November 13, 2025 Re: Zoning Request – CASE: C14-2024-0160 (1000 Red River) Dear Chair and Commissioners of the Austin Planning Commission, On behalf of the Red River Cultural District, we are writing to share our formal recommendations on CASE: C14-2024-0160 (1000 Red River). The Red River Cultural District (RRCD) is a vibrant cultural tourism and entertainment area that stretches along Red River Street from 4th Street to 15th Street, bounded by Interstate 35 to the east and extending west to Neches Street and Trinity Street. This cultural corridor—known as Austin’s “Music Mile”—connects a collection of Austin’s independent live music venues, hospitality services, and bars and restaurants, with the Moody Center marking its northern end. The District is home to the German Texan Heritage Society, the Austin Symphony and the First Baptist Church and the expanding Waterloo Park and Greenway. The Austin City Council formally established the Cultural District in 2013, and in 2020, the Texas Commission on the Arts (TCA) designated it as an official State Cultural District. As a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the RRCD is managed by the Red River Merchants’ Association, which seeks to celebrate, preserve and evolve Red River’s creative, business and music ecosystem sustainably. The site at 1000 Red River represents a unique opportunity to serve as a catalyst along the Red River Cultural District corridor, particularly as the Innovation District, Medical District Campus, and Waterloo Greenway continue to evolve. Located within Austin’s rapidly developing eastern downtown, this area is at the heart of several transformative initiatives that are reshaping the city’s cultural and economic landscape. The Palm District Plan provides significant guidance on a vision and priorities for this area but realizing its full potential will require collaboration among city leaders, developers, cultural partners, and community stakeholders. 08 C14-2024-0160 - 1000 Red River Street; District 91 of 3 RRCD understands today’s action is a zoning request, and while we support the general request of the applicant, we want to emphasize the importance of a broader vision—one that celebrates culture, innovation, and evolution, while remaining grounded in the authentic cultural roots that define Austin. Our priorities include encouraging mixed-use development that enhances pedestrian-scale activation with the future connection to Waterloo Greenway trail system and fosters a vibrant and diverse walkable environment. With the site spanning a full City block and 3 acres, the site serves as a main connector from Austin’s Convention Center, along the Cultural …

AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Richard T. Suttle, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov REQUEST: The applicant is requesting a termination of the restrictive covenant conditions for this property. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed termination of the public restrictive covenant. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 13, 2025: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The applicant is requesting to terminate/delete a public restrictive covenant that was recorded in 1984 on Lots and 3 of the Taylor-Smith subdivision (Please see Applicant’s Summary Letter – Exhibit C). This covenant added building restrictions to Lot 3. Building restrictions included a 6 foot setback from the common boundary line. However, in 2018 Lots 3 and 4 were re-subdivided into one lot which removed the common boundary line. (Please see Public Restrictive Covenant - Exhibit D). 10 C14-2025-0098(RCT) - 600 Harthan RCT; District 9 1 of 12 C14-2025-0098(RCT) 2 The staff recommends the applicant’s request to delete the conditions of this public restrictive covenant. Since this restrictive covenant was executed and recorded, the property in question has been re-subdivided. The area under consideration is now known as Lot A of the Amended Plat of Lots 3 and 4 Taylor-Smith subdivision. The staff supports the deletion of this public restrictive covenant because items listed in this public restrictive covenant will now be regulated under the zoning district site development standards and other requirements stipulated by the Land Development Code. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation.

See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 23, 2025: Applicant Postponement Request to October 28, 2025. October 28, 2025: Applicant Postponement Request to November 13, 2025. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently one single family home constructed in approximately 1946. To the east of the site is undeveloped land. To the south of the site are three single family homes constructed between approximately 1928 and 1946, and three duplexes constructed between approximately 1945 and 1958. To the west of the site (across Shady Lane) is an approximately 135,000 square foot two-story school constructed in approximately 1957, the Anita Ferrales Coy Facility, formerly known as the John T. Allan Facility. This property was rezoned through C14-2024-0019.SH, see area case histories below. To the north of the site is one two-story industrial building of approximately 22,000 square feet and one warehouse of approximately 8,000 square feet, both constructed in approximately 2015. The subject tract is approximately 1,200 feet southeast of the Springdale Station Imagine Austin Activity Center. The tract is also approximately 300 feet west of Airport Boulevard an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor. 05 C14-2025-0073 - P & P .72; District 31 of 11 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. The request would allow for reasonable use of the subject tract. There is parking for the United Association Plumbers & Pipefitters Local #286 immediately to the north of the subject tract. While the area has been traditionally single family in nature there are more intense uses along Airport Boulevard and there is a substantial redevelopment planned across Shady Lane. Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. In 2001 the property adjoining the subject tract to the east sought a rezoning from SF-3 to GR and was granted LO (see area case histories section below). Granting this request would result in an equal treatment …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The property is located approximately 300 feet from the west side IH-35 and is on the north side of E. 38th Street. The surrounding land uses are Mixed Use/Office land use to the north, Mixed Use to the east, and Single Family land use to the west. With the expansion of the IH-35, a section of the block to east of the property has been condemned for the highway expansion. Transitioning properties that are near the expansion of IH-35 to Mixed Use/Office could serve as a buffer between the Mixed Use land use and development to the east and the Single Family land use to the west of properties along Harmon Avenue. Staff believes the Applicant’s request for Mixed Use/Office land use is appropriate for this location. The Central Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan states the desire to preserve the single family land uses in the Hancock area. Staff believes because of the changing nature of the area transitioning this tract to Mixed Use/Office is appropriate. 06 NPA-2025-0019.03 - 1012 E 38th; District 92 of 30 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Single family - Detached or two family residential uses at typical urban and/or suburban densities Purpose 1.

This included development of code amendments to support transit in May of 2024 (Ordinance No. 20240516-005), including creation of the ETOD combining district (restrictions on non-transit supportive uses) and the DBETOD combining district (allowing residential use, and relaxing some development standards including increased height in exchange for income-restricted housing). Properties within one half-mile of the Phase 1 Austin Light Rail alignment and Priority Extensions were included within this overlay, and certain properties were rezoned through a City-initiated process to include the ETOD and DBETOD combining districts. Further, properties rezoned with DBETOD combining district were categorized into Subdistrict 1 (maximum allowable height of 120 feet) or Subdistrict 2 (maximum allowable height of 90 feet), generally based on property distance of ¼-mile or ½-mile from the Phase 1 alignment, respectively. However, that rezoning process did not modify any base district zoning or any combining district zoning, which is the subject of this request.

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for High Density Mixed Use because it will provide more housing in the planning area and the city. The area has been growing over the years with the Q2 Stadium and the McKalla Rail Station. Council signed resolution 20230504-020 which directed staff to initiate amendments to the North Burnet/Gateway Vision Plan recognizing the area’s growth. Transitioning the property to High Density Mixed Use is consistent with the development of the area. Below are some of the North Burnet/Gateway Plan Goals that staff believes supports the applicant’s request: ONE: Transform the aging, auto-oriented commercial and industrial uses into a livelier mixed-use neighborhod that is more pedestrian- and transit-friendly and can accommodate a significant number of new residents. a. Create a dense and vibrant “town center” with an urban form and uses less reliant on the automobile. This means creating a concentration of interrelated uses that provide for a range of activities to occur in close proximity to transit. b. b. Achieve a balance of jobs, houses, retail, open space and community facilities. The essence of a mixed-use area is that it allows for opportunities to live, work, and play within the same area. c. Enable opportunities for transit- oriented development based on the presence of both the Capital Metro and the potential Austin-San Antonio Inter-municipal Rail District (currently Union Pacific) commuter rail line. d. Enable redevelopment and adaptive reuse while accommodating existing uses. Recognize that the auto-oriented uses will be less appropriate and could be reformatted to …
