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 REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2023-021 Electric Vehicle Charging Land Use Description: Amend City Code Title 25-2 (Zoning) to create a new land use for Electric Vehicle Charging. Background: Initiated by City Council Resolution No. 20230608-082. On June 8, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 20230608-082, initiating amendments to City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to create a new land use for “Electric Vehicle Parking.” The resolution directed staff to consider options that would prevent the use from becoming concentrated within activated or residential areas, allow the use through the conditional permit process, and limit the use to General Commercial Services CS or less restrictive zoning districts. Summary of Proposed Code Amendment: Amend City Code 25-2, Subchapter A, Article 4 (Commercial Uses Described) to add a new use of “electric vehicle charging” and to renumber the remaining uses accordingly: (26) Electric Vehicle Charging use is the use of a site for the charging of an electric vehicle (EV), including battery charging stations and rapid charging stations, each as defined by the United States Department of Energy. Amend City Code 25-2-491 (Permitted, Conditional, and Prohibited Uses) to add Electric Vehicle Charging to the use chart. Create a new section of Austin City Code (25-2-819 – Electric Vehicle Charging Use Regulations) to describe additional requirements applicable to the use, including: • Permitting the use in General Commercial Services (CS), Commercial Liquor Sales (CS- 1), Commercial Highway (CH), Industrial Park (IP), Major Industry (MI), Limited Industrial Services (LI), and Research and Development (R&D) zoning districts, with the following requirements: o The use is permitted on sites abutting suburban roadways, highways, hill country roadways, or internal circulation routes. o The use is permitted on sites abutting core-transit corridors, future core-transit corridors, and urban roadways if: The nearest Electric Vehicle Charging use is at least 1,000 feet away; and The site does not exceed 25,000 square feet in area. o The use is conditional on sites abutting core-transit corridors, future core-transit corridors, and urban roadways if: The nearest Electric Vehicle Charging use is less than 1,000 feet away; or 1 03/28/2024C20-2023-021 The site exceeds 25,000 square feet in area. • Permitting the use on a site when the base zoning district is commercial or industrial and a service station use is an existing use or was a previous use for the site unless the use was already converted to a residential, …
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 • …
