February 18, 2020 Zoning and Platting Commission Q & A Report B-03 C8-2018-0171.SH - Goodnight Ranch Phase Two - East; District 2 Question: Commissioner Aguirre How is the Watershed Protection Department being engaged in the overall project? Also, what is the definition of ‘yard‘ houses? What is the allowed impervious cover? The print is very small on the tables, but there appears to be a higher than normal impervious cover amounts, plus the table refers to Yard, Row and Mansion Houses. How were those impervious rates arrived at? Please advise what measures are being taken to ensure there is no adverse impact to properties downstream as a result of the Goodnight Ranch project. Onion Creek is factually known for flash flooding with deadly consequences. Answer: Staff Following is the definition of Yard House from the PUD Ordinance (ORDINANCE NO. 20061116-053): "YARD HOUSE means a detached single-family residence One accessory dwelling unit containing not more than 700 square feet of gross building area may be constructed over the garage" The ordinance can viewed at http://www.cityofaustin.org/edims/document.cfm?id=99337
