December 20, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 205 C14-2022-0136 ISSUES: 2 An Amnesty Certificate of Occupancy (CO) was granted for a Site Plan Exemption request for this property on January 21, 2022, as construction of the existing development was started prior to annexation (please see Exhibit C). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property under consideration is developed with a 2 story,10-unit multifamily structure on a 0.304 acre lot. The lots to the north are zoned CS-NP and are developed with office and warehouse uses. To the south, there is SF-2-NP zoning with a single family residence. The lot to the east, across Newmont Road, is zoned GR-MU-CO-NP and is used as an automotive repair business. The lots to the west are zoned SF-2-NP and developed with a duplex residential use and single family residences. The applicant is requesting GO-MU-NP zoning to bring the existing multifamily residential use into conformance with use regulations in the Land Development Code. The staff recommends GO-MU-NP zoning at this location because the site under consideration meets the intent of the office district and mixed use combining district. GO- MU-NP zoning will bring the existing multifamily residential use into conformance with the Land Development Code regulations and will provide for a transition in the intensity of uses from the commercial zoning to the north to the single family zoning to the south. Office- Mixed Use zoning is appropriate for this tract because the property is located midblock, not at an intersection where more intensive commercial zoning is typically located. GO-MU-NP zoning allows for the same residential unit density as MF-4 zoning and will permit civic, office and low density commercial uses, as well as residential uses on the property. The neighborhood planning staff is recommending a proposed FLUM change from Single Family to Mixed Use/Office for this site in related case, NPA-2021-0007.01. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. …

The applicant is requesting DMU-V zoning to redevelop this site with a multifamily housing use (please see Applicant’s Amendment Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends DMU-V, Downtown Mixed Use-Vertical Mixed Use Building Combining district, zoning. The proposed zoning is compatible and consistent with surrounding land uses and zoning patterns in this area as there is DMU-H zoning to the southeast and DMU-CO zoning to the west. The area under consideration is located to the south of the West Campus Neighborhood Overlay (Inner West Campus), across W. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. The lots in question are within the Northwest District in the Downtown Area Plan. The DAP calls for DMU 60 for these tracts and this property is ineligible for the Downtown Density Bonus Program (please see attached Exhibit D- Downtown Austin Plan Exhibits). However, with the adoption of VMU2 and modification of compatibility and parking requirements along certain roadways, the City Council has signaled that they are supportive of additional height on major corridors. Therefore, the staff is recommending DMU-V zoning for this property that fronts onto West Martin …

The site under consideration meets the intent of the SF-6 base district as it takes access to Montopolis Drive, a Level 3 roadway. The proposed zoning will provide for a transition from the SF-3-NP zoning to the north to the PUD-NP zoning to the south.

The proposed Conditional Overlay limits building height to 60 feet, and prohibits bail bond services, cocktail lounge, liquor sales, outdoor entertainment, and pawn shop services. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see pages 2-3 of this report. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: December 20, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: January 26, 2023: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. The Applicant has discussed this case with the Old Austin Neighborhood Association (OANA) and is in agreement with the requested list of prohibited uses. Please refer attached correspondence. The prohibited uses have been applied to other rezoning cases in the vicinity, and therefore Staff does not object and has incorporated them into the Staff recommendation. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of a portion of one platted lot, which is located on Nueces Street on the south side of an alley between West 14th Street and West 13th Street. The property proposed for rezoning is a 0.0753-acre site currently zoned as general office (GO) district, representing an office use that serves community or citywide needs, such as medical 1 of 1219 C14-2022-0137 Page 2 or professional offices. The subject site is not located within a documented floodplain or within a creek buffer. The property is square in shape and contains a 1,362 square foot, two-story law office, a parking area and trees.

There are existing office uses at the properties immediately in every direction from the subject site, most of which are zoned GO with the exception of the tract to the south which has DMU-CO zoning (C14-2010-0197). There are also properties zoned DMU-CO a little further to the northwest and northeast on West 14th Street. It should also be noted that the Downtown Austin Plan calls for changing the zoning of the subject site to DMU-60. The plan also includes recommendations to replace single use zoning districts, including GO, with DMU zoning designations …
