ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION SITE PLAN CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL AND COMPATIBILITY WAIVER SPC-2019-0197C CASE NUMBER: PROJECT NAME: Ballantyne Amenity Center ADDRESS OF SITE: 15012 Spring Hill Ln. WATERSHED: APPLICANT/ OWNERS: Harris Branch (Suburban) ZAP HEARING DATE: February 4th, 2020 COUNCIL DISTRICT: 7 JURISDICTION: Full Purpose The Crossing at Wells Branch, LLC (David Blackburn) (512) 513-4194 2088 Old Taylor Rd Oxford, MS 36855 Blackburn Communities, LLC (David Blackburn) 2088 Old Taylor Rd Oxford, MS 36855 (512) 513-4194 AGENT: (512) 974-2711 Renee.Johns@austintexas.gov CASE MANAGER: Renee Johns EXISTING ZONING: SF-4A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use for construction of an amenity center with a pool, bathrooms, parking, and other associated improvements. The applicant also requests a compatibility waiver from 25-2-1063 (B), which requires structures to be setback 25 feet from a triggering property. Zoning and Platting Commission approval is required because the proposed use is community recreation (private) which is a conditional use in an SF-4A zoning district. The compatibility waiver is requested because the proposed driveway is 13 feet from the neighboring SF-4A property, not the required 25 feet. Additionally, the proposed parking area is 5 feet away from the same SF-4A property, not the required 25 feet for compatibility. DESCRIPTION OF WAIVERS: The applicant is requesting a waiver from § 25-2-1063 and § 25-2-1067. The site is subject to a 25’ compatibility setback on the southern property line. Additionally, a parking area or driveway may not be constructed 25’ or less from a lot that is in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district. The proposed parking area is located 5’ from the SF-4A property located to the south of the development. The proposed driveway also encroaches into the required 25’ setback and is located at 13’ from the neighboring SF4A property. COMPATIBILITY: Section 25-2-1051 states that Article 10 Compatibility Standards apply if a use in a SF-6 or less restrictive zoning district is located on a property across the street from or adjoining a property on which is zoned SF-5 or more restrictive or a use is permitted in a SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district is located. § 25-2-1063 (B)– HEIGHT LIMITATIONS AND SETBACKS FOR LARGE SITES In this section, the term “structure” excludes a rain garden using no concrete that is designed in accordance with the Environmental Criteria Manual. A person may not construct a structure 25 feet or less from a property: (1) in an urban family residence (SF-5) or more restrictive zoning district; or (2) on which a use permitted in a SF-5 or more restrictive district is located; and § 25-2-1067 - DESIGN REGULATIONS. (G) Unless a parking area or driveway is on a site that is less than 125 feet wide, a parking area or driveway may not be constructed 25 feet or less from a lot that is: (1) in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district; or (2) on which a use permitted in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district is located. SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1 of 8B-09Ballantyne Amenity Center SP-2019C-0197C Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for the proposed community recreation (private) use and the compatibility waiver.

The site plan will comply with all requirements of the Land Development Code. SUMMARY OF SITE PLAN: LAND USE: The site is zoned SF-4A (Single Family Residence Small Lot), and is currently vacant ENVIRONMENTAL: Environmental review is informal and is currently pending payment of fees. TRANSPORTATION: All transportation comments have been cleared.

Desired Development Zone. This project is within the Harris Branch Watershed, which is defined as Suburban, and shall be developed, constructed and maintained in conformance with the terms and conditions of the City of Austin Land Development Code. Please see the appendices of the Engineer’s Report for the E.R.I. waiver and the Environmental Assessment report and supplemental letter prepared by Ranger.

No portion of this tract is within the boundaries of the 100-year floodplain as shown on Federal Flood Insurance Administration FIRM Panel No. 48453C0260 J and 48453C0270 J and for Travis County, Texas, effective August 18, 2014. No portion of this tract is within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge, Transition, or Contributing Zones. Water and wastewater service will be provided by the City of Austin. The proposed water system for this project will be served by an existing water service from Ballantyne Section One (C8-2014-0238.01B) that ties to an existing 8” PVC line along Spring Hill 6 of 8B-09Lane. The proposed wastewater system will connect an existing wastewater service from Ballantyne Section One (C8-2014-0238.01B) that ties to an existing 8” PVC line along Spring Hill Lane. Detention & Water Quality: This lot was included in the approved Ballantyne Subdivision (C8-2014-0238.01.1B) drainage / detention / water quality calculations. Please the Engineer’s Report and construction plans for all applicable approved Ballantyne Subdivision (C8-2014- 0238.01.1B) sheets.
