ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 5 CASE: C14-2020-0070 – JBR Holdings ZONING FROM / TO: CS-CO, to remove the 2,000 daily vehicle trip limit ADDRESS: 9315 South IH 35 Service Road Northbound SITE AREA: 4.845 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Alpha Meadows Crossing, Ltd. AGENT: Kimley-Horn (Luke Caraway) (Joseph Richter, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant general commercial services – conditional overlay (CS- CO) combining district zoning. The Conditional Overlay: 1) prohibits the following uses: adult-oriented businesses, automotive rentals, automotive repair services, automotive sales, automotive washing (of any type), commercial off-street parking, drop-off recycling collection facility, pawn shop services and residential treatment, and 2) requires a 15-foot wide vegetative buffer along the western property line. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 18, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Planned to be scheduled for September 17, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The rezoning area is a 200-foot wide area within a larger platted lot located on the northbound IH 35 service road south of Slaughter Lane. It has had general commercial services – conditional overlay (CS-CO) district zoning since October 2014 and the southernmost portion contains the storage of construction vehicles. The rezoning area is otherwise characterized as undeveloped, sparsely vegetated and relatively flat, and slopes to the east, towards Onion Creek. To the north there is a drainage easement owned by TXDoT (SF-2), a recently constructed apartment development (MF-4-CO), as well as convenience B-021 of 19 C14-2020-0070 Page 2 storage and equipment rental uses (CS-CO; I-RR); to the east is undeveloped property owned by the Applicant (GR-CO); and to the south is an equipment repair and sales business also owned by the Applicant (LI-CO, I-SF-2; I-RR) and a TXDOT office/warehouse facility (GO- CO). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial View). The Applicant requests removal of the 2,000 daily vehicle trip limit established as a Conditional Overlay (-CO) with the 2014 rezoning ordinance as a necessary step prior to constructing site plan improvements that include an approximate 80,000 square foot general retail use. Austin Transportation Department staff recently approved a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) in conjunction with the site plan application. Please refer to Exhibit B (2014 Rezoning Ordinance) and Attachment A (TIA Memo). BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0063 – Pier Property Rezoning DISTRICT: 10 ZONING FROM: CS-1, LA ADDRESS: 1703 River Hills Road SITE AREA: 0.096 acres (4181.76 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Tires Made Easy, Inc (Andrew S. Price) TO: CR AGENT: Husch Blackwell, LLP, (Nikelle Meade) CASE MANAGER Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov ) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant commercial recreation (CR) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments below. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: Planning to schedule for September 17, 2020 August 18, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES There is no new development proposed for the subject property. The requested CR zoning is required to repair the existing marina. There is a Travis County water district with a water intake nearby. Through their legal counsel, they expressed their concern about the proximity of the marina. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is addressed as 1703 River Hills Road. Currently there are no occupied structures or operating businesses on the 4.465 acre property. 1 of 9B-031 of 9 C14-2020-0063 2 The subject riverside and woodland property is surveyed as 4.465 acres (approximately 194,495 square feet) with approximately 212 feet of Lake Austin frontage. The requested rezoning tract is for the footprint of the existing marina (about 4,181 square feet). The marina was built to serve a restaurant that operated on the property but closed prior to 2006. The existing commercial-liquor sales (CS-1) zoning permits the bar/restaurant use as a primary land use and the Land Development Code allows a marina as an accessory use to a restaurant. Since the restaurant is not in operation, the marina becomes the primary use. The applicant stated that there are 20 boat slips and that they intend to reconstruct them in the same location. The requested commercial recreation (CR) zoning district allows a commercial marina as a primary use. An Austin Code Enforcement Official inspected the marina and determined that the boat slips may be unsafe and require repairs. The applicants responded to the enforcement notice and applied for permits to make the required repairs. The permits were denied because the marina does not have the correct zoning. The applicants indicate that they plan to remove all dangerous structures and make repairs when they can get permits to do so. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with …

COTA is not disclosing this to the 2 downstream neighborhoods effected. 1 or 2 new retention ponds will not stop the water pouring off a 170 ft hill.

Zoning and Platting Commission Q & A Report 5. Zoning: C814-2018-0122 - Circuit of the Americas PUD; District 2 Question: Commissioner Aguirre 1. In regards to Affordable Housing, what is the proposed estimated amount expected for the fee in lieu donation per the 2.5.6 Development Bonus? Response: It is not possible to provide an accurate estimate since the fee-in-lieu will be calculated as individual site plans are submitted. Once a site plan is submitted the fee will be calculated based on the current fee rate (which is updated on a yearly basis) multiplied by the bonus square footage of that particular site plan ( which is the square footage above what would have been possible under the baseline CS zoning). 2.
