Congress, I wanted to let you know that I am very much opposed to the exemption for case # SP-2019-0600C. If you allow the park land access exemption in this case, you will be setting a horrible precedent. Allowing this exemption tells all future developers that they can promise whatever they need to in order to get approval for a permit to build. And they know that they won’t be held accountable and will only have to pay a fine to essentially do whatever they wanted to do in the first place. This is simply not acceptable, so please vote NO! on this exemption. Thank you for your time.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 7 TO: MI-PDA* CASE: C14-2020-0154 (Domain Retail District 1, Block Z) ZONING FROM: MI-PDA *Nature of the Request: In this rezoning request, the applicant is asking for an amendment to the conditions the Planned Development Area (PDA) overlay in Ordinance No. 20150611- 033 to permit the Pet Services use within this area of the Domain/MI-PDA. ADDRESS: 11700 Rock Rose Avenue, 3200-3250 Palm Way, 11701 ½, 11703 ½, 11711, 11711 ½, 11811, 11811 ½ Domain Drive SITE AREA: 7.19 acres (313,196.4 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Domain Northside Retail Property Owner L.P. AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Walter W. Cardwell, IV) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MI-PDA, Major Industrial-Planned Development Area Combining District, zoning. The PDA amendment will permit the Pet Services use within this area of PDA. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 26, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-3 C14-2020-0154 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question (The Domain-Northside site) is currently developed with a mixture of high density residential, office and commercial uses. In this rezoning request, the applicant is asking for an amendment to the conditions the Planned Development Area (PDA) overlay in Ordinance No. 20150611-033 to permit the Pet Services use within this area of the Domain/MI-PDA. The staff recommends the applicant’s request to amend the Planned Development Area overlay to permit an additional use in this area of the Domain development. The staff recommendation would allow for a dog grooming business (Pet Services use) within this 7+ acre area located in the northeastern portion of the Domain development. The staff believes the proposed amendment is consistent with the uses permitted within the Domain. Therefore, the PDA amendment will not alter the intent of the approved MI-PDA designation for this site. The proposed MI-PDA zoning will allow for a mixture of high-density residential uses, office uses, commercial uses, and industrial uses to be developed on the property in question. The location of the site is appropriate for the proposed mixture and intensity of uses because the site is located between three major roadways, MOPAC Expressway North, Burnet Road, and Braker Lane. The property in question is within the North Burnet/Gateway Combined Neighborhood Planning Area and is adjacent to the North Burnet/Gateway Transit Oriented Development District (TOD).

Please see Exhibit C. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 33+ acre tract of land that fronts onto Kramer Lane and is located within the North Burnet/Gateway Combined Neighborhood Planning Area. The site is currently zoned NBG-TOD-NP, North Burnet/Gateway-Transit Oriented Development- Neighborhood Plan Combining District. The Austin City Council passed a resolution on October 29, 2020 to initiate an amendment to the North Burnet/Gateway Regulating Plan to remove the property and to rezone it to the P, Public District, to permit the development of an electric substation at this location. The site under consideration is currently developed with outdoor storage and warehouses that are used as a maintenance and service facility for City of Austin Fleet Services. The property to the north is developed with an office complex (Charles Schwab) with outdoor recreation (tennis courts, baseball field and soccer field). To the south and east there are office/warehouse uses. The rail line runs along the western border of the property and the existing Kramer Metro Rail Station is located at the southeast corner of Kramer Lane and Brockton Drive. Across the rail line to the west there is a hotel/motel use (Home 2 Suites by Hilton) fronting Burnet Road and an indoor sports and recreation/restaurant use (Top Golf) as well as office and warehouse uses.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: PC DATE: November 16, 2020 December 14, 2020 January 26, 2021 CASE NUMBER: C14H-2021-0006 (Formerly HDP-2020-0440) APPLICANT: Historic Landmark Commission HISTORIC NAME: Delta Kappa Gamma Building WATERSHED: Shoal Creek ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 416 W. 12th Street Council District: 9 ZONING FROM: GO to DMU-H-CO SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed zoning change from general office (GO) district to downtown mixed use – Historic Landmark (DMU-H) combining district zoning. While staff appreciates the property owners’ dilemma in what they now view as a financial and maintenance burden, the building has demonstrated significance as reflected by its individual inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. National Register designation in and of itself does not prevent modification or even demolition of the building, but in the City of Austin, National Register designation does automatically qualify a building as eligible for landmark designation, which does place a barrier on demolition. Staff cannot recommend that a building individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places should be demolished, and must recommend landmark designation for the building to determine if the Commission or the Planning Commission, and ultimately the City Council votes to grant the building historic zoning. Given the architecture and history of this building, staff would recommend landmark designation even if the building were not listed on the National Register. In the meantime, staff recommends that the applicant for the demolition permit continue to develop proposals to incorporate the building into new development plans for the site, which staff acknowledges may preclude the construction of a high-rise building on this site. In staff’s evaluation, preserving portions of the exterior finishes of the building into an interior space of the proposed new building is not sufficiently respectful of the integrity, design, and significance of the existing building. Continuing conversations about the relationship of historic and new may result in a proposal that is much more palatable to both the owners of the building and the interests of preserving buildings that have demonstrated historical significance. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: November 16, 2020: Initiated historic zoning. Vote: 9-0-2 (Papavasiliou and Jacob off-dais). December 14, 2020: Recommended historic zoning (Tollett/Koch). Vote: 9-0-1 (Papavasiliou absent; Featherston abstaining). PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: 1 of 32B-7 DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The building was listed on the National Register …

Staff recommends the project because it would be compatible with residential housing adjacency; provide owner occupied infill housing; and is supported by housing policies and text found in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan, the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan, and the Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint. Below are excerpts from the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan that supports infill housing and small-lot single family housing in this portion of the planning area. Goal 1: Preserve established residential areas and improve opportunities for home ownership by promoting the rehabilitation of existing housing and new, infill housing compatible with the existing style of this neighborhood. (pg. 44). Objective 1.2: Promote new infill housing in appropriate locations. Goal 5: Provide housing that helps to maintain the social and economic diversity of residents. (pg. 45) Below are additional policies and text that are excerpted from the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan that supports a change from Single Family to High Density Single Family on the Future Land Use Map: Fort Branch Recommendations: The greatest need in the Fort Branch area is continued development of quality residential infill.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 26, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: February 18, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 24B-9 C14-2020-0135.SH 2 ISSUES The proposed rezoning is for a 5.01 acre tract that was platted for 31 single family and duplex residential units in 2019. Please see Exhibit C- Approved Plat. The property changed hands in September 2020; the new owner is proposing 55 townhouse/condominium residential units. The applicant has provided a SMART Housing letter stating that 5 ownership units will be included at 80% of Median Family Income (MFI) for 99 years. Please see Exhibit D- SMART Housing Letter. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The rezoning tract is located northeast of the intersection of Lott Avenue and Mason Avenue in the MLK-183 area of the East MLK Combined Neighborhood Planning Area (NPA).
