From: To: Subject: Date: Chip Harris Meredith, Maureen; Graham, Mark; Mike Lavigne Re: Crestview NPCT Rec? - 901 & 907 Stobaugh St Monday, July 26, 2021 2:35:41 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Maureen, After a lengthy and thorough discussion and debate at the CNPCT meeting about the proposed NPA and zoning change for 901 & 907 Stobaugh, the following motion was made and approved, and it will serve as the CNPCT's recommendation: The CNPCT supports sustainable densification of 901 & 907 Stobaugh similar to other nearby properties that have resubdivided but maintained their SF-3 zoning as recommended in the Neighborhood Plan approved by the City Council. The CNPCT opposes the proposed plan amendment to change the property designation from single-family to multi-family and opposes the proposed zoning change from SF-3 to MF-4 or any MF category. While supporting increased density, many of the meeting participants cited multiple issues that led to their support of the motion, including the magnitude of the change and its effect on a narrow street populated with single-family homes. Additional issues stated included increased traffic, additional street parking impacting the safety of cyclists, pedestrians (many of whom are elderly or children), infrastructure capacity of the city, noise and neighborhood character. Thank you for conveying this recommendation by the CNPCT to the Planning Commission.

Citizen Stakeholder Comments on items #2 and #3 on Planning Commission Agenda for July 27, 2021 For All City of Austin Planning Commissioners Case NPA-2021-0026.01 Zoning Case C14-2021-0039 AGAINST July 26, 2021 Emailed to : andrew.rivera@austintexas.gov, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov, maureen.meredith@austintexas.gov Greetings Planning Commissioners: Thank you for listening to my voice on behalf of our community. I appreciate your efforts to provide service with integrity and thoughtful consideration on behalf of all of us in Austin . I agree with Ms. Lovera’s written statements I read in the case file about the damage it can do if you approve and recommend the applicant’s proposed zoning changes. Her words and concepts are right on target. The parcels under consideration as tract 1 and 2 are already zoned appropriately on the Neighborhood Plan (NP) Future Land Use Map (FLUM) if the health and well-being of the neighborhood and their contribution to the city overall is any part of your consideration. I, and many others deeply invested in this community for the long term, spent two and a half years of our lives, our time, energy, and focus, working closely with City of Austin professional planning staff in crafting our neighborhood plan and FLUM. We did that because we believe the city of Austin’s story that our neighborhood has value for its residents, businesses, schools, institutions, and culture, and can achieve an intelligent, integrated, harmonious greater good for our community and thus contribute to the larger city through the self determination of our neighborhood plan. We missed our kids’ dance recitals, soccer games and spelling bees, etc. to do the intensive work to get it right. And we did get it right. Planning Commissioners recognized that, City Council recognized that, and between them made it an ordinance. In those two and a half years we examined every parcel, every possible zoning option, every corridor, and existing and possible uses in the context of the goals, objectives, and vision for the planning area as it fits in the larger city. The FLUM zoning on each parcel is connected and integrated with those goals and objectives to serve the overall whole vision of this becoming and remaining a thriving healthy part of north Austin. I see from the staff backup report that staff cherry-picked bits and pieces of the NP narrative, took those out of their true context, and twisted them around in trying to find a way …
07/23/2021 Dear Chair Shaw and Planning Commission members, We write this letter in support of the applicant’s request for rezoning 1901 North Lamar. Unfortunately, this case began with a filing for CS zoning with no conditions and no initial discussion with the neighborhood association. For that reason, you will likely see a progression of letters- from strong opposition, to this letter of support. Since the initial filing, there have been a total of four neighborhood meetings on this case, two of which included the agent. After weeks of discussion and compromise, The Original West University Neighborhood Association (OWUNA) membership voted on 6/15/21 unanimously to support this application. Although we concur with staff that traditional CS zoning is incompatible with this specific section of Lamar Blvd., we feel that all the restrictions on uses, impervious cover, height, and FAR, support that position. With our current Land Development Code, CS proved to be an awkward tool, but ultimately provided for a project that, we believe, is compatible with the unique area and topography. The process was not easy, and both sides worked incredibly hard to come up with the current proposal. We believe the certainty and compatibility provided by this project is of benefit to the neighborhood and we enthusiastically hope for your approval of the zoning necessary to support it. Every restriction was integral to our support, and it is our hope that they are included in any final zoning decision. The final terms are included in this email, along with a letter from CANPAC, the official contact team, recognizing OWUNA as the neighborhood association for the geographic area including this parcel. 1 2 No vehicular access from the site to Lamar and access to the site shall be from adjacent CONDITIONAL OVERLAY Existing CO items to be maintained: street or through adjacent site Maximum building height is 30feet Maximum building height is two stories New CO items to be added: F.A.R. is limited to 1.35:1 Impervious Cover is limited to 85% Drive-in service use is prohibited as an accessory use to commercial uses PUBLIC RESTRICTIVE COVENANT- Case No. C14-2011-0100 All elements, including added protections for the heritage oak, are to remain in place.

Request to Sustain the Environmental Commission’s decision on the removal of a Cottonwood tree (allow removal) 20” Tree Located in the Right of Way on Crown Ct, Austin TX 1 INTENDED PURPOSE: • To communicate and demonstrate the serious issues that this tree causes to the City and adjacent property owners of Crown Ct. • To demonstrate that removal of this tree is necessary and warranted. • To seek a sustainment of the Environmental Commission’s modified opinion on the removal of this 20” Cottonwood tree. 2 20” 3 Background Information on Cottonwood Trees • It is well documented that cottonwood trees are problematic trees that are not well suited for urban environments. • Their roots are known to damage pipes and other infrastructure. • Their “cotton fuzz” seeds are a serious fire hazard and nuisance for municipalities and property owners. • Hundreds, if not thousands, of municipalities in the US have banned these trees for the above reasons. 4 “The Dirt Doctor” Article on Cottonwood Trees: • The author, Howard Garret is: • Nationally syndicated Organic Gardening talk show host • Arborist and specialist in natural organic tree care • Columnist for the Dallas Morning News • Author of 15 books on organic gardening, landscaping and pest control • Chairman of Texas Organic Research Center (TORC) • Organic Advisory Board Texas Department of Agriculture • https://www.dirtdoctor.com/garden/Cottonwood_vq924.htm 5 The Dirt Doctor – Cottonwood Trees • FINAL SPACING: Do not plant • IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION: Cottonwood is a very fast growing, upright messy tree. It sends out cotton all over the place in the spring, has brittle wood and it has large limbs. Its root system is extremely shallow, ravenous and destructive. It normally will have quite a bit of dead wood in the tree. • PROBLEMS: Cottonwood is short lived, has a destructive root system and the cottony seed from the female plant is a nuisance and damaging to electrical appliances. Stressed trees are commonly attacked by borers. The root system is susceptible to cotton root rot and other root diseases. This is a dangerous tree because large limbs or the entire tree can fall on cars, structures and even people. This is one tree that should be removed from most residential property. 6 Southern Living Article on Cottonwoods: • 6 Trees You Should Never, Ever Plant • Terrible Tree #4 -- Eastern Cottonwood (Populus deltoides) • What's wrong with it: Extremely …

The SCNPCT held its regular monthly meeting on Monday, July 12, 2021, and met with representatives from the Rundberg area, who are part of the Eastern Crescent, to discuss the proposed FLUM and zoning changes pertaining to the properties located at 10609, 16011, 10613, 10615 Brownie Drive and 10610, 10612, 10614 Middle Fiskville Road: 1) Neighborhood Plan Amendment to change the land use designation on the FLUM from single family and neighborhood commercial to mixed use; and 2) Rezoning from SF-3-NP and LR-NP to MF-4-NP and CS-MU-NP. The SCNPCT took into consideration the information provided by the Rundberg area representatives. With a quorum present and based on the information provided and comparing shared concerns of the residents within the Eastern Crescent, the SCNPCT membership voted unanimously not to support the proposed changes to the land use designation on the FLUM from single family and neighborhood commercial to mixed use land use and rezoning from SF-3-NP and LR-NP to MF-4-NP and CS-MU-NP. The SCNPCT voted to support the Rundberg area residents and join their efforts. The shared historical concerns of the Eastern Crescent communities include the continued and unprecedented gentrification and displacement of low income and people of color residents. The impact will include increased property values, which will result in increased property taxes for homeowners or increased rental fees for current residents. This basically guarantees an accelerated displacement of this vulnerable community. Additionally, families and children with long-term established neighborhood ties, including ties with neighborhood schools, current community resources and support systems will be pushed out. This results in destabilizing those relationships and adds cruel stressors as these same displaced residents will have to work on creating new support systems in whatever areas outside of the City of Austin they manage to find are affordable to them. There is no demonstrated neighborhood benefit to the current residents in this portion …

Area code (210). • Citizen’s Communication (Non-Agenda Item): Capital Metro Title VI Policy adoption history (2013-2021). Against Agenda Item: 7. Rezoning: C14-2021-0017 - 5708 Springdale Rd; District 1. “The Staff recommendation is to grant community commercial – mixed use – neighborhood plan (GR- MU-NP) combining district zoning.” Marcia Bruscato Poss' Letter to Council notes, in part, The Reserve at Springdale, 292 units (pp. 13, 25)—a "$43M investment," David Knoll noted November 1, 2017 (below). • Context: November 1, 2017 Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority ("Capital Metro") Connections 2025 Public Hearings (Noon, 5:30PM).

"On the mixed-use and encouraging mixed-use (uhm) along the corridor (I guess the 51st Street corridor), uh-well, we've made with the Housing Authority, a $43 million investment in this community based on the bus route and to, hopefully, activate for the neighborhood and for (uh), in coordination with City Council. . . . So we're right here at Rogge Lane and Springdale. (uh) I would say that the investment we've made there is greater than any investment of the residential-owning developers along this whole 2-mile course from Berkman all the way down to 51st. And I would say we're a start; we're not all of it, a spark for more but certainly removing the bus will kill any multi-use there or mixed-use there (uh) that we start to encourage with the live-work units at Springdale, the café and then also orienting the development to the street."

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2021-0047 – Moore’s Crossing Farmhouse, Tract 3 DISTRICT: 2 ZONING FROM: SF-2 ZONING TO: MF-4 ADDRESS: 7508 McAngus Road SITE AREA: 26.99 acres PROPERTY OWNER: SR Development, Inc. AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Bill Gurasich) (Alice Glasco) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant multifamily residence – moderate-high density – conditional overlay (MF-4-CO) combining district zoning. The Conditional Overlay is for a maximum of 212 units.

CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject unplatted property is undeveloped, has access to the unbuilt Ross Road right-of- way and to McAngus Road, and is zoned single family residence – standard lot (SF-2) district. There is undeveloped land with a site plan application in process for 240 multifamily residences and parkland dedicated by the Moore’s Crossing MUD to the City to the north (MF-3; SF-2; P); two undeveloped tracts proposed for multifamily residences and B-011 of 12 C14-2021-0047 Page 2 MF-4 zoning, and parkland across the unbuilt Ross Road right-of-way to the east (SF-4A; P); undeveloped land and the Circuit of the Americas facility to the south (County; PUD); and the Dry Creek East floodplain and single family residences in the Stoney Ridge Section 5-B subdivision to the west (P; SF-2). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial View). The Applicant proposes to rezone the property to the multifamily residence – moderate-high density (MF-4) for the construction of up to 212 units on the property. The Applicant’s intent is to extend Ross Road to both Tracts, and utilize the MF-4 development standards to maximize the number of units that can be built (up to 54 units per acre which can be achieved through a reduced minimum site area for each dwelling unit and a 60 foot height limit). In 1988, the property was zoned SF-2 with many other tracts that comprise the Moore’s Crossing MUD. SF-2 zoning precedes adoption of the Airport Overlay ordinance …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The property is located on the south side of Stobaugh Street approximately 400 feet west of the main traffic lanes (~300 feet from frontage road) of North Lamar Blvd, which is identified as an activity corridor on the Imagine Austin Growth Concept map where increased density is supported. The existing land use is Single family and the proposed land use is Multifamily. Mixed Use land use is on adjacent property to the north and east side of the subject tract. Single family and multifamily land use is on adjacent property to the south and single family land is on adjacent property to the west. The applicant’s request for Multifamily land use will provide a buffer between the auto body shop commercial use directly to the east of the property and the single family uses to the west. The property is near public transit facilities and within walking distance to commercial uses. Adding additional dwelling units in this location is appropriate. The Crestview Neighborhood Plan document recommends that existing single family areas retain the SF-3 zoning, however, given the need for housing in Austin, transitioning these two lots to multifamily will provide an opportunity to increase housing options in the planning area and the city. 2 2 of 53B-6 Planning Commission: July 13, 2021 Subject tracts location near Project Connect proposed light rail Orange and Blue lines LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS EXISTING LAND USE ON THE PROPERTY Single family - Detached or two family residential uses at typical …
