PLANNING COMMISSION SITE PLAN COMPATIBILITY WAIVER REQUEST REVIEW SHEET 1010 W 26th LLC (Sudhakar Allada) Rivera Engineering (Michael Rivera, PE) PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: March 12, 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.

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 …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not support the applicant’s request to change the future land use map (FLUM) from Industry to Mixed Use to allow the construction of 280 multifamily residential units because the property is located with the McKinney Jobs Center where residential uses are not compatible with the dominant industrial character of the area. Industrial land uses should be preserved to provide much needed space for small businesses, warehouse, manufacturing, and blue-collar jobs. Below are sections from the Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan document: Industrial Zones (Page 55) A distinctive element of the existing land use landscape within the Planning Areas is that there are defined districts with large amounts of existing industrial development, and numerous undeveloped properties with industrial zoning. The fact that this part of southeast Austin is surrounded by major Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan transportation corridors, has a large amount of undeveloped land, and is in close proximity to the airport makes it a very attractive location for industrial development. The McKinney and Southeast NPAs host the majority of this type of construction, much of this in the form of large industrial office parks. Instead of rejecting industrial-type development around their homes, residents in the Franklin Park and McKinney NPAs have been successful at communicating and cooperating with nearby industrial property owners. Area residents have traditionally been amenable to those types of industrial uses that don’t interfere with neighborhood activities or infringe upon their quality of life. Goal 4: Ensure that existing residential and industrial zoned properties co-exist in a compatible manner. (Page 56) Objective …
