Horizon evaluated the subject site in accordance with the Watershed Protection Ordinance: Functional Assessment (FA) developed by the City of Austin (COA) Watershed Protection Development. The proposed project consists of development that has the potential to modify the 100-year floodplain and Critical Water Quality Zone (CWQZ) adjacent to unnamed tributaries of Walnut Creek. The subject site is located near the intersection of Loyola Lane and Sendero Hills Parkway, Austin, Travis County, Texas (Figure 1). Based on the location of the proposed construction activities within the CWQZ, Zone 2 of the FA was performed. Per the FA guidance, three 100-square-meter sample plots were to be evaluated along eight Zone 2 transects (Figure 2). Horizon took several photographs and measurements using the required tools listed in the FA. The tools included a 100-meter measuring tape, a densiometer, and a soil compaction meter. The hydric nature of vegetation species was determined from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) National Wetland Plant List. Photographs from the FA are provided in Appendix A and scoring sheets for the eight transects are provided in Appendix B. 21265-001FA CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS 1507 S Interstate 35 Austin, TX 78741-2502 (512) 328-2430 www.horizon-esi.com An LJA Company 04 SP-2022-0567C - RBI Austin Youth Development Complex; District 14 of 11 Williamson Taylor, TX Lago Vista, TX §¨¦35 £¤183 Austin, TX Lee Manor, TX Elgin, TX Travis £¤290 Belterra, TX Hays §¨¦35 Subject Site £¤183 Elroy, TX Caldwell Bastrop Bastrop, TX " "" " " " " " " " " " """" Legend " " Transect Subject Site Date: Drawn: 09/15/2021 TED HJN NO: 21265.001FA Source: OSM, 2021 Figure 1 Vicinity Map RBI at Loyola Lane Loyola Lane and Sendero Hills Parkway Austin, Travis County, Texas …

The site is currently undeveloped and owned by the City of Austin. This site plan includes associated utilities, drainage, grading, paving, and stormwater infrastructure needed to service the development. Currently, ARR maintains its entire fleet from the Todd Lane location in southeast Austin. ARR requires the use of additional facilities to better service their customers, improve operational efficiencies, reduce long-term operating costs, allow for staff expansion, and reduce the Department’s carbon footprint by providing a northern location to deploy trucks. In addition to directly supporting ARR vehicle needs, the NESC will provide much needed and improved space to support a wide range of fleet assets from lawn mowers to watercraft to Fire/Police/EMS vehicles and Public Works trucks. The NESC will be operational 24 hours a day in the event of an emergency that would require this functionality for an extended period. The development will include a fuel station for ARR, FMSD, and other city vehicles and provide electric vehicle charging. The new buildings will earn a minimum of 3-Star Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) rating and WELL silver standards for administrative office areas and include zero waste building concepts. Additionally, the sustainable building approach will help maintain a neighborly relationship with the surrounding community. 05 SPC-2024-0456C - FSD - NE Service Center; District 11 of 16 COMMISSION REQUEST: This site is zoned P (Public) and is greater than one acre in size; therefore, a Conditional Use Permit is required, according to the Land Development Code (Section 25-2-625). § 25-2-625 - PUBLIC (P) DISTRICT REGULATIONS.

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 2, 2025: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is located at 7400 Albert Road, just south of Matthews Lane. It consists of an approximately three-acre unplatted tract currently zoned development reserve (DR) district. The site contains one single-family residence located on the property. The surrounding area is primarily residential in character. To the north, south and east, there are single family residences on large tracts and lots that have frontage on Albert Road (SF-6-CO; SF-3; DR; SF-2). The Union Pacific Railroad tracks border this property to the west with single family residences and duplexes located directly across the tracks (MF-2). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). 02 C14-2025-0075 - Wehmeier 3.0; District 51 of 9 C14-2025-0075 Page 2 The Applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from development reserve (DR) district to family residence (SF-3) district zoning. The new HOME amendments will allow up to three dwelling units per lot. Currently, an addition to the existing single family residence is being proposed. Staff is recommending (SF-3) district zoning because it is compatible with the existing mix of residential zoning and housing types in the neighborhood. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The family residence (SF-3) district zoning is the designation for a moderate density single-family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet.

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 1, 2025: Postponed to August 19, 2025 at the neighborhood’s request by consent (7-0, A. Flores, D. Fouts and T. Major-absent); B. Greenberg-1st, C. Tschoepe-2nd. August 19, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-2025-0032 - Acres West Lot 20 Rezone; District 61 of 36 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 0.407 acre undeveloped lot that fronts onto Caldwell Drive. There are professional office and medical office uses to the north and east zoned GO-CO. The lots to the south are developed with single-family residences zoned SF-2. To the west there is an undeveloped area, a detention pond and a residential condominium development with GO-CO zoning and an I-RR designation. In this case, the applicant is requesting to establish permanent SF-6 zoning to allow for a single-family and condominium development on this property (please see the Applicant’s Summary Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends the applicant’s request for Townhouse and Condominium Residence district zoning. The proposed zoning is consistent with the purpose statement as the property is located on a residential collector roadway. The proposed zoning will provide a transition from the office zoning/uses to the north and east to the single-family residences along Caldwell Lane to the south. SF-6 zoning will permit the development of additional residential uses in this area and it will establish a permanent zoning designation on this currently undeveloped lot. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Townhouse and Condominium Residence district is intended as an area for moderate density single family, duplex, two family, townhouse, and condominium use, without the spacing and locational requirements for townhouses and condominiums that apply in SF-5. This district is appropriate for areas in which unusually large lots predominate with access to other than minor residential streets, and in selected areas where a transition from single-family to multifamily use is appropriate. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed zoning will provide a …

There are single family residences surrounding the property to the north, south, east and west. The lots to the north, east and west are zoned SF-1. There is SF-2 zoning directly to the south along Lemens Spice Trail and to the west along Cedarcliffe Drive.

They propose to add an additional single-family residence on its own platted lot which will be approximately 0.20 acres (8,712 sq. ft.). The applicant can subdivide the property into two lots smaller than 10,000 sq. ft. if they choose to build lots under the HOME2 ordinance which limits lots between 1,800 sq. ft. and 5,749 sq. ft. The staff recommends Single-Family Residence-Standard Lot, district zoning.

The property meets the intent of the GR base district as it is located at the southwest intersection of a Fathom Circle (Level 1/ Residential Street) and N. US Highway Service Road Southbound (Level 4/ Arterial Roadway). The GR-V-CO zoning is consistent with surrounding commercial and multifamily zoning and use patterns.

To the east of Heinemann Drive, there are single-family residences zoned PUD. To the west, there are fourplex and duplex residential uses (Melrose Place Fourplexes and Duplexes) zoned MF-2. The land to the south contains a culvert/detention area zoned PUD. The applicant is requesting MF-5, Multifamily Residence-High Density District, zoning to redevelop this property with approximately 250 multifamily residential units (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff’s recommendation is to grant MF-3, Multi- Family Residence–Medium Density District, zoning. The property in question is located along Level 1/Residential and Level 2/Collector roadways. It does not meet the purpose statement or intensity of the MF-5 district as this site does not front onto a major roadway near transportation options such as Capital Metro bus routes, bus stops or urban trails. The staff’s recommendation of MF-3 zoning is consistent with surrounding zoning patterns. This property is in an area where medium density multifamily residential use is desirable. The lot under consideration is located within 0.22 miles from Parmer Lane Activity Corridor and there are commercial goods and services available along McNeil Drive to the north. The staff’s recommendation of the Multi-Family Residence–Medium Density District will establish permanent zoning at this location and will expand the number of units and available housing choices in this area.
