ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 7, 2026: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: On March 9, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 20230309-016 accepting the Equitable Transit-Oriented Development Policy Plan and directing the City Manager regarding next steps for implementation of items intended to benefit the Project Connect Phase 1 Austin Light Rail project. This included development of code amendments to support transit in May of 2024 (Ordinance No. 20240516-005), including creation of the ETOD combining district (restrictions on non-transit supportive uses) and the DBETOD combining district (allowing residential use, and relaxing some development standards 02 C14-2026-0027 - 4106 Medical Parkway; District 101 of 14 C14-2026-0027 2 including increased height in exchange for income-restricted housing). Properties within one half-mile of the Phase 1 Austin Light Rail alignment and Priority Extensions were included within this overlay, and certain properties were rezoned through a City-initiated process to include the ETOD and DBETOD combining districts. Further, properties rezoned with DBETOD combining district were categorized into Subdistrict 1 (maximum allowable height of 120 feet) or Subdistrict 2 (maximum allowable height of 90 feet), generally based on property distance of ¼-mile or ½-mile from the Phase 1 alignment, respectively.

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 7, 2026: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: It is Current Planning’s understanding that the telecommunications tower owner will seek a conditional use permit (CUP) application following this rezoning.

Currently, COA Autin Water (AW) is out of compliance with City Council’s general policy that all City owned, or leased, land be zoned public (P) district.

It should be noted; this location does have an existing, approximate 35-feet tall AT&T tower with an equipment shelter and lease agreement executed prior to COA annexing the Davenport Ranch MUD No. 1 in Dec.1997. Originally, the tower lease was with Davenport Ranch MUD No.1. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought.

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Ms. Villela, I am writing regarding Zoning Case C14-2025-0089 and the proposed development at Loop 360 and Lost Creek Blvd. Lost Creek Blvd is already facing significant planned growth, including two major housing developments that will materially increase traffic volume and congestion in the near term. Adding this proposed project on top of that existing pipeline of development risks overloading the corridor beyond what it can safely handle. Of particular concern is emergency access and evacuation capacity. Lost Creek has limited ingress and egress, and additional density without a clear, validated plan for traffic flow and evacuation could create serious safety risks for residents, especially in a wildfire or other emergency scenario. Given these factors, I strongly support postponing the vote until comprehensive traffic and wildfire evacuation studies are completed and incorporated into the decision-making process. It is critical that cumulative impacts from all planned developments are evaluated together, not in isolation. Thank you …

This tract of land was granted an Interim-SF-2 designation when it was annexed by the city in 2014. The lots to the north, south and east have multifamily zoning (MF-2-CO and MF-4 respectively). To the west there is a religious assembly use (St. Alban’s Episcopal Church) that is located in the county and ROW/Interstate Highway-35. The applicant is requesting to establish permanent commercial-mixed use zoning to develop a retail use/service station at this location (please see Applicant's Request Letter - Exhibit C). The staff is recommending Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District zoning as the property backs up to a multifamily development and will have a secondary access to Mayall Trail, a level 1/Residential designated street. The proposed GR-MU-CO zoning is consistent with planning principles as this site takes its primary access to the IH-35 frontage road and will provide services to the surrounding residential developments and the community at large. The applicant has proposed a conditional overlay to prohibit the more intensive commercial uses as the planned retail development will be adjacent to multifamily residential uses. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Community Commercial district is intended for office and commercial uses serving neighborhood and community needs, including both unified shopping centers and individually developed commercial …

ZONING & PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION SHEET Agenda Item: Recommendation on Public Access Easements (PAEs) Sponsor: Commissioner Lonny Stern Date: _________________ Action Requested Approve a recommendation to the Austin City Council to initiate development of a Public Access Easement (PAE) policy within the Land Development Code. Summary This item recommends that City Council direct the City Manager to develop an ordinance requiring or incentivizing Public Access Easements (PAEs) in certain developments to improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. The recommendation emphasizes Joint Use Access Easements (JUAEs) as the preferred implementation method, allowing public access to be co-located within existing fire lanes, utility easements, and access drives. Why This Matters • Many developments are internally connected but not publicly permeable Small connections can significantly improve transit access and safety • • This is a low-cost, high-impact way to build a connected network over time Key Elements • Applies to mixed-use, commercial, and multi-family developments (threshold-based) • Allows co-location within fire lanes/utilities (JUAE preferred) • Establishes minimum design standards • Provides flexibility through administrative approval • May count toward pedestrian/open space requirements Requested Outcome ZAP recommends that City Council adopt a resolution directing staff to: • Develop ordinance language • Conduct stakeholder engagement • Return with implementation framework Attachments • Draft Recommendation • Backup A: Policy Concept Summary • Backup B: Illustrative Code Framework 06 Draft Recommendation - Zoning and Platting Commission Public Access Easement1 of 7 A Recommendation for Public Access Easements in New Development WHEREAS The Zoning & Platting Commission (ZAP) recognizes that Austin’s continued growth presents both challenges and opportunities to improve connectivity, safety, and access for people traveling by foot, bicycle, and transit; and WHEREAS many mixed-use, commercial, and multi-family developments include internal circulation elements such as fire lanes, utility easements, and private access ways that could provide meaningful public connections if made accessible; and WHEREAS gaps in connectivity between parcels, streets, trails, and transit stops contribute to longer travel distances, reduced safety, and limited access to mobility options; and WHEREAS cities across the United States have successfully implemented public access easement requirements to expand pedestrian networks and improve multimodal access without requiring full public right-of-way dedication; and WHEREAS the Commission finds that requiring or incentivizing Public Access Easements (PAEs)— particularly when co-located within Joint Use Access Easements (JUAEs)—can provide significant public benefit while minimizing impacts to development feasibility; WHEREAS large development sites without publicly accessible through-connections may create “superblock” …
. RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Zoning and Platting Commission Recommendation Number: 20260616-06: Public Access Easements in New Development WHEREAS The Zoning & Platting Commission (ZAP) recognizes that Austin’s continued growth presents both challenges and opportunities to improve connectivity, safety, and access for people traveling by foot, bicycle, and transit; and WHEREAS many mixed-use, commercial, and multi-family developments include internal circulation elements such as fire lanes, utility easements, and private access ways that could provide meaningful public connections if made accessible; and WHEREAS gaps in connectivity between parcels, streets, trails, and transit stops contribute to longer travel distances, reduced safety, and limited access to mobility options; and WHEREAS cities across the United States have successfully implemented public access easement requirements to expand pedestrian networks and improve multimodal access without requiring full public right-of-way dedication; and WHEREAS the Commission finds that requiring or incentivizing Public Access Easements (PAEs)— particularly when co-located within Joint Use Access Easements (JUAEs)—can provide significant public benefit while minimizing impacts to development feasibility; WHEREAS large development sites without publicly accessible through-connections may create “superblock” conditions that limit pedestrian permeability and increase reliance on automobile travel; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Zoning and Platting Commission recommends the Austin City Council to: 1. Establishment of Need. The Zoning & Platting Commission recommends that the City of Austin establish a policy framework requiring or incentivizing the provision of Public Access Easements (PAEs) in new mixed-use, commercial, and multi-family developments. The Commission finds that such a policy would: • Improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity • Enhance access to transit and public amenities • Support complete communities and compact growth • Leverage existing site infrastructure (fire lanes, utilities, access drives) • Strengthen Austin’s public realm network over time . 2. Direction to City Council. The Zoning & Platting Commission recommends that the Austin City Council adopt a resolution directing the City Manager to: • Develop a proposed ordinance amending the Land Development Code to establish Public Access Easement requirements; • Evaluate thresholds for applicability (e.g., mixed-use, commercial square footage, multifamily unit counts); • Develop design, safety, and accessibility standards; • Evaluate existing block length, pedestrian circulation, and connectivity provisions within Subchapter E and determine whether similar principles should apply to internal site permeability and through-site pedestrian access; • Establish administrative criteria and enforcement mechanisms; • Identify incentives or offsets to support implementation; and • Conduct stakeholder engagement with developers, neighborhood groups, and …

The conditional overlay will be amended to allow drive-in service as an accessory use to commercial uses. All other portions of the conditional overlay will remain unchanged. ZONING & PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 2, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of approximately 7.31 acres located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Davis Lane and Brodie Lane. This site is currently undeveloped, while the current zoning district of this property, established in 2001 by Ordinance No. 011004-12, is Community Commercial – Conditional Overlay (GR-CO); the conditional overlay in effect for this property establishes floor-to-area ratio caps, restrictions on certain uses, and a 02 C14-2026-0001 - 3416 Davis Lane; District 51 of 13 prohibition on drive-in service as an accessory use to commercial uses. Please refer to Exhibit D (Ordinance No. 011004-12). Adjacent land uses consists of multifamily residences and undeveloped land to the east, multifamily residences to the north, single family residences and commercial uses to the south, and open space and multifamily residences to the west. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). As for the transportation context of the larger vicinity surrounding this property, the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) identifies Davis Lane as a level 2 street, while Brodie Lane is established as a level 3 street. This property is approximately one mile north of the intersection of Slaughter Lane, an Imagine Austin corridor, and Brodie Lane. The applicant is requesting that the prohibition on drive-in service as an accessory use to commercial uses be removed from the conditional overlay. This would allow the applicant to provide neighborhood-serving commercial uses which could include a low-intensity drive- through accessory use. Staff is recommending Community Commercial – Conditional Overlay (GR-CO) combining district zoning with the modification to the conditional overlay because of the site’s proximity to Brodie Lane - a major corridor, and Davis Lane …
