SITE AREA: 179.14 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Karlin Research Park Development, LLC, Karlin Research Park, LLC (Matthew Schwab) AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Richard T. Suttle) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends LI-PDA, Limited Industrial-Planned Development Area Combining District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 17, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 2 of 33B-7C14-2021-0012 3 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 179+ tract of land that has access onto McNeil Drive and onto the frontage road of Research Boulevard/U.S. Highway 183 Northbound. The property is developed with office, warehouse and manufacturing uses. The specific area in Lot 11 (which is approximately 31 acres) appears to contain an electric switching station, a vacant parking structure and undeveloped land. The lots to the north are developed with single- family residential uses (Old Milwood Neighborhood) and a detention pond. To the east, there is a multifamily use (Riata Resort Apartments), a small retail center and office uses (Riata Gateway). The property to the south fronting Research Boulevard is developed with office buildings (Research Park Plaza). To the west, across McNeil Drive, there is a day care use, a retail use, offices, a convenience storage use and automotive washing. The applicant is requesting a rezoning to add a Planned Development Area (PDA) combining district to the LI base district to retain the office/industrial and warehouse uses and add a 350-unit multifamily use on Lot 11 along the northeastern side of the property (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter and Proposed PDA Standards – Exhibit C). The staff is recommending Limited Industrial-Planned Development Area District zoning as the property meets the intent of the LI-PDA combining district. The zoning would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses because there are commercial and industrial uses located to the north, south and west and multifamily residential uses and commercial uses to the east. LI-PDA zoning would allow this site to be redeveloped with a mixture of high-density residential, office, commercial and industrial uses. This location is appropriate for the proposed mixture of uses because the property in question is near the intersection of a major arterial roadway, McNeil Road, and a highway, Research Boulevard/U.S. Highway 183. In addition, the property is located 800 feet from the Jollyville Activity Corridor and 1,550 feet from the 183 and McNeil Neighborhood Center. The addition of multifamily residential through the proposed planned development area will provide for additional housing opportunities in this area of the city. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Limited Industrial Service district is intended as an area primarily for commercial services and limited manufacturing uses, generally on moderately sized sites. Planned Development Area combining district is intended for combination with selected commercial and industrial base districts, in order to modify base district provisions as necessary to allow for appropriate industrial and commercial uses or to reflect the terms 3 of 33B-7C14-2021-0012 4 of a Planned Development Area agreement following annexation of properties subject to such an agreement. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The LI-PDA zoning district would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses because there are commercial and industrial uses located to the north, south and west and multifamily residential uses to the east. 3. Zoning changes should promote an orderly relationship among land uses. LI-PDA zoning would allow this site to be developed with a mixture of high-density residential, office, commercial and industrial uses. This location is appropriate for the proposed mixture of uses because the property in question is near the intersection of a major arterial roadway, McNeil Road, and a highway, Research Boulevard/U.S. Highway 183. The property is located 800 feet from the Jollyville Activity Corridor and 1,550 feet from the 183 and McNeil Neighborhood Center. 4. The proposed zoning should allow for a reasonable use of the property. The LI-PDA zoning district would allow for a fair and reasonable use of the site. The proposed addition of the Planned Development Area Combining District will allow for high-density residential uses, which will provide desirable housing opportunities for the people that work in the surrounding commercial and industrial areas.

The property is located 800 feet from the Jollyville Activity Corridor and 1,550 feet from the 183 and McNeil Neighborhood Center. The property is surrounded by retail and residential uses to the north; to the south are office uses and Highway 183 (Research Boulevard); to the west are commercial and light industrial uses; and to the east is vacant land and residential uses. The proposal is to retain the office/industrial and warehouse uses and add 350 unit multifamily apartment complex on approximately 31 acres of the property, via a LI to LI- PDA zonings change. 9 of 33B-7C14-2021-0012 10 There is no CapMetro stop located less than a mile away from the subject property. Research Boulevard has a public sidewalk while McNeil Drive has only an intermittent public sidewalk infrastructure, making walking in this area problematic. There are a few retail and commercial options in the area but no walkable civic uses. Connectivity Imagine Austin The subject property is near the 183 and McNeil Neighborhood Center’ as identified on the Imagine Austin’s Growth Concept Map. A Neighborhood Center is the smallest and least intense of the three types of activity centers outlined in the Growth Concept Map, with a focus on creating local businesses and services—including doctors and dentists, shops, branch libraries, dry cleaners, hair salons, coffee shops, restaurants, and other small and local businesses that generally serve the center and surrounding neighborhoods. Regional, town, and neighborhood centers are supposed to be walkable, bikeable, and supported by transit. There is also an Activity Center located 800 feet from Research Boulevard. The following IACP policies are also relevant to this case: • LUT P20. Locate industry, warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, and other freight- intensive uses in proximity to adequate transportation and utility infrastructure. • LUT P7. Encourage infill and redevelopment opportunities that place residential, work, and retail land uses in proximity to each other to maximize walking, bicycling, and transit opportunities. • HN P10. Create complete neighborhoods across Austin that have a mix of housing types and land uses, affordable housing and transportation options, and access to schools, retail, employment, community services, and parks and recreation options. Environmental The project is proposing to rezone from LI to LI-PDA to enable office and multi-family development in an area currently zoned LI. Staff does not support the language establishing vested rights proposed in Exhibit A, Section 1(A). Projects should be subject to code at the time of site plan or subdivision permit application not at time of PDA approval. Exhibit A, Section 3(A)(e) is proposing to increase allowable impervious cover from 60% to 80% gross site area. The site is in the Suburban watershed regulation area, and watershed regulations limit multi-family projects to 60% impervious cover. Staff do not support the requested increase in impervious cover in excess of the watershed regulations in City Code 25-8. Environmental code modifications should not be allowed within PDA re-zoning cases. If the applicant wishes to modify code requirements affecting water quality regulations, PUD zoning would be a more appropriate zoning option. 10 of 33B-7C14-2021-0012 Fire No comments. Parks and Recreation 11 Parkland dedication will be required at the time of subdivision or site plan application for new residential units proposed by this rezoning, multifamily with LI-PDA, per City Code § 25-1-601, as amended. The intensity of the proposed development creates a need for over six acre of additional parkland, per requirements described in § 25-1-602; when over six acres, parkland must be dedicated – see § 25-1-605 (A)(2)(a). As such, land dedication shall be required. Any remaining fees in-lieu after dedication shall also be required. The surrounding areas are currently park deficient, defined as being outside walking distance to existing parks. The dedication would satisfy the need for additional parks in park deficient areas of North Austin, a specific recommendation in the Parks and Recreation Department’s Long Range Plan. The land to be dedicated must comply with PARD standards, including those described in Title 25, Article 14, as well as the Parkland Dedication Operating Procedures. Should there be any remaining fees in-lieu, those fees shall be used toward park investments in the form of land acquisition and/or park amenities within the surrounding area, per the Parkland Dedication Operating Procedures § 14.3.11 and City Code § 25-1-607 (B)(1) & (2). If the applicant wishes to discuss parkland dedication requirements in advance of site plan or subdivision applications, please contact this reviewer: thomas.rowlinson@austintexas.gov. Site Plan SITE PLAN REVIEW OF ZONING CASES Any new development is subject to Subchapter E. Design Standards and Mixed Use. Additional comments will be made when the site plan is submitted. The multifamily residential component will also be subject to open space requirements. Transportation The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP), adopted 04/11/2019, identifies sufficient right- of-way Riata Trace Parkway and Oak Knoll Drive and identifies a need for 104’ of right-of- way McNeil Drive. Sufficient right-of-way for Research Boulevard SVRD NB is deferred to TxDOT. Traffic impact analysis was waived, except for the development on Lot 11, a new site plan (or revision to any site plan that generates new trips) within the PDA would not be approved without a master TIA for all PDA sites. The master TIA shall include the entire zoning tract area, including Lot 11. 11 of 33B-7C14-2021-0012 Water Utility 12 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. Depending on the development plans submitted, water and or wastewater service extension requests may be required. All water and wastewater construction must be inspected by the City of Austin. 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. INDEX OF EXHIBITS TO FOLLOW A: Zoning Case Map B.

Our area has been requesting the city to install speed bumps, reduce speed limits, repave our damaged roads, and install Buffer Sound Walls along Palmer & McNeil roads with no success for 15+ years to my knowledge. (Possibly longer) Adding additional apartment complexes, large complex industries (Apple/Samsung) along with existing large retailers (HEB) etc. will not only lead to higher noise decibels in our area, but it will also exacerbate our existing small neighborhood road traffic issues. Traffic issues have already and dramatically increased when Apple finally expanded upon their land within the last several years. We have witnessed staff from the surrounding companies & retailer customers “short-cutting” through our neighborhoods to avoid the McNeil/Palmer Street lights. Our school children cannot safely walk to our local schools, such as McNeil Highschool & Jollyville Elementary. We can no longer safely open car doors along our main thoroughfares, where our mailboxes are located to retrieve daily mail. Non-residential drivers have become increasing impatient, discourteous, and reckless. These drivers are going too fast, tailgating, and zipping around our parked cars without being cautious of children existing our vehicles; especially during the hours of 4pm-7pm each night. All the while the city of Austin continues to provide tax incentives to these companies; including property taxes which are to support our local roads and schools. In my opinion, the city continues to disregard (or even acknowledge) our local resident neighborhood needs to address impacts to our traffic conditions. Traffic accident history can be obtained for the past 20 years. You’ll note this history will include numerous intersection incidents, fatalities, local bank robbery speed chases, and even a home on Shreveport Drive had a car crash into it several years ago. Your support in our continued local neighborhood efforts to get our roads repaved, installing speed bumps, reducing speed limits, and building sound buffers would be greatly appreciated. We would like our voices heard, acknowledged, and addressed with transparency. 22 of 33B-7Thank you, Denise Canary 13006 Campos Drive Austin, TX 78727 Rosemary Avila (multi-family) case # SP2021-0124C Rosemary.Avila@austintexas.gov 512-974-2784 Sherri Sirwaitis (zoning light industrial) Case # 14C-2021-0012 Sherri.Sirwaitis@austintexas.gov 512-974-3057 Sent from Mail for Windows 10 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

It is my understanding that there is a rather large business and multi-family project being proposed that has a lot of impervious ground cover as part of the project. I currently live directly behind the proposed project area and my property is currently directly affected when heavy rains come through and we have already had several close calls with flooding since they built what has been an abandoned parking garage about 23 years ago. My big concern is that if they build the project we will definitely end up flooding. It is my understanding that the property owner was legally required to restore the space to its previous condition once the project was abandoned years ago and that obviously never occurred.I would like a new Geological survey done given that nature of the geology under this site and that fact that it is part of the Balcones Canyon land. I have already sent in my notice to the city that I am an interested party to all of this. I am deeply concerned that due to the property owners lack of attention and action over the years, the close calls we’ve already had with flooding that if this project is allowed to move forward that I will have little to no recourse when my property finally does infect flood due to the amount of impervious ground cover that this project will have. Given that 4 caves, 4 sinkholes and 3 solution cavities have been discovered on this land I think it is extremely pertinent that a new geological survey be conducted as this property may well not even be safe to build this project on. My address is 6007 Avery Island Ave. Austin, TX. 78727. My cell number is (512)567-2998. Sincerely, Robert Broussard CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

I assume there is more development trying to encroach our neighborhood again. These are similar to the same notices I received when I first purchased this home where I was told no one was able to build in the lot behind my house, well that evidently was untrue since there is a multi-level apartment complex I get to now stare at right in my backyard at the end of Avery Island Ave. I am being told where this new 4 story unit is trying to be built has already been deemed too unstable for construction due to caves and sinkholes reported in the TCEQ Edwards Aquifer 2000 protection plan. What can we do to try and save our neighborhood from being engulfed in nothing but apartment complexes and other developments? Enough is enough.

[our address is 6225 Avery Island Ave, Austin TX 78727. James Ciulik/Kirsten Hofmann] We are concerned with the proposals per the zoning case noted above We have had flood risks in the easement behind us (near sub-station) and have even added rocks to our own property to help shore-up the wall toward the drainage ditch. Years ago, the sub-station team even issued a "cease" notice to us as they were concerned some of our backyard work was risking flooding them (and they are several feet above us on higher ground) With simple garden work being a concern, the proposals for the lots in the proposal cause us great concern. I have also worked at the Flextronics facility in the past, and aware of the property and propensity of flooding/water pooling. There's also substantial wild life in the area, and the Flex management is applauded for paying attention to their wildlife partners. - We do not support development due to flood concerns - Expanding the road is also discouraged, as people already zoom down McNeil and Avery Island (which has large speed bumps, but seem to not deter motorists). Main intersection at 183/McNeil is already the primary route, and adding larger roads will drive traffic into residential areas. No access to McNeil, widening or changes in road requested. - Increased noise and height of structures is added concern to privacy, wildlife and meeting Edward Aquiver 2000 protection plan. - A new geological survey is needed, given the abandoned parking garage from years ago and earlier reports of caves, sinkholes and cavities. - Stricter limits are needed to reduce vehicle parking and any tall lighting poles within 500 feet of west easement of Avery Island - We already are losing shade/wildlife refuge with the easement and substation, and need less concrete and tall structures. Please don't turn Austin into Houston, destroy the few nature areas available in the area, and disregard the simple neighborhoods of North Austin. We already are short walking paths and parks. Our sidewalks are buckling and traffic worsened with the huge number of added apartments and commercial business. I appreciate private properly rights, but also acknowledge the 30+ years our neighborhood has been here and supporting growth around the perimeter. Easement is there for a reason, and Houston's flooding has shown that these changes needed stronger and more recent assessments and adherence to intent of Edward's Acquirer protection plan. 30 of 33B-7Thank you.

My name is Angelica Netzel and I live at 6325 Avery Island Ave, Austin. 78727 My property is adjacent to the proposed re-zoning and development area at Research Park, case # C14-2021-0012. I am requesting a postponement of this hearing because the letter sent to residents by P&Z commission did not contain dates or deadlines for comments, pro or con, no dates when the written form they included was due, no dates when to sign up to speak at the hearing, no deadlines when email correspondence was due, etc. In other words, no dates were included except the online hearing on August 17. Therefore, I am requesting that a new letter be sent to residents with full information of dates and time deadlines There is no possible way for me to contact every resident affected by the re- zoning request. We do not have a homeowners association or any other neighborhood organization that disseminates information to us. We are all on our own, so, to be fair to all, a new letter needs to be generated from Planning and Zoning which includes dates and deadlines and a postponement of the hearing needs to be addressed. I would also like instructions on how to sign up to speak at the virtual Planning & Zoning hearing regarding this case, whenever it may take place. I mailed in my written form listing some of my questions and concerns regarding the rezoning, so I won’t repeat them here. Thank you so much for your consideration.
