For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: July 6, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 18B-5 C14-88-0137(RCT) 2 ISSUES: A rezoning request has been filed in conjunction with the restrictive covenant amendment (City File # C14-2021-0087). 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. These properties include retail uses (including a grocery store), undeveloped property, and civic land uses (Boys and Girls Club). Immediately to the east is a small tributary to Walnut Creek that has 100-year floodplain and a 200' wide creek buffer centered on the tributary. East of the tributary is undeveloped land zoned SF-2-CO. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. In 1988-1989, a restrictive covenant (RC) was placed on the property in conjunction with a rezoning from GR to LI-CO. The RC references SF-3 zoning across Johnny Morris Road, however there is no longer any SF-3 zoning across the street (now zoned MH). The RC requires that access to the subject tract be designed to minimize traffic conflicts with the SF-3 tract; current Code requires that all driveways be designed to minimize traffic conflicts. The RC also references a future “MoKan Expressway” alignment that was anticipated adjacent to the subject …

June 14, 2021 Zoning and Platting Commission City of Austin RE: Letter of Opposition to Item B-3, 11705 Research Blvd.; Rezoning Case C14-2020-0146 Dear Commissioners: We are opposed to the rezoning of 11705 Research Boulevard until there is a plan to solve the serious traffic congestion and safety issues on the adjacent portion of the US Highway 183 NB service road. The headquarters of our organization, the Texas Association of School Boards, Inc. (TASB), is located just 0.3 miles northbound from the subject property, adjacent to the same service road. Our employees, tenants, and visitors already have a difficult time safely entering and exiting the parking lot with the high traffic volumes and crossing three lanes of traffic to get onto the on-ramp for the highway, and this situation will worsen if the proposed rezoning were approved. In 1990, the City Council approved the rezoning of the property to LI-CO, with conditions that reflected traffic concerns at that time. Now, nearly 30 years later, those concerns are substantially worse, and yet the applicant is requesting to lift much of the conditional overlay even though the population of the metropolitan area has increased from 846,227 in 1990 to 2,295,303 as of 2020. To summarize our concerns: 1. The General Warehousing and Distribution, Equipment Sales, and Equipment Repair Services uses should be prohibited on the entire property, since these uses would likely increase the volume of large trucks on the frontage road. 2. The projected traffic from the redevelopment of the larger overall 3M property is 16,136 trips per day. Because the property is just one portion of the overall 3M property, a decision on the proposed rezoning should consider the impact of the redevelopment of the entire 3M property, and there should be increased protections against traffic issues—not fewer. 3. The conditional overlay setting a maximum height of 40 feet should remain in place; otherwise there could be a more intensive development, which would further exacerbate the traffic issues. 4. We have seen no plan that would actually address the traffic issues, and the rezoning should be denied until there is a proven solution that is required to be implemented. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, James. B. Crow Executive Director
