ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: GR-MU DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2022-0037 (3131 E Howard Lane) ADDRESS: 3131 East Howard Lane ZONING FROM: W/LO SITE AREA: 1.6 acres (69,696 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Peter Pham Phuong CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends LR-MU, Neighborhood Commercial-Mixed Use Combining District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 19, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 10B-1 C14-2022-0037 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently undeveloped. It was annexed by the City of Austin on December 31, 2007 (Case C7a-07-024) and received permanent W/LO zoning through zoning case C14-2016-0119. The lots to the north across E. Howard Lane have an interim zoning designation, I-SF-4A, and are developed with a single family residences (Cantarra Residential Subdivision). To the south, there is undeveloped land that is zoned W/LO. To the east there is a platted single family residential subdivision that is designated as Mixed Density Residential in the Pioneer Crossing PUD. The tract of land directly to the west is zoned W/LO and there are parcels of land located in the county. The applicant is requesting Community Commercial-Mixed Use District, zoning to develop condominium residential and retail uses on the property. The staff is recommending LR-MU, Neighborhood Commercial-Mixed Use Combining District, zoning for this site. The site under consideration meets the intent of the LR-MU district. The proposed LR-MU zoning will allow for low intensity commercial and residential uses on a tract of land that fronts onto an arterial roadway, East Howard Lane. The zoning will provide a transition across Howard Lane, to the planned residential uses to the north in the platted Cantarra Residential Neighborhood and to the east to the Mixed Residential Area in the Pioneer Crossing PUD. As the property is not located at an intersection, with more than one access point, LR-MU is more appropriate zoning designation adjacent to existing low density residential uses and office zoning. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Neighborhood Commercial district is intended for neighborhood shopping facilities which provide limited business service and office facilities predominately for the convenience of residents of the neighborhood. Mixed Use combining district is intended for combination with selected base districts, in order to permit any combination of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. 2. …

PROPERTY OWNER: State of Texas (Kyle Madsen) APPLICANT: Avery Land Investors, LP (Alex Clarke) AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Alice Glasco) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MF-4, Multifamily Residence-Moderate-High Density, District zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 19, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 13B-2 C14-2022-0074 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is undeveloped and moderately vegetated. This 6.182 acre tract of land is located near the intersection of Avery Ranch Boulevard and North Lake Creek Parkway. To the north and east, there are single-family residential lots (zoned PUD as part of the Avery Ranch Planned Unit Development). To the south of the site, there is undeveloped land and an office complex and state offices (Texas Department of Transportation Cedar Park Campus). The tract of land to the west is developed with a new multifamily residential complex (Avery Oaks Apartments). The applicant is requesting zoning to MF-4 to permit the development of an additional 164 multifamily residential units in this area. The staff recommends MF-4, Multifamily Residence-Moderate-High Density, District zoning because the property meets the purpose statement of the district. This tract of land is located adjacent to existing MF-4 zoning at the intersection of two arterial roadways, Avery Ranch Boulevard and North Lake Creek Parkway. The MF-4 zoning is compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses because there is MF-4 zoning to the south and west of the site. The property is located within the Transition zone of the Northwest Park & Ride Town Center Transit Oriented Development District (TOD) and by the Lakeline Station Regional Center as identified on the Growth Concept Map in the Image Austin Comprehensive Plan. MF-4 zoning will allow for additional housing opportunities in this area of the City adjacent to a planned transit oriented development (TOD) that will access onto the proposed extension of North Lake Creek Parkway. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Multifamily Residence (Moderate-High Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily and group residential use with a maximum density of 36 to 54 units per acre, depending on …

AGENT: St Elmo Brewing LLC (Bryan Winslow) CASE MANAGER: Michael Dietz; michael.dietz@austintexas.gov; (512) 974-7617 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant limited industrial services (LI) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see the Case Manager Comments section of this report. ZONING AND PLATTING ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 19, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 1, 2022 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of one platted lot, which is located near the intersection of Springdale Road and Tuscany Way, south of U.S Route 290. The site is currently zoned as interim rural residence (I-RR), representing a low-density residential zoning designation assigned as part of the property’s annexation in December 2004 (Ordinance No. 041118-13). A creek abuts the rear property lines, flowing approximately north to south. The subject site is mostly rectangular in shape, although the southwest corner juts inward, likely due to the curvature of the creek. The site is currently developed with a vacant two- 1 of 9B-5 C14-2022-0043 Page 2 story commercial building and large parking lot, with a concrete wall towards the rear to separate the parking lot from the vegetated area near the creek. Numerous trees are located towards the front of the property and along the northern property line. Springdale Road is partially within the Austin city limits, but also runs outside of the city limits; the area immediately to the south of the subject property is within the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). The portions of Springdale Road that are within the city limits feature primarily industrial uses, although there are also pockets of low-density residential uses and a small commercial corridor along U.S. Route 290. There are light industrial uses, including a truck rental business and plumbing supply store, to the north and west of the subject site (LI- CO). An undeveloped property zoned for low-density residential uses is to the east, across the road from the subject property (I-RR), although that property is surrounded by other properties zoned for limited industrial uses. The property to the south is undeveloped and is not located within the city limits. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 TO: P CASE: C14-2022-0063 – Walnut Creek WWTP Expansion ZONING FROM: SF-2 ADDRESS: 8001 Delwau Lane SITE AREA: 1.0226 acres (44,546 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: City of Austin – Water Department AGENT: Rebecca Vento, P.E. CASE MANAGER: Michael Dietz; michael.dietz@austintexas.gov; (512) 974-7617 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant public (P) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see the Case Manager Comments section of this report. ZONING AND PLATTING ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 19, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 1, 2022 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of one unplatted lot, which is located south of Delwau Lane, near the property at 8400 Delwau Lane, and is currently zoned as single family – standard lot (SF-2). It appears that access to the property was historically taken from an unpaved driveway off of Delwau Lane. However, it should also be noted that the 1995 field notes submitted by the applicant include a sketch that indicates the presence of an “apparent private right-of-way easement” on the west side of the property, near a house that no longer exists on-site, indicating that some site access may have been taken from the adjacent property to the west in the past, as well. 1 of 7B-6 C14-2022-0063 Page 2 According to the agent, the existing property features existing infrastructure for the Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (“WWTP”), although most of the infrastructure is located below the finished grade. In particular, the subject site features an outfall structure, where a 96’’ subterranean effluent pipe terminates and discharges into the Colorado River. The subject site is mostly rectangular in shape and is currently undeveloped, aside from the aforementioned wastewater treatment infrastructure, most of which is underground. A 5-foot- wide electric easement bifurcates the site, running from the north property line to the east property line. Delwau Lane features a broad range of uses, including residential, commercial, industrial, and public land uses of varying intensities. There is a vehicular racetrack designed for motorsports, although the business operating the track has since closed, located primarily to the northeast. The parcels comprising the track feature different zoning designations (GO, LI, GR, and IP). To the east, more land is owned by the City of Austin and used for the Walnut Creek WWTP (P); this land is also to the …

For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see the Case Manager Comments section of this report. ZONING AND PLATTING ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 19, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 1, 2022 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of one platted lot, which is located near the intersection of Bluff Springs Road and Tranquilo Trail and is currently zoned as single family – small lot – conditional overlay (SF-4A-CO) district (C14-98-0224 – Ordinance No. 990506-65). The Conditional Overlay serves to restrict the project site and all other existing and previously authorized uses within the combining district to a maximum cumulative total of 2,000 vehicular trips per day and also to prohibit vehicular access from the subject property to Dakota Lane. 1 of 8B-7 C14-2022-0067 Page 2 It should also be noted that a Longhorn Pipeline gas easement is recorded over the subject property, as verified by the submitted survey. The easement requires a 50-foot building setback from the gas lines and additional building construction and design standards may be required for the proposed residential units, including the installation of fire sprinklers, a restriction on the proposed locations of windows, and limitations on construction materials designed to ensure that fire-resistive materials are used. The subject site is mostly triangular in shape and is currently undeveloped. Bluff Springs Road primarily features residential uses of varying densities. There are apartments to the west of the site (CS-MU-CO), single-family residences to the north and east (SF-4A-CO), and an automotive repair use to the south (I-RR). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). The applicant has requested townhouse & condominium (SF-6) district zoning. The application indicates that the applicant intends to construct seven residential units on the property. The SF-6 district does not establish a maximum density or floor area ratio for each lot. However, the district does identify a maximum building height of 35 feet and a maximum building coverage of 40%. The …

At that time, the City of Austin attached TIA requirements via conditional overlay (CO) instead of via public restrictive covenant (RC). Staff recommends that the property remain subject to the TIA; City of Austin Law Department will determine whether a CO or RC is appropriate to tie the TIA to the property. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Dessau Road and Arborside Drive. The undeveloped property is currently zoned MF-3-CO, with the CO attaching TIA requirements as described in the Issues section. An unconstructed road right-of-way (ROW) is along the south side of the property (Edgeworth Bend), and unnamed streets are located along the east property lines. Property to the south and southeast is zoned MF-4 and includes undeveloped land and multifamily land uses. East of the rezoning tract are undeveloped SF-6-CO tracts; further northeast of the property are SF-6-CO tracts that are developed with small lot single family residences.

MEMORANDUM Date: To: CC: Reference: Transportation Impact Analysis Final Memo June 27, 2022 Santiago Araque, P.E., Kimley-Horn and Associates. Inc. Bryan Golden, Maria Cardenas, Austin Transportation Department Alta Blue Goose Zoning Case Number C14-2021-0194C Summary of the Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA): Austin Transportation Department (ATD) has reviewed the “Alta Blue Goose TIA” dated February 18, 2022, and the subsequent update received on April 14, 2022 prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. The proposed development is in Travis County, north of Blue Goose Road between Cameron Road and Harris Branch Parkway in the City of Austin Extra Territorial Jurisdiction, as shown in Figure 2. The site is currently on land being rezoned and annexed concurrently. The development is anticipated to contain 890 single-family dwelling units and a 300,000 square foot commercial shopping center. The project includes the future alignment of Braker Lane as per the ASMP and the future realignment of Blue Goose Road. It should be noted that the section of Blue Goose Road that is proposed to be realigned is in Travis County jurisdiction. The existing site is vacant and is expected to be built in one phase. It is estimated that the full buildout will be completed in the year 2024. A TIA was performed for this zoning case to better understand the existing and future traffic patterns in the surrounding area and to identify any potential impacts from the introduction of traffic associated with the proposed development. The site proposes access onto future Braker Lane, which is classified as a Level 3 collector street with 120 feet of required right- of-way. Braker Lane is anticipated to be a 4-lane roadway with approximately 26 feet of pavement width for vehicular travel lanes, 2 lanes in each direction, a buffered bike lane, and sidewalk on both sides. The roadway will be divided by a median of approximately 14 feet width from face of curb to face of curb. Bike lanes and 6-foot sidewalks will be adjacent to the road, divided by a 4-foot-wide buffer in both directions of travel. Figure 1: Future Braker Lane Page 1 of 6 As a transportation condition of approval for the above referenced zoning application, the applicant shall comply with the recommendations below: 1. Dedicate 120 feet of right-of-way per the ASMP for future Braker Lane at the time of final plat. 2. Design and construct Braker Lane extension and the realignment of Blue …

Zoning and Platting Commission Resolution (King version 2) Floodplain Commercial Redevelopment Exception Code Amendments Whereas the new National Oceanic Atmospheric Association “NOAA” ATLAS 14 rainfall information indicated increased rainfall levels within the City of Austin and the city adopted new regulations in an effort to protect the residents from flooding based on a better understanding of flood risk with this new rainfall information; and, Whereas the Austin City Council directed City staff, boards, and commissions to initiate public processes to consider proposed code amendments to City floodplain regulations based on Atlas 14 floodplain data; and Whereas The City of Austin contacted more than 2,700 people at 110 different meetings and following that outreach on November 14, 2019 the City of Austin adopted new regulations with four basic elements: • Floodplain definitions, • Residential redevelopment exception, • Colorado River exception, • Increased Freeboard, and Whereas A significant number of residential and commercial properties are in the floodplain and that number increased when the new Atlas 14 regulations were adopted; and Whereas the key goals of the code amendments are to increase public safety and decrease flood risks; and, Whereas the City Council and City of Austin are committed to equity in the development and implementation of land development policies and code amendments.

Improving Connectivity Resolution Zoning and Platting Commission Whereas; Priority Program 1 in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan calls for “investment in a compact and connected city through the coordination of capital investments, incentives, and regulations;” and Whereas; according to the 2020 Imagine Austin Compact and Connected Indicators, developed land area, annual unlinked transit passenger trips, vehicle miles traveled per capita, percentage of trips by biking and walking, and transportation system total annual delay are all “headed in the wrong direction;” and Whereas; fatalities, serious injuries, and total crashes in Austin have increased year over year in the Austin area since 2018; and Whereas; designing communities with options for bicycling and walking increases opportunities for physical activity, especially for children and families; and Whereas; car ownership in Texas costs almost $10,000 a year; and Whereas; dead-end streets and disconnected networks increase vehicle miles traveled and time spent in the car, which have been associated with obesity, decreased opportunities for active travel, stress, impacts on mental health, less time to spend with family and friends, and less time to engage in community activities. Whereas, connected street networks help reduce traffic on major thoroughfares, are cheaper to build and maintain; and Whereas a connected street grid makes walking, biking, and transit use more desirable options; and Whereas, the way streets are laid out now determines the pattern for future growth; and Whereas subdivisions with too few access streets results in dangerous situations in the event of flooding or wildfires; and Therefore, be it resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission recommend that the Austin City Council seek to revise and amend Land Development Code sections § 25-4-151 through § 25-4-157 to meet the intent of Imagine Austin Priority Program and seek to enhance connectivity and affordability in new subdivision design; and Be it further resolved that the proposed changes recommended by the Zoning and Platting Commission are: 1. § 25-4-151 – Require connections and alignment of all stub out streets of a new subdivision to existing or proposed streets. If street connection infeasible, provide connection through a multi- use trail; and 2. § 25-4-152 – Prohibit dead-end streets and/or cul-de-sacs unless the director determines that topography, natural features, or unusual conditions make connection to an existing or proposed street infeasible; and 3. § 25-4-152 – If allowed by the director, a dead-end street and/or cul-de-sac must be no longer than 300 feet and …
