The COA Development Services Department (DSD) approved the original site plan on 24 July 2017 with an expiration date of 24 July 2020. The original applicant submitted an administrative one-year site plan extension to extend the site plan on 28 May 2020, approved such that the current expiration date is 26 July 2021. This ±6.71-acre site contemplates 88 smart housing units within the full purpose limits of the City of Austin. The property is located within the South Boggy Creek Watershed, which is classified as a Suburban Watershed. No portion of the site is located in the Edwards Aquifer Recharge or Contributing zone. No portion of the site is located within a 100-year or 500-year flood plain as shown on FEMA Map Panel No. 48453C0580H, dated September 26, 2008. The property is zoned multifamily low-density (MF-2) and is located within the Desired Development Zone for development purposes as defined by the City of Austin. Based on influences and requirements outside the control of the site plan or land owner, the current site plan has not been able to complete construction or pull all building permits. These factors include the final sale of several final dwelling units facilitating the application of building permits. The developer is in active discussions to finalize the sale of these units and plans to file for building permits and construct the final units in the above allotted extension time. Since the release of this site plan, the COA has not adopted or revised any codes or ordinances that would impact the current design of the originally permitted site plan. Given the circumstances and dire need for these housing product types in Austin we are requesting a three (3) year extension of the originally approved site development permit. This would result in a new expiration date of 24 July 2023. If you should have any questions about the information contained herein, please do not hesitate to contact WGI offices for clarification.
