NOTE TO READER: There are not any base zoning changes being proposed as part of this NCCD update. The Tract Map (Exhibit B) will probably need to be updated to reflect the subsets of tracts (5a, 6a, 8a, etc. instead of 5, 6, 8, etc.). This chart reflects Ord. # 20080228-087 (adopting the East 12th Street NNCD), Ord. # 20171109-094 (amending the NCCD in 2017), Ord. # 20100325-062 (adding the “V” to Tract 18) and Ord. # 20090723-124 (adding the “V” to Tract 10).

Background The East 12th Street Neighborhood Conservation Combining District (NCCD) is a zoning tool to implement the East 11th and 12th Street Urban Renewal Plan (URP). The East 12th Street NCCD was adopted by City Council on February 28, 2008 under Ordinance No. 20080228-087 and was amended by subsequent zoning ordinances. The NCCD for East 11th Street was adopted by the City Council on June 20, 1991 under Ordinance No. 910620-C and was amended by subsequent zoning ordinances. A NCCD modifies provisions of the City's land development code and allows the customizing of development standards to meet the needs of East 12th Street. Between 2019 and 2020, the Urban Renewal Board with the assistance of staff and a consultant worked to update and clarify the East 11th Street NCCD and the East 11th and 12th Streets Urban Renewal Plan These efforts resulted in a revision to the URP and the East 11th Street NCCD and proposed revisions to the East 12th Street NCCD, primarily to Exhibit C, Neighborhood Conservation Combining District Plan. II. The NCCD and Neighborhood Plans The East 12th Street NCCD falls primarily in the Central East Austin Neighborhood Plan. One block, Tract 10, is within the Chestnut Neighborhood Plan and one block, Tract 18, is within the Rosewood Neighborhood Plan. The Chestnut Neighborhood Plan and the Rosewood Neighborhood Plans are in accord with the URP and the NCCD for East 12th Street. Where there is disagreement with the Central East Austin Neighborhood Plan, the neighborhood plan's future land use map will be updated to reflect the land uses called for in the URP. III. District Boundaries A. The boundaries of the East 12th Street NCCD are generally described as those lots facing East 12th Street from IH-35 and Branch Street to Poquito Street. See attached map. B. Subdistrict boundaries The East 12th Street NCCD is divided into four subdistricts: a. North side of East 12th Street from IH-35 to the northwest corner of Olander Street. 1. Subdistrict 1 b. Tract 1. 2. Subdistrict 2 Street. a. North side of East 12th Street from northeast corner of Olander Street to Poquito b. Southwest corner of Comal and East 12th Street. c. South side of East 12th Street between Chicon Street and Poquito Street. Page 9 of 16  d. Tracts 2-10, a portion of Tract 15 and Tract 18. a. South side of East 12th Street from Comal Street to Chicon Street. b. South side of East 12th Street between Comal and Chicon Street. c. Tracts 16 and 17. 3. Subdistrict 2a 4. Subdistrict 3 a.

Land Use Regulations A. Except as specifically provided for by this plan, the land use regulations of the City Code apply to the East 12th Street NCCD. If applicable, the requirements of the URP apply to the East 12th Street NCCD.
