ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 16, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-2025-0084 - Howard Lane Rezoning; District 71 of 13 C14-2025-0084 ISSUES: 2 On January 29, 2024, a code violation was filed for this property for an Enterprise Violation - case number ECV 2024-010063, for an unpermitted commercial development of site (please see Exhibit C). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property under consideration is a 25,284 sq. ft. lot that contains a warehouse that fronts onto W. Howard Lane and backs up to Daisy Lane, thus allowing access from both streets. There are construction sales and services businesses to the north (ABC Heating and Air Services Supply Co Inc.) in the county and to the west (Demolition Excursion Alliance LLC, Bartlett Tree Experts) zoned CS and CS-1-CO respectively. The lots to the east contain another construction sales and services use (Best Insulation) that was recently rezoned to CS, a vehicle storage use (Eagle Towing) and an office/warehouse use (Jorgenson) zoned LI. There is a manufactured home to south fronting Daisy Drive with LI zoning. In this request, the applicant is asking to rezone the property from GR to CS to bring the existing use into conformance with land use regulations in the Code. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. General Commercial Services district is intended predominately for commercial and industrial activities of a service nature having operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments. 2. The proposed zoning should allow for a reasonable use of the property. CS zoning would allow for a fair and reasonable use of the site because the proposed zoning will bring the existing air conditioning repair business/Construction Sales and Services use into conformance with land use regulations in the Code. 3. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The CS zoning district would be consistent with the zoning in this area because there is commercial and industrial zoning surrounding this tract of land. There is …

In this request, the applicant is asking to rezone this property to CS-1 for Tract 1, the food court area, and CS-CO for Tract 2, the surface parking and warehousing area. The applicant has said that the purpose of this rezoning is to allow patrons of the food court to purchase alcoholic beverages on-site and take them to the various food truck eating areas for consumption, along with their food. The staff recommends CS-1-CO, Commercial-Liquor Sales-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning for Tract 1 and CS-CO, General Commercial Services-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning for Tract 2. The proposed conditional (CO) will prohibit Adult Oriented Businesses on both tracts.

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 …

Mopac Expy Suite 320 Austin, TX 78759 (512) 485-0831 CASE MANAGER: Meg Greenfield, (512) 978-4663, meg.greenfield@austintexas.gov EXISTING ZONING: (P) Public PROPOSED USE: The applicant is proposing a service center for the City of Austin Resource Recovery and Fleet Services. 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.

Bennett) TO: SF-3 CASE MANAGER: Nancy Estrada (512-974-7617, nancy.estrada@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant family residence (SF-3) district zoning. 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. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. Up to three units are permitted under single-family residential development standards. 2. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses.
