For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be Scheduled for City Council ISSUES No known issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed Restrictive Covenant Termination (RCT) area is approximately 12.04 acres in size and is part of a larger tract currenting being requested to be rezoned from PUD-NP to PUD-NP, to change the conditions of zoning, please see Zoning Case No. C814-89-0003.02. This tract was rezoned from “L” (Lake Development, Second Height and Area) to “C” (Commercial, Second Height and Area) in 1978. As a condition of that rezoning case, a 1 of 8B-7 C14-78-189(RCT) 2 restrictive covenant (RC) was created. This RC included restrictions to permitted land uses and special use permits as they existed in the City of Austin’s zoning ordinance as of November 1, 1978; and dedication of a perpetual 15-foot-wide public pedestrian and bicycle easement (to be recorded by a separate metes and bounds instrument).

[A. Azhar – 1st; J. P. Connelly -2nd] Vote: 11-0 [C. Hempel abstained on Items B-4 and B-5. P. Howard and J. Mushtaler absent]. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To not support the applicant’s request for Mixed Use land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The property is an 18.64 vacant tract of land sandwiched between East Ben White Boulevard and Montopolis Drive. The area is an industrial node with active industrial uses. The applicant has not submitted the associated zoning application at this time but proposes to build 1,200 multifamily units with 10% of the units being income restricted. Although a zoning case has not been filed, a review by the Austin Fire Department was made based on the information provided in the Summary Letter submitted by Thrower Design, the applicant’s agent. The Austin Fire Department does not support residential uses in this location because of the fire and toxicity hazards associated with the compressed and liquefied compressed gas stored in the vicinity, therefore staff does not support the applicant’s request for Mixed Use land use. The email from Scott Stookey from the Austin Fire Department is on page 14.

[A. Azhar – 1st; R. Schneider – 2nd] Vote: 11-0 [P. Howard off the dais. J. Shieh absent]. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends an alternate land use of Multifamily Residential land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Multifamily Residential land use instead of the applicant’s request for Mixed Use because the Multifamily Residential land use provides a transition between the Mixed Use land use and zoning to west of the property and the Single Family land use and zoning to the east. The three lots in this future land use map change encroaches into the residential area. Multifamily Residential land use is more appropriate in this situation. Below are Goals and Objectives from the North Loop Neighborhood Plan that supports this request. 2 2 of 37B-12 Planning Commission: February 8, 2022 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS EXISTING LAND USE ON THE PROPERTY Single family - Detached or two family residential uses at typical urban and/or suburban densities.

February 8, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 18B-13 C14-2021-0034 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question consists of three lots that are developed with single-family residences. The lots to the north, south and east are also developed with single family homes and zoned SF-3-NP. The tract of land to the west contains office/commercial uses zoned LR- MU. In this case, the applicant is requesting MF-2-NP zoning to develop for sale condominium residences (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C and Applicant’s Amendment Request – Exhibit D). The staff recommends MF-2-CO-NP, Multifamily Residence-Low Density-Conditional Overlay-Neighborhood Plan Combining district, zoning. The property in question is consistent with the intent of the MF-2 district as it is located near single family uses where low density multifamily residential uses are desired to provide for a mixture of housing opportunities. MF-2-CO-NP zoning will allow for a transition in the intensity of uses along East 53 ½ Street from the LR-MU zoning to the west to the SF-3-NP zoning to the east. The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan supports a variety of housing types throughout Austin, and the staff believes that the proposed residential zoning is consistent with the goals in the comprehensive plan. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 8, 2022: January 11, 2022: To postpone to February 8, 2022 as requested by Planning Commission, approved on consent. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 25 C14-2021-0138 2 ISSUES: The Applicant proposes utilizing the Plaza Saltillo TOD Density Bonus tool which allows increased floor-to-area ratio (FAR) for developments that include affordable residential units or pay a fee-in-lieu to the Housing and Planning Department (HPD). The Density Bonus tool permits the property to increase the building height from 40 feet to 60 feet to meet the permitted FAR of 2:1. This is already administratively permitted by the TOD. Since the Applicant intends to develop the property with office land uses with ground floor restaurant uses and sub-grade parking. Since there are no onsite residential units, the Applicant will be required to pay the fee in lieu. The rezoning request is to allow the property to increase the building height from 60 feet to 85 feet and increase the FAR from 2:1 to 3.81. If granted, the applicant will be required to pay the fee-in-lieu to HPD for the total increase in FAR. (Please see Exhibit C- Applicant Letter). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the north side of East 4th Street between Navasota Street and Onion Street. The rezoning tract is bounded by a vacated alley to the north. The property is zoned TOD-NP, as are the surrounding properties. The property is currently developed with office and warehouse uses.

Across Onion Street to the east are Indoor and Outdoor entertainment and Pedicab storage and dispatch service land uses. …
