PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 27, 2020: October 13, 2020: APPROVED A POSTPONEMENT REQUEST BY THE APPLICANT AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO OCTOBER 27, 2020 [J. THOMPSON; A. AZHAR – 2ND] (12-0) ONE VACANCY ON THE COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL ACTION: November 12, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Applicant is in discussions with the South Congress Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract is located on South Congress Avenue, is developed with a mobile food vending court and a self storage facility, and has had general commercial services – mixed use – neighborhood plan (CS-MU-NP) zoning since Council approved the East Congress Neighborhood Plan rezonings in August 2005. There are retail and various commercial services, auto-related uses and apartments along both sides of Congress Avenue in the vicinity (CS-MU-NP; CS-MU-V-NP; CS-MU-CO-NP/MF-6-CO-NP). Please see Exhibits A and A-1 – Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. 1 of 19B-11 C14-2020-0093 Page 2 The Applicant proposes to rezone the property and add a vertical mixed use building (–V) combining district to the existing zoning and develop it with up to 280 apartment units and 5,500 square feet of ground floor retail and restaurant uses. The property is designated as Mixed Use on the adopted Future Land Use Map (as is most of South Congress Avenue in the neighborhood planning area), and the Mixed Use designation is defined as “An area that is appropriate for a mix of residential and non-residential uses.” South Congress Avenue is also designated as a Core Transit Corridor. During the Vertical Mixed Use Overlay (VMU) Opt-in/Opt-out process conducted by the Neighborhood Planning and Zoning Department in 2007-09, an application to designate certain properties as appropriate to add the –V combining district or exclude other properties from the VMU overlay was not filed by the South Congress Combined Planning Contact Team. The addition of –V provides an additional development option to a property and allows it to retain the ability to redevelop under the existing …

Zoning should promote a transition between adjacent and nearby zoning districts, land uses, This property is in between the commercial and office zoning districts on South 1st Street and Ben White Boulevard, and the residential zoning districts and uses internal to the neighborhood.

The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Staff does not recommend adding the “V” component …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET 10/26/2020 10/27/2020 HLC DATE: PC DATE: CASE NUMBER: C14H-2020-0087 APPLICANT: Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas Baker LLC HISTORIC NAME: Baker School WATERSHED: Waller Creek Council District: 9 ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 3908 Avenue B ZONING FROM: GR-HD-NCCP-NP to GR-HD-H-NCCD-NP SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change to designate the former Baker School as a historic landmark. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Historical significance and community value. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The former Baker School is contributing to the Hyde Park Local Historic District. ACTION: PHONE: 974-6454 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Hyde Park Neighborhood Association BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: While City Code does not allow a contributing building within a local historic district to be designated as a historic landmark for its architectural significance, the former Baker School is worthy of an architectural description as it reflects the work of three of the most prominent architects in Austin in the early- to mid-20th century. Built in 1911, the building is a raised two-story institutional building with a raised full basement. The building is constructed of Austin Common buff brick with poured concrete accents. The building has bands of five 2:2 windows with transoms in the principal block (these, while believed to be of historic age, are not original); the raised basement level also features bands of five 2:2 windows, but without transoms. The principal entry faces Avenue B, and has a brick portico that once had Doric columns and arched sides; the portico frames the raised and recessed entry, which features a double set of glazed wood doors. The portico has a small gablet at its center, echoing the gablet on the top of the building which has the inscription “Baker School.” Additional 1 of 9B-15 decorative aspects of the building include concrete bracket-like moldings in the at the top of the pilasters defining the bays, and a prominent cornice. At the north and south ends of the original 1911 building are rectangular-shaped additions matching the height and configuration of the original block. These additions project proud of the main block of the building, and have a pair of 2:2 windows on each floor, all without transoms. The solid appearance of the building hearkens to the Neo-Classical architecture popular for commercial and institutional buildings in the early 20th century. The …

December 6, 2000 Planning Commission: October 27, 2020 BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Office land use because we recognize the need for adaptive reuse of church buildings that are located within residential areas. The property is approximately 260 feet south of E. MLK Jr. Blvd and on the edge of the MLK Station Area TOD. A low-intensity office use in this location in a building that was once a church is an appropriate use. The Chestnut Neighborhood Plan supports compatible infill development and the revitalization of the historic character of the neighborhood. 2 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS EXISTING LAND USE ON THE PROPERTY Civic - Any site for public or semi fire facilities, hospitals, and public and private schools.

South Central Coalition ( ANC sector 7) Resolution Concerning: Proposed Planned Unit development (PUD) amendment for 305 South Congress (Austin American Statesman site) by the Endeavor Real Estate Group and the Atlanta based Cox family. Whereas: The construction of the Austin Hyatt Hotel in the early 1980’s on the south shore of then Town Lake resulted in city wide concerns about the scale and location of new buildings that could negatively encroach on the scenic vistas and open space along the Colorado River corridor, and Whereas: The Austin City Council established The Town Lake Task Force that recommended the 1985 Town Lake Corridor Study adopted by the City Council on October 24, 1985, calling for zoning changes that “ Improved zoning in the Town Lake Corrridor …” and Whereas: This recommendation adopted by the City Council on July 17, 1986, resulted in the City of Austin's “Waterfront Overlay Combining District” ( WO) that clearly defined the site development standards for all properties along the river corridor and Whereas: The purpose of the WO zoning change was to “provide a more harmonious interaction and transition between urban development and the parkland and shoreline of Town Lake and the Colorado River.” The site development standards for new construction called for stepping back from the water’s edge and for building to step down so as to respect the scenic vistas around the lake front. Whereas: The WO called out the base zoning (maximum heights and primary and secondary setbacks) to achieve the protection of the scenic vistas and open space that was recognized as the most important community asset. However the WO also included the recognition of other community goals that could possibly be achieved with density bonus provisions to allow for more development if these additional community benefits ( more open space, affordable housing, community access to parkland, etc) are provided but also included absolute maximum heights and minimum allowable setbacks for the shore line, and Whereas: The City Council authorized the creation of the ‘Town Lake Park” Comprehensive plan in 1987 that stated that “ Building massing should demur to open spaces, avoiding clashes of scale.” Whereas: The 1999 “plain English and non-substantive” rewrite of Austin Land Development Code resulted in the removal of the density bonus provisions and the absolute height limits. Due to this error the City Council subsequently appointed the “Waterfront Overlay Task Force” which recommended that the …

From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Cooper, Tammy Tom Wald; Eric Goff Wettick, Katie; Spence, Janae; Brianna Frey; Vice, Jeffrey (Jeff); Groce, Susan; England, Pamela RE: Thank you for discussing the AE Site and Red Line Parkway Friday, October 23, 2020 8:49:28 AM Tom and Eric, We also very much appreciate you meeting with PW Urban Trails and Austin Energy to discuss the City’s Kramer Lane property and to share your perspective and priorities regarding the Red Line Parkway. As the Planning Commission encouraged, we have each shared our concerns (e.g., safety, costs, varied stakeholder interests) and desires regarding the future use of the Kramer Lane site. That included Austin Energy laying out its desire to have a successful amendment to the North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan to allow for certain civic uses at the Kramer Lane Service Center. Those civic uses include allowing the City departments currently using the property (Austin Energy, Fleet, and Public Works) to continue the existing uses of the site as well as the construction of a new substation. As I discussed with Eric, I believe that we can reach a mutually agreeable solution—Austin Energy will support locating the trail along the western border of the property during the site development process, and the Red Line Parkway Initiative will support the requested amendment to the North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan and stated civic uses above. Austin Energy, PW Urban Trails and the Red Line Parkway Initiative will continue to work together to achieve these goals. Austin Energy, Public Works and the Red Line Parkway Initiative recognize that additional stakeholders (e.g., CAP Metro, Watershed Protection, Development Services, etc.) will be participants in the site plan application process and may impose requirements that affect the placement of the trail and substation. Please confirm I have correctly captured our positions. If so, I recommend that Susan Groce report this agreement at the October 27 Planning Commission meeting so that it is captured in the record. Looking forward to working with you on this effort.

[A. Azhar-1st; R. Schneider – 2nd] Vote: 12-0 [J. Shieh recused due to a conflict of interest; owner of property near subject address]. 1 NPA-2020-0017.02 1 of 32B-4 Planning Commission: October 13, 2020 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommended for the applicant’s request for Multifamily land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for multifamily land use because it will add additional housing to the planning area and the city. Multifamily land use is appropriate for this location because there is multifamily land use to the north and east of the property. The proposed change would allow for additional residential units located near the North Lamar Boulevard Activity Corridor and the Crestview Station Town Center as identified on the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The Crestview Neighborhood Plan has objectives and recommendations that seek to protect existing single family uses and to also add housing types currently not available in the planning area for retirees and first time home buyers. The applicant’s proposal to build townhomes could help meet these goals. Land Use Objectives and Recommendations Land Use Objective 1: Preserve the character and affordability of the Crestview and Wooten Neighborhoods. Recommendations 1. Existing single-family residential areas should retain SF-3 zoning. Land Use Objective 5: Provide opportunities for the ultimate redevelopment of the Huntsman Petrochemical site to “complete” the neighborhood and create quality open space. Recommendations 1. Focus more intense commercial and mixed use development along Lamar Boulevard. a. Change the zoning for parcels fronting Lamar Boulevard to allow current uses to continue, but encourage redevelopment with more pedestrian-oriented mixed use. b. Prohibit or limit any additional development of incompatible industrial uses, such as basic …

SCHNEIDER-2ND] J. SHIEH-RECUSED. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Planned to be scheduled for November 12, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: No issues were identified for this proposal. 1 of 13B-5 C14-2020-0047 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: NPA A Neighborhood Plan Amendment was filed requesting that the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) be modified from single family to multi-family residence for the subject tract. A Virtual Neighborhood Meeting was webcast on July 9, 2020. (www.speakupaustin.org/npa) Neighborhood Planning supports modifying the FLUM from single family to multi-family. DENSITY The applicant requests multi-family residence (limited density) – neighborhood plan (MF-1-NP) combining zone district to build 13 dwelling units on .74 acres (32,380 sq. ft.). The subject tract is on the north side of Morrow Street about 350 feet west of North Lamar Boulevard and about 700 feet east of Watson Street. The property is currently zoned family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) which allows a single family or duplex unit on a minimum of 5,750 square feet; about 7.6 units to the acre. The platted SF-3 zoned lots along the north side of Morrow Street were each about a half-acre (21,780 sq. ft.) or the equivalent of about 3.8 times the minimum lot size for the SF-3 zone district. Many of the SF-3 lots on Morrow Street and Taulbee Lane (one block north) are developed with two or more dwellings or have been subdivided to the same effect. The subject tracts addressed as 902 and 904 Morrow Street have about 160 feet of Morrow Street frontage and 200 feet of lot depth. The requested MF-1 zoning requires 8,000 square feet for a lot and permits up to 6 units per lot. The proposed development density is for 17 units per acre. The west property line and 1/3rd of the north property line …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0093 – 4329 S Congress Ave DISTRICT: 3 ZONING FROM: CS-MU-NP TO: CS-MU-V-NP ADDRESS: 4329 – 4341 South Congress Avenue SITE AREA: 2.376 acres PROPERTY OWNER: South Congress Development LLC AGENT: Drenner Group PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant general commercial services – mixed use – vertical mixed use building – neighborhood plan (CS-MU-V-NP) combining district zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 13, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Planned to be scheduled for November 12, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract is located on South Congress Avenue, is developed with a mobile food vending court and a self storage facility, and has had general commercial services – mixed use – neighborhood plan (CS-MU-NP) zoning since Council approved the East Congress Neighborhood Plan rezonings in August 2005. There are retail and various commercial services, auto-related uses and apartments along both sides of Congress Avenue in the vicinity (CS-MU-NP; CS-MU-V-NP; CS-MU-CO-NP/MF-6-CO-NP). Please see Exhibits A and A-1 – Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The Applicant proposes to rezone the property and add a vertical mixed use building (–V) combining district to the existing zoning and develop it with up to 280 apartment units and 5,500 square feet of ground floor retail and restaurant uses. The property is designated as Mixed Use on the adopted Future Land Use Map (as is most of South Congress Avenue in the neighborhood planning area), and the Mixed Use designation B-61 of 19 C14-2020-0093 Page 2 is defined as “An area that is appropriate for a mix of residential and non-residential uses.” South Congress Avenue is also designated as a Core Transit Corridor. During the Vertical Mixed Use Overlay (VMU) Opt-in/Opt-out process conducted by the Neighborhood Planning and Zoning Department in 2007-09, an application to designate certain properties as appropriate to add the –V combining district or exclude other properties from the VMU overlay was not filed by the South Congress Combined Planning Contact Team. The addition of –V provides an additional development option to a property and allows it to retain the ability to redevelop under the existing CS base district. A –V does not grant: 1) additional height to the base zoning district which is 60 feet in the CS district or 2) additional impervious cover which is limited to 80 …

Brentwood Neighborhood Association Serving Our Neighborhood from 45th St. to Justin Lane and North Lamar to Burnet Road Planning Commission October 9, 2020 To: From: Brentwood Neighborhood Association Steering Committee Re: We are writing this letter to inform the Planning Commission that our Steering Committee cannot support the environmental variance at this site due to the following reasons: 1512 W. Koenig Lane Environmental Variance 1. Since being re-zoned in 2004 (from SF-3 to LO-MU-NP), the property has been cited by Code Compliance for non-permitted Change of Use (residential to commercial). a. As part of that illegal change of use, gravel was added to the entire backyard to facilitate parking (without the required permits). b. In addition, a number of trees were removed (under “residential” use, although commercial use conversion was underway). Replacement of the removed trees has never been sought by the City to mitigate the loss of our urban forest. (see 2012 and 2018 aerial photos above). 2. Flooding (without current improvements – parking, driveways, etc) exists at this site (see photo at right). This shows the illegal improvements prior to being required to seek official Change of Use permit. It also shows “empty” backyard (except for standing water) where trees were previously. a. Since this project has no required on-site detention, we believe that the vegetative strips (given the increase in impervious cover from original SF use to proposed use in Site Development package) will be insufficient to mitigate downstream flooding in Brentwood (and neighborhoods to our west that flow into Shoal Creek). b. Given the lack of good faith on the part of owners of this property, we are concerned that maintenance of filter beds and other features to remedy environmental impacts will not happen in a way that safely protects adjacent neighbors and properties downstream. 3. Therefore, we are asking you deny this variance unless the following are required: more robust on-site detention, replacement of trees, and rainwater collection. Your help in this matter is appreciated to keep our neighborhood safe, especially due to increased contributing areas to Atlas 14 in this immediate area. Respectfully, Kristine Poland, BNA President

Phone conversations are not included in backup. For all written comments received for this case, please refer to Exhibit C: Correspondence Received. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is approximately 1.45 acers in size, is primarily undeveloped and has access to the following streets: Lessin Lane, Reyna Street/Krebs Lane and Fort McGruder Lane. It is currently zoned SF-3-NP and is surrounded by SF-3-NP zoning to the west, north and east. To the south across Fort McGruder Lane is a property zoned GR-CO-NP. Along the western boundary of the property is floodplain and East Bouldin Creek which separates this property from the existing single-family structures. 1 of 12B-1 C14-2020-0085 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The applicant is requesting SF-6-NP district zoning to be permitted to construct a condominium development. This zoning district is intended for moderate density single family, duplex, two-family, townhouse, and condominium uses on larger lots. This lot approximately 1.45 acres with access to three streets on three sides of the property. Additionally, the SF-6 zoning district allows for more flexibility in site design which is important for sites containing environmental constraints such as large clusters of trees and floodplain areas. Rezoning to SF-6-would be consistent with the applicant’s intended use of the property and purpose statement of the district.

Because the site plan proposes an impervious cover amount of 69.1% without meeting the aforementioned conditions, a waiver to the maximum allowable impervious cover is required by Land Development Code Section 25-2-721(A)(1). According to the Land Development Code Section 25-2-721(A)(3)-(4), the Land Use Commission shall seek a recommendation from the Small Area Planning Joint Committee and the Environmental Commission for site plans seeking waivers from the requirements of the Waterfront Overlay Combining Districts. The applicant proposes to redevelop an existing used car sales lot into a three-story and 40-foot tall building of administrative and business office use with 5,820 square feet …

B11 of 4 September 22, 2020 To: Austin Planning Commissioners From: Dawson Neighborhood Association and additional engaged neighbors Re: 219 Lessin Ln, C14-2020-0085 The Dawson Neighborhood Association (DNA) and additional neighbors submit this summary of our perspectives. After meeting virtually (via Zoom) with the project owner and applicant, we mostly want the developer to respect the neighborhood. One of the best ways to respect current residents and owners would be for the developer to reduce the number of proposed units. Aspects of proposed SF6 zoning that seem better than SF3 zoning are increased setbacks from neighboring properties, height limits, and potentially better arrangement of units on the property. According to the proposed SF6 site plan the following seem positive: 1. a through street between Lessin Ln and Krebs Ln/Reyna St instead of multiple drives 2. agreement to remove gates on drives (as currently depicted) 3. preservation of all heritage trees 4. possible public pedestrian traffic on the through street Other major ideas from the neighborhood: 5. maximize green space, minimize impervious cover 6. manage runoff to protect neighbors' properties from flooding 7. manage construction to minimize noise, traffic, and disruption to neighbors 8. address traffic safety concerns regarding turning vehicles at the dead-end street of Lessin Ln and the sharp curve at Krebs Ln/Reyna St 9. consider the impacts to East Bouldin Creek As you know, the DNA was the first to develop a neighborhood plan in the 1990’s and therefore our group has experience with zoning and land use. We recognize that zoning is only the first step in a development process. We are not opposed to urban infill projects on principle, but as proposed, this project will dramatically increase density in the middle of our small neighborhood and therefore suddenly add much traffic and reliance on precious infrastructure resources. Existing residents should have a mechanism that ensures that developer-neighborhood negotiations at the time of re-zoning be maintained so that a change of heart by the developer or a subsequent buyer could not completely ignore the initial discussions. The mechanism could be something akin to a public restrictive covenant or a conditional overlay.

From: Alice Glasco < Sent: Monday, September 21, 2020 6:28 PM Subject: 219 Lessin Lane - Item B-1 on 9/22 PC Agenda *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Planning Commission Members: I represent the property owner and developer of the property at 219 Lessin Lane in a request for SF-6-NP zoning. This rezoning is not about density, it is about the need for design flexibility and efficiency in how this site is developed. The attached exhibits demonstrate how the site can be developed under SF-6 versus SF-3. Current SF-3 zoning: maximum allowable density is 18 units (9 subdivided lots with two units) – subdivision case number: C8-2020-0099 Achievable units: 16 Compatibility standards: not applicable Proposed SF-6 zoning: maximum allowable density is 18 units (on one site) Achievable units: 17 Compatibility standards: applicable Below is a summary of reasons/justification for SF-6-NP rezoning. • Site area: 1.45 -acre property zoned SF-3-NP, which allows duplexes, single-family detached housing, and accessory dwelling units. • Site constraints: Protected trees and floodplain make this awkwardly- shaped lot less-than-ideal for an arrangement of single-family, two-family, and duplex uses. • SF-6-NP zoning, which does not require subdividing the lot, would provide the developer with a way to orient the units, on one lot, in a much more architecturally and aesthetically pleasing manner. • SF-6-NP zoning would also make utility access and drainage much more sensible and it would enable the developer to grade the site more efficiently. • Building 17 reasonably sized units (1,200 - 1,700 Sq. Ft.) would allow the developer to offer reasonable price points ($500,000 - $600,000 vs. up to $950,000 with a subdivision) while maintaining the character of the neighborhood and arguably developing properties with less mass and intensity. In summary, we believe, SF-6 zoning opens the property and keeps the look, feel and authentic nature of the existing neighborhood. Rather than having big duplexes with Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s), there would be smaller homes arranged in a more natural way. With SF-6-NP zoning, the developer can use the land mor efficiently by including an internal driveway to enable better circulation, efficiency in connecting water, wastewater, and other utility services. ============================= Alice Glasco, President Alice Glasco Consulting 512-231-8110 W 512-626-4461 C
