The original zoning request did not require a change in the future land use map. However, when the rezoning request was amended, it triggered a neighborhood plan amendment. Therefore, both cases are being brought before the Planning Commission. On April 4, 2024, City of Austin staff sponsored a virtual community meeting to provide an opportunity for the neighborhood planning contact team, nearby residents, property owners, and any other interested parties to discuss the proposed development and the neighborhood plan amendment request. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is approximately 24.83 acres and is developed with a large specialty retail business and surface parking.

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.

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: Applicant postponement request to April 23, 2024 granted. April 23, 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 1117 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 …

Below are section of the neighborhood plan that supports the applicants request: LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Single family - Single family detached or up to three residential uses at typical urban and/or suburban densities Purpose 1. Preserve the land use pattern and future viability of existing neighborhoods; 2. Encourage new infill development that continues existing neighborhood patterns of development; and 3.

PROPERTY OWNER: Isaacs Yvonne Sandoval Living Trust AGENT: Thrower Design, LLC (Ron Thrower & Victoria Haase) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting general office-mixed use-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (GO-MU-CO-NP) combining district zoning, with a conditional overlay limiting the maximum height to 40 feet. The applicant has signaled agreement with the staff’s recommendation. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 23, 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 property in question is located just east of Springdale Road, just south of Munson Street and north of Alf Avenue. It is currently occupied by a single-family home of approximately 1,100 square feet built in approximately 1961. Single family homes abut the subject tract to the north, east and south. To the west across Springdale Road are five new 3-story townhomes built in 2024. The property owner/applicant seeks this rezoning to allow the in-home business use of a beauty salon which is not allowed under the current zoning category of SF-3-NP. A neighborhood plan amendment change is required with this rezoning. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Public facilities and services should be adequate to serve the set of uses allowed by a rezoning Springdale Road is an ASMP level 2 roadway with sidewalks, bicycle routes and transit service. It is also an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor as is Airport Boulevard approximately 1,200 feet west of the subject tract. The subject tract is just outside, approximately 250 feet north of the Springdale Station Imagine Austin Activity Center. Allowing a beauty salon use in this location would be supported by both the transportation options available but also by Imagine Austin’s goal of, “allow[ing] people to 1 of 719 C14-2023-0156 - 1035 Springdale Beauty Salon; District 3 C14-2023-0156 2 SF-3-NP LAND USES SF-3-NP SF-3-NP SF-3-NP SF-6-NP reside, work, shop, access services, people watch, recreate, and hang out without traveling far distances.” Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. It is prudent to allow this use but also to limit the maximum height of the structure given the proximity of single-family structures closely abutting the subject tract. The applicant has signaled they are not opposed to a …

PLANNING COMMISISON SITE PLAN – COMPATIBILITY WAIVER ONLY CASE NUMBER: SP-2023-0113C PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING DATE: April 23, 2024 PROJECT NAME: DC-2422 ADDRESS: 2422 E. 7th Street COUNCIL DISTRICT: 3 OWNER: ENGINEER: DC-2422, LLC 2120 E. 7th St. #200 Austin, TX 78702 Milian Consulting LLC (Maximiliano Martinez) 1006 Vargas Rd. Austin, TX 78741 (956) 251-5146 (512) 978-4555 CASE MANAGER: Kate Castles Kate.Castles@austintexas.gov NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN: Govalle Neighborhood Plan Area PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is proposing to develop vacant land on five lots zoned CS-CO-NP into a commercial mixed-use development. The applicant is proposing to build 3,870 square feet of Restaurant (General), 1,374 square feet of General Retail, 39,988 square feet of Professional Office, and 1 efficiency accessory dwelling unit (498 square feet). The site will have a single driveway accessing E. 7th Street and will provide landscaping, on-site bicycle parking, and public sidewalk improvements on 0.53 acres. The applicant has already received a compatibility variance from the Board of Adjustment to increase the height limits of the proposed building. One waiver from compatibility setback requirements is being requested from the Planning Commission. DESCRIPTION OF WAIVER: The applicant is requesting a waiver from § 25-2-1063(B)(1), which requires a structure setback of 25 feet from property zoned as SF-5 or more restrictive. The proposed building is located within the 25-foot compatibility setback from the property line of the SF-3-NP zoning district located to the north across an alley. The proposed building is currently located approximately 17 feet from the adjacent property line of the SF-3-NP zoning district and is also separated by right-of-way. SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The proximity of the SF-3-NP district triggers the 25-foot compatibility setback regulation. However, the proposed development and the triggering SF-3-NP properties are currently separated by an alley. Additionally, the SF-3-NP district is immediately adjacent to a GR-MU-CO-NP district to the east. The SF-3-NP properties located to the north are developed as single-family use. The adjacent property to the north is zoned GR-MU-CO-NP and developed as mixed-use residential, retail, and automotive repair services uses. 1 of 926 P-2023-0113C - DC-2422; District 3 Ordinance No. 030327-11a rezoned the property from LI to CS-CO-NP in 2003.

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET C20-2024-007 Amendment: C20-2024-007 Amendments to the Regulating Plan for the North Burnet/Gateway Zoning District to change the expiration date for approved preliminary plans for property subject to the North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan. Background and summary of proposed code amendment: Initiated by the City Council under Resolution No. 20240321-037. Council Sponsors: Mayor Pro Tem Leslie Pool, Council Member José ''Chito'' Vela, Council Member Zohaib ''Zo'' Qadri, Council Member Mackenzie Kelly. Conduct a public hearing and consider a recommendation for an ordinance amending City Code Title 25 to modify Regulating Plan for the North Burnet/Gateway Zoning District to change the expiration date for approved preliminary plans for property subject to the North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan. The amendment will create a new section under 1.3.4. Exemption from Certain Preliminary Plan Requirements as described in Exhibit “A” and achieve the following: 1. Extend the expiration date of approved Preliminary Plans in the North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan from five years to ten years with one five-year extension at the discretion of the Director of Development Services Department (Director), for a maximum period of 15 years from the original Preliminary Plan expiration date. 2. Apply this amendment to projects of 50 acres or more located within the boundaries of the North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan area. 3. Existing projects in the North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan with approved Preliminary Plans that meet the 50 acres or more criteria are extended to the full ten-year period, with one five-year extension at the discretion of the Director. The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan identified the North Burnet/Gateway and Domain areas as a Regional Center and Austin's "second downtown." The North Burnet/Gateway Vision Plan was adopted in 2006, followed with adoption of the North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan (the Plan) in 2009 that set development and design standards for the area. Multiple amendments to the Plan since 2013 have facilitated the redevelopment of the area's older industrial, office, and warehouse sites in favor of mixed-use development with increased housing density, variety of office spaces, and vibrant store fronts for small retail business. The recent construction of two new Red Line commuter rail stations, one at the Uptown ATX campus and the other at McKalla to serve the Q2 Stadium have generated significant development interest in the area. The Plan has been updated on several occasions per City Council and Planning Commission initiation of amendments to City Code Title 25 …
