ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 1, 2025: Postponed to August 19, 2025 at the neighborhood’s request by consent (7-0, A. Flores, D. Fouts and T. Major-absent); B.

There are professional office and medical office uses to the north and east zoned GO-CO. The lots to the south are developed with single-family residences zoned SF-2. To the west there is an undeveloped area, a detention pond and a residential condominium development with GO-CO zoning and an I-RR designation. In this case, the applicant is requesting to establish permanent SF-6 zoning to allow for a single-family and condominium development on this property (please see the Applicant’s Summary Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends the applicant’s request for Townhouse and Condominium Residence district zoning. The proposed zoning is consistent with the purpose statement as the property is located on a residential collector roadway. The proposed zoning will provide a transition from the office zoning/uses to the north and east to the single-family residences along Caldwell Lane to the south. SF-6 zoning will permit the development of additional residential uses in this area and it will establish a permanent zoning designation on this currently undeveloped lot. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Townhouse and Condominium Residence district is intended as an area for moderate density single family, duplex, two family, townhouse, and condominium use, without the spacing and locational requirements for townhouses and condominiums that apply in SF-5. This district is appropriate for areas in which unusually large lots predominate with access to other than minor residential streets, and in selected areas where a transition from single-family to multifamily use is appropriate. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed zoning will provide a …

The applicant is requesting MF-5, Multifamily Residence-High Density District, zoning to redevelop this property with approximately 250 multifamily residential units (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff’s recommendation is to grant MF-3, Multi- Family Residence–Medium Density District, zoning. The property in question is located along Level 1/Residential and Level 2/Collector roadways. It does not meet the purpose statement or intensity of the MF-5 district as this site does not front onto a major roadway near transportation options such as Capital Metro bus routes, bus stops or urban trails. The staff’s recommendation of MF-3 zoning is consistent with surrounding zoning patterns. This property is in an area where medium density multifamily residential use is desirable. The lot under consideration is located within 0.22 miles from Parmer Lane Activity Corridor and there are commercial goods and services available along McNeil Drive to the north.

From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Rob Crawley Sirwaitis, Sherri clem DePalma; cswanson2@gmail.com Opposition to Zoning Change Case C14-2025-0054 Hearing Date: Aug 19th 6PM Friday, August 15, 2025 11:54:44 AM External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Sherri Sirwaitis, Re: Zoning Change Case C14-2025-0054 -- Hearing Date: Aug 19th 6PM I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed zoning change for Case C14-2025-0054 at 11700 Flower Scent Court. The current SF-1 zoning, which supports low-density single-family residences on lots of 10,000 square feet or more, is well-suited to the area’s character and environmental considerations. Changing it to SF-2, allowing moderate- density development with lots as small as 5,750 square feet, could lead to overcrowding, increased traffic, and strain on local infrastructure. Additionally, the sloping terrain and environmental limitations noted in the SF-1 designation suggest that maintaining the current zoning is more appropriate to preserve the neighborhood's integrity and natural landscape. I urge the Zoning and Platting Commission to reject this rezoning application. Also, I would point out - Spot Zoning concerns: Changing this single lot's zoning to SF-2 while surrounding properties remain SF-1 would constitute unfair zoning practices. Indeed, the lot requesting the change appears to be one of maybe two properties that might be able to gain this change, out of a subdivision of 70-odd homes. Thank you for considering my input. I am available to discuss this further if needed. Sincerely, Robert J.

Designated zoning of I- RR for this lot should have been SF-2. Since I-RR is ‘interim” zoning, the neighborhood was not afforded the option to submit a valid petition. The applicant/owner/agent are aware of the Acres West Deed Restrictions and should understand SF-6 zoning does not adhere to the deed restrictions for that legally platted residential Acres West lot. The neighborhood requests the Commission to recommend SF-2 for permanent zoning for this Lot 20, Blk A, to be consistent with the rest of the Acres West residential lots. SF-6 zoning could be considered ‘spot zoning’ in this case. C14-2008-0224(RCT) Restrictive Covenant was violated by submission of a new site plan (SP- 2024-0215C) that did not comply with the landscaping plan attached to the RC. The agent for the owner originally explained the purchase of the residential lot (Lot 20, Blk A) was to allow them to not impose compatibility on themselves (their commercial development)…hence, the landscaping plan that varied in compromising the rules of compatibility. The landscaping plan and limiting hours of operation (7AM to 10PM) were negotiated with the neighborhood and now the applicant wants to go back on his promise to have those restrictions removed. The neighborhood would prefer those restrictions be considered as additional conditions (CO) to be included under the new zoning case (C14-2025-0060) and request the Commission to recommend that to Council. C14-2025-0060 Prohibited uses were approved by Council with zoning case from 2010. At that time, applicant/agent claimed they did not have time to do a TIA because they wanted to move forward with their development. ZAP questioned their promise to limit trips to 2000/day and wondered if additional uses were added back in as permitted, what would trigger a requirement for a TIA to be conducted? …

I have reviewed all letters and statements submitted to the City’s public portal and wanted to follow up with you ahead of our hearing next week. My goal is to acknowledge the concerns raised, share additional information that may not have been previously communicated, and invite you to meet with me for an open conversation. Since late June, I have provided details on each case, requested feedback, and attempted to coordinate a meeting with the neighborhood. Unfortunately, I did not receive any responses until last week. To ensure everyone is included moving forward, I’ve copied all residents so you may contact me directly if you wish. Below, I’ve included some clarification and details for each case for your review. I understand weekday schedules can be challenging, so please let me know if this Sunday or Monday would work better for a meeting. While we don’t have a conference room available, I’m happy to coordinate a location that’s convenient for everyone. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and receiving any feedback from the neighborhood. Acres West Lot 20 Rezone (C14-2025-0032) - Rezone from DR to SF6 Attached are two early layout ideas for the vacant lot at 13608 Caldwell Dr. Since the property doesn’t yet have a zoning designation, it wouldn’t make sense to invest in detailed plans just yet but zoning will be required before anything can move forward. Due to the lot’s unusual shape and its location next to a commercial property, we feel a small townhome or condominium development would be the most compatible and thoughtful use of the space. We understand the concerns raised about traffic, drainage, …
ZONING & PLANNING COMMISSION PRESENTATION ACRES WEST LOT 20 REZONE (C14-2025-0032) Applicant: Tisha Ritta 2 PROPERTY/PROJECT DETAILS Property Address:13608 Caldwell Dr Legal Description: Acres West, Block A, Lot 20 Lot Size: .407 acres Existing Zoning: I-RR Proposed Zoning: SF-6 Purchased: 2010 ZONING REQUEST 3 The property is a .407 acre undeveloped lot that fronts Caldwell Dr. We are seeking to rezone the property from its existing designation of Residential Rural (I-RR) to Townhouse & Condominium Residence (SF-6) to allow for single-family and townhome/condominium development. Rezoning to SF-6 will provide permanent zoning for the property while contributing to the city’s housing supply by utilizing this vacant lot, which is positioned between established residential and commercial developments. The property is not located within a designated neighborhood plan. There is no floodplain within or adjacent to the property. ZONING MAP 5 CONSISTENT WITH THE PURPOSE STATEMENT & COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. 3. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. The proposed zoning fits the intent of the district since the property fronts a residential collector street, which is appropriate for moderate-density housing like townhomes and condominiums. This zoning also creates a natural transition, stepping down from the office uses to the north and east down to single-family homes along Caldwell Dr to the south and is compatible with the existing condominiums to the west. SF-6 zoning will establish zoning designation for an undeveloped lot that will provide residential uses near commercial and civic services. Imagine Austin Guidelines Connectivity, Goods & Services, Employment: The site is within 0.5 miles of goods, services, and employment opportunities. Connectivity & Health: A variety of medical services and a dentist office are within 0.2 miles, providing nearby health services. Housing Choice: This zoning expands housing options with unit types that meet a variety of household sizes, incomes, and lifestyles. Such as townhomes, small- scale multifamily, and other infill housing. This directly supports Imagine Austin and the Strategic Housing Blueprint goals.

August 18, 2025 Dear Members of the Planning Commission, I am writing as Principal of Stepping Stone School Lakeline to express strong opposition to zoning case C14-2025-0060 and the proposed termination of the public restrictive covenant under C14-2008-0224 (RCT). Stepping Stone School has proudly served families in Austin for 45 years, and our presence in this neighborhood for more than 35 years has been central to our mission of providing a safe, stable, and nurturing environment for young children. I urge the City of Austin and the Planning Commission to deny these requests. Our school located on Hymeadow educates and cares for children daily, and our families depend on the surrounding neighborhood to support that mission. The proposed changes raise serious concerns: • Effort to void a legally binding agreement: The restrictive covenant in question was created through a negotiated agreement with the city and community stakeholders. Allowing it to be voided would weaken the reliability of such legal protections and suggest that even formally established covenants can be disregarded for convenience, setting a concerning precedent for future developments. • Removal of existing zoning safeguards: This would allow disruptive commercial uses, such as 24-hour operations, group homes, indoor entertainment venues, and general restaurants, next to our schools and homes of families we serve. These businesses are incompatible with the environment necessary for young children to thrive. • Elimination of the protective green buffer: The buffer is a vital safeguard, providing a physical and visual shield from noise, traffic, and other disruptions. Children play outside daily and walk to and from school with their families, and removing this protection would expose them to unnecessary risks and distractions. • Introduction of uses like group homes and residential treatment facilities: These could increase transient activity near our schools, raising serious safety concerns for children and families who trust us to provide a secure environment. The neighborhood already faces challenges—including increased incidents of people working on vehicles in residential areas—that impact safety, noise, and traffic. Approving these zoning changes would only exacerbate these issues, disrupting the calm, family- friendly environment essential for early childhood development. 08 C14-2025-0060 - AE Medical & Retail Rezone; District 61 of 3 These zoning protections were established through meaningful community engagement to safeguard the neighborhood’s character and safety.

The current restrictive covenant places two main limitations on the property: • Business hours limited to 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. • Landscaped buffers along residential property lines. Business Hours Restriction Current covenant limits operations to 7 a.m.–10 p.m. Restricts businesses such as: Private tutoring centers Sleep clinics Coffee shops Many viable tenants turned away due to hours restriction. Request: Remove limitation to allow flexible hours that fit with the center’s character and community needs. 5 Landscaped Buffers • Covenant requires vegetative buffers along residential edges. • Phase 1 construction: buffers installed for 11 residential lots (northeast). • Updated plan: approved for southwest side (includes only 1 residential property, under same ownership). • Owner intends to maintain buffers to protect and add value for Lot 20 (13608 Caldwell Dr). • City may carry this requirement into updated zoning ordinance (Case C14-2025-0060). • Buffers also enforced during site plan process. Summary & Commitment • Request removes outdated restrictions that limit viable tenants. • Buffers will remain in place through zoning ordinance and site plan enforcement. • Goal: Attract quality tenants that provide valuable services to the community. • Maintain compatibility with neighborhood while ensuring site remains successful long-term. NEIGHBORHOOD BUFFER 7 8 CLOSING STATEMENT Our goal is to update outdated restrictions while maintaining neighborhood protections. • Flexible hours → broaden tenant options. • Buffers → preserved and enforced. • Supports long-term growth of the center and community. Thank you for your time and consideration. THANK YOU Tisha Titta 512-937-0073 Tisha@permitpartnerstx.com

From: To: Subject: Date: Attachments: Annalynn Cox Sirwaitis, Sherri; Carl Swanson Re: Zoning Commission - Case number: C14-2025-0054 Tuesday, August 19, 2025 2:15:02 PM image001.png External Email - Exercise Caution Sure, Ms Sirwaitis, this is what I submitted on that page: Case number: C14-2025-0054 -- I strongly oppose any rezoning or change to this property beyond its current designation. Many of the surrounding homes are in a neighborhood known as The Forest. Most of these homes were built around 1999, and a large majority still have their original owners. This stability is a testament to the neighborhood’s appeal, character, and community ties. Rezoning would negatively affect the overall neighborhood. It would alter the established look and feel, potentially encouraging incompatible uses and developments. Such changes risk eroding the character that residents have valued for decades. A zoning change could also increase traffic, strain parking availability, and overburden existing roads. Several neighbors have expressed particular concern about the sewer and stormwater systems. Heavy rains already push these systems to their limits, with drains backing up and flooding cul-de-sacs and roads. Any additional development, especially with more impervious surfaces, would likely worsen runoff and flooding risks. Environmental impacts are also a serious concern. Additional construction would mean a loss of green space, mature trees, and natural shade. These changes could contribute to increased heat, reduced biodiversity, and further stormwater issues. Rezoning could reduce nearby property values by introducing denser housing and creating a perception of overdevelopment. This may make the neighborhood less attractive to prospective buyers. Furthermore, approving this request could set a precedent for similar rezoning applications, leading to further erosion of the area’s character. For these reasons, I respectfully request that this rezoning proposal be denied. 03 C14-2025-0054 - Rezoning of Lot 31 Block A - The Forest Section One at The Villages of Spicewood; District 61 of 2 Annalynn Cox 11509 Herb Cove, Austin, TX, 78750 512-762-7455 -- 03 C14-2025-0054 - Rezoning of Lot 31 Block A - The Forest Section One at The Villages of Spicewood; District 62 of 2
