Rainosek, Frank A. Miller, Walter John Miller AGENT: McLean & Howard, LLP (Jeffrey S. Howard) DISTRICT: 5 ZONING TO: MF-3 CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant multifamily residence – low density (MF-2) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 17, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: December 10, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Applicant is in agreement with the Staff recommendation. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property is 13.92 acres and located on Old San Antonio Road, a two-lane roadway just west of IH-35 approximately one mile south of Slaughter Lane. For context, the Southpark Meadows development is further north (CS-CO). The property slopes gradually towards Slaughter Creek which generally follows the west property line, contains several groupings of trees and one single family residence. The property has been zoned interim – rural residence (I-RR) district since annexation into the City limits in 1997. Please refer to Exhibits A and A-1 – Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The property is surrounded by an undeveloped tract and recently occupied Park and Recreation Department (PARD) offices to the north (GR-MU-CO; P; P-H); apartments and Akins High School football fields to the east (MF-2; MF-2-CO; I-RR); one single family 1 of 12B-1 C14-2020-0116 Page 2 residence and the Akins High School campus to the south (I-RR); and Slaughter Creek and apartments to the west (GR-MU-CO; MF-2-CO). The Applicant proposes to zone the property to the multi-family residence – medium density (MF-3) district so that it may be developed with approximately 197 apartment units.

Staff Recommendation: The multi-family residence low density (MF-2) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of 23 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near single family neighborhoods or in an area for which low density multifamily use is desired. The Applicant is in agreement to the Staff recommendation. 1. 2. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. 3. Zoning should be consistent with approved and …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0090 (Johnny Morris Road Rezoning) DISTRICT: 1 ZONING FROM: SF-2 TO: GR-MU* *Please see applicant’s request to amend the rezoning application to GR-MU-CO in the Issues section below and in Exhibit C. ADDRESS: 7008 Johnny Morris Road SITE AREA: 4.059 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Arabon Real Estate, LLC AGENT: Thrower Design LLC (A. Ron Thrower) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends LO-MU, Limited Office-Mixed Use Combining District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 17, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-21 of 12 ISSUES: On November 11, 2020, the applicant sent an e-mail to the staff stating that they wanted to amend their rezoning request to GR-MU-CO (see Exhibit C). The applicant is proposing a conditional overlay to prohibit the following uses: • Automotive Rentals • Automotive Repair Services • Automotive Sales • Automotive Washing (of any type) • Exterminating Services • Pawn Shop Services • Drive-thru fast-food CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 4+ acre tract of land that is currently zoned SF-2 and developed with a single family residence fronting onto Johnny Morris Road. To the north, there is the Walnut Creek Greenbelt that is zoned P and lots that are developed with single-family residences zoned SF-4A. The lots to the east, across Johnny Morris Road, are also developed with single-family residential uses zoned SF-2. To the south, there is a developing multifamily use with amenities that was recently zoned GR-MU-CO through case C14-2018- 0117 – please see Area Case Histories below (Loyola Loft Apartments). The tract of land to the west contains a single-family home and undeveloped area. The applicant stated in their rezoning application that they are requesting GR-MU zoning to develop an office use at this location. The staff recommends LO-MU zoning for the site under consideration. The property meets the intent of the purpose statement for the Limited Office-Mixed Use Combining District as the LO district is intended for office and civic uses that serve neighborhood or community needs. The proposed MU combining district will permit any combination of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. The proposed Limited Office-Mixed Use zoning will provide for a transition in the intensity of permitted uses/site development standards along Johnny Morris Road from the GR-MU- CO zoning at the arterial intersection of Loyola Lane and Johnny Morris Road to the SF-2 …

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 17, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 18B-3 C14-2020-0111 ISSUES: 2 The applicant provided the following additional information regarding the property (Exhibit C): 1. This property was subdivided in 2008 (C8J-2008-0107.0A - please see Related Cases below) and dedicated nearly 17 feet of land area for the future expansion of Morris Road. This dedication was to accommodate a planned 70-foot ROW for Morris Road and included 35 feet from the existing centerline. 2. At the time of Plat, a sidewalk was required along the entire frontage of Morris Road. This sidewalk has been built and is existing. 3. At the time of Plat, the owner of the property posted fiscal for future improvements to Morris Road. 4. The Plat that was approved by the City of Austin restricts land uses to non-residential only. See plat note 22. The applicant will be re-subdividing this property and that note will be removed or amended to allow the multi-family portion to be developed. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question consists of two tracts of land that front onto Morris Road. Tract 1 (4.91 acres) is an undeveloped area and Tract 2 (3.25 acres) is developed with a religious assembly use with associated parking.

The lot to the south is zoned GR-CO and is developed with a commercial retail center. The properties to the east and west are developed with single family/duplex residential uses (I-SF-2). The staff recommends MF-2, Multifamily Residence-Low Density District, zoning for Tract 1 and LO-MU, Limited Office-Mixed Use Combining District, zoning for Tract 2. The property in question is located on Level 1, residential street and does not have frontage on Anderson Mill Road. Therefore, LO-MU zoning and MF-2 …
From: Marcia Spillers < > Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2020 9:33 PM To: Sirwaitis, Sherri <Sherri.Sirwaitis@austintexas.gov> Subject: Case Number C14‐2020‐0111 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Ms. Sirwaitis, I am writing to you to ask for a postponement of the hearing of Case Number C14-2020-0111 on November 17, 2020, by the Zoning and Platting Commission, until December 15, 2020, or later. With Covid 19 cases growing daily, our neighborhood has not had the opportunity to discuss with each other this rezoning and the impact it would have upon our single-family neighborhood. In the event of a possible lockdown, this would place any chance of discussion in the future, until Covid 19 has been contained. Furthermore, I would like to see the plans for the proposed rezoning for a daycare and apartment complex at the church, including the number of units, the parking layout, and a traffic impact study if there is one. Again, with the Covid 19 virus, this is most likely not doable until the virus has been contained. Last, with the runoff of candidates for City Council slated in December, I feel this issue should be heard after the first of the year, when the council members are in place and have the time to consider this fully. To do otherwise, would be imprudent to say the least. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request, and I look forward to hearing from you on this matter. Sincerely, Marcia Spillers 13210 Villa Park Drive Austin, Texas 78729 512-217-0989

The TIA recommendations are included as Exhibit D to this report. 1 of 24B-4 2 ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 17, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 2 of 24B-4 3 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 128.84 acre tract of land located on the southeast corner of West Parmer Lane/State Highway 734 and Anderson Mill Road.

ZAP Q & A Report B-1 Commissioner King: B-01 - C14-2020-0116 – 10304 Old San Antonio Road - District 5 1. How many of the proposed 197 apartments will be: Income-restricted for families earning at or below 60% median family income? a. b. Efficiencies? c. One bedroom? d. Two bedrooms? e. Three bedrooms? f. Four bedrooms? development? high schools? 2. How much parkland dedication land and/or fee-in-lieu will be required for this 3. What impact will the proposed 197 apartments have on nearby elementary, middle, and 4. Are the proposed 197 apartment units based on MF-2 zoning recommended by staff or MF-3 zoning requested by the applicant? MF-2 zoning allows up to 23 units per acre compared to MF-3 zoning, which allows up to 36 units per acre. B-2 Vice-Chair Barrera Ramirez: Was any consideration given to providing some sort of crossing of Johnny Morris from the adjacent SF housing to your development? I've seen crosswalks with the sign that says, "Yield to Pedestrians." My concern is that this is between a middle school and an elementary school and if you are building something that people will want to get to, they'll have to cross the road. It is unlikely they will do so at the signal at Loyola. Did the transportation reviewer consider this, or make any comments regarding providing a safe crossing? Applicant Response: We recognize that pedestrian mobility is severely compromised in this area. The residents of the neighborhood have spent their entire existence in the area driving everywhere for services. Most drive to Mueller for groceries, as an example. The intent of the rezoning is to provide a palette of uses that is acceptable to the neighborhood needs and desires that will ultimately facilitate transformation of the area to a more pedestrian and bike friendly community. No one project can address the extensive needs to make all that happen, but each project can cumulatively affect change. That said, we will gladly engage with ATD at the time of site plan to explore ways to move people from one side of the street to another in as safe of a location as possible. B-4 Commissioner King: If the PDA amendment requested by the applicant is approved by Council, will the site plan for the hotel, residential units, restaurant, and retail development come to the Zoning and Platting Commission for review and approval? Applicant Response: This is the …
