Gaudini) CASE MANAGER: Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov ) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant downtown mixed use – historic landmark - conditional overlay – (DMU – H - CO) combining district zoning. The conditional overlay limits building height to 60 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2.

SEEGER – ABSENT; ONE VACANCY ON THE COMMISSION. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: February 18, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES B-61 of 19 C14-2020-0112 2 Applicant requested DMU district zoning that allows for a maximum of 120-foot building height. Applicant also indicated that they would seek a Downtown Density Bonus to achieve additional building height. The building designs presented to the Historic Landmark Commission in October 2020 were almost 360 feet tall. The staff recommendation of DMU-H-CO with the Conditional Overlay limiting building height to 60 feet would not permit the proposed building. If the Staff recommendation is approved by Council, a subsequent rezoning application to DMU without a Conditional Overlay would be required to obtain and use the Downtown Density Bonus Program for bonus height and Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) to achieve the entitlement to build over 60 feet. At their November 16, 2020 meeting, the Historic Landmark Commission (HLC) requested that City staff prepare a Historic zoning application for the Delta Kappa Gamma Building. On December 14, 2020, HLC recommended historic (H) district zoning be added to the zoning string of the property. A historic zoning case was filed on January 13, 2021 and is being processed concurrently (C14H-2021-0006).

M E M O R A N D U M TO: Jerry Rusthoven, Assistant Director, Housing and Planning Department FROM: Katie Wettick, AICP, Program Manager, Public Works Department CC: Pamela England, Austin Energy Facilities Amy Newman, Austin Energy Facilities John Powell, P.E. PMP, Austin Energy, Electric Service Delivery DATE: January 22, 2021 SUBJECT: NBG Austin Energy Substation Rezoning (C14-2020-0128) The Urban Trails Program is partnering with Austin Energy and the Corridor Program Office at the Kramer Lane site. The partnership will add needed water quality and detention facilities and an urban trail to the west side of the parcel in coordination with the substation development. The Urban Trails Program promotes multi-use pathways for recreation and active transportation with the goal of helping people of all ages and abilities travel from one end of the city to another in a safe and healthy way. The Urban Trails Network is an important piece of the overall transportation network needed to achieve a 50% mode-shift by 2039, as called for in the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan. The Red Line Trail, a proposed 32-mile trail system along Capital Metro’s Red Line is identified as a high priority trail. A portion of this trail is proposed through the Kramer site and will be constructed as part of Austin Energy’s substation development. The Kramer site is a City owned parcel with custodial rights managed by Austin Energy. This site serves the Public Works Department, Fleet Services, and a substantial component of Austin Energy North, engineering and construction. The Urban Trails Program supports the proposed coordinated approach to site development as it allows for, and expands, the important services the Kramer site already serves while improving connectivity in the area, through the addition of the Red Line Trail. This multi-departmental collaboration will benefit the City of Austin and the North Burnet Gateway community. Sincerely, Katie Wettick, AICP
To: Mayor Adler Oak Hill Neighborhood Planning Contact Team District 8 Council Member Paige Ellis Council Members Harper-Madison, Fuentes, Renteria, Casar, Kitchen, Kelly, Pool, Tovo, and Alter Planning Commission Members Maureen Meredith, Senior Planner, City of Austin Housing and Planning Department Kate Clark, Senior Planner, City of Austin Housing and Planning Department "We, the undersigned owners of property affected by the requested zoning change described in the NPA-2020-0025.01 • Zoning Case #: C14-2020-0102 • 7815 Thomas Springs Rd. 6.49 ac. From: Oak Hill Neighborhood Planning Contact Team RE: The Oak Hill Neighborhood Planning Contact Team met with neighborhood stakeholders, the applicant and applicant's agent. The Contact Team urges Boards and Commissions, City staff, and City Council to accommodate the requests of those neighborhood stakeholders, including those articulated in the petition (below): referenced file, do hereby protest against the change in the Land Development Code as presented. Although 7815 Thomas Springs Road is being referred to as a single lot or property, it is actually two properties which have been joined together. The current configuration seems to be at odds with the original land use and plat intended for the property with frontage on Wier Loop Road. Linking these two parcels together seems contrived and never should have been permitted. Although there are existing commercial businesses on Thomas Springs Road, they are generally small and they have a minimal impact on the community. Although restrictive to a degree, the proposed WLO zoning has the potential to allow the developer to build warehouses with dock high delivery doors that will allow large trucks to again travel unimpeded on Thomas Springs Road. Additionally, this entire property sits in an environmentally sensitive area and the run-off has the potential to disrupt the environmental balance we currently enjoy.
