1010 Clermont August 12, 2020 Purpose • Seeking approval under LDC Section 25-2-735 (D) (2) (d) for the impervious cover at 69%, which is greater than the 40% allowed in the Festival Beach Waterfront Overlay sub-district. This will be a reduction from the existing 81% impervious cover for the former used car site and well below the zoning limit of 90%. Water quality measures consisting of a rain garden and porous pavement and sidewalk. 2 REASON • The triangular shaped property is the remaining portions of three lots after the TxDOT right-of-way purchase for IH 35, which severely limits the size of the property and therefore the portion of the property that can be used for parking and building. Approximately 47.5 percent of three original lots was purchased by TxDOT. • There is a 25 foot electric transmission easement across the west side of the lot, which severely limits the footprint of the building. Additionally, there is an SF-3 zoned lot a couple lots east of the property, so it is subject to compatibility height limit of 3 stories. 3 INFORMATION • Area Character • The site is on the IH 35 frontage road and is adjacent to commercial property, the site is zoned to allow administrative office use so will not affect the adjacent uses. The adjacent properties are zoned for commercial uses. 4 INFORMATION • The small administrative office building will not generate high traffic volumes and the location on IH 35 frontage road in downtown will facilitate alternate mobility options. A shower will be provided for tenant to use to facilitate bicycle riding and alternate transportation options. There are 11 parking spaces on the site. • The building is small enough to use City of Austin Resource Recovery for trash collection on Clermont Avenue, and Clermont Avenue has parking on both sides of the street. • The project includes a 10-foot wide shared use path along IH-35 frontage road to facilitate pedestrian and bicyclist access to the property and along the frontage road from adjacent streets without entering the travel lanes. • The zoning ordinance for the property restricts the allowable uses by listing over 30 prohibited uses, including medical offices, general retail sales, consumer convenience services, restaurants, software development and all automotive related uses. 5 Site previously used as used car sales lot with billboard in center and other signage. 6 7 PROPRTY PROFILE 8 PROPRTY PROFILE 9 PROPRTY PROFILE 10 Questions?
