Box 1088 Austin, TX 78767-1088 Subject: Formal Opposition to Proposed Zoning Change - Case C14-2025-0064 Dear Ms. Estrada, This letter serves as my formal complaint and continued strong opposition to the proposed zoning change, Case Number C14-2025-0064, affecting the area near Trelawney and Galsworthy in the 78739 zip code. This letter is submitted in follow-up to our recent email correspondence. As a resident of this neighborhood, my family and I made the significant decision to purchase our home based, in large part, on the existing commercial zoning of the adjacent open space. This specific zoning designation was a crucial factor in our home-buying process and directly contributed to the value proposition that attracted us to this community. Any alteration to this zoning directly impacts our property's value and the established character of our neighborhood. In addition to the concerns outlined above, I wish to emphasize several other critical negative impacts of this proposed zoning change: ● School Infrastructure: The increased residential density will place additional strain on Kiker Elementary and other local schools that are already operating at or beyond capacity. This will inevitably lead to overcrowding, larger class sizes, and a diminished educational experience for our children. ● Traffic and Safety: Our neighborhood roads and the Mopac corridor are already significantly congested during peak hours. Adding a substantial residential development will exacerbate these existing traffic problems, leading to longer commute times, increased frustration, and creating considerable safety concerns for pedestrians, cyclists, and existing residents due to higher vehicle volumes. ● Quality of Life: The proposed development will inevitably lead to increased noise levels, particularly from construction and a higher density of residents, and greater light pollution. These changes will fundamentally alter the peaceful, established character of our neighborhood. Residents who chose to live in Circle C for its current quiet environment and quality of life will face a significant degradation in their living 02 C14-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract 110; District 8130 of 139 conditions. ● Environmental Impact: The influx of new residents living in this area 24/7 will create ongoing environmental pressures, including increased demand on water resources, greater waste generation, and potential impacts on …

July 20, 2026 Liz Johnston, Environmental Officer Austin Watershed Protection 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive Austin, TX 78752 Via Electronic Delivery Re: 3900 W. Howard Lane – Environmental Variance Request for the 170.178-acre property located at 3900 W. Howard Lane, Austin, TX 78728, comprised of TCAD ID 0267110101 (the "Property") Dear Ms. Johnson: The following request is on behalf of Otsuka ICU Medical LLC ("Owner") for approval of an environmental variance in connection with the proposed Great Wave development (“D” permit (2025170-D)) at 3900 W. Howard Lane, Austin, TX 78728 ("Project"). The Project proposes a new manufacturing facility for ICU Medical which will be permitted under the “C” permit (2025170-C). A variance of the following code sections is requested under the “D” permit: • • Land Development Code ("LDC") §25-8-341 (Cut Requirements): o Allow cut greater than 4’, up to 20’ of cut. Land Development Code ("LDC") §25-8-342 (Fill Requirements): o Allow fill greater than 4’, up to 20’ of fill. An existing medical facility building occupies the southern portion of the site. The proposed structure, located on the northern portion of the property, is constrained by the existing development and its established grades. Additionally, the natural topography of the site has significant variation, with the highest elevation located at the northwest corner. To accommodate the intended use of the structure, a single finished floor elevation with level docking and loading areas is required. The large, level footprint of the building results in cut at the northern end of the structure and fill at the southern end of the structure, both exceeding code requirements for a finished floor elevation of 813.60 NAVD88. While the proposed grading will transition to the existing grades at the limits of construction, the existing medical facility has a finished floor of 806.40 +/- NAVD88. The difference in finished floor elevations is due to the natural topography of the site and the presence of shallow bedrock at the northern portion of the site. To limit the disturbance of the site, the following mitigation measures are proposed: retaining walls along the McNeil Merriltown Road frontage, 2.79 acres of native restoration planting and 676 proposed trees. All required tree mitigation is met, and the landscaping exceeds code requirements (total stabilized, vegetated area of approximately 13.58 acres). Please see included plan sheets for additional detailed information. 2705 Bee Caves Road Suite 100 | Austin, Texas 78746 | 512-807-2900 | www.drennergroup.com …

We are not sure that they will get it resolved before the August 18 ZAP hearing, which would make the hearing premature if the access point in the Applicant’s zoning application is under dispute. We respectfully request a postponement to the furthest date allowed to enable the parties to resolve the matter of the unauthorized filing of the restrictive covenant amendment. We would also request that the packet of information I circulated on August 12, 2026, which is also attached here for your convenience, be included in the official packet for the August 18 ZAP hearing.

Basis: The case relies on a restrictive covenant amendment, the validity of which, the Circle C residents are actively challenging, and it has since it has come to light that it was filed without authorization. See specifically the details for July 29, 2026 and July 31, 2026 below. Background The Circle C HOA and Stratus Properties are parties to an Amended and Restated Declarations of Restrictive Covenants, dated September 9, 2011, which prohibits vehicular access to Dahlgreen Avenue from Tract 110. That covenant is central to the zoning application Stratus has filed in this case: Stratus wants Dahlgreen to serve as a full residential access point for its proposed 1,000-unit multifamily development. Dahlgreen has been deliberately protected since 2002 because it is a cross street and school zone for Kiker Elementary School, and Circle C residents oppose opening this two-lane interior residential street to development traffic. 02 C14-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract 110; District 81 of 23 The chronology below explains why the validity of the covenant amendment is now in dispute: ● May 2025 – Stratus files its zoning conversion application requesting upzoning from office to multifamily for its proposed development of Tract 110 in Circle C.

Over the last several weeks, the Circle C Board of Directors has worked with Legal and Stratus on a new Second Amendment and a First Amendment Termination Document that was recorded in error. The Circle C Board President called a Special Board Meeting on August 14, 2026. At the Special Board Meeting, the Board of Directors approved the Second Amendment and the First Amendment Termination Document. The Termination Document will be filed and recorded on August 17, 2026. The Executed Second Amendment will be held in an Escrow account managed by Heritage Title and will only be filed once Stratus has full Zoning Approval by the City Council on the Zoning Case on all three (3) readings. If Stratus does not received full Zoning Approval within 2-years of the date of the Escrow Account, the Second Amendment will be voided and destroyed by Heritage Title. The Board continues to strongly encourage all parties involved to consider the following traffic safety and infrastructure improvements as part of any future development: 1. We request Council take action to make the secondary access on Dahlgreen Avenue an Emergency Access/Evacuation Only. 2. Do not extend South Bay toward MoPac. 3.

Adding this amount of traffic to the intersection located right at the elementary school for my home will drastically increase the safety challenges in this area for our smallest children. These roads would need to drastically change to handle that traffic and would still increase safety concerns due to their location at the very center of pedestrian traffic for the school. I am begging you to require a smaller quantity of apartment homes for this area or to require outlets directly to Mopac rather than snaking through our neighborhood streets.

It currently contains a personal services use (Lugo’s Mane Tamers) and a plant nursery (Round Rock Landscape Supplies). The lot to the east is zoned MF-3 and is developed with an apartment complex (The Avery). The tract to the north is located in the county and the lot to the west is zoned MF-4. This combined area is currently being developed with another multifamily use (The Wyatt). To the south, there is right of way area for North F.M. 620 and undeveloped land zoned PUD. In this rezoning request, the applicant is asking for GR zoning to bring the existing commercial uses into conformance with use regulations in the City of Austin Land Development Code. The staff recommends GR, Community Commercial District, zoning for this property as it is located on and takes access to a major traffic way, North FM 620 Road. The proposed zoning will allow for office, civic and commercial uses that will provide services to the residential developments to the north, east and west.

The conditional overlay will prohibit the following uses on the property: Automotive Repair Services, Automotive Sales, Automotive Washing (of any type), Bail Bond Services, Club or Lodge, Commercial Off-Street Parking, Drop Off Recycling Collection Facility, Exterminating Services, Funeral Services, Hotel/Motel, Off-Site Accessory Parking, Outdoor Entertainment, Outdoor Sports and Recreation, Pawn Shop Services and Service Station ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 4, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 03 C14-2026-0046 - Howard Plaza; District 11 of 16 C14-2026-0046 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is an undeveloped 8.37 acre tract that fronts onto East Howard Lane. This lot was annexed by the City of Austin on December 31, 2007 (Case C7a-07-024) and received W/LO zoning in 2017 through case C14-2016-0119 (please see Area Case Histories below). The property owner has a site plan – case SP-2023-0053C - that is approved to permit four 15,000 sq. ft. buildings and a 7,200 pavilion on the site. Therefore, the applicant is requesting GR zoning to allow for office (professional office), religious assembly, indoor entertainment (wedding venue) and an indoor sports and recreation use (pickleball courts) within these structures on the property. The staff is recommending GR-CO, Community Commercial-Combining District, zoning for this site. The proposed GR-CO zoning will allow for office, civic and commercial uses on a tract of land that fronts onto an arterial roadway, East Howard Lane. The zoning will provide a transition across Howard Lane, to the planned residential uses to the north in the Cantarra Residential Neighborhood and to the east to the Mixed Residential Area in the Pioneer Crossing PUD. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning is 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 sites, and typically requiring locations accessible from major traffic ways. 2. The proposed zoning should allow for a reasonable use of the property. The GR-CO zoning would allow for reasonable use of the site because it will permit the applicant to develop a mixture of office, …

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 4, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 04 C14-2026-0049 - 7217 McNeil Dr. Zoning Change; District 61 of 13 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 0.33 acre site that is currently developed with a single-family residence fronting McNeil Drive. The lots to the east contain an office/warehouse zoned CS and a construction sales and services use zoned CS-CO. To the west, there is a restaurant use (Taqueria Jessica) and an outdoor food trailer court with surface parking and auxiliary warehouse structures, zoned CS-1-CO and CS-CO. Across McNeil Drive to the north, there is a one-story office/warehouse park (McNeil Corporate Office Park) zoned LI-CO. To the south, there is a warehouse with outdoor storage that is part of a construction sales and services business that fronts McNeil Drive zoned CS-CO. In this case, the applicant is requesting CS zoning to utilize the existing structure for a professional office. The property meets the intent of the CS base district as it is located within a commercial area fronting a level 4/arterial roadway. The proposed zoning is consistent with existing zoning as the lots adjacent this site to the north, south, east and west are zoned LI-CO, CS, CS-1-CO and CS-CO respectively and contain commercial and light industrial uses. The proposed zoning will permit the applicant to utilize the property for office, civic and commercial uses that are consistent with surrounding land use patterns in this area. The site under consideration is within the designated ‘183 & McNeil Neighborhood Center’, as identified on the Growth Concept Map in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. There are public transportation options in this area as there are sidewalks and a bike lane along McNeil Drive and there is a Capital Metro bus stop within 0.25 miles at the intersection of McNeil Drive and Research Boulevard. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the …

ZONING & PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 4, 2026: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of approximately 0.9526 acres located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Westbank Drive and Camp Craft Road. Situated on the site is a one-story, multi-tenant commercial building that houses a furniture store, restaurant, animal clinic, pharmacy, and dry cleaners. Furthermore, this property features a surface parking lot with over 50 parking spaces, including several handicap-accessible spaces. Vehicle access is taken from both Westbank Drive and Camp Craft Road. The current zoning district of this property is Single Family Residence Standard Lot (SF-2). Adjacent land uses consists of single family residences to the east (SF-2), offices to the south 05 C14-2026-0043 - 4201 Westbank Retail; District 81 of 9 C14-2025-0002 Page 2 and west (LO), and Westlake High School to the north. 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 Camp Craft Road as a level 1, while Westbank Drive does not have an ASMP designation because it falls within the jurisdictional limits of the City of Westlake Hills rather than that of the City of Austin. Finally, the Capital of Texas Highway is 0.1 miles west of this property. The applicant is requesting neighborhood commercial (LR) district zoning in order to bring their property into conformance with the City of Austin’s land use regulations. Currently, there is no proposed construction or demolition to augment the existing building, nor site. Staff is recommending neighborhood commercial (LR) district zoning because it would conform the commercial use of this property with it’s zoning. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The Neighborhood Commercial (LR) district is the designation for a commercial use that provides business service and office facilities for the residents of a neighborhood. Site development regulations and performance standards applicable …

Fire Evacuation Route Plan for the City of West Lake Hills Prepared by: The West Lake Hills Police Department Updated August 2022 1 | P a g e 02 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 81 of 39 This document is designed to provide guidance in the event an evacuation of some or all of the residents of or visitors to West Lake Hills becomes necessary. Evacuation plans are normally put in place to prepare for natural disasters – floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, mudslides, wildfires, etc. For purposes of this document, we will focus on evacuation procedures related to wildfire, since that is the most likely natural disaster we will encounter in the City of West Lake Hills. The City of West Lake Hills is a unique, heavily forested suburban community located just minutes from downtown Austin. With its unique terrain, it presents unique issues when formulating an evacuation plan. Many of the streets in the city are narrow and winding, which presents issues for emergency equipment. Many pieces of firefighting apparatus are large and the firefighters will need to have access to all sides of the apparatus, requiring it be parked in the middle of the street and reducing the likelihood of other vehicles being able to pass by on the same street. Several areas and neighborhoods inside the City of West Lake Hills are only accessible by one ingress/egress point, which also presents issues when trying to evacuate. As stated above, many pieces of firefighting apparatus are large enough to block ingress/egress on narrower city streets. There will almost always be a fire hose on at least a portion of the street. Since it is illegal and dangerous to run over a fire hose, that may mean that, depending on where the fire is located, the firefighting equipment may block the only ingress/egress route for many homeowners. Law Enforcement may also have to restrict access to certain streets to allow firefighters to do their jobs safely. The Westlake Fire Department discussed the West Lake Hills area in their Wildfire Action Plan, updated July 2022. In it, they say, “West Lake Hills is a perfect example of Wildland Urban Interface hazards. The community has not experienced, nor do they understand, the problems associated with a wildland / urban interface fire…Most residents think the possibility of a woodland /urban interface fire is a low probability. Most …
July 21, 2026 Zoning and Platting Commission Letter Case No. C14-2025-0089 July 18, 2026 Beverly Villela, Case Manager City of Austin Planning Department RE: Case No. C14-2025-0089 – 1120 & 1122 S. Capital of Texas Highway Request: LO/LR to LR‑V‑CO‑DB90 Dear Members of the Zoning and Platting Commission, On behalf of the Lost Creek Neighborhood Association and surrounding residents, we respectfully request that the Commission either deny the requested rezoning or substantially strengthen the proposed Conditional Overlay so that any redevelopment meaningfully advances the public purposes underlying the Density Bonus 90 (DB90) program and the Hill Country Roadway Corridor. Our neighborhood supports responsible growth and recognizes Austin's need for additional housing. The question before the Commission is not whether more housing should be built, but whether this proposal represents smart growth. Commissioner Lonny Stern appropriately framed the discussion as one of housing supply versus smart growth. Additional housing units alone do not necessarily produce successful affordable housing outcomes. This site lacks meaningful transit connectivity, is not walkable to grocery stores, schools, or daily services, and offers limited alternatives to automobile travel. Without transportation options and access to essential services, the project risks becoming an isolated residential enclave rather than a complete community. Affordable housing should expand access to opportunity, not simply increase the number of units. The public benefit exchanged for DB90 should therefore be more than the minimum affordability required to obtain substantially greater development rights. If the Commission recommends approval, we respectfully request a strengthened Conditional Overlay that preserves the intent of the Hill Country Roadway Corridor, limits visual massing adjacent to surrounding neighborhoods, requires meaningful affordability beyond minimum standards where feasible, improves pedestrian connectivity and transportation access, enhances landscaping and open space, and ensures that traffic and 02 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 8 1 of 11 emergency access concerns are adequately addressed. The neighborhood has also verified that the existing office buildings on the property measure approximately 44 feet in height, substantially lower than the 60-plus-foot estimates referenced during earlier discussions. The requested entitlements therefore represent a significant increase in height and mass over the existing development. Additionally, approximately 200,000 square feet of commercial space within the existing CityView complex is currently being marketed as available for lease. This demonstrates that substantial commercial capacity remains underutilized, raising important questions about replacing existing employment space with residential density while commercial vacancy …
