City of Austin Planning Commission Continued Hearing on Rezoning Application 7113 Burnet Road, Item 2 - June 8, 2021 Comments by Janis Reinken Mr. Chairman and Members of the Commission, I am Janis Reinken, a resident of District 7 in Allandale; I serve on the Allandale Neighborhood Association Board. Today, I represent myself, and I urge you to vote NO on this MF-6 request, and adopt the recommendation of your Senior Planner for MF-4. CSW Cart has requested a zoning change for 7113 Burnet Road from Commercial use to MF-6-NP. The Senior Planner has recommended approval of MF-4-NP, which would grant authority for multifamily residential use with moderately high density, in conjunction with the Crestview neighborhood plan. The 60-foot maximum height of a MF-4 structure matches the current Commercial zoning allowance of 60- foot height for this property. Here’s why I concur with the Senior Planner’s recommendation of MF-4-NP. The Burnet Road area has several apartment complexes: The Marq; 6444 Burnet Road; many apartments and condos on Northcross Drive and Foster Lane west of Burnet; and a large complex under construction on Anderson Lane west of Wal-Mart. And just so you know, the price of a 1/1 at the Marq is going for over $1600/mo; a 2/2 costs more than $2200/mo. There is also a huge apartment complex east of Burnet on Koenig, The Pearl. Your decision will have broader impact than just the future development of this particular tract. With MF- 6 upzoning, this has the potential of setting in motion irreversible, adverse effects on three neighborhoods: Crestview, Allandale, and Brentwood. It seems that there is a push in the development community to upzone not just this property to MF-6, but other properties along Burnet Road between Koenig Lane and Anderson Lane. This would be the first domino. The height (whether 75 feet or up to 90 feet) would overshadow residential properties and commercial properties. It would be overwhelming for small business owners and for homeowners. If the City seeks to build communities, this upzoning over and above staff recommendations will do the opposite. This stretch of Burnet Road is the “main street” for these neighborhoods – it is where we do commerce with drycleaners, restaurants, phone and watch repair shops, insurance, healthcare, retail merchants, and more. It is served by CapMetro bus lines and Burnet Road traffic flow is moderate, as you can see from photos I submitted …

Lamar - District 5. City of Austin Planning Commission, Thank you for postponing this hearing, allowing us to meet with the applicant to discuss and clarify the major issues listed in our letter of opposition in May. I am here to report on the results of our meeting with the applicant last Friday. Last night the Executive Committee of the Zilker Neighborhood Association voted to continue ZNA’s support of the redevelopment of these parcels on South Lamar under the existing VMU zoning, and to support the extension of the VMU overlay to Tract 1 at 2700 S. Lamar if the owner requests it. This decision was based on information extracted from the applicant on Friday. The ZNA zoning committee has calculated that the existing zoning, with VMU extended to Tract 1, could result in 483 residential units on 86% impervious cover. With MF6 zoning, the owner proposes to build 480 units in 8 floors and 80% impervious cover. The increased entitlements of MF6 would actually allow 686 units, but this is probably reduced by compatibility setbacks for height. The concept plan presented by the owner would likely contain only 463 units, if one assumes that most of the ground floor would be taken up by parking. Subchapter E includes standards and incentives explicitly for the development of Vertical Mixed Use (VMU) buildings. Subchapter E, Article 4 states: "The mixed use provisions define the uses of land and the siting and character of the improvements …

We support Mr. Soto’s plan to provide a small Mexican restaurant on the ground floor next to Pedernales (especially since the property has historically had a mix of commercial and residential uses), along with several multi-family residential units above. Also, please do not impose a conditional use permit requirement on a restaurant use, since doing so would cause unnecessary expenses and delays by forcing Mr. Soto to go back to the …

PC June 8, 2021 Q & A Report Item B-13 (E) Commissioner Schneider Questions / Staff Response I’d like to get a better understanding of the redevelopment exception under SOS, since a significant portion of the site is in the Barton Springs Zone. Have there been previous cases in the Barton Springs zone where an applicant claimed a redevelopment exception? Yes – these are not unusual. What sort of detention, if any, was required for those sites? Please see below for the rest of these questions. How much impervious cover was allowed? On this project, what sort of detention ponds might be required? Is that determined, in part, but the number of units, the number of vehicle trips, or other requirements? The governing code is LDC 25-8-26. The questions above are answered in sections E and F which are copied below, with a few modifications to make it more understandable. For the complete text please see the link. 1) The redevelopment may not increase the existing amount of impervious cover on the site. 2) The redevelopment may not increase non-compliance, if any, with Critical Water Quality Zone Restrictions, Critical Environmental Features, Wetland Protection, or Section 25-8-482 Water Quality Transition Zone in the Barton Springs Zone. 3) The redevelopment must provide an Environmental Resource Inventory and comply with current code for all construction phase environmental requirements, including erosion and sedimentation controls. 4) The water quality controls on the redevelopment site must provide a level of water quality treatment that is equal to or greater than that which was previously provided. 5) For a commercial or multifamily redevelopment, the owner or operator must obtain a permit under Section 25-8-233 (Barton Springs Zone Operating Permit) for both sedimentation/filtration ponds and SOS ponds. [This is standard Barton Springs Zone operating permit, required for all sites in the BSZ.] 6) For a site with more than 40 percent net site area impervious cover, the redevelopment must have: a. sedimentation/filtration ponds for the entire site; or b. SOS ponds for a portion of the site, and sedimentation/filtration ponds for the remainder of the redeveloped site. 7) For a site with 40 percent or less net site area impervious cover, the redevelopment must have SOS ponds for the entire site. 8) The property owner must mitigate the effects of the redevelopment, if required by and in accordance with Subsection (H).

URBAN RENEWAL PLAN MODIFICATION # 12 Beginning in late 2018 the Urban Renewal Board of the City of Austin (URB) began working on updating the Urban Renewal Plan for the East 11th and12th Street Urban Renewal Area (URP) and associated Neighborhood Conservation Combining Districts (NCCDs). The purpose of their efforts was to update the URP and streamline the URP and NCCDs and to bring them into alignment. Attached is the proposed URP as recommended by the Urban Renewal Board at their January 19, 2021 and February 8, 2021 meetings. Major proposed changes include: • Replacing the existing definitions section which largely pertain to land uses with a Land Use section that mirrors the draft NCCDs. • Moving most of the existing “project controls” for 22 distinct areas in the URP to the NCCD documents to ensure that the site development standards are in one document. • Update the process to modify the URP to align with the rezoning process. • Reorganization of sections that are outdated and adding information about changes to the area since the URP’s adoption in 1999. The URP does adopt the subdistrict boundaries and site development standards of the East 11th and East 12th Street NCCD. For the East 11th Street NCCD, staff’s recommendation differs from the URB’s only outside of the boundaries of the URP. Therefore, staff suggests no changes to this recommendation.
