Planning Commission: May 24, 2022 NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET DATE FILED: February 28, 2022 NEIGHORHOOD PLAN: Crestview/Wooten Combined (Crestview) CASE#: NPA-2022-0017.02 PROJECT NAME: 7301 Burnet Road PC DATE: May 24, 2022 ADDRESS/ES: 7301 Burnet Road DISTRICT AREA: 7 SITE AREA: 6.3220 acres OWNER/APPLICANT: 7301 Burnet Road, LLC AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Michael J.

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Mixed Use land use because Burnet Road is an established commercial corridor designated as an Activity Corridor on the Imagine Austin Growth Concept map where mixed use developments are encouraged. The Crestview/Wooten neighborhood plan supports mixed use developments on Anderson Lane and Burnet Road. Section of plan document that supports the applicant’s request. Land Use Objective 2: Encourage the development of neighborhood-serving commercial and mixed use on Anderson Lane and Burnet Road. Both Anderson Lane and Burnet Road are nearly fully developed as commercial corridors. The types of commercial uses vary widely, including numerous auto sale and service establishments and multi-tenant shopping centers. Care should be taken to ensure that redevelopment serves to strengthen these two retail corridors and maintain their utility as shopping districts. The neighborhood generally agrees that mixed-use development is acceptable on Anderson and Burnet. Adding the Neighborhood Mixed Use Building special use to commercial properties should help facilitate some redevelopment and make better use of the smaller commercial lots. Other mixed use options, including the MU overlay and the neighborhood urban center can be added to the large, deep commercial lots on Burnet Road south of Anderson. The existing zoning on the corridors is generally appropriate, but land area intensive. Auto-related uses should be limited to help maintain the retail viability of both corridors. Recommendations 1. Allow the Neighborhood Mixed Use Building special use on all non-freeway commercial corridors. larger than one acre). 2. Add the Mixed Use (MU) Combining District to larger commercial tracts (generally LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS EXISTING LAND …
City Manager Spencer Cronk The City of Austin Planning Commission To: From: Subject: Date: May 24, 2022 Re-transmittal of FYs 2021-2023 Long-Range Capital Improvement Program Planning (LRCP) Memo of Recommendations The Planning Commission is pleased to re-transmit the FYs 21-23 Long-Range Capital Improvement Program Planning (LRCP) Memo of Recommendations approved by Planning Commission in June 2021. Transmittal of the recommendations to the City Manager allows the Planning Commission to meet its requirement under the Charter to submit a list of capital improvements to the City Manager which implements the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan Joint Committee (CPJC) of Planning Commission and Zoning and Platting Commission participated in the development of the LRCP recommendations that were approved by Planning Commission June 22, 2021. In this off-cycle LRCP year of 2022, the CPJC approved the re-transmittal of the FYs 21-23 memo for consideration by the Planning Commission. LRCP is the process that examines CIP needs looking 10 years or more into the future. It is a lens for viewing CIP projects, which are typically granular in nature, within the scale of high-level policies identified in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan and Strategic Direction 2023. The LRCP is part of a larger Capital Improvement Program planning cycle, a multi-year, continuous process of planning, funding, and implementation of capital improvements, that also includes the Five-Year CIP Plan and the annual Capital Budget. To further the City’s long-term vision and aspiration of being one of the most unique, thriving, and livable cities in the country, the City Council chose to focus City operations and budgets around Strategic Direction 2023’s Outcomes: • Government that works for all: Believing that city government works effectively and collaboratively for all of us - that it is equitable, ethical and innovative. • Safety: Being safe in our home, at work, and in our community. • Economic Opportunity and Affordability: Having economic opportunities and resources that enable us to thrive in our community • Mobility: Getting us where we want to go, when we want to get there, safely and cost-effectively. • Health and Environment: Enjoying a sustainable environment and a healthy life, physically and • Culture and Lifelong-Learning: Being enriched by Austin's unique civic, cultural, ethnic, and learning mentally. opportunities. This LRCP cycle for FYs 21-23, the Memo of Recommendations is organized by the six Strategic Direction outcomes. Additionally, a new website has been developed to present the …
Joshua Ellinger – Data Scientist / Small Business Owner. The outcome of this process is a forgone conclusion, so I am asking staff to be accurate in the basis for its MF-4 recommendation. I would like the same from the Planning Commission. I am not a typical Austinite -- I favor higher density in the urban code. But let’s look to Europe, not Southern California Staff - The existing ‘basis’ is inaccurate 1. 2. 3. Density – Developers are proposing 135 per acre in a district designed for “maximum density of 36 to 54 units per acre, depending on unit size”. Transition – There is no transition. It goes from single family home to a three-story wall of concrete in under 50 feet. Intensive Development by Highways – Staff notes that MF-6 is not appropriate but claims MF-4 + AU is without justification. I believe Staff thinks MF-6 (like Concordia) is appropriate but doesn’t want to defend it. Let’s get real -- AU is a magic wand The real basis for the MF-4 recommendation is that: The Council want any zoning chances associated with Affordability Unlocked to be sent through without any review or consideration. MF-3 is most you could justify in this area under normal process. Question for the Developers You have said you can build without a zoning change or a FLUM amendment, but you don’t want to because of cost. How much would approximately would it cost? 10%? 20%? Zilker Studios puts 110 units on a 0.50 acre size so I find it hard to believe this driven by concern for the tenants. Question for Mr. Anderson Thank for supporting the delay. It was valuable. I would like talk later. You are all for making Austin walkable. I bike everywhere. Wouldn’t you prefer a tall residential tower? That would leave room for a walking path from 38th to 40th rather than making people walk to Red River or up the frontage road. Voting against the zoning change gets you that. (I have different concerns that prevent me from supporting this project in current form) What I want 1. The “College Houses” model to PSH housing. 2. A district plan instead piecemeal development. We are on the path to a CodeNext-like fiasco where nothing gets built. Instead, we should come together as a community, create a development we all can support, and use it as an example for …

Maureen May 22, 2022 CANPAC Statement regarding C14-2022-0019.SH and NPA- 2022-0019.01.SH, Cady Lofts We, CANPAC, support affordable housing on this site, and we appreciate the presentation of Option II that does not need a zoning or FLUM change. We are, also, in support of increased density on the LO zoned lots. Since at this point, the applicant has not acquired the property or had their tax credit application approved, permanent change to the zoning and the Neighborhood Plan (CACNP) seems premature. At this time, we ask that the Neighborhood Plan Amendment and the zoning change be postponed, so that they can be reconsidered once the applicant has acquired the property and had their project approved.

Our site plan is not fixed until we go through site plan review with the City, which we anticipate starting in the fall of this year. As far as comparable properties I know that New Hope would be happy to tour any interested neighbors around their existing projects in Houston.

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The property is 0.736-acre tract comprised three lots with single family homes on 1004 and 1006 E. 39th Street and a vacant lot on 1008 E. 39th Street. To the north and east of the property is Mixed Use/Office land use with Mixed Use along the frontage road. To the south is Single Family and Mixed Use land use. To the west is Single Family land use. The applicant proposes to change the land use on the property from Single Family and Mixed Use/Office to Multifamily Residential land use to build a 100-unit multifamily supportive affordable housing project. The project is S.M.A.R.T. Housing Certified. Staff supports the applicant’s request of Multifamily Residential land use because it steps down the land use intensity from the Mixed Use and Mixed Use/Office to the east that is closest to the IH-35 frontage road and the single family uses to the west of the property. The request will provide much-needed affordable housing to the planning area and the city to help meet the goals of the Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint. The property is near the proposed Project Connect Gold Line and approximately ½-mile south of Airport Blvd, an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor, and approximately ½-mile south of Hancock Shopping Center with an HEB grocery store and other services. The property has access to multiple Capital Metro bus routes that provides public transportation options for the future residents.

The single family residence – small lot (SF-4A) district is intended as an area for moderate density single-family residential use, with a minimum lot size of 3,600 square feet. In appropriate locations, small lot single-family use is permitted under standards that maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. The neighborhood plan (NP) district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. 2.

The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from NBG-NP (CMU Subdistrict) to NBG-NP (CMU-Gateway Zone Subdistrict) to redevelop the site with additional residential density (please see Applicant’s Request Letter-Exhibit C). The CMU subdistrict allows an FAR of 3:1 and a maximum building height of up to 180 feet, with development bonuses. Whereas, the CMU-Gateway Zone subdistrict allows for an FAR of 8:1 and a maximum building height of up of 308 feet, with development bonuses (please see North Burnet Gateway - CMU subdistrict General Site Development Standards-Exhibit D). Therefore, the proposed CMU-Gateway Zone subdistrict will allow for higher height and density development on this property adjacent to the new Austin FC Soccer Stadium. The staff is recommending the applicant’s request of North Burnet Gateway-Neighborhood Plan (CMU-Gateway Zone Subdistrict) zoning because the proposed zoning is compatible and consistent with the surrounding zoning and uses in this area. The gateway zones in the North Burnet Gateway Regulating Plan are in areas within close proximity to a transit. Gateway zones are connected to the designated Transit Corridors and allow for greater height and density due to the location to a rail station. The …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 TO: CS-MU-V-NP CASE: C14-2022-0009 Fifty First Street Residences ZONING FROM: CS-MU-CO-NP ADDRESS: 5525 East 51st Street SITE AREA: 4.0 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Therese M. Baer CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not support the requested rezoning to CS-MU-V-NP. AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Alice Glasco) For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 10, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 8B-8 C14-2022-0009 2 ISSUES: If rezoning is granted, Staff recommends that the existing conditional overlays on the property be retained. The following uses are currently prohibited on the property: Drive-in service as an accessory use to commercial uses, Automotive rentals, Automotive repair services, Automotive sales, Automotive washing (of any type), Service station, and Pawn shop services. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the south side of East 51st Street approximately 400 feet west of Ed Bluestein Boulevard. The 4-acre property is undeveloped and heavily vegetated. The CS-MU-CO-NP property included prohibited land uses, as outlined in the Issues section of this report. Immediately to the west and south of the property is a residential neighborhood zoned SF-4A-NP which triggers compatibility standards on the site. Immediately to the east of the property is property zoned CS-CO-NP is the newly constructed 183/51st Street Trailhead that provides bicycle and pedestrian access across 183/Ed Bluestein Boulevard. The trail connects on the east side of the highway adjacent to the East Communities YMCA and Walnut Creek Greenbelt. Also east and southeast of the rezoning tract are properties that front the southbound Ed Bluestein frontage road. These properties are zoned LI-CO-NP, CS-NP, and CS-CO-NP; these properties include Automotive repair, Undeveloped, and Public high school land uses, respectively. Across East 51st Street to the north is Little Walnut Creek Greenbelt, zoned P-NP, and a Hotel-motel property zoned GR-NP. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff does not support the request to rezone the property to CS-MU-V-NP. The closest bus service is one mile away at 51st and Springdale Road. Sidewalks in the area are fragmented between the property and the closest bus route. Commercial opportunities are very limited in the area, so development on this site will be largely automobile oriented. Under the current zoning the site could get a 20% parking reduction; with …
