For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 18, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 10, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject undeveloped tract is located at the terminus of Damon Road on a platted, unbuilt cul de sac, and zoned development reserve (DR) district. Damon Road contains several single family residences on standard lots zoned DR upon annexation in the mid-1980s. There are large tracts to the north that have frontage on Albert Road (DR) and a condominium development under construction to the south which takes its primary access to Dittmar Road further south (SF-6-CO). The Union Pacific Railroad tracks border this property to the west. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial Exhibit) and B (Adjoining Subdivision Plat). The Applicant has requested family residence (SF-3) district zoning in order to build two residences on the property. 1 of 13B-4 C14-2021-0035 Page 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single-family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. A duplex use that is designated in an SF-3 district is subject to development standards that maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. 2. The requested SF-3 zoning would allow for two residences on the property. Staff recommends the Applicant’s request because the tract meets the intent of the SF-3 district as it fronts on a local residential street and is located within an existing single family residential neighborhood. EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. ZONING LAND USES DR Site North DR South East …

If approved, the RCA would allow residential land uses and eliminate some vehicular access restrictions. The Applicant has stated that they intend to develop the property utilizing Affordability Unlocked. Granting of the GR-MU request does not obligate the Applicant to use Affordability Unlocked. Please see Exhibit C- Applicant Letter. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the east side of Ed Bluestein Boulevard between Loyola Lane and Manor Road, slightly south of Purple Sage Drive. Most of the undeveloped property is zoned GR (8.27 acres), while a small strip along the northern boundary is zoned SF-3 (0.99 acres). To the north is a residential neighborhood that is zoned SF-3 and will trigger compatibility standards. This neighborhood is primarily developed with duplex residences and LBJ High School. Immediately to the south and east is undeveloped land zoned GR-MU. A small tributary to Walnut Creek is located adjacent to the southern tract boundary; no floodplain or creek buffers are associated with this tributary. Further west are undeveloped properties zoned SF-2-CO. Immediately west of the property is Ed Bluestein Boulevard; across Ed Bluestein Boulevard are properties zoned GR-V-NP, GR-NP, and GR-MU-CO-NP.

East of the tributary is undeveloped land zoned SF-2-CO. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. In 1976, a restrictive covenant (RC) was placed on a 24.34 acre tract of land that includes this 9.26 acre site. No changes are proposed for the remaining 15.08 acres under the RC. For this property, the RC prohibited any land use that is not permitted under GR zoning.

(Javier Barajas) ZONING: Not applicable (ETJ) NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN: Not applicable AREA: 10.08 acres LOTS: 9 COUNTY: Travis DISTRICT: Not applicable WATERSHED: Slaughter Creek JURISDICTION: ETJ SIDEWALKS: Sidewalks will be constructed along the subdivision side of Flintrock Circle. VARIANCE: None DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The request is for the approval of the Flintrock Subdivision, consisting of 9 lots on 10.08 acres. This property was previously platted as the Stoneridge Estates Subdivision. The plat vacation for Stoneridge Estates (C8J-2008-0195.0A(VAC) is also being considered by ZAP and recommended for approval. Because this property falls within the City’s ETJ, this application was reviewed under Title 30: Austin/Travis County Subdivision Regulations. Title 30 does not require variance or driveway/utility plans for flag lots. Note: This plat is not subject to the State H.B. 3167 timelines or approval processes, as the application was received prior to those rule changes. Also, this application was extended under the old process due to delays and has remained active under mayoral orders for deadline extensions during the pandemic. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Flintrock Subdivision plat. This plat meets all applicable State and City of Austin LDC requirements.

MEMORANDUM TO: Chair Barrera Ramirez and members of the Zoning and Platting Commission FROM: Steve Hopkins, Planning Officer, LUR subdivision review supervisor DATE: May 18, 2021 SUBJECT: Options available to the ZAP for action on subdivision applications At the hearing on May 4, the Zoning and Platting Commission requested a briefing from staff regarding options available for action on subdivision applications. This memo will outline the options available to the Commission for action on subdivision applications and will clarify the staff recommendations. As used in this memo, the terms “Land Use Commission” and “Commission” refer to the Zoning and Platting Commission and the Planning Commission. Both Commissions have the same authority to act on a subdivision application. The term “subdivision application” refers to an application for a preliminary plan or final plat. Below is a summary of the options available to the Land Use Commission for action on subdivision applications per the 2019 State Law HB3167: Option 1: Disapprove for Reasons. This means the application requires changes that necessitate additional technical review and may impact other facets of code and criteria. If a plat has been Disapproved for Reasons, the next update is required to return to the commission at a hearing. Option 2: Approve with Conditions. This means the plat will comply with all requirements after certain conditions are met. The conditions will be limited to routine administrative items which require no discretion, such as recording an easement or posting fiscal surety. If a plat is Approved with Conditions, the next update does not need to return to the commission at a hearing. Option 3: Approve as Submitted. This means staff has found the application complies with code and criteria and is ready to be approved. A postponement, lack of a quorum, or other failure to take action as outlined above, would result in the automatic approval of the application as submitted. The city must act on a subdivision application, as outlined above, within 30 calendar days of initial submittal. The city must act on updates within 15 days. All subdivision applications have the same deadline whether they are administrative or require a hearing with the Land Use Commission. If a hearing is required for the initial submittal, it will occur on the 30th day. If a hearing is required for an update, it will occur on the 14th day. The backup provided to the Commission prior to the …

From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Attachments: Terry Mitchell Rivera, Andrew Rhoades, Wendy; Myra Goepp Planning commission speaker Tuesday, May 18, 2021 9:55:10 AM image001[53].png *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Andrew, I have been out of town for several days and realized that the Goodnight zoning is coming up on the Planning Commission agenda tonight: I realize this is too late for me to sign up and speak, but I wanted to register my support for this zoning case: C814-04-0187.02.SH – Goodnight Ranch PUD – 2nd Amendment; District 2 Here are my reasons for supporting this request: As a nation, the median new home sales price was $397,000 last month. That means that households making $110,000 can barely qualify. If interest rates climb to 4.5%, households must make around $120,000 to qualify. If interest rates go to 6%, households will need to earn about $132,000. In Austin, the median new home price is higher. The median “existing home price” (always lower) is $425,000 in the entire metro area and inside the City is $515,000. That means that a household must around $116,500 to afford the median existing home in the entire metro area, or about $137,750 to afford the median home price inside the City limits. This requested amendment allows Goodnight Ranch to provide a denser housing product that will reach households earning around $35,000 and up. Our company is seeking to provide this housing. It is an incontrovertible fact that to lower price of housing, a developer has just two tools – the developer can increase the density (that is what we are doing) and, second, make the units smaller (again, we are doing this). By using both of these strategies, we are seeking to serve the majority of our households, not just the top 20 to 30% of our households.

Nuestra area es muy tranquila y tiene un muy buen hambiente familiar creo que un parque recreacional seria una major opcion, Our area is very quiet and has a good family atmosphere. I think a recreational park would be a better option. Además los caminos no están bien diseñados para soportar el aumento de trafico con el transito de vehiculos acutal. Furthermore, the roads were not designed to withstand the increase in traffic with the vehicles currently on the road. Hay demasiado accidentes. There are too many accidents.
Zoning Change opposition statement from Kristina & Jeff (Thanks to Kristina for summarizing the below statement): As an individual home-owner in the affected area, I am opposed to allowing a rezoning of the property in question, to MF-4. Based on all of the provided information, I do not feel this level of rezoning request is a good match for our surrounding SF neighborhood. It would not compliment, nor enhance the immediate area, & would inevitably produce more strain, on existing issues/concerns. I certainly do not want to ruin the potential chances of my fellow neighbors securing a promise, & solution to their privacy concerns, or current flooding issues caused by this property. However, I do not agree that a moderate to high density, 4-story structure (much less three, 4-story buildings, in addition to 2 & 3-story units) is the right fit, for our single family, 1-2 story neighborhood. I understand the purpose of building housing on main arteries. Currently the main artery, this proposed property feeds on to (S.1st), is already inundated, often making it extremely difficult to turn left. The required streetlight for the development serves only to benefit itself, & Great Britain, not the closest neighborhood surrounding the proposed area. The lesser, east/west connecting streets (Dittmar & Ralph Ablanedo), are both just 2 lanes, & not sufficient for the added traffic burden this development would bring. Additionally, Ralph Ablanedo has 2 EMS stations, & Dittmar already has a choke point on the bridge over the Boggy Creek watershed. Neither street would benefit from traffic backing up. Without improvement to the city’s infrastructure, concerns remain regarding stress added to the area’s already inadequate drainage. While potential on-site solutions may be addressed by the developer, regarding the directional flow of sheeting (to alleviate current, direct neighbor flooding), the overall estimated volume would only potentially be decreased by 10%. Output is still fully being directed to the cul-de-sac on Orr. We have already seen flooding in this area, as well as over Mario, without the additional impervious cover of the new development. Personally, I intentionally opted to purchase a home in a neighborhood zoned for single family, with mostly homeowners. Even rental homes are still single-family dwellings. I greatly value the personal & financial investment my fellow neighbors have made, in our neighborhood. An apartment complex, with 100% rental units, will only provide our neighborhood with an eternal ebb & flow …

May 18, 2021 ZAP Question and Answer Report B-01 Commissioner Denkler B-02 Why is the impervious cover listed as 50% for SF in the impervious cover table? Shouldn't it be 45%? B-03 C14-2020-0151 - 8401 - 8407 South 1st Street; District 2 Commissioner Smith: 1. I understand the homeowners in the vicinity of Orr Drive and Beaver Brook Lane currently experience flooding in connection with 2-year storm events. The applicant has proposed the following drainage improvements in connection with the proposed multifamily project. a. Regrade. Regrade the site along the north and east property lines and construct a retaining wall system at the perimeter to prevent water from sheet-flowing onto neighboring properties. The retaining wall system consists of a rock wall approximately 3’ in height, with a 6’ solid wood fence on top (total of 9’ high). b. Reroute. Provide a drainage easement along south and east property lines to redirect and slow sheet flows that are otherwise traveling unabated across the subject property. c. Improve Orr Drive inlet. Rework existing inlet at Orr Drive and provide a level-spreader that will limit stormwater within the right-of-way, thereby preventing it from surging onto neighboring homeowners properties during a 100-year flood event. d. Overdetain. Construct a subterranean detention pond onsite that is oversized more than required by City Code to capture on-site flows, in addition to reducing current off- site peak flow rates by 10%. Please comment as to whether the above drainage improvements address existing drainage issues and will improve the existing drainage condition experienced by neighbors located adjacent to the Property along Orr Drive and Beaver Brook Lane. Staff Response: The attached drainage area map shows the drainage for the proposed site at 8401 S 1st. Currently the site drains directly into the residential houses to the north. The proposed development, which you can see highlighted on the second sheet, is currently proposing to capture all flows and release them into the right of way on Orr Drive. This will completely take drainage off of the residential lots that drains directly onto their properties. They also propose to decrease the total flow that drains through their site. However, the site proposes to increase flow at Orr Drive which would require a waiver. As part of the drainage criteria manual requirements, there should be no increase in point discharge from any point of the development. The engineer has met with a …
