ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 3 TO: TOD-NP, to change a condition of zoning CASE: C14-2021-0138 1400 E 4th Street ZONING FROM: TOD-NP ADDRESS: 1400 East 4th Street SITE AREA: 0.9983 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Robert C. Beall and Beth A. Beall AGENT: Armbrust & Brown PLLC (Richard Suttle) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request for rezoning to TOD-NP to amend the Saltillo Plaza Transit Oriented District (TOD) Station Area Plan and Regulating Plan to allow a building height up to 85 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 11, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 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. The property across the alley to the north are Capital Metro offices. Plaza Saltillo rail station is northeast across the intersection of the alley and Onion Street. Across Onion Street to the east are Indoor and Outdoor entertainment and Pedicab storage and dispatch service land uses. A mixed use multifamily/office building is also under construction on the block. Across East 4th Street to the south are …

Cauvin'; 'Curtis Rogers' 815 W.11th (item B-13) -- please support the request for 60' *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hey Planning Commissioners: I hope you’ll vote to support applicant’s request, and staff’s recommendation, for 60 feet of height at 815 W.11th Street. This is item B‐13 on your agenda for Tuesday, Jan. 11. The Downtown Austin Plan was approved over a decade ago. In the years since then, we’ve adopted Imagine Austin (2012), the Strategic Housing Blueprint (2017), the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (2018), and Project Connect (2020). All of these plans argue for a more compact, transit‐oriented central city. Restricting this site to 40 feet of height would fly in the face of all those more recent planning efforts. We really need to start taking climate change seriously. That means allowing greater density in central locations like this that can be served well by transit. I have lived in old homes in this neighborhood since 1990. In my view, the most urgent priority for our neighborhood is to add more housing, as the applicant proposes here. Welcoming new neighbors serves the interests of this neighborhood, this city, and this planet. Thanks for your service, and for considering this input.

It is within the North Burnet/Gateway Combined Neighborhood Planning Area and is located at the northeast corner of Burnet Road and Gault Lane. The property in question is zoned NBG with a Neighborhood Residential subdistrict designation (NBG-NR). There is a multifamily use to the north and east (Radius at the Domain Apartments). To the south, there is an office complex (IBM Broadmoor campus) containing seven-buildings with 1.1 million square feet of office space. Across Burnet Road to the west, there is another financial services use (Capital Credit Union) and office uses. The applicant is requesting a rezoning to the NBG with a Commercial Mixed Use subdistrict designation (NBG-CMU) to allow for a professional office use development with a base entitlement height of 120 feet and 3:1 FAR (Please see Applicant Request Letter – Exhibit C). The NBG-NR subdistrict permits a maximum FAR of 2:1 and up to 60 feet in building height with the development bonus (Please see Figure 4-1 NR: NBG Zoning District General Site Development Standards – Exhibit D).
