B-06 C14-2022-0031 - Remove Vehicular Access Restriction to Morrow Street; District 7.pdf — original pdf
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2022-0031 – Remove Vehicular Access Restriction DISTRICT: 7 to Morrow Street ZONING FROM / TO: TOD-NP, to change a condition of zoning ADDRESS: Intersection of Easy Wind Drive and Morrow Street SITE AREA: 32.63 acres APPLICANT: City of Austin – Housing and Planning Department CASE MANAGER: Andrei Lubomudrov (512-974-7659) Andrei.lubomudrov@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to approve the zoning change to transit oriented development – neighborhood plan (TOD-NP) combining district zoning, to remove the vehicular access restriction to Morrow Street. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 10, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 9, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Crestview Neighborhood Association has requested postponement of the rezoning application. Please refer to correspondence attached at the back of the Staff report. The Applicant, in this case the City of Austin, has submitted a zoning application to remove a condition added to the Crestview TOD in 2011 to restrict vehicular access to Morrow Drive from Easy Wind Drive. The application was filed as a result of City Council direction provided in Resolution No. 20220217-037. Removing the zoning condition restricting access would ensure long-term unimpeded access to Morrow Drive from the Crestview Station area. The Austin Transportation Department recommended removal of the gate following a three- month traffic study that found opening the gate created no significant safety risks. B-61 of 30 C14-2022-0031 Page 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning change removes the restriction on vehicular access to Morrow Street via Easy Wind Drive. Further changes to the Crestview Station TOD are not proposed. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The transit oriented development (TOD) district is the designation for an identified transit station and the area around it. The district provides for development that is compatible with and supportive of public transit and a pedestrian-oriented environment. Staff believes the proposed zoning is consistent with the district as it increases overall access to transit at Crestview station. The neighborhood plan (NP) district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. 2. The requested change to the TOD-NP zoning would promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses by promoting easier vehicular access to transit, housing, …

We are requesting the following waiver to the Land Development Code to make the project feasible: Request: Allow to reduce the 25’ no build setback to 5’ The site is composed of 2 tracts of land adding up to 0.28 acres zoned CS-MU-V-CO-NP, surrounded by SF-3-NP properties. If it were to comply with compatibility standards, this site would be forced to be developed within 0.16-acres. To achieve this density, the unit configuration would be forced to be denser in a more compact layout. Constructing townhomes within these standards is not feasible. We would like to request that the compatibility standards are modified to reduce the no build zone from 25’ to 5’ and The 50’ setback to 20’, to build five 3-story townhomes 20’ from the western SF-3 property and 25’ from the northern SF- 3 property. Attached to this letter is the proposed building elevations sheet. We believe this request does not disrupt the neighborhood’s feel and meets the intent of the code, such that no high density or commercial developments occur in a near proximity to a single-family lot. The proposed density is 5 homes for two commercial lots. Allow to reduce the 50’ setback to 20’ [LDC 25.2.1063]. Please accept this letter as our official request. If you have any questions, please call us at 512-761-6161. Sincerely, Alejandra Flores Project Engineer May 06, 2022

Planning Commission May 10,2022 Item 22 ASMP Update _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Commissioners; I’m Joe Reynolds. I live on West 49th St I want to briefly discuss how defective planning leads to later failed projects. Planning in Austin often focuses only on a desired outcome, not on the costs or problems of implementation. That seems very true for this version of ASMP. The streets have been considered only based on issues seen with a map, weighted by other things like bicycle plans, etc. Many of the streets have ROW specifications that have very low likelihood of being realized. Think Hancock next to the Cemetery and with a State controlled bridge over MoPac. 49th St bordered on both side by State land, and a State parking garage. Barton Creek Rd with a railroad bridge. Other plans have been similar in focus, like the Trail Plan; “Downtown to the Domain”. This defective focus leads to trouble, because during implementation the Plan is taken to be Real; “It’s approved by Council.” So, the builders don’t look for trouble, but then find it. Implementation of the Trail Plan followed the selected route, and contracted for a paved path along Shoal Creek. They didn’t check for well known geologic conditions that made the route infeasible, namely the Del Rio Clay that makes Shoal creek banks very unstable. The resulting collapse now has a cost just under $20 million. ASMP is doing the same thing, choosing routes without listing limitations. Some, like the cemetery along Hancock will be obvious problems, caught during project implementation. Others, will not likely be caught. Barton Springs Rd at Lamar has a long history of hillside collapse. Yet, ASMP calls for wider ROW that would disturb the existing hillside, causing another collapse. ASPM similarly ignores things like pipeline ROW, and like the Trail Plan, ignores geology. ASMP should not be advanced until issues of implementation are identified, recognized, and clearly noted for following teams who are building projects. Plans must be more than just desires and objectives, they must include limitations and logistics. Thank You.

B-06 Public Communication.pdf — original pdf
Brandy Maggio 810 W St Johns Ave Unit 1159 Austin, TX 78752 May 9th, 2022 I’m writing to oppose 2022-036792 ZC, which would permanently open the gate between Easy Wind and Morrow St and which they have been recently testing out. I have serious concerns around how this will impact the safety of the residents using the street. In particular, I’m worried about how it would disproportionately affect: 1) those with visual impairments and other disabilities who live in this area to be closer to transit and 2) the many children who live in the neighborhood and their families who chose this area to raise them. The neighborhood off of Easy Wind is extremely walkable and there are always people enjoying the day, strolling with their children, people walking dogs, and frequent bicycle riders on the road. The way the area is developed, it encourages people to cross Easy Wind frequently, as well as many side roads. For years, this has never been a problem; people driving around were not driving thru the neighborhood; they lived in the neighborhood and were respectful of their neighbors. They took a care for their safety. Since the gate was removed, I’ve noticed an increase in traffic going thru the neighborhood. Additionally, those who are driving out towards Morrow are driving at higher speeds. I, personally, have had one very close call with a car who was driving out of Easy Wind towards Morrow street and did not stop as I attempted to cross at an intersection. There have been other situations that were avoided primarily because I chose not to attempt to cross, even when I had the right of way. And I have full vision; I worry about the impact for my neighbors who are more limited. That easily could have been a tragedy. Children are also not always so wise, no matter how many times we tell them to look both ways. I’m assuming that part of the reason this is being opened is to allow for easier access of emergency vehicles. Or perhaps it was to allow an alternative route out of the area for the first responders who live in our neighborhood. I was also concerned when I saw the way the gate was closed off, with the lock and everything. I had hoped that the reason it was removed was to upgrade the barrier into something that first …

PROPERTY OWNER: TALEM INVESTMENTS LLC AGENT: McNair Consulting, LLC (Jason McNair) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends SF-3-NP, Family Residence-Neighborhood Plan Combining District, zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 26, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 12 C14-2022-0022 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The site under consideration is developed with a 979 sq. ft. single family house on an 8,908 sq. ft. lot. The properties to the north, east and west are developed with single family residences, zoned SF-2-NP. To the south, across, South Meadows Drive, there are single- family homes, zoned SF-2-NP, and a duplex residence, zoned SF-3-NP. The applicant is requesting SF-3-NP zoning so that he can add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to the property. The staff recommends SF-3-NP zoning at this location because the property meets the intent of the Family Residence zoning district. The proposed rezoning will promote consistency and orderly planning because there are numerous properties within this neighborhood that are zoned SF-3-NP. The lots directly behind/ to the north of this site are developed with duplex residences fronting N. Meadows Drive. The proposed addition of an ADU to this site will provide for more housing units in this area.
