RELATED CASES: This property was annexed into the Full-Purpose Jurisdiction on December 19, 2011 (C7a- 11-001). The property is platted as a portion of Lot 2, Joe K. Smith Subdivision, recorded in October 1971 (C8s-71-213). There are no site plan applications on the property. 3 of 10B-2Capital Metro (within ¼ mile) Yes, Route 328 C14-2020-0058 Page 4 EXISTING STREET CHARACTERISTICS: Name Pavement ROW Classification Sidewalks Bicycle Route Felter Lane None 40 feet Level 1 None None (private road) OTHER STAFF COMMENTS: Comprehensive Planning This zoning case is located on the east side of Felter Lane and is not located within the boundaries of a neighborhood planning area. The property is 1.21 acres in size and contains two one-story office/warehouse buildings and is part of the Travis Business Park. The property is located outside the boundaries of a small area plan but is located within 500 hundred feet from the McKinney Job Center, which is to the north. Surrounding land uses include undeveloped land and single family subdivisions to the north; to the south is the business park, undeveloped land and the John Ojeda Middle School; to the east is the business park; and to the west is the business park, a chemical factory, undeveloped land and another warehouse/office park. The proposal is to acknowledge the existing office / warehouses on the property via a zone change, which is located within a business park. Connectivity A transit stop is located 800 feet from the subject property. There are no public sidewalks located along Felter Lane or this section of Burleson Road. Bike lanes are located along both sides of Burleson Road. Mobility options in the area are fair while connectivity options (goods and services) are below average. Imagine Austin The property is located immediately adjacent to a Job Center. Like many Imagine Austin Centers, they are represented by a circles or globular shapes that reflects the general location where the center should be located in the future. The center’s actual boundaries would need to be clarified through a small area planning process. From Imagine Austin: Job centers will mostly contain office parks, manufacturing, warehouses, logistics, and other businesses with similar demands and operating characteristics. They should nevertheless become more pedestrian and bicycle friendly, in part by better accommodating services for the people who work in those centers. While many of these centers are currently best served by car, the Growth Concept Map offers transportation choices such as light rail and bus rapid transit to increase mobility options. The following Imagine Austin policy is applicable to this case: • LUT P4. Protect neighborhood character by directing growth to areas of change that includes designated redevelopment areas, corridors and infill sites. Recognize that 4 of 10B-2C14-2020-0058 Page 5 different neighborhoods have different characteristics and new and infill development should be sensitive to the predominant character of these communities. • LUT P20. Locate industry, warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, and other freight- intensive uses in proximity to adequate transportation and utility infrastructure. Based on this property having a large number of other light industrial and office/warehouses located within a mile radius of this site; the Imagine Austin policies above that recognize that different neighborhood have different characteristics; the existing use being located within a warehouse/office park but the fair to weak mobility and connectivity options in the area, this request partially supports the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. 5 of 10B-2C14-2020-0058 Page 6 6 of 10B-2C14-2020-0058 Page 7 60% % of Gross Site Area % of Gross Site Area with Transfers 50% Impervious Cover Within the Onion Creek watershed, the maximum impervious cover allowed by the LI zoning district would be 80%, which is a consistent figure between the watershed and the zoning regulations. Environmental The site is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is in the Onion Creek Watershed of the Colorado River Basin, which is classified as a Suburban Watershed by Chapter 25-8 of the City's Land Development Code. The site is in the Desired Development Zone. Under current watershed regulations, development or redevelopment on this site will be subject to the following impervious cover limits: Development Classification Single-Family (minimum lot size 5750 sq. ft.) Other Single-Family or Duplex 55% 60% Multifamily Commercial 80% According to floodplain maps there is no floodplain within or adjacent to the project location. Standard landscaping and tree protection will be required in accordance with LDC 25-2 and 25-8 for all development and/or redevelopment. At this time, site specific information is unavailable regarding vegetation, areas of steep slope, or other environmental features such as bluffs, springs, canyon rimrock, caves, sinkholes, and wetlands. Under current watershed regulations, development or redevelopment requires water quality control with increased capture volume and control of the 2-year storm on site. Site Plan If the project has an office area that is 25% or more of the gross floor area of any building(s) on the lot, it will be subject to Subchapter E. Transportation 60% 70% 90% At the time of submittal of any site plan on the Property, a traffic impact analysis (“TIA”) is required if the proposed development or uses on the Property, considered cumulatively with 7 of 10B-2C14-2020-0058 Page 8 all existing or previously authorized development and uses, generates traffic that exceeds 2,000 trips per day. Water / Wastewater The landowner intends to serve the site with City of Austin water and wastewater utilities. The landowner, at own expense, will be responsible for providing any water and wastewater utility improvements, offsite main extensions, utility relocations and or abandonments required by the land use. The water and wastewater utility plan must be reviewed and approved by Austin Water for compliance with City criteria and suitability for operation and maintenance. Based on current public infrastructure configurations, service extension requests (SER) will be required to provide service to this lot. For more information pertaining to the Service Extension Request process and submittal requirements contact Alberto Ramirez with Austin Water, Utility Development Services at 625 E. 10th St., 7th Floor. Ph: 512-972-0211. The landowner must pay the City inspection fee with the utility construction. The landowner must pay the tap and impact fee once the landowner makes an application for a City of Austin water and wastewater utility tap permit.
