ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: P DISTRICTS: 1 and 3 CASE: C14-2021-0032 6610 Shelton Road ZONING FROM: SF-2 ADDRESS: 6610 Shelton Road SITE AREA: 1.64 acres PROPERTY OWNER: AGENT: City of Austin City of Austin Housing and Planning Department (Jerry Rusthoven) (Heather Chaffin) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request for rezoning to P district zoning. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 15, 2021: June 1, 2021: Staff postponement to June 15, 2021 granted on consent. May 18, 2021: Staff postponement to June 1, 2021 granted on consent. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be determined. ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 26B-5C14-2021-0032 2 ISSUES: The rezoning request is intended to rezone City-owned property to P zoning in accordance with City policy. The SF-2 zoning on the property was brought to the attention of the City by a nearby property owner who was concerned that a non-residential property owned by the City may trigger compatibility standards when redevelopment occurs on their own parcel. Zoning and Platting Commission heard a presentation regarding the request on December 15th and voted to support Housing and Planning Department initiation of the request on a vote of 10-0. Please see Exhibit C- ZAP Initiation Documents. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located along the east side of Ed Bluestein Boulevard slightly south of where the rail right-of-way (ROW) of the proposed Capital Metro Red Line. The Southern Walnut Creek Greenbelt Trail runs along the northern property line, and Boggy Creek runs through the subject property. The surrounding area includes single family residential areas, undeveloped parcels, and the Southern Walnut Creek Greenbelt. These properties are designated with a mix of SF-2, LI, and P zoning. Southern Walnut Creek Greenbelt was previously zoned SF-2 but rezoned to P in 2011. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the rezoning request. The 2011 rezoning reflected City policy of correcting inaccurate zoning designation of City-owned parcels, as is this rezoning request. The property forms a part of the Southern Walnut Creek Greenbelt system. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. 2. Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. Public (P) district is the designation for a governmental, civic, public service, or public institution use. A P district designation may be applied to a use located on property used or reserved for a civic or public institutional purpose or for a major public facility, regardless of ownership of the land on which the use is located. A P district designation may not be applied to government-owned property that is leased to a nongovernmental agency for a use other than a governmental service or for a use that supports a primary civic or public institutional use.

However, sustainability is the basis of the Imagine Austin vision statement and its hundreds of policies and actions developed through the input of thousands of community members. These policies and actions express six core principles for action to make our imagined Austin a reality, and one in particular appears to support this project: 2.) Integrate nature into the city. A beautiful, world-class system of outdoor places for recreation and environmental protection will define Austin as a world-class city. We need to develop our natural assets into a network of connected greenways and waterways. By strengthening our "green infrastructure" - parks, the urban forest, trails and greenbelts, rivers, creeks, lakes, gardens, urban agriculture, open spaces, and wildlife habitat - Austin can protect the natural environment and enhance recreational opportunities. The following Imagine Austin policies are also applicable to this case:  LUT P23. Integrate citywide and regional green infrastructure, to including such elements as preserves and parks, trails, stream corridors, green streets, greenways, agricultural lands, and the trail system, into the urban environment and the transportation network.  CFS P42. Increase connectivity between neighborhoods and from neighborhoods to parks and greenways through the use of sidewalks, bicycle lanes, multi-use paths, and trails  CFS P47. Extend existing trail and greenway projects to create an interconnected green infrastructure network that includes such elements as preserves and parks, trails, stream corridors, green streets, greenways, agricultural lands linking all parts of Austin and connecting Austin to nearby cities. Based on the Imagine Austin policies and text above, which supports the expansion and preservation of parks, trails, greenways, and other green and blue infrastructure facilities and projects in all areas of the city, the rezoning of this property to ‘Public’ supports the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. Environmental 1. The site is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is located in the Boggy Creek Watershed of the Colorado River Basin, which is classified as an Urban Watershed by Chapter 25-8 of the City's Land Development Code. 2. Zoning district impervious cover limits apply in the Urban Watershed classification. 3. According to floodplain maps there is a floodplain within or adjacent to the project location. Based upon the location of the floodplain, offsite drainage should be calculated to determine whether a Critical Water Quality Zone exists within the project location. 4 of 26B-5C14-2021-0032 5 4. Standard landscaping and tree protection will be required in accordance with LDC 25-2 and 25-8 for all development and/or redevelopment. 5. 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. 6. This site is required to provide on-site water quality controls (or payment in lieu of) for all development and/or redevelopment when 8,000 s.f. cumulative is exceeded, and on site control for the two-year storm. Site Plan Any new development is subject to Subchapter E. Design Standards and Mixed Use. Additional comments will be made when the site plan is submitted. Parks & Recreation PR1 : PARD is supportive of the rezoning to P. Transportation ASMP Assessment No right of way is required for the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan for Shelton Road. [LDC 25-6-51 and 25-6-55]. There is an existing urban trail adjacent to the northern boundary of this site (Southern Walnut Creek Trail).

The rezoning is for a City-owned parcel that is part of the Walnut Creek Greenbelt and Hike and Bike Trail system. While in the past the City of Austin has allowed public parkland to retain it’s original zoning, in recent years the City has moved to have public parkland to have consistent P- Public zoning. In 2017, the City initiated rezoning cases for other, larger, areas of City parkland, but smaller tracts spread across the city were not systematically rezoned. For more information, please see the attached exhibits. Exhibit 1 is an excerpt from the approved minutes of December 15, 2020 that document the initiation of the request. Exhibit 2 is a presentation that was included as part of the December 15, 2020 agenda. For additional information, please contact the Zoning Case Manager, Heather Chaffin, at 512-974-2122 or heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov.
