PLANNING COMMISSION SITE PLAN EXTENSION REVIEW SHEET SP-2014-0508C(XT2) CASE NUMBER: PROJECT NAME: ADDRESS OF SITE: 4800 E 51st St COUNCIL DISTRICT: 1 NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING AREA: Pecan Springs - Springdale WATERSHED: Fort Branch and Little Walnut Creek (Urban) JURISDICTION: Full Purpose Springdale Park Condominiums PC HEARING DATE: September 8, 2020 APPLICANT/ OWNER: WLH Communities – Texas, LLC (Michael Slack) 810 Hesters Crossing Rd Suite 235 Round Rock, TX 78681 LJA Engineering & Surveying, Inc 7500 Rialto Blvd. Suite 100 Austin, TX 78735 (512) 439-4700 (512) 974-2711 Renee.Johns@austintexas.gov AGENT: CASE MANAGER: Renee Johns PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is requesting a four year extension to a previously approved site plan for the construction of over a hundred detached condos. The application was previously approved to be completed in 5 phases, and through a site plan correction, the site plan was divided into a total of 234 phases. A site plan with this many phases is not typical, but allows for each unit to have its own phase so it can receive its own Certificate of Occupancy. Three of the phases consist of the public infrastructure: sidewalks, driveways, roads, fire lanes, parking, utilities, storm water improvements, detention, water quality improvements and the required offsite improvements. These three phases have been completed and accepted by the City of Austin and their acceptance letters are included in the backup documentation. Additionally, 88 detached condo units are also complete and there are 143 units/phases left to construct. SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval to extend this site plan permit by four years, from March 15, 2021 (new site plan expiration date due to COVID 19) to March 15, 2025 based on the case meeting criteria from LDC Section 25-5-62(C). The applicant has included a justification letter explaining details of this site (included in backup materials) and why the request is beyond the typical three year extension. Staff agrees that based on the construction completed thus far and the need to complete 143 units, that a four year extension is reasonable. 25-5-63(C) Extension of released site plan by the Land Use Commission: “the Land Use Commission may extend the expiration date of a released site plan beyond the date established by this chapter if the Land Use Commission determines that the request complies with the requirements for extension by the director under 25-5-62 (Extension of Released Site Plan by Director).” 25-5-62(C) The director may extend the expiration date …

B-11 of 27 BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for multifamily land use because it will add additional housing to the planning area and the city. Multifamily land use is appropriate for this location because there is multifamily land use to the north and east of the property. The proposed change would allow for additional residential units located near the North Lamar Boulevard Activity Corridor and the Crestview Station Town Center as identified on the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The Crestview Neighborhood Plan has objectives and recommendations that seek to protect existing single family uses and to also add housing types currently not available in the planning area for retirees and first time home buyers. The applicant’s proposal to build townhomes could help meet these goals. Land Use Objectives and Recommendations Land Use Objective 1: Preserve the character and affordability of the Crestview and Wooten Neighborhoods. Recommendations 1. Existing single-family residential areas should retain SF-3 zoning. Land Use Objective 5: Provide opportunities for the ultimate redevelopment of the Huntsman Petrochemical site to “complete” the neighborhood and create quality open space. Recommendations 1. Focus more intense commercial and mixed use development along Lamar Boulevard. a. Change the zoning for parcels fronting Lamar Boulevard to allow current uses to continue, but encourage redevelopment with more pedestrian-oriented mixed use. b. Prohibit or limit any additional development of incompatible industrial uses, such as basic industry and mining. c. Preserve the historic farmhouse located at 810 Banyon Street. 2. Encourage the development of residential uses on Morrow Street adjacent to the existing neighborhood. a. Morrow Street should be developed primarily with single family residential that complements the existing homes on the north side of the street. b. Other portions of the site …

PLANNING/ COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 25, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Planned to be scheduled for September 17, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: No issues were identified for this proposal. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: NPA A Neighborhood Plan Amendment was filed requesting that the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) be modified from single family to multi-family residence for the subject tract. A Virtual Neighborhood Meeting was webcast on July 9, 2020. (www.speakupaustin.org/npa) Neighborhood Planning supports modifying the FLUM from single family to multi-family. 1 of 10B-2 C14-2020-0047 2 DENSITY The applicant requests multi-family residence (limited density) – neighborhood plan (MF-1-NP) combining zone district to build 13 dwelling units on .74 acres (32,380 sq. ft.). The subject tract is on the north side of Morrow Street about 350 feet west of North Lamar Boulevard and about 700 feet east of Watson Street. The property is currently zoned family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) which allows a single family or duplex unit on a minimum of 5,750 square feet; about 7.6 units to the acre. The platted SF-3 zoned lots along the north side of Morrow Street were each about a half-acre (21,780 sq. ft.) or the equivalent of about 3.8 times the minimum lot size for the SF-3 zone district. Many of the SF-3 lots on Morrow Street and Taulbee Lane (one block north) are developed with two or more dwellings or have been subdivided to the same effect. The subject tracts addressed as 902 and 904 Morrow Street have about 160 feet of Morrow Street frontage and 200 feet of lot depth. The requested MF-1 zoning requires 8,000 square feet for a lot and permits up to 6 units per lot. The proposed development density is for 17 units per acre. The west property line and 1/3rd of the north property line of the subject parcel are contiguous with SF-3-NP zoned land. 2/3rds of the north and all of the east property line of the …

It was rezoned to ERC with the East Riverside Neighborhood Plan Rezoning Case in 2006 and is surrounded by other properties within the ERC. That rezoning case included a public Restrictive Covenant (RC Recording No. 2007039123) which was later amended in 2011 (RC Recording No. 2011186530), please see Exhibit B: Original Restrictive Covenants.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 28, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be determined ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-051 of 10 C14-2020-0062 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located between Webberville Road and Tannehill Lane, approximately 500 feet north of Samuel Huston Avenue. The property is zoned SF-3-NP and is undeveloped. Immediately to the south is land zoned MF-3-NP and SF-3-NP. Both areas are developed with single family residential land uses. Immediately to the north is SF-3-NP that is developed with religious assembly land use. Across Webberville Road to the west is primarily property zoned SF-3-NP that is developed with single family land uses—the area also includes small areas of SF-4A-NP and SF-6-NP with higher density residential uses. Across Tannehill Lane to the east is property zoned MF-2-CO-NP that is developed with religious assembly land use. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. A land use-only site plan (an “A” site plan) was filed for this site in 2006 to develop the site under the residential infill standards that were approved under the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan (EMLKNP) and is under City review for extension. Development under these regulations requires that at least 40% of any residential units be located on fee-simple single family lots; cottage lots may not be more than 20% of total single-family units. The infill tool has minimum requirements of 10% townhouse and multifamily as well. Maximums are also established for these categories and others. If the site is developed under this program, an engineered site plan (a “B” site plan) will be required, as well as subdivision of the single family lots, public roads, and other infrastructure. Please see Exhibit C- Residential Infill Requirements. Staff supports the requested SF-6-NP. The property has significant topographic constraints, with elevations ranging from 520 feet to 560 feet. The current SF-3-NP zoning and this topography makes it difficult to develop with consistently and reasonably sized buildable lots. Under SF-3-NP zoning, development …

Adjacent to the north is a tract zoned CS-V, to the east is South 1st Street and across South 1st Street are tracts zoned MF-3-NP and LR-CO-NP. Adjacent to the south is a tract zoned MF-3 and to the west is SF-3 zoning. This property is subject to an existing Ordinance (20070405-043) which limits the number of trips per day, caps development on the property to 40 feet and prohibits a set of uses. The applicant is requesting to remove the trip limitations and building height restriction but carry over the existing list of prohibited uses. Those uses include the following: Adult-oriented businesses Automotive rentals Automotive repair services Automotive sales Automotive washing (of any kind) BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Bail bond services Commercial blood plasma center Convenience storage Pawn shop services Vehicle storage 1. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The applicant is requesting to rezone from CS-CO to CS-MU-V-CO. This property is in between CS-V and MF-3 zoned tracts. Allowing for a mix of uses on this site would help in transition between zoning districts.

(John Coil) TO: CS-NP AGENT: Land Answers, Inc. (Jim Wittliff) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant general commercial services – neighborhood plan (CS- NP) combining district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 25, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Planned to be scheduled for September 17, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is a portion of a lot located on the northbound IH 35 frontage road just north of its intersection with US Highway 183, and contains a vacant commercial building. The western two-thirds of the property is zoned CH-CO-NP through a 1989 rezoning case; the Conditional Overlay limits development to administrative and business office uses, and building additions to a maximum of 35,000 square feet. The remainder of the property is zoned general commercial services – neighborhood plan (CS-NP). Immediately north of the property are TXDoT Austin District offices and a large maintenance facility. East of the tract is recently cleared land and Travis County Appraisal District offices (CS-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A and A-1 (Zoning Map) and (Aerial Exhibit). The Applicant is proposing to rezone the property to the CS-NP district to provide a consistent set of uses and regulations on the property and redevelop with retail sales uses. 1 of 10B-8 C14-2020-0072 Page 2 BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The general commercial services (CS) district is intended predominantly for commercial and industrial activities of a service nature having operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments. The CS district is best suited for uses located at intersections of arterial roadways or arterials with collector status. The intention is to promote safe and efficient use of transportation facilities. The neighborhood plan (NP) district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. 2. Staff recommends CS-NP zoning for the property based on the following considerations: 1) access is taken to a major arterial roadway and 2) compatibility with the existing zoning pattern …
PLANNING COMMISSION SITE PLAN VARIANCE REQUEST REVIEW SHEET CASE NUMBER: SP-2019-0171C PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING DATE : 8/25/20 (512) 399-5365 (512) 637-7518 Phone: (512) 974-2711 Renee.Johns@austintexas.gov Goodwill Central Texas 1015 Norwood Park BLVD Austin, TX 78753 Dunaway | UDG 5707 Southwest Parkway, Bldg 2, Ste. 250 Austin, TX 78735 PROJECT NAME: Goodwill Store ADDRESS OF APPLICATION: 2411 Lake Austin Blvd. APPLICANT: AGENT: CASE MANAGER: Renee Johns PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is proposing to construct a Goodwill store that will be a general retail sales (convenience) use at 2411 Lake Austin Blvd. Associated improvements include underground parking, utilities and other associated improvements. DESCRIPTION OF VARIANCE: The applicant is requesting a variance from § 25-2-744(E) Waterfront Overlay University/Deep Eddy Subdistrict Regulations, which limits the impervious coverage of a site area not included in a primary or secondary waterfront overlay setback to 40% impervious coverage. The existing development is currently at 89% impervious coverage, and the proposed development would not increase the current impervious coverage on site. The Waterfront Overlay variance process requires the applicant to obtain recommendations from both the Small Area Planning Joint Committee and the Environmental Commission, before the Land Use Commission. These hearings have been scheduled for August 24th and August 19th respectively. 25-2-713- 25-2-721 SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the variance and the site plan as proposed. Before recommending the project for a variance, staff considered whether “the variance is the minimum required by the peculiarities of the tract” [LDC Section 25-2-713(B)(2)]. The peculiarities of the site include: • The site is a smaller infill site, less than .4 acres • Overall site area reduced further during site plan review process by ROW dedication requirements along Lake Austin Blvd. which reduced buildable area to .37 acres • The site is also limited by compatibility requirements triggered by the SF-3 zoning district located less than 50 feet to the west that limit the maximum height on site. The applicant has worked with staff and the proposed development currently exceeds drainage/water quality requirements by capturing offsite drainage, incorporates rain gardens on 1 of 6B-9 site, no surface parking, and provides end of trip facilities (showers, lockers, etc.). Additionally, the new development will remove a brownfield site in the Waterfront Overlay. TOWN LAKE CORRIDOR STUDY: Staff considered the Town Lake Corridor Study and the effect of this project. Staff determined there is no adverse impact of this project to the …
