ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0152 – Pearce Gardens Retail ZONING FROM / TO: LR-CO, to remove the 3,200 daily vehicle trip limit ADDRESS: 12800 Pearce Lane SITE AREA: 3.95 acres PROPERTY OWNER: GAB Partners, Inc. DISTRICT: 2 (Sufian Emmar) AGENT: MADC, LLC (Carl McClendon) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant neighborhood commercial – conditional overlay (LR- CO) combining district zoning and remove the Conditional Overlay that limits the number of daily vehicle trips to 3,200. The Conditional Overlay continues to prohibit residential treatment. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 16, 2021: February 16, 2021: MEETING CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER; RENOTIFICATION REQUIRED CITY COUNCIL ACTION: March 25, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The rezoning area is a platted lot located at the northeast corner of Pearce Lane and Ross Road, both of which are classified as minor arterial roadways. It has had neighborhood commercial – conditional overlay (LR-CO) district zoning since December 2005 and contains a service station, food sales and retail sales uses on the east side of the property, and an undeveloped area on the west side. The property is surrounded by a manufactured home park to the west (MH-CO), property under construction for apartments to the north (GR-MU- 1 of 17B-2 C14-2020-0152 Page 2 CO; LR-MU-CO), and single family residences to the east and across Pearce Lane to the south (I-SF-2; I-SF-4A). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial View). The Applicant requests removal of the Conditional Overlay (-CO) for a 3,200 daily vehicle trip limit established with the 2005 rezoning ordinance as a necessary step prior to constructing site plan improvements that include an additional 10,000 square feet of retail sales use. Austin Transportation Department staff approved a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) with a 2006 site plan application and more recently approved a waiver to the requirement for a new TIA provided the 3,200 daily vehicle trip limit is removed, and the property is subject to the traffic mitigation requirements adopted into Code in 2017. Please refer to the Applicant’s correspondence and TIA waiver attached as Exhibit D. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The neighborhood commercial – conditional overlay (LR-CO) district …

Tudor Revival architecture was a very popular style in the first half of the 20th century, and was one of the “period” revival styles that embodied ties with historic traditions and cultures, representing strength and stability. Tudor Revival homes were generally 1 of 24B-3 constructed with brick or stone veneer, had steeply-pitched roofs, and in many cases, round- arched entryways and unusual window configurations, including diamond-paned casements and lunettes. The Threadgill House reflects much of the character-defining features of the Tudor Revival style with its stone veneer, segmental-arched entry, and steeply-pitched roofs, both in the principal side-gabled main roof and the smaller gablet framing the entry door. Historical Associations: This is the home that Kenneth and Mildred Threadgill lived in from around 1945 until around 1984. Kenneth Threadgill was a legend in Austin’s music history, as the proprietor of a gas station/beer joint on North Lamar Boulevard, where he hosted jam sessions among Austin’s musicians, including the young Janis Joplin, who made her stage debut at Threadgill’s before moving to San Francisco.

Neighborhood concerns about 1434 Genoa Drive rezoning (C14-2020-0131) 5.2 acres in far South Austin. Existing zoning: DR. Proposed: MF-5. See reference materials at https://texasoaksneighborhood.com/zap. No Direct Access to Slaughter Lane All multifamily zoning along Slaughter Lane, Menchaca, S. Congress, and S. First has direct access to a major arterial street. The subject parcel does not. Access to Slaughter requires travel through two level- one streets. Safety should be a priority Our neighborhood has significant fire and flood risk, limited access, and a failed intersection The impacts of the proposed development contradict the City of Austin Vision Zero and Strategic Mobility Plan, which direct decision-makers to "Prioritize the protection of human life over all else in the planning, design, and operation of Austin's transportation network." Due to unique geographic constraints, all of the current 1,665 households, two churches, and all future developments rely on Bilbrook and David Moore Drive. The NTA states that the Slaughter Lane / Bilbrook intersection is already at capacity and there is no room for additional improvements. ▪ The November 2020 TIA for the approved SF6 Messinger project shows that even with the agreed mitigation strategies the Bilbrook/Slaughter intersection will have an LOS of F (fail) in the AM and PM hours and a delay of 329.9. Bilbrook provides the primary access and is the only west bound option for the entire 623-acre area . ▪ Additional traffic on Bilbrook will impact daily commuter safety and delay or potentially block emergency vehicle access and neighborhood evacuation routes needed for fire and flood. FPT will significantly increase the delay and exacerbate the inherent safety concerns with failed intersections. ▪ The Bilbrook and Slaughter intersection experienced a 400% increase in crashes from 2017 to 2018. ATD has identified Slaughter as is one of 13 high-injury roadways in Austin. ▪ The capacity of David Moore Drive is limited. Traffic exiting the neighborhood can only turn east from David Moore onto Slaughter, which will have a LOS of E and a 35.8 delay. The road is often blocked by traffic on Slaughter stopped at Texas Oaks Drive. This level one street can be accessed only through other neighborhood residential streets that have parking on both sides and inadequate width for commuter traffic. The Slaughter Lane RR Overpass Bridge has been identified by Austin Public Works as requiring “immediate rehabilitation or replacement.” The proposed development is directly adjacent to the bridge.
