AGENT: Thrower Design, LLC (Ron Thrower & Victoria Haase) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant community commercial (GR) district zoning.

ZONING & PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 17, 2025: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of approximately 1.38 acres located at the northwest corner of West Dittmar Road and Cooper Lane, within close proximity to South 1st Street, an Imagine Austin Corridor. The site is currently an undeveloped and unplatted tract that is zoned family residence – conditional overlay (SF-3-CO) combining district zoning by a 2016 rezoning case. West Dittmar Road is a Level 3 divided arterial road at this location, while Cooper Lane is a Level 2 street. The entire site is located within a hazardous pipeline overlay with a petroleum and a natural gas pipeline extending through the most northern portion of the site. 03 C14-2025-0002 - Cooper Apartments; District 51 of 11 C14-2025-0002 Page 2 Adjacent land uses include a religious assembly and a single family residence to the north (DR; NO-MU-CO; SF-6-CO); the Cooper Villas condominiums directly across Cooper Lane (MF-1-CO; SF-2; DR); single family residences, two manufactured homes, a two-family residence and South Boggy Creek to the south (SF-4A-CO; I-RR; SF-3-CO); and a detention and water quality pond and single family residences to the west (SF-2-CO).

No structure will be placed within the restricted pipeline area, which includes the area within 25 feet of a hazardous pipeline. Additional construction and design standards will also be required. Currently the conditional overlay includes two transportation related items that prohibit vehicular access to Cooper Lane and permits only one driveway approach to West Dittmar Road from the property. However, Transportation and Public Works (TPW) supports the removal of the conditional overlay with respect …
************************************************************************ MEMORANDUM TO: Hank Smith, Chair Zoning and Platting Commission Members FROM: Nancy Estrada, Principal Planner Planning Department DATE: June 12, 2025 RE: C14-2024-0092 – Allred, Riddle, and W. Slaughter Request for Indefinite Postponement by Staff ************************************************************************ Staff requests an indefinite postponement of the above referenced rezoning case. This rezoning case was initially submitted on June 13, 2024, without a proper legal description and other required information. Since then, the applicant has formally amended this zoning application to expand the boundaries of the area to be rezoned. Therefore, components of this application were revised and resubmitted and placed back into staff review on May 5, 2025. Staff has identified that a corrected TIA Determination Worksheet, a required component of a rezoning application, has not yet been resubmitted. At this time, Staff requests an Indefinite postponement because necessary components to the rezoning application have not been received or assessed. Future postponement requests, however, will be made by the applicant. As information, per LDC 25-2-246 (A) (2) (Expiration of Application), a rezoning application will expire if it is not scheduled for a public hearing before the 181st day after the date on which the land use commission grants an indefinite postponement of a scheduled public hearing. Renotification of the rezoning case will be required in order to reschedule the public hearing. Attachment: Amended Zoning Map 04 C14-2024-0092 - Allred, Riddle, and W.

City of Austin, Capital Delivery Services 6800 Burleson Rd, Bldg 312, Ste 200 Austin, TX 78744 AGENT: Sharon Hamilton, P.E. Consultant City Permit Coordinator Capital Delivery Services CASE MANAGER: Meg Greenfield, (512) 978-4663, meg.greenfield@austintexas.gov EXISTING ZONING: P (Public) PROPOSED USE: The proposed use is a Major Utility Facility in Public zoning. The Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant is one of two major wastewater treatment plants that provide service to COA customers. The plant was built in different stages, and has been operational since 1977, with a major capacity expansion in 2002 to its current average daily flow capacity of 75 MGD. The current improvements generally consist of the rehabilitation of the existing 75 MGD treatment trains; implementing a 25 MGD plant expansion; and implementing a 100 MGD Wet Weather Treatment unit. With the construction of the current expansion project, the plant will have an overall capacity of 100 MGD. REQUEST: This site is zoned P (Public) and is greater than one acre in size; therefore, a Conditional Use Permit may be required, according to the Land Development Code (Section 25- 2-625). Please note this is a Land Use Element site plan and approval of this site plan does not authorize any construction. Five subsequent construction element site plans will be filed. The purpose of this site plan is to only attend Land Use Commission once instead of 07 SPC-2025-0091A - AW - Walnut Creek WWTP Expansion to 100 MGD - Overall SP A; District 11 of 17 having to attend for each site plan. This is a large project, and construction will span many years, which is why it has been broken up into multiple site plans. The construction element site plans are divided into packages A, B, C, D & E for ease of design, review, and construction. These packages are separated geographically and are identified with different colors in the plans. SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this site plan.
