The ILA addresses the development regulations applicable to EISD educational facilities.

The ILA is scheduled for Council public hearing and action on July 18. Including the EISD ILA, there are three ILAs that inadvertently expired in 2021 that have not been re-adopted.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request to change the Land Use and Design Concept map from Live/Work Flex to TOD Mixed Use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The applicant is proposing to amend the Land Use and Design Concept Plan map(s) in the Plaza Saltillo TOD Station Area Plan from Live/Work Flex to TOD Mixed Use so the project can participate in the Density Plus Height Bonus Program. This program will require the proposed multifamily development to reserve a minimum of 15% of the entire square footage as affordable, on-site units for those earning no more than 50% Medium Family Income (MFI). The current designation as Live/Work Flex does not allow the property to participate in this program.

See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 28, 2024: Neighborhood postponement request granted to June 11, 2024. June 11. 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract is currently Office/Retail/Commercial built in approximately 1920 and 1947. To the north of the subject tract (across East 4th Street) is undeveloped land and a nightclub/bar (the historic Scoot Inn) built in approximately 1912, approximately 2,700 square feet east of the tract is a single-family home built in approximately 1909, of approximately 1,100 square feet. To the south of the subject tract are two newer duplexes and to the west of the subject tract is a single- family home built in approximately 1908, approximately 800 square feet. The subject tract is less than 500 feet from the Plaza Saltillo Red Line Station. The property currently contains zero dwelling units per acre. Target residential densities to support robust fixed-route or dedicated transit in an urban center are within the range of 75 to 150 dwelling units per acre within ½ mile radius of the station area. Without an increase in density, and additional more intense mixed-use development as parcels redevelop within the station area, the CapMetro Red Line and associated connecting bus service may under-perform. C14-2023-0153 2 A review of the subdistrict map within the regulating plan indicated a substantial amount of property zoned TOD Mixed Use Subdistrict on the north side of the station area, much further away from the station area. The TOD Mixed Use Subdistrict is found more than 3 times as far away from the station as the subject tract. This distribution is not uniform and there is not a compelling reason to maintain this distribution given its proximity to the station. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Areas zoned (TOD-NP) TOD Mixed …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Mixed Use Activity HUB/Corridor because the applicant proposes a mixed use development with 187 rental units, with 3,400 square feet of ground floor commercial uses. West Stassney Lane is an Activity Corridor as identified on the Imagine Austin Growth Concept Map where mixed use developments are appropriate. The proposed development will provide housing options for the City and the planning area to meet the Austin Strategic Housing Goals. The South Austin combined Neighborhood Plan states that Mixed Use Activity/HUBS are located at major intersections and along arterial roadways. Planning Commission: June 11, 2024 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Neighborhood Node - Neighborhood Node districts contain restaurants, shops, offices, and multi- family housing. The form of these areas is similar to Neighborhood Transition districts but with more commercial activity. Neighborhood Nodes have a similar mix of uses as Mixed Use Hubs, but primarily serve residents in the neighborhood. Building heights range from one to two stories (although many locations are zoned for greater height). PROPOSED LAND USE: Mixed Use Activity HUB/Corridor - Located at the intersections of major roadways and along arterial roadways, Mixed-Use Activity Hubs/Corridors are the most urban areas of the neighborhood and serve the surrounding neighborhoods and the broader community. They consist of a mix of services and housing types at a more intensive scale than a Neighborhood Node.

For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see pages 2 – 4. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 11, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 18, 2024 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: In December 2023, Ordinance No. 20220609-080, Ordinance No. 20221201-056 and Ordinance No. 20221201-055 were invalidated. On March 11, 2024, Ordinance No. 20240229-073, was enacted to create the “DB90” combining district, which amended City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to create a new zoning district for a density bonus program that grants 30 feet in height above the base zone, to a maximum of 90 feet, and modifies site development regulations including compatibility standards. Subsequently, the C14-2024-0033 Page 2 applicant submitted a rezoning application to request the -DB90 combining district, in order for the City to continue review of site plan. The property is located within the South Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan Area (South Manchaca), and the current FLUM (Future Land Use Map) designation is Neighborhood Node. A Neighborhood Plan Amendment (NPA) is on file with a request to change FLUM to Mixed Use Activity Hub/Corridor and is proposed to be heard at the June 11, 2024 Planning Commission. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of 2.163 acres and is located on the north side of West Stassney Lane, between Union Pacific Railroad right of way and Radam Circle, within the South Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan area, specifically South Manchaca. The property is currently developed with Limited warehousing and distribution use, and a childcare service use (CS-V-NP, LR-NP, GR-V-NP, MF-3-NP). To the north are single family residences (MF-2-NP).
