Planning Commission Q & A Report B-1 - B -4 Chair Shaw / Staff • Does the applicant have proposed concept drawings for the properties? It has been a year since the public meeting when applicant stated they had none. There are no conceptual plans. It is my understanding that the owners plan to sell the properties but don’t have a buyer in mind. • The main church building was designed by John S. Chase, the first African American to graduate from the University of Texas at Austin in Architecture. Preservation of this building was a major topic of discussion in the community meeting. What is the opinion of the Historic Preservation Office as to the historic significance of this church and what is the process for its preservation given the change in ownership? David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church qualifies as a city historic landmark under the criteria for architectural distinction and historical significance. It was designed by John S. Chase, the first African-American licensed architect in the State of Texas, and is a masterpiece of mid- century Modern church architecture. The David Chapel congregation also has historical significance; the first home of the congregation, at 14th Street and Chestnut Avenue (now St. Paul Primitive Baptist Church) is a historic landmark. Recent state law (House Bill 2496) requires that a building owned by a religious organization may only be designated as a historic landmark if the religious organization consents to the designation. • Micah King stated on behalf of the applicant, “They want to be respectful of the single family uses surrounding the property and to also respect the history.” How does applicant intent to meet this commitment? Pending • In 11-30-2020 Letter from Chestnut Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (From-David Carroll, Vice Chair), contact team supports CS-MU-V-NP for Tracts 1, 2 and 3 and they stated that they came to an agreement with applicant to rezone Tract 4 to GR-V-MU- CO-NP. However, GR-V-MU-CO-NP is not what is shown as applicant’s request in the backup. Does applicant agree to GR-V-MU-CO-NP instead of CS-MU-V-NP for Tract 4? The applicant agrees to GR-MU-V-CO-NP for Tract 4. Staff, however, is recommending LO-MU-CO-NP. Chair Shaw / Staff B-7 Chair Shaw / Staff B-17 See attachment. The Central West Austin Neighborhood Plan Contact Team opposed the NPA change. Are they speaking to their opposition that we should move this item for discuss on the agenda? No …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The request to change the land use on the future land use map from Single Family to Neighborhood Mixed Use is not compatible with the Goals, Objectives, and Recommendations of the neighborhood plan because the request is commercial encroachment into an established residential area, which the plan does not support. The property is located at the end of a cul-de-sac in an established residential area. Converting the single family home to an office use would be encroachment into a residential neighborhood.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0115 (Midtown Flats) DISTRICT: 7 ZONING FROM: NBG-CI-NP TO: NBG-WMU-NP ADDRESS: 2136 Rutland Drive and 10139 Metropolitan Drive SITE AREA: 3.386 acres (147,494 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: SL5 ATX Industrial, LP AGENT: City of Austin - Housing and Planning Department (Sherri Sirwaitis) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends NBG-WMU-NP, North Burnet/Gateway-Warehouse Mixed-Use- Neighborhood Plan Combining District, zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 24, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: December 10, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 28B-9 C14-2020-0115 2 ISSUES: This is a City initiated case per Resolution No. 20200409-031. Please see Exhibit C. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is zoned NBG-CI-NP and is developed with two industrial warehouse buildings known as the Rutland Business Center that contain office, commercial and industrial uses. The lots to the north, south and east are also zoned NBG-CI-NP and are developed with industrial warehouse structures. The lots to the west, across Metropolitan Drive, are zoned NBG-WMU-NP and are developed with industrial warehouses that are used for storage and distribution (Rutland Distribution Center). Please see Exhibit D - Figure 1-2: North Burnet/Gateway (NBG) Zoning District Subdistrict Map. The owner is requesting NBG-WMU-NP, North Burnet/Gateway-Warehouse Mixed-Use-Neighborhood Plan Combining District, zoning to redevelop the site under consideration with office-mixed use. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. North Burnet/Gateway (NBG) district is the designation for an identified area of existing low density, auto-oriented commercial, warehouse, and industrial uses that is the subject of an approved master plan for redevelopment of the area into a higher density urban mixed-use neighborhood that is more pedestrian friendly and takes advantage of the links to commuter rail transit and the area's key position in the urban core. Warehouse Mixed-Use accommodates existing and new industrial warehouse uses and enables development of residential and local retail uses. Neighborhood Plan district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted neighborhood Plan. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The staff recommends the proposed NBG-WMU-NP zoning because the WMU subdistrict will permit the redevelopment of the property with a mixture of uses, including residential units. The proposed zoning is consistent with NBG-WMU-NP zoning to the west of this property, across Metropolitan Drive. The change in zoning will have has no impact on building height or density permitted, as …

ACTION: PHONE: 974-6454 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: December 10, 2020 ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Hyde Park Neighborhood Association BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: While City Code does not allow a contributing building within a local historic district to be designated as a historic landmark for its architectural significance, the former Baker School is worthy of an architectural description as it reflects the work of three of the most prominent architects in Austin in the early- to mid-20th century. Built in 1911, the building is a raised two-story institutional building with a raised full basement. The building is constructed of Austin Common buff brick with poured concrete accents. The building has bands of five 2:2 1 of 27 A.2 - 2 windows with transoms in the principal block (these, while believed to be of historic age, are not original); the raised basement level also features bands of five 2:2 windows, but without transoms.

ACTION: PHONE: 974-6454 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: December 10, 2020 ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: South River City Citizens Association BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: The E.A. Murchison House is a one-and-a-half story, irregular plan, stone-clad Tudor Revival house designed by Houston architect H.L. Murchison for his parents, E.A. and Emma Murchison. The house is a relatively large example of Tudor Revival domestic architecture, occupying a large lot for an estate setting. It exhibits the hallmarks of the Tudor Revival style, including the random ashlar stone exterior, false half-timbering in the tympanae of the prominent gables, turned brackets, an asymmetrical composition, and a stone exterior chimney with clay chimney pots. The limestone on the house reputedly was salvaged when the Whitis Mansion on W. 27th 1 of 31B-11 A.4 - 2 Street was razed for the construction of the Scottish Rite Dormitory. The house has a primarily side-gabled roof with two prominent front-facing gables on either side of a central block, which contains a shed-roofed dormer. Fenestration in the house consists of 6:6 wood-frame windows in single, double, and triple configurations. There have been some additions and modifications to the house, all of which are in keeping with the original Tudor Revival style and articulation of the house, including the construction of a carport (1982), a pool and pool and …

ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: December 10, 2020 ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: The Mutual Building is one of the finest examples of Art Deco design in downtown Austin. It is a two-story rectangular-plan building with a white cream limestone façade articulated with many facets of the Art Deco style, including carved stone floral motifs, a band of waves, and a recessed entry flanked by a tall, narrow window on either side. PHONE: 974-6454 The Art Deco movement sprang from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Insustriels Modernes in Paris, France in 1925, and is characterized by simple shapes and geometric or stylized ornamentation, drawing inspiration from nature, Native American, Egyptian, and classical motifs. Art Deco was meant to incorporate art into architecture (and all of the other milieux of Art Deco expression, including furniture, home goods, lighting fixtures, jewelry, sculpture, statuary, and the visual arts), and to represent a sleek elegance that reflected modernism, wealth, and sophistication. New materials, such as stainless steel, bakelite, and other non-traditional building and decorative finishes found their way into Art 1 of 29B-12 Deco designs. The Art Deco façade of this building, designed by prominent local architect Hugo Kuehne in 1930, was for the new offices of a savings and home loan business, embodying the strength, stability, wealth, and refinement of the company during the troubled economic times of the Great Depression. The Art Deco façade of the building originally had a large, square, glass block bay on the second floor; the glass blocks were replaced with a bay window in 1981; an additional modification …
