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. There is a notation on the FLUM for this area that says: The proposed FLUM change to Multifamily Residential for an affordable housing project is …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET SITE AREA: 0.4968 acres (21,640 square feet) DISTRICT: 3 TO: SF-4A-NP CASE: C14-2022-0024 – Jaimes Development Project ZONING FROM: SF-2-NP ADDRESS: 202 Red Bird Lane PROPERTY OWNER: Joel M. Jaimes AGENT: Moreno Development Services (Candelario Moreno) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant single family residence – small lot – neighborhood plan (SF-4A-NP) combining district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 10, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 9, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject platted lot is located on Red Bird Lane approximately mid-point between South Congress Avenue to the east and Blue Bird Lane to the west. It contains a vacant single family residence and is zoned single family residence-standard lot – neighborhood plan (SF- 2-NP) combining district. There are single family residences, two-family residences and condominiums on Mockingbird Lane to the north (SF-4A-NP; SF-3-NP; SF-6-NP), residential uses to the east and west (SF-2-NP; SF-3-NP), and residential uses and non- conforming commercial uses across Red Bird Lane to the south (SF-2-NP; SF-3-NP; SF-6- NP). Commercial uses front South Congress Avenue further east (CS-MU-NP; CS-1-MU- NP; CS-MU-CO-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). 1 of 10B-4 C14-2022-0024 Page 2 The Applicant has requested single family residence-small lot – neighborhood plan (SF-4A- NP) district zoning in order to resubdivide the lot and build up to six single family residences. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. 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. Staff recommends SF-4A-NP zoning as it is compatible use and zoning with the surrounding residential portion of the Pleasant Hill Addition neighborhood which provides for a variety of housing types, and there are other SF-4A-NP zoned lots in the vicinity.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2022-0045 (10321 and 10401 Burnet Road) DISTRICT: 7 ADDRESS: 10321 and 10401 Burnet Road ZONING FROM: NBG-CMU-NP TO: NBG-CMU(Gateway Zone)-NP SITE AREA: Tract 1: 1.8388 acres Tract 2: 1.4974 acres 3.3362 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Thom Interests LLC (Tract 1) and G B T & D LTD (Tract 2) AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends NBG-CMU-NP, North Burnet/Gateway-Commercial Mixed Use- Gateway Zone-Neighborhood Plan, district zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 10, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 24B-5 C14-2022-0045 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is developed with construction sales and services and general retail sales uses (Lighting Inc., Austin Window Fashions, Affinity Design) that are zoned NBG- CMU-NP. The lots to the north are currently undeveloped and were rezoned to NBG- CMU(Gateway Zone)-NP through zoning case C14-2021-0101 (Verde Square) last year. To the east of this site is an outdoor entertainment use, with surface parking (Q2 Stadium), zoned LI-PDA-NP. Across Burnet Road to the west, there is a research and development use (University of Texas JJ Pickle Research Campus). The tract of land to the south fronting Burnet Road is developed with a multifamily use (Windsor Burnet). 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 …

The Applicant agrees to this condition. AGENT: Thrower Design (Ron Thrower) 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 12B-7 C14-2021-0179 2 ISSUES: The applicant is requesting CS-1-NP zoning for a tenant space in a shopping center at the southwest corner of Pleasant Valley Drive and East 7th Street. The applicant proposes Liquor sales use and has agreed to prohibit Cocktail lounge land use. Capital Metro operates a Child Care and Early Learning Center within the 300’ distance of the proposed liquor store and has expressed opposition to the rezoning. Development Services Department (DSD) has confirmed that Liquor sales land use may be permitted at this location in accordance with City of Austin and TABC regulations. (Please see Exhibit C- Correspondence). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for a 3,957 square foot tenant space in a shopping center at the southwest corner of Pleasant Valley Drive and East 7th Street. In the same building are a mix of uses, including Limited retail, Alternative financial services, and Medical office. In an adjacent building on the property is a HEB grocery store.

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 …

DESCRIPTION OF WAIVER: This item was a discussion item at the April 12th Planning Commission meeting, and the applicant has made adjustments to their proposed site plan based on the Planning Commission and community feedback. The applicant is requesting a waiver from § 25-2-1063. This site is subject to a 25’ compatibility setback and the proposed development is encroaching into the 25’ setback on the north and west property lines. Additionally, a portion of the site is subject to compatibility height limitations that start at 30’ (and 2 stories) and the two westernmost proposed units would exceed their 30’ limit at 36’ (and 3 stories). The west property line abuts an alley with an SF-3 property with a 5’ rear setback on the opposite side of the alley and the north property line abuts an SF-3 property with a 5’ interior side yard setback. After the previous meeting’s discussion, the applicant is now proposing to reorient their site with 5 units (36’ height and 3 stories) being setback 20’ from the west property line and 29’ from the north property line. The driveway approach is being proposed 5’ from the northern property line. If approved, this waiver will not impact sightlines at the intersection of 14th Street and Cedar Avenue. COMPATIBILITY: Section 25-2-1051 states that Article 10 Compatibility Standards apply if a use in a SF-6 or less restrictive zoning district is located on a property across the street from or adjoining a property on which is zoned SF-5 or more restrictive, or on which a use permitted in a SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district is located. § 25-2-1063 - HEIGHT LIMITATIONS AND SETBACKS FOR LARGE SITES.

ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2022-001 Description: Amend certain provisions to Title 25 of the City Code to address challenges to the successful design and construction of public mobility and transit projects and associated utility projects in the City’s right-of-way. • Allow roadways sufficient maximum impervious cover limits for street cross- sections; • Clarify that zoning regulations (Chapter 25-2, Subchapter E) do not apply to linear mobility and transit projects located in the right of way; • Provide a definition of a site area for projects in the right-of-way; • Establish consistency in determining what construction in the right-of-way is considered maintenance versus redevelopment, and clarify that maintenance of existing roadways does not trigger water quality requirements; • Develop water quality calculations specific to projects in the right-of-way that cannot provide on-site water quality. Provide water quality credit for the removal of existing impervious cover, and allow payment-in-lieu of water quality treatment if other feasible solutions have been exhausted in all watershed regulation areas except the Barton Springs Zone; and, • Clarify that railways should have the same applicable environmental requirements as roadways.
