SMALL AREA PLANNING JOINT COMMITTEE August 16, 2021: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 24, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 30, 2021 ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2021-0111 2 ISSUES The project area is within the Waterfront Overlay and will be reviewed by the Small Area Plan Joint Commission on August 16, 2021, prior to Planning Commission. A height variance, increasing maximum building height to 75 feet was approved prior to Zoning Application. Parking reductions proposed in the PDA are being reviewed by ATD. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: There are three case numbers assigned to one development project. Parcels are separated by rights-of-way but will be developed and operated as a single development. Parcel 1 is case C14- 2021-0111; Parcel 2 is C14-2021-0112; and Parcel 3 is C14-2021-0113. Location and Access The three rezoning tracts are all south of the active Union Pacific railroad tracks. Vehicle access to the development will be from both Pressler and Paul Streets. Since those access rely on at- grade railroad crossings, there will be safety arms that lower across the streets as trains approach. The applicant is proposing to connect public sidewalk access to the park through the development from both streets. Site and Surrounding Area Parcel 1 is a 1.072-acre (46,696 sq. ft.) tract on the east end of the project. Pressler Street extended is the western end of this tract. The south edge of the elevated area is fenced and has dense vegetation so that there are not currently views of or access to the park or lake beyond. The site is elevated relative to the adjoining Ladybird Lake - Lamar Beach public park. Development site is benched and mostly level at the railroad tracks. Generally, the area slopes towards the lake with particularly steep grades along the park, on park land. There are trails within the park that the developer intends to connect to …
