ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0092 (13505 Burnet Road Rezoning) DISTRICT: 7 ZONING FROM: IP TO: MF-4 ADDRESS: 13505 Burnet Road SITE AREA: 16.41 acres (714,819 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Grand HP, Ltd., a Texas Limited Partnership (Richard Hill) AGENT: Smith Robertson LLP (David Hartman) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MF-3, Multifamily Residence-Medium Density District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 6, 2020: Postponed to November 4, 2020 at the neighborhood's request by consent (11-0); H. Smith-1st, A. Denkler-2nd. November 4, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently developed with an office and a communication service facility (Grande Communications). The applicant is requesting a rezoning of this 16+ acre site because they propose to redevelop the property with a multifamily use/a 350 unit apartment complex. The staff recommends MF-3 zoning because the property meets the intent of the purpose statement for the base district designation. The proposed zoning will promote consistency and orderly planning as the site under consideration is adjacent to existing multifamily (MF- 3-CO) zoning to the north and south. The lots directly to the north and south of this tract are developed with apartment complexes (Madison at Wells Branch Apartments, Scofield Luxury Apartments, Terraces at Scofield Ridge Apartments). The staff’s recommendation for MF-3 zoning is based on the site’s access to Elm Ridge Lane, a Level 1 street (comparable to a local street) and a 60’ wide driveway easement. The MF-3 district is compatible with the adjacent single-family residences to the northeast and east because it allows for a maximum of 40 feet in height, instead of 60 feet in height, as permitted in the requested MF-4 district. In addition, this recommendation is consistent with the surrounding zoning patterns to the north and south of this site. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Multifamily Residence (Medium Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of up to 36 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, generally in more centrally located areas, and in other selected areas where medium density multiple use is desirable. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. While the site under consideration …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: LI DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2020-0091 (Johnny Morris Road Light Industrial) ZONING FROM: LI-CO, W/LO-CO ADDRESS: 6215 ½ Johnny Morris Road SITE AREA: 14.72 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Texas Coldworks, LLC (Christian Garces) AGENT: Kimley-Horn (Harrison M. Hudson, P.E.) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends LI-CO, Limited Industrial-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will limit the site to uses permitted in the IP, Industrial Park, district and the Consumer Convenience Services use. Therefore, the CO would prohibit the following uses on the property: Automotive Washing Campground Commercial Off-Street Parking Drop Off Recycling Collection Facility Equipment Repair Services Equipment Sales Food Sales Funeral Services General Retail Sales (Convenience) General Retail Sales (General) Hotel-Motel Kennels Laundry Services Liquor Sales Monument Retail Sales Personal Improvement Services Scrap and Salvage Vehicle Storage Veterinary Services Basic Industry Recycling Center Resource Extraction C14-2020-0091 2 ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 20, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2020-0091 3 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a moderately vegetated undeveloped 14+ acre area that fronts onto Johnny Morris Road. The tract of land to the north contains a mobile home park (Walnut Creek Mobile Home Park). To the south, there is a single-family residence with a barn and a manufactured home park. The property to the west, across Johnny Morris Road, consists of an undeveloped tract, a single family residence and an office/warehouse use. To the east, there is a rail line and a single-family residential neighborhood. The applicant is requesting to rezone the property from LI-CO and W/LO-CO to develop this site with a limited warehousing and distribution use. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Limited Industrial Service district is intended as an area primarily for commercial services and limited manufacturing uses, generally on moderately sized sites. The property in question is a 14+ acre area that is located on Johnny Morris Road, an arterial roadway, across from existing industrial uses. 2. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. LI-CO zoning will permit the applicant to develop this property with the warehousing and distribution uses that were permitted in the original zoning ordinance in 1988 (Please see Exhibit D - Ordinance No. 891207- C). The proposed conditional overlay will limit the site to IP, Industrial Park district, …
1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2020-0108 Rogers Ln Project ZONING FROM: SF-2 TO: SF-3 ADDRESS: 5206 and 5208 Rogers Lane SITE AREA: 0.57 Acres PROPERTY OWNER/APPLICANT: Capital River Group, LLC – Series 24 (Stuart Carr) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request to rezone the property to SF-3. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: November 3, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: December 3, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2020-0108 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for a 0.57 acre property located on the west side of Roger Lane approximately 110 feet north of the FM 969 right-of-way. The property is comprised of two lots zoned SF-2 developed with one house. The applicant proposes rezoning the lots in order to replace the single house with four residences (One primary residence and one accessory dwelling unit (ADU) per lot). Properties to the north, south and east are zoned SF-2 and the majority of these properties are developed with single family residences. To the west of the property is undeveloped land zoned LR-MU. Other nearby undeveloped properties include a SF-6-CO tract to the northwest and a LR-MU-CO property to the southeast. Please see Exhibits A and B— Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the proposed SF-3 rezoning district. This will allow a total of 4 dwelling units, instead of a maximum of two (one per lot). This will allow reasonable use of the property at a density comparable to most areas of the city. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses and should not result in detrimental impacts to the neighborhood character. Zoning changes should promote a balance of intensities and densities. Increasing the development potential of these two lots from 2 units to 4 units will remain compatible with surrounding properties and not result in detrimental impact to the area. 2. SF-3 zoning on this property will provide a balance of development intensities in the area. While most properties in the area are zoned SF-2, there are properties zoned LR-MU, SF-6-CO, and LR-MU-CO in the immediate vicinity. EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: ZONING LAND USES Site SF-2 North SF-2 South SF-2 Single family residential Single family residential East SF-2, LR-MU-CO Single family residential, undeveloped …

November 3, 2020 Sherri Sirwaitis City of Austin Housing and Planning Department 505 Barton Springs Road, Fifth Floor Austin, Texas 78704 Dear Ms. Sirwaitis: Re: Proposed Rezoning/Redevelopment of 13505 Burnet Road (Zoning Case C14-2020-0092) The following is in response to the above-referenced rezoning case initiated by David Hartman on behalf of Oden Hughes, LLC for the property located at 13505 Burnet Road in Austin, Texas. The property is currently zoned IP, and the applicant is seeking to rezone the property in order to proceed with development of a multifamily project. Our community, consisting of residents who live along Anarosa Loop, is located directly east of the proposed multifamily development and therefore will be the primary adjacent residents affected by the approval of this project. We have had four meetings, and additional dialogue, between members of the applicant Oden Hughes development team and members of our residential community since September 2020 to understand the many facets of the proposed development including aesthetics, function, and other key aspects of the proposed development.. A big part of these conversations has been to focus on solutions for areas of concern to the residents that live along Anarosa Loop. The team has worked with us, collaboratively, in an effort to address our concerns in regard to proximity and placement of buildings along the eastern property line, as well as making an effort to propose a development that will honor the residential feel of our existing community. We have had productive conversation to that effect, and are continuing to work towards a final agreement with the development team. We have provided our latest working draft of pledged site upgrades as has been agreed upon thus far with Oden Hughes and residents along Anarosa Loop. We understand that the attached list will continue to evolve, and once completed would be memorialized in a private Restrictive Covenant that will be signed prior to City Council approval of third reading of the related rezoning ordinance, and other appropriate documentation. Therefore, we are in favor of supporting a continued productive dialogue between the community and the development team, and hope to continue on the path to full support of the project pending the continuing success of this dialogue. Sincerely, Residents of Anarosa Loop PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 13505 Burnet Road (C14-2020-0092) 1. Building Height and Juliet Balconies Adjacent to Eastern Property Line. a.

Zoning and Platting Commission Q & A Report B-2 Question Commission King / Response Staff: 1. The staff is recommending LI-CO zoning, with a CO limiting the site to IP district uses. Therefore, the site development standards would be determined by the LI district. Please see the attached Commercial Site Development Standards Table. The difference between the IP and LI district are the minimum lot size, setbacks and building coverage. The maximum height, impervious cover and permitted FAR are the same in both districts. This property will be subject to compatibility standards along the south and east property lines. 2. The property under consideration is undeveloped. It has not been developed previously, therefore there are no hazardous materials on the site. The intended use is an industrial use, not a residential use, so testing and remediation would not be required. 3. a. All of the property owners, renters and registered neighborhood associations within 500 feet of the subject tract have been sent notification of the rezoning request as required by the Code (please see the attached notification list). b. The property manager for the manufactured housing park to the south contacted Heather c. Chaffin, the previous case manager, when the case was filed to request information concerning the case. I have not heard from the adjacent mobile home parks since the Notice of Public Hearing was mailed out. I am unaware of any recent cases where staff recommended industrial zoning adjacent to a manufactured housing park. This property has been zoned for industrial uses since December of 1989. The staff is proposing to maintain the list of IP district permitted uses on the site from the 1989 zoning ordinance.
