10 Watershed Technical Memo.pdf — original pdf
TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Mr. Bradford Massingill III Resident at 110 Red Bird Lane Williamson Creek Watershed J. Eduardo Perez, E.I.T., C.F.M. Watershed Protection Department September 25, 2023 DATE: SUBJECT: Drainage Pattern and Public Infrastructure around Your Property The purpose of this memorandum is to document the drainage pattern and the public infrastructure affecting the drainage pattern near your property. Your address 110 RED BIRD LN is near S Congress Ave and E Stassney Ln, and in the Williamson Creek watershed. The drainage pattern of any creek ecology is affected by qualities in the landscape such as ground surface slope and type of ground cover. When rain falls water collects in territorial low spots and eventually, once enough water has ponded in these spots, water pours ‘downstream,’ in strict accordance to laws of physics. Streams wash over natural terrain via creeks, channels, and streambeds eroding landscapes into gravel and clay. The earthen material, once eaten away by washing water, is deposited elsewhere as silt and mud, molding landscapes and natural terrains. The size of this effect can be witnessed in person or can be captured via satellite imagery. The drainage assets that affect the drainage pattern near your home are summarized in the The awesome behavior of running water is consistent, dynamic, ecological, and economic. For these reasons, the City of Austin Watershed Protection Department keeps track of drainage assets that allow for these phenomena to occur in a harmonious and comprehensible manner for the residents of Austin. Map titled: WPD Map of Drainage Assets near 110 Red Bird Lane. 110 Red Bird Ln. Three Types of Infrastructure to Convey Rainfall Runoff BACKGROUND Drainage data and other calculations are provided in the Table: Drainage Summary for Concept Designs for engineered drainage infrastructure are provided in Appendix A: J. Eduardo Perez EIT, CFM and Kathy Rock visited the address 110 RED BIRD LN as a continuation of a flood investigation in this block of Red Bird Lane. The group witnessed what Mr. Massingill had experienced with the lack of storm-drain infrastructure between the north and south lots of Red Bird Lane. Preliminary drainage calculations showed a large drainage area, and a quick inventory of WPD drainage assets yielded no results. E. Perez called Mr. Massingill after visiting the site address to confirm field investigation discoveries. After speaking with Mr. Massingill, I (J. E. Perez) took to initiative to author this technical …

18 Density Bonus Assessment.pdf — original pdf
City Of Austin Planning Dept South Central Waterfront Density Bonus Assessment January 2024 Contents Background Scope of Work I. II. III. Development Scenario Analysis 1 Background The City of Austin Planning Department is working to craft a density bonus program to encourage developers to provide community benefits in exchange for entitlement incentives within the South-Central Waterfront (“SCW”) planning area. The City sought third party review of the current Excel-based tool and underlying assumptions. Specifically, the City sought to understand: ▪ Are the methodology and mechanics of the SCW density bonus scenario tool functional and easy to use? ▪ Is this density bonus program sufficiently calibrated to motivate a developer to choose this program over a PUD process? 2 Stress Test Methodology ▪ Determine the value of incentive density granted through the density bonus program by netting the incremental project value for a participating project from one that completes a project under by-right zoning. ▪ Test two development options for the SCW District – small-scale and large- scale ▪ Compare project performance metrics between by-right and density bonus projects to test feasibility and relative value: ▪ Return on Cost ▪ Levered Internal Rate of Return ▪ Equity Multiple ▪ Capitalized Project Value 2.

20 Citywide Compatibility.pdf — original pdf
ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2023-019 Citywide Compatibility Description: Amend City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to revise height, building placement, and other related regulations that apply to property and are in addition to the base zoning regulations (also known as Compatibility Standards). Background: Initiated by Resolution No. 20230608-045. Compatibility is a regulation that restricts building height and regulates screening, building design, and noise levels based on a site’s proximity to a property with single-family zoning or a single-family use. Currently, compatibility generally applies to sites within 540 feet of a property zoned Urban Family Residence (SF-5) or more restrictive. Compatibility does not apply uniformly citywide. Different compatibility standards apply depending on a site’s location and use. Listed below are examples of where compatibility is treated differently throughout the city: • Citywide Compatibility Standards have two separate regulations for large and small sites. • The East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan compatibility standards are less restrictive than the current citywide standards and are only triggered by single-family use. • The Lamar/Justin, MLK, and Plaza Saltillo Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Regulating Plans only apply compatibility to sites within 100 feet of the TOD boundary and within 25 feet of a triggering property. • Within the University Neighborhood Overlay (UNO), compatibility only applies within 75 feet of the UNO boundary. • Within the Educational Facility Development Standards, there are two separate compatibility height restrictions for AISD and non-AISD schools. • Neighborhood Conservation Combining Districts (NCCDs): o The E. 11th St. NCCD waives compatibility standards in lieu of its own specific compatibility standards. o The E. 12th St. NCCD waives compatibility standards within the district. o The Hyde Park NCCD deviates from the current compatibility standards by allowing parking in the rear yard. • Additional areas are exempt from compatibility, including properties zoned Central Business District (CBD), Downtown Mixed-Use (DMU), properties in the North Burnet Gateway (NBG) Regulating Plan, and developments utilizing the Affordability Unlocked density bonus program. 03/28/2024C20-2023-019 For more information about the various compatibility standards in the code, see Exhibit A, Current vs Proposed Compatibility. Compatibility Standards were codified with the adoption of the current Land Development Code in 1984. Their purpose, as stated in the 1984 code, is to “preserve and protect single-family residential neighborhoods” and “to maintain the privacy and to allow the outdoor enjoyment typically provided in single family districts and neighborhoods.” Before compatibility was created, there was an …

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT & REZONING REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2023-004 ETOD Overlay (Phase 1 Austin Light Rail alignment and Priority Extensions) Description: Amend City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to create an Equitable Transit- Oriented Development (ETOD) Overlay combining district and an ETOD Density Bonus combining district (DBETOD), and to apply these combining districts to certain lots within a half-mile of the Phase 1 Austin Light Rail alignment and Priority Extensions. The ETOD Overlay combining district is proposed to prohibit or make conditional certain non-transit supportive uses. The ETOD Density Bonus combining district is proposed to create a density bonus program that allows residential uses, modifies development regulations to increase maximum height (up to 120 feet total), and modifies various site development standards including compatibility. DBETOD allows developments to participate in a density bonus program if they provide affordable rental or ownership housing or fees-in-lieu that meet certain requirements. Background: Initiated by Resolution No. 20230309-016 and Resolution No. 20240201-054 On March 9, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 20230309-016 accepting the Equitable Transit-Oriented Development Policy Plan and directing the City Manager regarding next steps for implementation. To provide further direction on one of those next steps, the creation and application of an ETOD Overlay, Council approved Resolution No. 20240201-054. The ETOD Overlay is one of the transit-supportive code amendments staff is prioritizing in Spring 2024 to help ensure adopted regulations intended to benefit the Project Connect Phase 1 Austin Light Rail project can be considered as part of the preliminary ratings package for federal funding that will be submitted in Summer 2024. Summary of Proposed Code Amendment: The proposed code amendment will create two new combining districts: 1. ETOD Overlay combining district (ETOD) will prohibit or make conditional those land uses that are not transit-supportive, and 2. ETOD Density Bonus combining district (DBETOD) will create a density bonus program that: • Allows residential uses, • Modifies development regulations to increase maximum height (up to 120 feet total), and • Modifies various site development standards. The two new combining districts will be applied to certain lots through a rezoning within a half-mile of the Phase 1 Austin Light Rail alignment and Priority Extensions as shown on Figure 1. 03/28/2024C20-2023-004 Figure 1: Parcels Proposed for Rezoning into the ETOD and DBETOD Combining Districts 03/28/2024C20-2023-004 ETOD Overlay Combining District (ETOD) – Proposed Uses to Prohibit or Make Conditional The following lists delineate land uses that …

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2023-024 HOME Phase 2 Description: Amend City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to revise regulations that apply to lots with one housing unit, including reducing the minimum lot size and regulations that apply to flag lots. Background: Initiated by Resolution No. 20230720-126. On July 20, 2023, City Council adopted Resolution No. 20230720-126, tasking staff with the development of amendments to the Land Development Code (LDC) with specific housing related objectives in mind. These objectives included reducing the minimum lot size for properties zoned single-family, permitting up to three housing units on such properties, and establishing a new Three-Unit Residential Land Use designation. Additionally, the changes aimed to introduce flexibility in housing configurations for properties zoned SF-1, SF-2, SF- 3, and SF-4A/B. This flexibility would encompass various housing types such as rowhouses, townhomes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, garden homes, and cottage courts. On December 7, 2023, City Council approved Ordinance No. 20231207-001 adopting code amendments that allow up to three housing units, including tiny homes, on a Single-Family (SF) zoned property, revising the regulations that apply to a property with two housing units, and removing restrictions on the number of unrelated adults living in a housing unit. Summary of Proposed Code Amendment: The proposed code amendments will reduce the minimum lot size and revise site development regulations for small lots to facilitate the development of one-unit homes with unit sizes and densities similar to those allowed under HOME Phase 1. The proposed changes: • Lower the minimum lot size for one unit from 5,750 sq ft to 2,000 sq ft • Adjust development standards for lots under 5,750 sq ft (i.e., small lots) • Reduce the minimum lot width • • Allow for a variety of detached and attached housing types • Remove Residential Design and Compatibility (i.e., McMansion or Subchapter F) Include design standards for driveways, front yards, and garage placement standards for small lots Increase impervious cover from 40% to 45% in SF-1 for small lots • • Adjust flag lot regulations to facilitate easier subdivision and to ensure sites do not exceed 45% impervious cover The following is not changed under this proposal: 03/28/2024C20-2023-024 • Minimum lot size of 5,750 sq ft for two-unit and three-unit uses • Regulations for one unit on lots that are 5,750 sq ft or greater in lot size • 45% impervious cover maximum for SF-2 and SF-3 • …

From: John Estrada Sent: Tuesday, April 9, 2024 1:31 PM To: Meredith, Maureen <Maureen.Meredith@austintexas.gov> Subject: Re: April 9 PC - SCC NPCT Rec?: NPA-2023-0020.02_106 Red Bird Ln External Email - Exercise Caution Hi Maureen! I'd like to add this to the late material for the Planning Commission. Thank you! John Estrada 4/9/24 Greetings everyone! I am writing today in regards to items 9 & 10 on the agenda for Tuesday, April 9th. I am neither for nor against this project. Again, my main concern is what is already happening to Blue Bird Lane and the 300 block of Red Bird Lane, and how the current situation could be exacerbated by this project. The concern? The explosion in street parking and through traffic on Blue Bird and Red Bird. When this new project is completed, it will surely bring more of both to the area. All I am asking for is Transportation staff to take a look at what is going on and make the clear and easy decision. Install “No Parking” signs on Blue Bird and the 300 block of Red Bird. The 200 block of Red Bird already has “No Parking” signs! And it’s clear by the footage below why… https://youtu.be/1yi4u50srNc Thumbnail below Imagine a hip restaurant or space in the new development (it is mixed use after all). What if there’s an event there AS WELL as an event at Sagebrush. You’ll get more of this. Why is it so bad here already? In my previous time in front of you all, I mentioned that this stretch of South Congress (seen highlighted in red) added a sidewalk and bike lanes, and that all the parking there was removed. In addition, overflow parking from Sagebrush was using the area that will become this new proposed project (seen highlighted in yellow). Now that all of that area is gone, parking is overflowing heavily into the neighborhood. It doesn’t help that the area highlighted in orange, Sagebrush, used to have a lot more parking when other businesses occupied the space. It was even mentioned in a list of code violations CV-2021-158306. The issue was never remedied in regards to that. There are times when public safety and well being are so clear and paramount that a government acts. This is one of those cases. Thank you!

My recommendation is based on my review of these documents: 2023; • Civil Site Development Plans for 5412 S Congress Mixed-Use dated December • City of Austin Master Comment Report for Case Number SP-2023-0495C, Revision # 00 dated February 26, 2024; • City of Austin Technical Memorandum regarding Drainage Pattern and Public Infrastructure around Your Property to Mr. Bradford Massingill III, dated September 25, 2023; • An Environmental Resource Inventory Waiver Request Form filed for the project and approved by Watershed Protection Department; Glenrose Engineering, Inc. Texas Board of Professional Engineers Number F4092 glenrose.com City of Austin Planning Commission April 3, 2024 Page 2 of 3 • Relevant maps and Geographical Information System (GIS) data regarding topography, soils, and drainage associated with the proposed zoning changes. Based on my review of these documents, the proposed project will contribute additional storm flows to local flooding. It will inadequately protect sensitive environmental features associated with the proposed development location. Contribution to Local Flooding The proposed project would be located within the Williamson Creek watershed, upstream and less than a mile west of Interstate Highway 35. Based on information submitted by the applicant, existing pervious area on the site is 1.94 acres, which constitutes nearly 72 percent of the site area. Under the proposed development plan, the pervious area would be reduced to 0.87 acres, which is only 36 percent of the site. Pervious areas allow storm runoff to infiltrate into soil. This infiltration reduces flooding and erosion. It sustains the natural flow of water into seeps, springs, and creeks between storm events. Rainfall infiltration into soil also sustains trees during drought and reduces peak urban temperatures. …

I would like to sign up to speak against this project. Honestly, between my kids, and the eclipse, I have dropped the ball... I spoke to several of my neighbors on the 2700 block of willow and 2700 block of canterbury, and they agree that they would rather this project be located elsewhere.

I apologize for the issues with my phone, as I recently transferred departments and am working through several technical challenges. I will allow Heather to respond to the questions related to the conditional use permits that are currently going through the review/permitting process (or forward to the correct staff member). During the development of the Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging land use code amendment, Planning Department staff coordinated with applicable departments to ensure that the proposal balances environmental benefits with land use considerations/planning principals, while also meeting all safety requirements. Among other departments, we met with Austin Energy, DSD, Transportation and Public Works, and Austin Fire Department throughout the process to receive acceptance/approval of the ordinance. One concrete example of interdepartmental collaboration is the prohibition of the use underground, which was recommended as a safety precaution by the fire department. Please note that each EV Charging use will require a site plan, at which point all applicable city code requirements will …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Multifamily Residential land use because there is Mixed Use land use directly to the north. Multifamily residential land use will serve as a buffer between the mixed-use land use to the north and the single family land use to the south. The property is also located less than 600 feet south of East MLK Junior Blvd, which is an activity corridor as identified on the imagined Austin Comprehensive Plan where additional density can be accommodated. The property owner is proposing approximately 45 mixed residential dwelling units, which will provide additional housing choices for the city and the planning area. Below are sections of the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan that supports the applicant’s request: 2 2 of 2705 NPA-2023-0015.05.SH - 1702 Deloney Street; District 12 of 27 Planning Commission: March 26, 2024 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Single family - Single family detached or up to three residential uses at typical urban and/or suburban densities.

Protect residential neighborhoods from incompatible business or industry and the loss of existing housing. Application 1. Existing single‐family areas should generally be designated as single family to preserve established neighborhoods; and 2. May include small lot options (Cottage, Urban Home, Small Lot Single Family) and two‐family residential options (Duplex, Secondary Apartment, Single Family Attached, Two‐Family Residential) in areas considered appropriate for this type of infill development. …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2023-0141.SH DISTRICT: 1 ADDRESS: 1702 Deloney Street ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP TO: MF-2-NP SITE AREA: approximately 2.027 acres (approximately 88,296 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: 1702 Deloney, LLC AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Leah M. Bojo) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting multifamily residence-low density-neighborhood plan (MF- 2-NP) combining district zoning. See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 26, 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract currently has one vacant single-family home built in approximately 1952, of approximately 1,300 square feet. This represents a density of approximately 0.5 units per acre. To the north is undeveloped land, a church built in approximately 1970 of approximately 7,000 square feet, and a single-family home built in approximately 1953, of approximately 1,200 square feet. To the west is undeveloped land, and a triplex built in approximately 1977, of approximately 4,000 square feet. To the south is undeveloped land, one single-family home built in approximately 1952, of approximately 1,200 square feet. To the east are two single-family homes (under construction) and a duplex built in approximately 2004. While there is floodplain and a creek buffer within the subject tract it does not encumber enough of the tract that it is unable to be developed as requested by this rezoning. Further analysis will be conducted during the subsequent site plan review process. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should promote clearly-identified community goals, such as creating employment opportunities or providing for affordable housing. 1 of 1106 C14-2023-0141.SH - 1702 Deloney Street; District 1 C14-2023-0141.SH 2 This rezoning would allow for the development of more diverse housing options and promote a range of price points based on diverse household needs. Neighborhood scale multifamily residential zoning is a critical part of reaching the community goal to create more “missing middle” housing. Granting multifamily residence-low density-neighborhood plan (MF-2-NP) combining district zoning here can provide lower density multifamily in a way that is consistent with the surrounding land uses. The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City Council or Planning Commission. Both Council and Planning Commission have adopted policies and principles to increase new residential development, specifically along Imagine Austin Corridors, where major public transportation assets exist and/or will be …

Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial View). Currently the property is developed with the readapted Saint Elmo Public Market which includes existing multifamily buildings, an office building, associated parking garage, and a warehouse building for a public market.

AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Richard T. Suttle, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recom mends amending the Restrictive Covenant as outlined in Exhibit D: Restrictive Covenant Amendment Redlines. Please see the basis of recommendation section for more details. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION/RECOMMENDATION: February 27, 2024: Neighborhood Postponement granted to March 26, 2024, applicant is in agreement. March 26, 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: April 4, 2024: Case is tentatively scheduled to be heard by City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract of approximately 9.606 acres of undeveloped land. To the north is additional undeveloped land (across Southwest Parkway). To the south, east and west are single- family residences. This case seeks to add multifamily residential use as a permitted use of the property and establish a maximum impervious cover of 55% and 1:1 floor to area ratio for multifamily residential use. In exchange for the proposed modifications the project will: 1. Provide water quality controls in accordance with the Save Our Springs Initiative 1 of 669 C14-85-288.166(RCA2) 2 2. Achieve a minimum one-star rating under the Austin Energy Green Building Program 3. Restrict access to Sunset Ridge 4. Provide a minimum of four EV charging stations 5. Remove invasive species in accordance with the City of Austin Invasive Species Management Plan BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. Austin currently has a housing shortage and an affordable housing shortage. Restricting the use of this property to prohibit multifamily residential use is unreasonable in light of this situation. The applicant has proposed modifications that address environmental quality, sustainability, transportation access, and removal of invasive species. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. Austin City Council adopted the Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint in 2017. In the last annual report (2022) HousingWorks Austin identified that Council District 8 had only attained 2% of the district’s 10-year goal for new affordable housing units. Approving this restrictive covenant agreement would help add additional income restricted affordable housing units to Council District 8, …

PLANNING COMMISSION SITE PLAN COMPATIBILITY WAIVER REQUEST REVIEW SHEET 1010 W 26th LLC (Sudhakar Allada) Rivera Engineering (Michael Rivera, PE) PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: March 26, 2024 CASE: SP-2022-0591C COUNCIL DISTRICT: 9 PROJECT NAME: Avalon Flats at Sixth ADDRESS OF SITE: 1808 W 6th St APPLICANT: AGENT: AREA: 0.4661 acre WATERSHED: Johnson Creek (Urban) WATERSHED ORDINANCE: Comprehensive Watershed Ordinance C.I.P. STATUS: N/A T.I.A.: N/A CAPITOL VIEW: N/A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is proposing a multifamily development with nine free-standing units, with associated improvements and is requesting a waiver from 25-2-1063 to allow for a reduced setback. EXISTING ZONING: The site is zoned MF-4-CO-NP. The use and site plan generally comply with the zoning ordinance. DESCRIPTION OF WAIVER: Waiver request is as follows: LDC Section 25-2-1063(B): A person may not construct a structure 25 feet or less from property: 1) In an urban family residence (SF-5) or more restrictive zoning district; or 2) On which a use permitted in an SF-5 or more restrictive district is located. The applicant requests a waiver from a 25-foot compatibility setback to varied setbacks from less than one foot to just over 19 feet for residences and related improvements. SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval to allow an encroachment of less than one foot of the two units on the southeast side of the lot into the compatibility setback triggered by the adjacent single-family use, and a smaller unit located almost wholly within the setback, but over six feet from the triggering property. The site’s buildable area is constrained by its shape and being bounded by three rights-of-way, and will be compatible with the scale of residential development in the surrounding area. The site was originally designed under and compliant with the ordinances that allowed for greater height and reduced setbacks. The site design also has height and driveway setback issues that will need to be addressed by the Board of Adjustment at a separate hearing.

15 CPA-2024-0001 ETOD Imagine Austin Amendment Exhibit A.pdf — original pdf
CPA-2024-0001 Exhibit A Background The Equitable Transit Oriented Development (ETOD) Policy Plan, accepted by City Council on March 9, 2023, through Resolution No. 20230309-016, included ETOD Typologies that are based on existing population, displacement risk, and relative change in population and jobs over the last decade. The resolution accepting the ETOD Policy Plan directed staff to initiate “amendments to the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan to reflect the ETOD Typologies included in the ETOD Policy Plan.” The purpose of the ETOD Policy Plan, including the ETOD Typologies, is to provide a policy framework to help Austin ensure that future development around the stations in the Project Connect transit system supports residents of all incomes and backgrounds, especially those who have been disproportionately burdened by past transportation and land use decisions. The ETOD Typologies The ETOD Typologies are intended to provide a snapshot of a station area’s current conditions. A station area is defined as roughly the ½ mile radius surrounding a station, or a 10-minute journey walking, biking, or rolling to or from a station. The eight Typologies were determined using several factors— existing population relative to other station areas, displacement risk of households, and the recent rate of change in jobs and population. More can be read about the methodology in the following pages. Because of their representation of current conditions in the station areas, the ETOD Typologies also speak to types of growth most needed for equitable outcomes in a station area. The ETOD Typology concept map shows the location of the different ETOD Typologies at station areas throughout the Project Connect system. The squares represent MetroRail and future Light Rail (rail) station areas, while the circles represent MetroRapid (bus) station areas. Although it is possible that some station locations may change as Project Connect engineering and design progresses in the future, Typologies based on the characteristics of any new station area locations will still be applied. Using the ETOD Typologies The ETOD Typologies provide additional context about what equitable growth should look like in a station area based on its characteristics and are intended to provide additional guidance to zoning and land use decision-making as city staff and decision makers evaluate recommended changes for consistency with the Imagine Austin Plan. Future Updates to the ETOD Typologies Staff will work to update the data used to inform the Typologies on a regular basis. Because of the small geographic scale …
