PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 10, 2025: CITY COUNCIL: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is approximately 1.78 acres and is developed with a restaurant use and related surface parking (Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co.). The southern and western areas of the lot have creek buffer/ floodplain overlays. The rezoning area is situated on the southern side of W. Oltorf Street, with the site’s western lot line adjacent to the railroad line and subsequent crossing at W. Oltorf Street. Immediately adjacent to the east and to the south is a mobile home community (Woodview Community, zoned MH). Immediately across W. Oltorf Street to the north is a southern boundary of the Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Plan Area, and existing are Administrative & business office and Professional office uses; farther along W.

This proposal is within a ½ mile of both the Collier and Oltorf West ETOD station areas (Include - Bus). The rezoning to -V allow for relaxed development standards in exchange for affordable units, consistent with the “Include” ETOD typology. ETOD efforts should take advantage of the change occurring today to enable even more community members, especially low-income households and communities of color, to access existing services and opportunities while incrementally growing with more housing units for all income levels. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The general …

TO: Planning Commission M E M O R A N D U M FROM: Christopher Bueckert, Real Estate Services Agent Land Development Engineering, Transportation and Public Works Department DATE: June 10, 2025 SUBJECT: F# 2024-128390 LM (1114 West 5th Street) Street & Alley Right-of-Way Vacation Attached are the Application Packet and Master Comment Report regarding the right-of-way vacation application for an approximately 4,516 square foot portion of land, being the paved and developed right-of-way. The subject area is located abutting 1114 West 5th Street & 1134 Sayers Street, as shown on a map of survey prepared for G. Flury of Lot #1 & part of Lots #2 - 3 & 4 Block #10, Out Lot #11 Division Z, City of Austin, a Map of Survey recorded in Volume 3, Page 171 of the Plat Records of Travis County; being a portion of Sayers Street, a 40’ Right-of-way, the south 20’ being dedicated and shown as a 20’ Alley in Block 10, Sayers Subdivision, a subdivision recorded in Volume 1, Page 29 of the Plat Records of Travis County. The proposed vacation tract will be incorporated into the abutting parcels, which are owned by Anchor Equities Ltd, a Texas limited partnership if approved by City Council. According to the applicant’s transmittal letter dated September 21, 2024, received by the City of Austin, the applicant states, “How do you plan to develop the area to be vacated? Response: It is unknown at this time how the right of way vacation area would be developed.” All affected departments and private utility franchise stakeholders reviewed the application and recommended approval, subject to the reviewers’ conditions shown on the attached Master Comment Report. Per City Code §14-11-71 – Notice to Interested Property Owners: Public notices were sent to owners within 300’ of the area to be vacated. The Director of the Transportation and Public Works Department may approve the application after the 10th day that the notice is issued; and an affected property owner may submit comments regarding the proposed vacation. Public Notice was sent to appropriate parties on December 5, 2024. Three (3) objections were received after initial Public Notice. Upon applicant appeal and request for public hearing at City Council, twenty-seven (27) subsequent objections have been received by staff as of the date of this memorandum. This item was submitted for placement on the February 4, 2025, Urban Transportation Commission. Urban Transportation Commission …
Bueckert, Christopher From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Tyler Grooms <tgrooms@manifoldre.com> Sunday, December 15, 2024 3:37 PM Bueckert, Christopher Stefanie and Stephen Griffith; rsuttle@abaustin.com; Amanda Hendrix; amorrow@abaustin.com; Mila Santana Sayers Street Vacation - (2024-128390 LM) at 1114 West 5th Street You don't often get email from tgrooms@manifoldre.com. Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Christopher, I’m writing to request that the vacation of Sayer’s Street be removed from the agenda for Planning Commission on Tuesday. We were surprised to learn about this process only through the notification process to go to planning commission. Our understanding is that according to §311.008 Transportation Code, the city may vacate, abandon, or close a street by ordinance if a petition signed by all owners of real property abutting the street is submitted to the governing body. We are unaware of this petition and the owners have never signed such a petition. Per the included backup for Planning Commission, the owner’s property clearly abuts and takes access to Sayers Street (both Lot 19 and 18 abut Sayers Street). The owners of the property are copied on this email as well (Stefanie and Stephen Griffith of Griffith Properties) who object to the vacation of Sayers Street. Currently their tenants at 503 and 505 Walsh Street (tenants of their family’s partnership Walsh Street Venture 2, LLC) make regular use of Sayers Street. Marc Fray (the tenant at 503 and 505 Walsh Street) depends (and has depended for a decade) on Sayers Street to have furniture delivered to his business. Sayers Street is the only access point to this property for large trucks as access via Walsh Street is too steep and narrow for trucks. It is important to note that Sayers Street is so crucial to Mr. Fray's business that the Griffiths are in breach of contract if Sayers is vacated and Mr. Fray loses access to his business (see section 4 in below attachment). Therefore, as directly adjoining property owners having small local business tenants whose existence has depended for decades on Sayers Street, the Griffith’s object fully and strongly to vacating Sayers Street. Finally, we are working on developing the Griffith’s property. Our plans submitted to the city (SP-2024-0428) demonstrate the continued and necessary use of Sayers Street for fire access, utility access, vehicular access and loading access as a vital part of the development plan. 1 12 2024-128390 LM - 1114 W …

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to offer my wholehearted recommendation and support for The Acre as they seek to maintain their zoning rights to continue operating their exceptional daycare and boarding facility for dogs. As a longtime client of The Acre, I can confidently attest to the outstanding quality of care, professionalism, and dedication the staff shows to every animal in their care. My dog, Goose, has been attending daycare and has boarded at the facility on several occasions, and each experience has exceeded my expectations. The facility is clean, secure, and thoughtfully designed to ensure the comfort and safety of all animals, while also providing them with ample enrichment and social interaction. Not to mention the field they have for the dogs, ensure they are reaching adequate exercise time to make sure our dogs stay healthy. What truly sets The Acre apart is their deep commitment to each pet’s well-being. When Goose was recovering from surgery, the staff provided him with a safe, quiet, and closely monitored environment during the day—something that was an enormous help to me as a working pet owner. Knowing he was in capable and caring hands allowed me to focus on work without worrying about his recovery. That level of support goes above and beyond typical care and speaks volumes about the integrity and compassion of the team. The Acre provides a much-needed service to our community, supporting local pet owners who rely on quality care for their animals during workdays, travel, or emergencies. Their continued operation is not only a benefit to their clients and pets but also contributes positively to the neighborhood by promoting responsible pet ownership and providing local employment. I strongly urge the city to recognize the vital role this facility plays and support their request to maintain zoning approval. It is rare to find a business so devoted to excellence, compassion, and community. Sincerely, Troy, District 6 02 NPA-2024-0020.01 - 6201 Crow Lane; District 21 of 3 Millie thrived with the special attention and structure the Acre gave her. She was adopted as a one-year-old from the shelter and had human reactivity and resource guarding. Yet, she loved other dogs so much that we saw behavioral improvements from her learning to trust humans from them through play. We knew that play groups with other dogs where they showed her humans weren’t too bad was the key …

Dear Ms. Middleton-Pratt: As representatives of the owner of the Property, we respectfully request a postponement of zoning case no. C14-2025-0039 on the June 10, 2025, Planning Commission agenda to the June 24, 2025, Planning Commission agenda. This postponement is intended to allow additional time to respond to the concerns from the Galindo Elementary Neighborhood Association (GENA). Please let me know if you have any questions or if we can provide any additional information. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, Drew Raffaele cc: Marcelle Boudreaux, Planning Department (via electronic delivery) Joi Harden, Planning Department (via electronic delivery) 2705 Bee Cave Road, Suite 100 | Austin, Texas 78746 | 512-807-2900 | www.drennergroup.com 07 C14-2025-0039 - 1305 W Oltorf; District 31 of 1
Planning Commission Meeting of June 10, 2025 C14-2025-0039 Marcelle Boudreaux 1305 W.Oltorf Street Dear Planning Commission Members, The Galindo Elementary Neighborhood Association, GENA, voted at our general membership meeting of May 19 to oppose the rezoning request for 1305 W. Oltorf Street from CS-General Commercial Services District to CS-V, General Commercial Services District with Vertical Mixed Use Building (V) Combining District. The FEMA floodplain maps show a portion of 1305 W. Oltorf street is in the floodplain and is adjacent to a large floodplain on its back border. The west side of the property is flanked by the Union Pacific railroad tracks and the property's driveway is adjacent to the the railroad crossing on Oltorf. Attached are a video and frame grabs captured at 1305 W.Oltorf Street during the historic flood of October 2015. During this flooding event which had rainfall amounts of 10-12 inches in hours, the Travis County Constable and residents of the adjacent Woodview Mobile Home Park had to be evacuated by boat. As noted in the Notice of Public Hearing, CS-General Commercial Services District is intended predominantly for commercial and industrial activities of a service nature having operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments. This site is not appropriate for residential use. The railroad crossing, floodplain and the geographic features of the site make it unsuitable and unsafe for residences. All three of the Future Land Use Maps (last updated in 2006) generated by GENA and the city's planning department show this site as CS only because of the known risks. Unfortunately, the applicant was granted a waiver on the required traffic study despite known and documented traffic and flooding issues at this site; claiming traffic trips will be reduced when the project is built. Oltorf is also a major east-west route across South Austin and has frequent traffic jams extending for several blocks in both directions at the railroad crossing. Since 2015, impervious cover has greatly increased in the central city and flood mitigation efforts have been an underfunded priority until recently. With the recent flooding and deaths in central Austin, it is in the best interests of the city to put the safety and wellbeing of their residents first. GENA welcomes development that is appropriate for this site and does not put our residents and the lives of first responders in danger. We urge all of you to vote no …

Amos, Chair Renae Alsobrook, Mark Ashby, Evelyn Fujimoto, Adrienne Goldsberry, Paula Hern, Nick Mehl, William Osborn, Charlie Rice, Paul Shattuck, Shawn Shillington, Erika Tatum, Meghan Yancy June 8, 2025 RE: Item 8 C14-2025-0043 - 608 Blanco Dear Chair Azhar and Members of the Planning Commission, The Old West Austin Neighborhood Association (OWANA) is writing to express our support for the proposed rezoning of 608 Blanco Street from MF4-HD-NP to LR-MU-CO-HD-NP. We believe this rezoning, with its accompanying Conditional Overlay and Restrictive Covenant, represents a thoughtful and balanced approach to land use that supports the continued vitality of our neighborhood while respecting its character and historical context. The conditions proposed—particularly the prohibited uses outlined in the Conditional Overlay and the hours of operation and other provisions included in the Restrictive Covenant—reflect meaningful community input and help ensure that any future development remains compatible with surrounding residential and historic uses. We appreciate the efforts made by Riverside Resources to reach a compromise that promotes smart, contextual development. Provided that the Conditional Overlay and Restrictive Covenant are upheld and enforced as currently outlined, OWANA believes this project will bring long-term benefit to the area and contribute positively to the broader goals of the neighborhood plan. Thank you for your time and your continued service to the community. I respectfully urge you to support this rezoning request. Sincerely, Stephen L. Amos Steering Committee Chair Old West Austin Neighborhood Association 08 C14-2025-0043 - 608 Blanco; District 91 of 1
June 5, 2025 RE: 2024-128390 LM Right-of-Way Vacation Dear Chair Hempel and Planning Commissioners, My husband and I are residents of the Old West Austin neighborhood and members of the Old West Austin Neighborhood Association (OWANA). I am writing to state OWANA’s continued opposition to the proposed closure of Sayers Street (Application No. 2024-128390 LM). As neighborhood residents we are also opposed to closure of the street, and the application also lacks support from all adjacent property owners. Sayers Street is an essential service corridor used daily by adjacent property owners and businesses for deliveries, infrastructure access, and safe traffic circulation away from pedestrian-oriented neighborhood streets like 5th, 6th, and Walsh. The claim that it is under-utilized or orphaned is simply false. For example, Walsh Ventures 2, LLC has a long-standing business that depends on Sayers for large vehicle access that will be cut off if the street is closed. Additionally, their site plan for a mixed-use development with 25 affordable housing units depends on the continued public use of Sayers for access, loading, garage entry, and utility placement. This development has broad community support and is nearing key milestones. Approving this vacation would directly undermine that progress and the City of Austin's stated housing and mobility goals. We feel that a private party should not be allowed to vacate an active public right-of-way that serves critical community functions and provides access to multiple properties. 12 2024-128390 LM - 1114 W 5th Street; District 91 of 100 It is not within a private applicant’s authority to override existing public use or force access concessions for private benefit. We urge the Commission to reject this petition and uphold the public interest in preserving access to Sayers Street.

From the Home of Evelyn M. Fujimoto 29 April 2029 Mayor Kirk Watson and City Council Members Austin City Council City Hall, Council Chamber 301 W 2nd St. Austin, Texas 78701 United States of America Subject: Item 50: 2024-128390 LM Right-of-Way Vacation Dear Mayor Watson and City Council Members: I strongly oppose the proposed vacation of Sayers Street initiated by Anchor Equities and scheduled for the May 8th hearing. The proposal has already received unanimous opposition from the Urban Transportation Commission and was formally denied by the Transportation and Public Works Department. I live in a multi-family housing development located on a block bounded by W. 6th , W. 5th , Oakland, and Pressler Streets, in close proximity to Sayers Street. The proposed closure would adversely impact my community experience. The Old West Austin Neighborhood Association (OWANA), along with the owners of 503 and 505 Walsh Street, firmly support Sayers Street remaining open. This corridor is essential for pedestrian safety, service vehicle access, and future development viability. It provides critical infrastructure support - trash collection, deliveries, and transformer placement - while keeping such functions off pedestrian friendly streets. District 9 Council Member Qadri supports the UTC and staff recommendations to keep Walsh Street open based on the facts of this case, including that the area property owners were not in agreement. Sayers Street is also vital for businesses at 503 and 505 Walsh, whose operations had relied on large delivery vehicles that cannot access the properties from Walsh due to topography. Claims that the street is used only by retail customers are demonstrably false. Additionally, the planned “Sixth and Walsh” mixed-use development, which includes 25 affordable housing units, depends on continued public access to Sayers Street for utilities, loading, and garage access. Vacating the street would stall the project and increase traffic congestion on Walsh Street.

Fujimoto We are concerned that Anchor Equities, which owns adjacent parcels, is seeking to privatize Sayers for future development. Despite claims of no immediate redevelopment plans, such intentions seem inconsistent with ongoing development activity in the area. The petition for vacation identifies only the portion of Sayers Street that runs east and west, not the portion that …

Our intent is to renotify this request for a public hearing after the adjacent owner’s site plan no. SP-2024-0428C.SH has been approved by the City.
