The Cherrywood Neighborhood is bounded by I-35, E. 38 ½ Street, Airport Boulevard, and Manor Road. We are a flourishing neighborhood of homes, businesses, and green spaces in Central Austin. P.O. Box 4631 | Austin, TX 78765 | www.cherrywood.org Contact | steering@cherrywood.org ___________________________________________________________________________________________ January 16, 2024 The Cherrywood Neighborhood Association (CNA) Steering Committee met on January 10, 2024 and considered the rezoning request (C14-2023-0130) and voted to support the request for rezoning to CS-1 to allow liquor sales on the two properties currently occupied by Thunderbird Coffee, and to recommend limiting certain uses. Commensurate with this rezoning we also request renewed engagement with the City of Austin on a sidewalk for Breeze Terrace as illustrated in the Cherrywood Sidewalk Master Plan. We appreciate that the applicants and Thunderbird owner reached out early in the process in October, 2023 to answer questions and met with an ad hoc group of our Steering Committee in December, 2023. Background Considerations The CNA has a long history of trying to shape the inevitable changes in the character of our neighborhood, with special consideration of changes in use and density on the transportation corridors that transect our area. We are not opposed to change in our neighborhood. CNA shares the Manor Road corridor with several other neighborhoods, notably Blackland and Rogers Washington-Holy Cross and Austin Heights. The evolution of the commercial properties from residential and retail to restaurants and bars has resulted in benefits for and impacts to residents of all our neighborhoods. This is a limited request to change the base zoning in order to allow a use for liquor sales, although no amendment to the Upper Boggy Creek Neighborhood Plan is required. We have reviewed and discussed with the applicants the other permitted and conditional uses allowed in CS-1 zoning and recommend several uses be prohibited or made conditional (see below). We understand both parcels will retain the Neighborhood Plan overlay. We were positively influenced by the commitment of Ryan McElroy, the applicant and business owner, who also operates several other businesses on this corridor, in the success of the corridor as a whole. As with many, if not all, conversions of businesses to bars and nightlife in the urban core of Austin, our first concerns are with parking, transportation access and congestion, and pedestrian safety, with secondary concerns about future expansion of seating which then exacerbates these concerns. This corridor is part …
MEMORANDUM ************************************************************************ TO: Claire Hempel, Chair Planning Commission Members FROM: DATE: RE: Cynthia Hadri Planning Department January 23, 2024 C14-2023-0133 – 5555 N. Lamar Rezoning Postponement Request by Staff ************************************************************************ The neighborhood requests a postponement of the above referenced rezoning case from the January 23, 2024, Planning Commission hearing to the February 27, 2024 hearing, to allow time for the neighborhood to work with the applicant.
Steering Committee Members: Christopher Hurst AIA, Chair Paula Hern, Meghan Yancy, Claudette Kazzoun, Rob Kish, Steve Amos, Germaine Curry, Margaret Sullivan, William Osborn, David Schofman, Shawn Shillington, Adam Sumrall, Erika Tatum January 22, 2024 RE: C14-2023-0138 - Enfield; District 9 – 1106 Enfield Road Dear Chair Hempel and Planning Commissioners, The Old West Austin Neighborhood Association, OWANA, Zoning Committee has voted to oppose the purposed re-zoning of 1106 Enfield from SF-3 to MF-3. The Zoning Committee appreciates Ricca Keepers, the applicant, and Caryn Carlson, the owner, for coming to our January meeting to discuss the rezoning of 1106 Enfield Road. No plans or drawings were presented to the committee. The sole reason for the re-zoning request is to hopefully increase the marketability for the sale of the property. The property was listed for sale last January 2023 and delisted for lack of offers July 2023. The house has been vacant for a year. OWANA does not support rezonings based solely on financial hardship. Recently approved code changes by the city now allow 3 units on SF zoned properties. Future code changes will allow even more units on SF zoned properties making this re-zoning request obsolete. The Zoning Committee believes that re-zoning this property will not guarantee the sale of the property. The current real estate market has slowed due to rising interest rates. There are other MF properties for sale in our neighborhood that have been on the market for a while and are not selling due to the current market conditions and desired sale prices. Additionally, the sale of this property is complicated by its location on Enfield Road. Access to the property is on a sloped, curved, one-way section of Enfield Road that neighbors find dangerous. Because of this, nearby neighbors oppose the re-zoning without seeing plans or drawings. When the property is sold and if the new owner wants to rezone the property, the OWANA Zoning Committee looks forward to reviewing their plans and drawings at that time. Please oppose the re-zoning of 1106 Enfield Road. OWANA does not want to set a precedent of up-zoning based on perceived economic hardship. We do not believe rezoning from SF-3 to MF-3 will solve the marketability of this property the owner intends to sell. Sincerely, Christopher Hurst, AIA OWANA Steering Committee Chair

ADDRESS: 3210 Esperanza Crossing SITE AREA: 0.347 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Domain Northside Retail Property Owner LP (James W. Geskey, Managing Director) AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Richard T. Suttle, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MI-PDA, Major Industrial-Planned Development Area Combining District, zoning to change a condition of zoning, to permit the Liquor Sales use on this property. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 9, 2023 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 1408 C14-2023-0144 - Domain Northside PDA Amendment; District 7 C14-2023-0144 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The site under consideration is a 0.347 acre pad that is currently developed with a restaurant use located at the northeast intersection of Esperanza Crossing and Rock Rose Avenue. The property at 3210 Esperanza Crossing contains a mixed-use development with residential, office, personal services and restaurant uses. There are mixed use developments to the north, east and west. There is a hotel/motel use and a multifamily use to the south, across Esperanza Crossing. In this rezoning request, the applicant is asking to amend the Planned Development Area overlay to add Liquor Sales as a permitted use to allow for a liquor store at this location (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends the applicant’s request to amend the Planned Development Area overlay as the requested change to the zoning will not alter the intent of the approved MI- PDA designation for this site. The proposed amendment will permit the applicant to develop a liquor store in a specific lease space within a larger mixed-use development within The Domain center. The proposed liquor sales use is compatible with other commercial and restaurant uses that have already been constructed within The Domain development. The proposed MI-PDA zoning will allow for a mixture of high-density residential uses, office uses, commercial uses and industrial uses to be developed on the property in question. The location of the site is appropriate for the proposed mixture and intensity of uses because the site …
