PROPERTY OWNER: Ringgold Partners I, Ltd. (John Bultman) AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Alice Glasco) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GR-MU, Community Commercial-Mixed Use Combining District zoning. The site development should be limited to uses and intensities that will not exceed or vary from the projected traffic conditions assumed in the final TIA (prepared by the Wantman Group, Inc., dated May 2020) through a public restrictive covenant that will be recorded prior to third reading of this case at City Council. The TIA recommendations are included as Exhibit C to this report. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 20, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 19B-1 C14-2020-0059 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is currently a moderately vegetated undeveloped tract of land located at the southwest intersection of West Howard Lane and Interstate Highway-35. The lots to the north, across W. Howard Lane, are in the county and contain automotive sales uses, offices, a religious assembly use, laundry services, a single-family residence and a service station/food sales use. The land to the west is undeveloped and contains floodplain. The tract the east, across North Lamar Boulevard, is developed with an automotive sales use. To the south, there are multifamily and single-family developments, floodplain and a high school (Connally High School). The applicant is asking to rezone the property to the GR- MU zoning to develop a 269-unit multifamily apartment complex. The staff supports the rezoning request because the site meets the intent of the GR-MU district. The property can serve community and city-wide needs as it is located along major arterial roadways, West Howard Lane, North Lamar Boulevard and the southbound frontage road of Interstate Highway-35. This tract of land is adjacent to a variety of commercial, office and residential uses to the north in the county, across Howard Lane, and to the east in the city, across North Lamar Boulevard. There are residential uses (MF-3, SF-6-CO zoning) to the southwest. The proposed Commercial Services-Mixed Use District zoning will provide for the development of a mixture of uses along two Activity Corridors (West Howard Lane and North Lamar Boulevard Activity Corridors) and within a designated Neighborhood Center (Tech …

England) AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Richard Suttle) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MF-4, Multifamily Residence-Moderate-High Density District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 20, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 15B-3 C14-2020-0099 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently an undeveloped tract of land with moderate vegetation. This area was annexed for limited purposes on November 15, 1984. This property is located at the edge of the city limits and fronts onto North FM 620 Road. There is a personal services use (Lugo’s Mane Tamers) and a plant nursery (Round Rock Landscape Supplies) to the east zoned DR, undeveloped tracts to the north located in the county and an undeveloped tract (zoned DR), monument sales use, personal services use (Edge Salon), construction sales and services use (D & B Tree Company) and the Round Rock ISD Bus Facility zoned CS-CO to the west. On the south side of FM 620 Road there is the Robinson Ranch PUD including a segment of State Highway 45. This area is currently undeveloped. The applicant is requesting MF-4, Multifamily Residence-Moderate-High Density District, zoning to develop an apartment complex. The staff recommends the applicant’s request for this property as the site meets the intent of the MF-4 district. The tract of land is located at the intersection of an arterial roadway, Pearson Ranch Road, and FM 620/ SH 45 Road. The proposed zoning will create a transition in the intensity of development from the single family residential neighborhood to the north to the commercial uses developed to the east and west. MF-4 zoning will permit the applicant to build a residential development that will provide for additional housing opportunities within this area of the city. 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. Multifamily Residence (Moderate-High Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily and group residential use with a maximum density of 36 to 54 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for moderate-high density housing in centrally located areas near …

Onion Creek Questions Zoning and Platting Commission Watershed Protection Department October 2020 How is WPD overseeing the impact of the development along Onion Creek? • The Land Development Code and associated regulations are the overseeing guide to ensure that development does not cause adverse flooding impacts • Staff from the Development Services Department review development applications for compliance with regulations, including drainage, environmental, and water quality • Watershed Protection staff get involved if: o The development is in the floodplain (and some environmental review) o The applicant requests participation in the Regional Stormwater Management Program o If DSD staff requests assistance (ex. complex engineering modelling) • WPD staff interact with DSD staff through periodic training and providing resources/information to facilitate their review What overall impact will development have for residents, business and the current infrastructure along the OC floodplain? • A development application must prove that there will not be an adverse flooding impact on other properties o Flood levels in creeks o Performance of storm drain systems • The RSMP program provides a review of development impacts on a watershed scale What risk of new elevated floodplains are being presented? • There are no flood level increases expected along Onion Creek, or any creek, due to development in Austin based on the requirements in the Land Development Code (No adverse impact) • However, perceived flood risk along all creeks in Austin recently increased due to a better understanding of the risk based on the Atlas 14 rainfall study o WPD has initiated updates to floodplain studies to identify flood risk What will be the anticipated costs for additional buy outs that are not currently planned for? What is the status of pending buyouts and costs? • The selection of a buyout alternative is determined through evaluation of viable alternatives from extensive engineering studies • Buyouts are one alternative to achieve flood risk reduction for WPD projects • Active buyout project status: Project area # of homes in project # currently owned by City Lower Onion Upper Onion Middle Williamson 823 146 66 814 (99%) 118 (81%) 51 (77%) What flood analysis has been done on the OC watershed and what areas have you focused on.

From: Jeanie McClellen < Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2020 11:48 AM To: Sirwaitis, Sherri <Sherri.Sirwaitis@austintexas.gov>; Rivera, Andrew <Andrew.Rivera@austintexas.gov> Cc: a Subject: Case #C14-2020-0059 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Ms. Sirawaitis and Mr. Rivera, I am writing as a resident who resides adjacent to the land in question of the above referenced case, just on the other side of Walnut Creek from the proposed development. I am a staunch proponent of the proposed use of the land for a variety of reasons but first and foremost because left undeveloped the land has been used as a homeless and vagrant camp, not only decreasing the desirability for buyers to consider our new property for residing or investment but also as a risk to property loss. As the former HOA president to Scofield Farms Meadows, I have had to call the police multiple times over a two year period for trespassing, camp fires, and theft. The homeless and various criminal actors have used that land to hide in or as cover to reach our property undetected. Developing the land in a responsible manner, in which I am confident after research into the developers and investors, is a must for our property and personal safety as well as a beautiful addition to this area that otherwise hosts far too many car repair, auto junkyard and low income housing alternatives. The proposed development will provide a far improved backdrop and extension to our own manicured neighborhood and I welcome the prospect of the build. Not to mention, the proposed trail that the City is planning behind our property - down the road... Would be a shame for the homeless and criminal actors to make that feel unsafe with the cover of the surrounding undeveloped land. In which case, who would use it? Better that the trail should serve not only our community but the intended residents of the new development as well.
