (Cut Requirements) to allow for administrative approval of cut up to 25 ft 25-8-342 (Fill Requirements) to allow for administrative approval of fill up to 25 ft 25-8-642 & 25-8-643 (Heritage Trees) to allow for administrative approval of removal of two heritage trees Background: …

C20-2024-010 REZONING, NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN, AND ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2024-010 University Neighborhood Overlay (UNO) Update Description: Amend City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to repeal Article 3 Division 9 University Neighborhood Overlay District Requirements and to create Density Bonus University Neighborhood Overlay (-DBUNO) and rezone property generally located west of the University of Texas, east of Lamar Boulevard, south of 29th Street and north of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to apply -DBUNO and amend the Central Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan, an element of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan, to change the future land use map for the same property from multiple land use designations to High Density Mixed Use. Background: Initiated by City Council Resolution No. 20240418-077 and Resolution No. 2025-0130-057. The University Neighborhood Overlay, or UNO, was first adopted by Ordinance No. 040902-58 in 2004 to promote high-density, pedestrian-oriented redevelopment of the West Campus area that maintains the area's existing character and stimulates income- restricted affordable housing development. The overlay supersedes specific site development standards of the base zones and allows land uses to encourage development that serves the primarily student population of the area. This includes reduced required parking spaces, increased maximum allowable building height and bulk, and allowance for a mix of local, pedestrian-serving commercial uses. For a property to develop under UNO, additional requirements must be met, including providing affordable housing and adherence to stricter streetscape and design standards. These regulations were crafted through a robust community process involving residents and stakeholders. Since their original adoption, UNO regulations were amended in 2014 and 2019 through Ordinance No. 20140213-056 and Ordinance No. 20191114-067. The 2014 amendment allowed participating developments to rent by the bedroom and increased the affordability period from 15 to 40 years. Amendments in 2019 changed the second tier of maximum allowed building height available through the dedication of additional affordable housing units or bedrooms. These amendments demonstrate the commitment to updating UNO to address necessary changes that better serve students and the surrounding community. Since its adoption in 2004, the UNO overlay has facilitated the development of over 10,000 housing units or bedrooms and has led to the creation of 972 income-restricted bedrooms and 401 income-restricted units. In April 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 20240418-077, which initiated amendments to the University Neighborhood Overlay (UNO). The Resolution included 29 distinct items for staff consideration, including amendments to the land development code, …
