Flores-1st, F. Portu-2nd. September 3, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2024-0101 ISSUES: 2 There is an associated restrictive covenant amendment case, C14-85-149.70.02, that will proceed in tandem with this rezoning application. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question consists of two tracts of land that make up 7.60 acres. Tract 1 is a 1.85 acre undeveloped area that is zoned GR-CO and fronts onto W. Parmer Lane. Tract 2 is a 5.75 acre lot that is currently developed with a religious assembly use (Parmer Lane Baptist Church), with a detention pond and surface parking zoned MF-2 that accesses Scofield Farms Drive. The lot to the north, at the southwest corner of Parmer Lane and Scofield Farms Drive, is zoned GR and is developed with a financial services use (Wells Fargo Bank). Further to the north, across W. Parmer Lane there is a retail shopping center with a food sales use (Hana World Market) that is also zoned GR. To the south there is an SF-2 zoned area that is undeveloped. The lots to the east, across Scofield Farms Drive are developed with an assisted living use (Parmer Woods at North Austin) zoned LO and a primary public school (River Oaks Elementary School) zoned MF-2 and SF-1. The lots to the west contain an automotive repair use (Austin Automotive Specialists), an undeveloped area zoned LR and duplex residences zoning SF-3. In this request the applicant is asking to rezone both tracts to GR-MU to allow for a multifamily project (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends the applicant’s request for Community Commercial-Mixed Use Combining District zoning. The property meets the intent of the district as it is accessible from a major arterial/highway and a collector roadway. The proposed zoning is compatible with the commercial …

CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed amendment of the public restrictive covenant. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 20, 2024: Postponed to September 3, 2024 at the applicant's request by consent (8-0, W. Floyd-off dais, R. Puzycki- absent); A. Flores-1st, F. Portu-2nd. September 3, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 ISSUES: N/A DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: In this case, the applicant is requesting to amend a public restrictive covenant associated with zoning case C14-85-149 and executed on June 17, 1986. The covenant that was approved with the North Lamar Area Study rezonings states and states that all detached single family dwelling units in the area that the public restrictive covenant covers zoned SF-2 must have a gross floor area of 1,400 square feet, all lots zoned SF-2 shall have a horizontal distance between the side lot lines of at least 65 feet measured at the front lot line and an average area of 7,00 square feet, all detached single family dwelling units zoned SF-2 shall be constructed of not less than 40% masonry, a wooden privacy fence shall be constructed along the eastern property line of lots adjacent to River Oak Lake Estates Section 7, any multiple family development constructed shall not exceed a density of 15 units per acre, the property particularly described in “Exhibit B” shall have only one access driveway onto Parmer Lane, the property particularly described in “Exhibit C” shall have no access driveway onto Parmer Lane and the property particularly described in “Exhibit D” shall only have one access driveway onto Parmer Lane (please see Redlined Public Restrictive Covenant – Exhibit D).

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: CS-1 DISTRICT: 10 CASE: C14-2024-0091 (Future Project) ADDRESS: 12530 Research Boulevard ZONING FROM: GR-MU, LO-MU SITE AREA: 1.41 acres (61,419.6 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER/APPLICANT: Gyro Plus LLC (Mohammed Arami) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends denial of the applicant’s request. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 3, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 2 C14-2024-0091 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 1.41 acre site that contains a vacant restaurant (former bicycle shop) and a small warehouse which fronts Research Boulevard/U.S. Highway 183 North. To the east, there is a retail center (Oak Knoll Village). The tract of land to the west contains an automotive repair use (Oak Knoll Automotive). The lots to the south, across Jollyville Road, are developed with duplex residences. The applicant is requesting CS-1 zoning to utilize the site with a restaurant or cocktail lounge use. The staff recommends denial of the applicant’s request. The proposed CS-1 zoning is not consistent with the US 183/Jollyville Road Area Study that was adopted by the City Council. The site under consideration is not located at an intersection of major streets where CS and CS-1 zoning is intended. In addition, the proposed zoning would contribute to an over zoning of the Commercial-Liquor Sales district in this area as there are already two CS-1 zoned pad sites adjacent to this tract in the Oak Knoll Village Shopping Center to the north. One of these suites is developed with a liquor sales use (Queen’s Liquor) and the other is currently vacant. There is also CS-1-CO zoning to the southeast, zoned through case C14-2022-0168, that is undeveloped. The current GR-MU zoning on Tract 1 and LO-MU zoning on Tract 2, that was approved by the City Council on October 13, 2022 through case C14-2021-0109, promotes consistency with the permitted uses developed adjacent to these parcels. Commercial-mixed use and office-mixed use zoning will permit the applicant to utilize vacant structures to allow for mixed use development on the site. The more intensive GR-MU zoning on Tract 1 is appropriate for a retail development fronting a major highway within an area of concentrated commercial and retail development. The staff recommends maintaining the 120-foot buffer of LO-MU zoning along Jollyville Road which is defined as Tract 2 in accordance with the intent of the U.S. 183/Jollyville Road Area Study. The …
RESTRICTIVE COVENANT TERMINATION REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 5 CASE: C14-05-0151(RCT) – 8420 Longview RC Termination ADDRESS: 8420 Longview Road and 3114 Cameron Loop EXISTING ZONING: SF-6-CO SITE AREA: 15.061 acres PROPERTY OWNER: SB Longview LLC (Zachary Greenky) AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Michael J. Whellan) CASE MANAGER: Nancy Estrada (512-974-7617, nancy.estrada@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends granting a Termination of the Restrictive Covenant. ZONING & PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 3, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: RESTRICTIVE COVENANT TERMINATION RECORDING NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed Restrictive Covenant Termination area is comprised of approximately 15.06 acres and is currently undeveloped. It is located at the northwest intersection of Longview Road and Cameron Loop. The subject area was rezoned from rural residence (RR) district to townhouse and condominium residence-conditional overlay (SF-6-CO) combining district zoning in 2006. The site is surrounded by both multifamily and single family residences. Please refer to Exhibit A (Zoning Map). The rezoning case included a public Restrictive Covenant that specified that development on the property is subject to the recommendations contained in the Neighborhood Traffic Analysis memorandum from the Transportation Review Section of the Watershed Protection C14-96-0127(RCT) Page 2 and Development Review Department, dated November 16, 2005. Please refer to Exhibit B (2006 Rezoning Ordinance and Restrictive Covenant). Currently there is a site plan under review for this property. The Applicant proposes to terminate the Restrictive Covenant since the previous Neighborhood Traffic Analysis (NTA) recommendations are no longer in alignment with the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Restrictive Covenant Termination request. Transportation and Public Works also supports removing the restrictive covenant that requires the site to provide the Neighborhood Traffic Analysis (NTA) recommendations from the November 16, 2005 NTA memo since the recommendations from this NTA do not align with the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan.

Residents on Longview Road have to back up into oncoming traffic. Also no existing sidewalks exist for the frequent joggers and people walking their dogs and children to the neighborhood park.
