The existing buildings and parking area are located on the adjacent Lots 56-58, and is presently occupied by Impact Family Church. The water quality and detention / irrigation ponds are shown on Lots 53 and 54 which is part of the rezoning area. An additional building and parking area (unbuilt, associated with the church) is shown on Lot 55 and 56. The Applicant has met with representatives of the Persimmon Hollow Condominiums on William Cannon, the adjacent community to the west. Petition information is attached. The petition currently stands at 0.70%, and will increase following receipt of original signatures from several adjacent property owners. All correspondence received from adjacent residents is attached at the back of the Staff report. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject undeveloped property consists of six platted lots and a vacated right-of-way with approximately 1,450 linear feet of frontage on West William Cannon Drive. The westernmost lot has frontage on Stage Coach Trail, a 200-foot long public street that provides vehicular access to the Persimmon Hollow Condominiums to the west. Two 1995- 1996 rezoning cases (which occurred prior to the right-of-way vacation) covered the west and east portions of the property and Council approved the limited office – conditional overlay (LO-CO) district for each case. The Conditional Overlay limits the number of vehicle trips to 2,000 per day on each case, and prohibits vehicular access to Stage Coach Trail on the western case. City maps show a creek buffer area running in a northerly to southerly direction through the western portion of the site and continuing to the 147 acre Stephenson Preserve to the south. Creek Buffers are unbuildable areas. There are single family residences in the Western Hills at Cherry Creek subdivision and apartments across William Cannon to the north (SF-3; SF-2; MF-2-CO), undeveloped land and a church to the east (LO-CO; LO); the Stephenson Preserve to the south (PUD), and attached condominiums across Stage Coach Trail to the west that also have frontage on William Cannon (SF-3). The Imagine Austin Growth Concept Map identifies West William Cannon Drive as an Activity Corridor which is a reflection of both land uses along a roadway and the available transportation options. Please refer to Exhibits A and A-1 – Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The Applicant’s request is to rezone the property to the multifamily residence – moderate- high density (MF-4) district so that it may be developed with up to 300 apartment units. The Applicant’s conceptual plan shows that development will be located on the eastern portion of 2 of 64B-5C14-2021-0161 Page 3 the site opposite existing apartments, and vehicular access would be taken to West William Cannon Drive. Please refer to Exhibit B – Applicant’s Conceptual Plan. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The multi-family residence – moderate-high density (MF-4) district is intended for residential and multi-family use with a maximum density of up to 54 units per acre, depending on unit size and mix. This district is appropriate for multi-family residential areas located near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, generally in more centrally located areas. The property has access to West William Cannon Drive, an arterial and frontage on Stage Coach Trail, a local street which serves a condominium community. 2. Intensive multi-family zoning should be located on highways and major arterials. 3. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. Staff recommends MF-4 zoning for the property based on the following considerations: 1) multifamily residential development is appropriate on William Cannon Drive, an arterial (Level 4) road and designated Activity Corridor, 2) it is suitable for residential development, consistent with multifamily residential developments to the north and east on William Cannon, and a multifamily development would assist towards accomplishing housing goals, and 3) the proposed development will be compact due to impervious cover restrictions within the Barton Springs Zone.

RELATED CASES: The rezoning area is platted as Lots 50-55, Western Hills, a subdivision recorded in 1953 (C8-1953-2104). The City acquired right-of-way for the expansion of William Cannon Drive in 1972 and 1977. The Ranch Road right-of-way located between Lots 53 and 54 was vacated by a vote of the Planning Commission on April 4, 2000 and recorded at the Travis County Clerk on April 6, 2000. On April 11, 1996, Council approved LO-CO zoning with the Conditional Overlay for a 2,000 daily vehicle trip limit for the eastern portion of the rezoning area (C14-95-0106 – Jubilee Christian Center). Also on April 11, 1996, Council approved LO-CO zoning with the Conditional Overlay for a 2,000 daily vehicle trip limit and prohibiting vehicular access to Stage Coach Trail for the western portion of the rezoning area (C14-95-0107 – Jubilee Christian Church / Wilke-Amey-Clay Funeral Home).

It is also located along the William Cannon Road Activity Corridor and outside the boundaries of a small area plan. Surrounding land uses include a multifamily apartment complex and single-family houses to the north; to the south is Stephenson Nature Preserve and Outdoor Education Center; to the east is a church; and to the west are attached (two-unit) condominiums. The proposed land use is a 300-unit multifamily mid-rise apartment complex. Connectivity There are public sidewalks located along both sides of this portion of William Cannon Drive. A public transit stop is located directly in front of the property but there are no bike lanes located along this portion of William Cannon Drive. Retail uses and a park are located within a quarter of a mile radius. A grocery store is located a half mile to the west. The mobility and connectivity options in the area are average. Imagine Austin The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan (IACP) identifies this section of West William Cannon Drive as an Activity Corridor. Activity Corridors are intended to allow people to reside, work, shop, access services, people watch, recreate, and hang out without traveling far distances. They are characterized by a variety of activities and types of buildings located along the roadway — shopping, restaurants and cafés, parks, schools, single-family houses, apartments, public buildings, houses of worship, mixed-use buildings, and offices. The following Imagine Austin policies are applicable to this case: • LUT P1. Align land use and transportation planning and decision-making to achieve a compact and connected city in line with the growth concept map. • 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. 6 of 64B-5C14-2021-0161 Page 7 • 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. Please note that the Imagine Austin compliance review does not include specific policy focus on environmental and/or water quality. Based on this property: (1) being situated along an Activity Corridor, which supports multifamily uses; (2) other residential uses, including multifamily, being located within a quarter mile radius of this site; (3) adding new residential units in support of the Strategic Housing Blueprint; and (4) the connectivity and mobility strengths available in the area, this project supports the policies of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. 7 of 64B-5C14-2021-0161 Page 8 8 of 64B-5C14-2021-0161 Page 9 Drainage The developer is required to submit a pre- and post-development drainage analysis at the subdivision and site plan stage of the development process. The City’s Land Development Code and Drainage Criteria Manual require that the Applicant demonstrate through engineering analysis that the proposed development will have no identifiable adverse impact on surrounding properties. There is a regional water quality / detention facility that will serve this site, therefore onsite drainage facilities will not be provided. Environmental This site is located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is in the Williamson Creek Watershed of the Colorado River Basin, which is classified as a Barton Springs Zone Watershed by Chapter 25-8 of the City’s Land Development Code. It is in the Drinking Water Protection Zone. Project applications at the time of this report are subject to the SOS Ordinance that allows 15% impervious cover in the Recharge Zone. A Water Quality Transition Zone / Critical Water Quality Zone exist within 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. Runoff from the site is required to comply with pollutant load restrictions as specified in Land Development Code. Impervious Cover Within the Barton Springs Zone portion of the Williamson Creek watershed, the maximum impervious cover allowed by the MF-4 zoning district is 15%, which is based on the more restrictive watershed regulations. PARD – Planning & Design Review Parkland dedication will be required at the time of subdivision or site plan application for new residential units, per City Code § 25-1-601, as amended. The proposed development meets the criteria for land dedication in City Code Title 25, Article 14. As such, a partial land dedication will be required, as well as any remaining fees in-lieu. 9 of 64B-5C14-2021-0161 Page 10 The development is adjacent to Stephenson Preserve, and includes a segment of a Williamson Creek tributary, thereby meeting several of the criteria for dedication per § 25-1- 605 (B). The development as proposed will require parkland dedication for the new residential units that will serve the surrounding neighborhood through the additional park investment. The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) would consider a connection along the creek toward satisfying the requirement at time of permitting (whether subdivision or site plan). Such a connection would improve neighborhood connectivity, and satisfy a connection with Williamson Creek, a recommendation identified in the Parks and Recreation Department’s Long Range Plan. 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). Should the applicant wish to discuss parkland dedication requirements in advance of site plan or subdivision applications, please contact this reviewer: thomas.rowlinson@austintexas.gov. At the applicant’s request, PARD can provide an early determination letter of the requirements as stated in this review. Site Plan and Compatibility Standards 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 site is subject to compatibility standards. Along the north and west property lines, the following standards apply: a. No structure may be built within 25 feet of the property line. b. No structure in excess of two stories or 30 feet in height may be constructed within 50 c. No structure in excess of three stories or 40 feet in height may be constructed within 100 feet of the property line. feet of the property line. d. No parking or driveways are allowed within 25 feet of the property line. e. A landscape area at least 25 feet wide is required along the property line. In addition, a fence, berm, or dense vegetation must be provided to screen adjoining properties from views of parking, mechanical equipment, storage, and refuse collection. Additional design regulations from LDC 25-2-1067 include the following: • Exterior lighting must be hooded or shielded so that the light source is not directly visible from adjacent property: (1) in an urban family residence (SF-5) or more restrictive district (2) on which a use permitted in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district is located • The noise level of mechanical equipment may not exceed 70 decibels at the property • A permanently placed refuse receptacle, including a dumpster, may not be located 20 line. feet or less from property: 10 of 64B-5C14-2021-0161 Page 11 (1) in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district; or (2) on which a use permitted in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district is located. Density limits for MF-4 For sites zoned MF-4, the minimum site area for each dwelling unit is: (1) 800 square feet, for an efficiency dwelling unit; (2) 1,000 square feet, for a one-bedroom dwelling unit; and (3) 1,200 square feet, for a dwelling unit with two or more bedrooms. Austin Transportation Department ASMP Assessment The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) calls for 120 feet of right-of-way for W William Cannon Drive and 50 feet of right-of-way for Stage Coach Trail. It is recommended that 60 feet of right-of-way from the existing centerline should be dedicated for W William Cannon Drive and 25 feet of right-of-way from the existing centerline should be dedicated for Stage Coach Trail according to the Transportation Plan with the first subdivision or site plan application [LDC 25-6-51 and 25-6-55]. Transportation Assessment Assessment of required transportation mitigation, including the potential dedication of right of way and easements and participation in roadway and other multi-modal improvements, will occur at the time of site plan application. A traffic impact analysis shall be required at the time of site plan if triggered per LDC 25-6-113. Austin Water Utility 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.

This was determined by the district’s demographer by looking at similar projects in the area. The proposed 300-unit multifamily development is projected to add approximately 18 students across all grade levels to the projected student population. It is estimated that of the 18 students, 8 will be assigned to Sunset Valley Elementary School 3 to Covington Middle School, and 7 to Crockett Early College High School. The percent of permanent capacity by enrollment for School Year 2025-26, including the additional students projected with this development, would be within the utilization target range of 85-110% at Sunset Valley ES (106%), and below the target range at Covington MS (60%), and Crockett ECHS (75%). The projected additional students at Covington MS and Crockett ECHS would not offset the anticipated decline in student enrollment. TRANSPORTATION IMPACT Students attending Sunset Valley ES and Crockett ECHS will qualify for transportation, however, there will be no impact. Students at Covington MS will not qualify for transportation unless a hazardous route condition is identified. SAFETY IMPACT There are not any identified safety impacts at this time.

William Cannon Sunday, January 2, 2022 6:40:16 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Zoning and Platting Committee, The proposed development of 3101 W. William Cannon is exactly the type of development that Austin needs in order to make housing more affordable. Although I would love to see an even denser development (less parking spaces), as long as the local environmental considerations are taken into account, this location is a prime example of where we should start to build more densely (along a major corridor). We need this kind of density in order to encourage use of public transit that will help the city reach its environmental goals. This increased density will also help fill the giant void of affordable housing (missing middle) that the city is in desperate need of in order to make the city affordable for our teachers, musicians, and other public servants. I fully support this development and would love to see more developments like it in South Austin.

Monday, January 3, 2022 10:28:06 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Commissioner Smith, Thank you for your service to our city. I was alerted to your discussion of the potential development on William Cannon Dr. this week via NextDoor (see below). I was glad to receive this notice as I wouldn't otherwise have understood the opportunity to comment. I am a homeowner in the nearby Wheeler Creek neighborhood, and a frequent user of this stretch of William Cannon for commuting and shopping. I am strongly in favor of this development, and urge you to use your position to quickly advance its approval so long as it meets the goals outlined in the Imagine Austin plan. Housing affordability is the number one issue facing our city, and a major driver of other top- tier issues like traffic, wealth inequality and racial inequity. The problem is largely being driven by restricted supply. We need to build more housing everywhere in our city, and we need to do it quickly if we wish to maintain our character as a welcoming place for all. According to Community Impact News, our district in particular has not kept up with its commitment to siting more housing, and we need to catch up. Thank you for your consideration.

William Cannon Drive Project CASE: C14-2021-0161 Sunday, December 5, 2021 10:42:17 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Rhoades, Thank you for this opportunity. I strongly oppose the rezoning of this urban forest property contiguous with Stephenson Nature Preserve to high density unaffordable housing. The real estate developer proposes to destroy a rich urban forest and nature preserve negatively impacting a wildlife population that includes gray foxes, rabbits and deer. This property is the sole wildlife bridge and a posted wildlife crossing for an extended urban green belt and the only access to Stephenson Nature Preserve. The Ranch Road right-of-way is the only access to the hiking trails of Stephenson Nature Preserve for local citizens and will be eliminated. Tens of thousands of oxygen generating carbon dioxide absorbing trees and vegetation will be destroyed and replaced with with hundreds of automobiles and trucks degrading air quality and exacerbating already dense and often life threatening traffic along West William Cannon which is already effectively off-limits to bicycle traffic. This month alone one of our female gray foxes and a young deer were killed. Last week a speeding pickup truck drove across the sidewalk and into a home. This property owner has been a terrible neighbor allowing illegal dumping, trash, shopping cart accumulations and public sidewalks to become overgrown and impassable. Clean-up has been largely left to the local citizens. I have personally arranged four shopping cart returns to HEB and picked up many bags of garbage on this property. The property owner continues to demonstrate indifference and contempt for the neighborhood. This property was originally part of black owned land farmed as part of Kincheonville supplying food for Tillotson College. In 1928 The City of Austin denied these black and hispanic land owners access to water, electricity and education forcing them into East Austin “negrotown.” The property contains remnants of stone walls and a remarkably preserved well. Historic or archeologic survey should be required before any further zoning considerations. Please don’t rezone this forest for destruction and profit of a wealthy developer at the expense of the community. Such rezoning would result in worsening air quality, traffic safety, public access to the nature preserve and urban wildlife diversity & safety.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to comment on this. Zoning and Platting Commission, Comments for Public Hearing Dec 7, 2021 Zoning Case C14-2021-0161 LO-CO to MF-4 My neighbors and I in the Persimmon Hollow duplexes don't want a new development that would access Stagecoach Trail, as this would then allow access to the private street that our HOA maintains. Our backyards face towards William Cannon; we have excessive vehicular traffic already. If this zoning change passes, we must have the explicit language of the previous zoning case (C14-95-0107) carried forward that prohibits vehicular access to Stage Coach Trail. My objections on the zoning change request are: a) These lots are too shallow to create a pleasant multifamily complex. The units would be situated fairly close to the street. They would have constant noise and air quality issues due to the heavy traffic on William Cannon. Factor in the inability to make a safe left turn in or out of the complex, and the residents would likely move out after their first or second lease is over. This constant churn of residents would destabilize our neighborhood, as few people would stay long enough to develop a sense of community in such a development. b) Apartments don't provide ownership opportunities, which is a cornerstone to a stable middle class. We need to restrict zoning change requests to only those developments that provide the 'missing middle' (condos, duplexes, quads, townhomes etc.). This requested zoning change doesn’t help our City’s housing situation in the long run. c) property is a real estate corporation, not future owners. d) The LO-CO zoning offers small business opportunities, is naturally suited to the shallow depth of these lots, and should stand as-is. If the rezoning to MF is granted, then the only entity that will make money on this My concerns on the development of the property, regardless of what is built, are: e) The wooded areas left on their property need maintenance by the owner for invasive species. They have chinaberry trees and ligustrum that will continue to spread into 24 of 64B-5the Stephenson Nature Preserve if left unmanaged. f) Our Nature Preserve system needs funding from the developer for the Preserve master plan and future capital improvements. There's plenty of trail work, signage, and 'dodge gates' that need to be planned and then implemented to help improve the biodiversity and health of the Stephenson. g) I'd like to request that the future tenants are provided information on good neighbor practices/use & stewardship of the Preserve, i.e., write it into their rental agreements that they won't use the Preserve to walk their dogs, ride bicycles, play paintball or ride motorcycles in the Preserve. Unfortunately I’ve witnessed all these activities happening; very few folks are aware of the rules or reasons why a nature preserve doesn't allow the same recreation activities as a city park. h) The construction should allow no impact whatsoever to the historic rock walls that were part of the Stephenson ranch. These cultural artifacts need protection and monitoring during construction. i) Over the years, we've lost a number of trees in the William Cannon medians due to drunken driving/speeding crashes. While the fences and homes have been repaired, the trees have never been replaced. The applicant should contribute to replacing street trees in the area to help improve the canopy coverage. There's a road widening project in the works for William Cannon, so shade will be even more essential in the future. j) This development will possibly destroy a small group of redbud trees that have hung over the sidewalk for a number of years. When they’re in bloom, they provide us pedestrians a small relief from speeding traffic. I'd like to see the applicant include a few new redbuds to mitigate the loss of that delightful species. k) Future development of the site must keep trash dumpsters away from existing homes. It would be unkind to have existing residents to have to listen to commercial dumpsters being serviced early in the mornings, or deal with odors and varmints they tend to attract. l) Lastly, I’d like to request that the applicant be required to switch the existing overhead lines along the back of their lots to underground services so that the neighborhood can perhaps better withstand the next ice storm. I recognize that development is going to happen, but I don't want the applicant to get a new lucrative zoning designation without being required to go above and beyond for the greater good of the neighborhood that they're about to permanently impact. I want this neighborhood (and the City) to be just as desirable in 40 years as it is now. My sincerest thanks to City staffs and the Zoning and Platting Commission members for their work on this matter.

William Cannon Drive. (Case number C14-2021-0161) We emailed about this project last month when I wrote to you to submit my correspondence to the Zoning and Platting meeting on 12/7, which I appreciated you doing. I recently received another letter for another hearing tomorrow and am wondering if you could submit my comments below. I'm sorry for the late notice -- I just received the letter today. This is what I am requesting to be said: I am extremely troubled by this plan for a multifamily resident, or any building, to be built at 3101 W. William Cannon Drive. This part of William Cannon is already so congested. The traffic would make it almost impossible for me to turn left or right out of my apartment across the street; it's already very difficult as it is. I'm additionally troubled by the noise, light, and air pollution the construction would cause. Even more importantly, I am very disturbed and troubled at the idea of continuing to build apartments and other commercial buildings in these beautiful, untouched green spaces. We are losing too many and this once green city is turning into a concrete parking lot with plywood condos in every corner. We are in the middle of a climate emergency and we cannot afford to build projects like this wherever we want without major, irrevocable damage and cost to our environment -- for us and future generations.

Our duplexes have the buffer of our front yards and our private street to allow room to defend the Preserve if a fire starts in our structures or vice versa- protecting our duplexes if a fire starts in the Preserve. (Heaven forbid either scenario!) The applicant’s proposed ‘Texas donut’ or ‘wrap’ building around a parking garage adjacent to the nature preserve needs serious consideration and a thorough review from the fire department. Case studies have indicated that fighting fires in these wraps can present tactical challenges, such as limited courtyard access, autos burning in the parking garage, and long hallways requiring additional hoses (1). A tall multi-story structure with only a narrow fire lane between the building and the Preserve may present serious issues. There may not be enough room on the backside of the structure to defend the Preserve or protect the people living in the structure. Again, the current office zoning is the most appropriate zoning for these lots. One or two story office buildings would be less likely to spread fire into the Preserve, and would be more defensible if a fire should start in the Preserve. The current LO-office zoning should stand as-is.

We have found where the city had our incorrect mailing address and have provided the correct address. As discussed on the phone, I am the Senior Pastor of Impact Family Church, which owns the property adjacent to 3101 West William Cannon Drive (“Subject Property”) which I understand is the subject of zoning change application C14-2021-0161. On behalf of Impact Family Church, I oppose the zoning application. First and foremost, from what I can tell from the proposed plans, the Subject Property cannot be developed as proposed and still be in compliance with the obligations owed to Impact Family Church under the attached Restrictive Covenant Regarding Unified Development and Maintenance of Drainage Facilities. The owner of the Subject Property contacted me seeking a waiver of the Restrictive Covenant, and I refused as such would not be in the best interest of our church. The Restrictive Covenant includes various restrictions on the Subject Property, including the requirement of unified development and the maintenance of a specific area of joint access. Without a waiver by the church of its rights under the Restrictive Covenant I have been advised that the Subject Property cannot be independently developed into a multi-family complex, as proposed. In addition, as an adjacent property owner, we are very concerned about traffic flow, safety and the density proposed for the Subject Property in such close proximity to the church. There is simply not sufficient room to provide safe access for 300 families to and from the Subject Property, given the already high traffic count in this area, and the needs of access for the church during services and other activities on our property. We ask the City to deny the zoning application. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Pastor John S. Larkam Impact Family Church P.O.

William Cannon, at the Stephenson Nature Preserve. Spaces like this preserve are becoming rare, and this one in particular is special. Many of us in the 78745 area have spent many hours in those woods, hiking, running, cleaning trash, exercising dogs, and taking our kids on walks to experience the outdoors. It is the same story all over the city that has been accelerating over the last decade or so. I understand it is business, but the constant development over the wild spaces that make Austin a great place to live will eventually transform the city into a sterilized suburban corporate copy pasted sims land like any other metroplex in Texas. I know the preserve is big, and the apartment complex would only take up a portion of it, but the increased traffic, light pollution, garbage, and plumbing/electric would damage the ecology of the area, including numerous visible sink holes that recharge the Edwards aquifer. Not to mention, it is only the beginning of a sad process. As the foot traffic increases, the trails will get widened, some will get paved, the foliage will get thinner and thinner, the wildlife will leave, sooner or later there will be a food court, and next thing you know it is the next southwark meadows. I hope we can keep the Stephenson Preserve the way it is, thanks for your time.

I am adding an additional concern that I thought of since submitting my original correspondence. Please excuse what I have repeated in my emails/comments for the sake of keeping this in one document. I live on William Cannon very close to the multifamily residence intended to be built at 3101 W. William Cannon Drive. (Case number C14-2021-0161) I am extremely troubled by this plan for a multifamily resident, or any building, to be built there. This part of William Cannon is already overly congested. The traffic would make it almost impossible for me to turn out of my home onto William Cannon; it's already very difficult as it is. I'm additionally troubled by the noise, light, and air pollution the construction of a 300-unit multifamily residence would create in this already crowded part of William Cannon. For those who contend the addition of this apartment complex would reduce the cost of living, I would invite you to consider whether or not Austin's cost of living has increased or decreased in the past 10 years as the construction of multi-family residential buildings has exploded all over the city. With all due respect to the individuals who make this argument, you must either be lying or in denial yourself. I've lived here for 11 years and can attest to the fact the cost of living has only increased dramatically, and we have more apartment complexes than ever. I am no longer able to live in the neighborhoods I used to live in because of how expensive they've become, in spite of how many new residential buildings there are. I am far from the only person and family tragically affected by this. Most importantly, we cannot afford to continue building apartments in these untouched green spaces. We are losing too many and this once beautiful green city is turning into a concrete parking lot with plywood condos built in every green space we have left. Not only is this project proposed to destroy another beautiful, untouched green space, it is proposed to destroy an actual nature preserve. There are many species, some endangered, that depend on the health of that ecosystem. We are in the middle of a climate emergency and we cannot build projects like this wherever and whenever we want without irrevocable damage to our environment -- for us and future generations. I am sick and tired of the pockets of these developers continuing to line while the environment, and that includes we humans, suffers tremendously for it. These are not the values this beloved city has stood for in the past. This space at 3101 W. William Cannon is beautiful and sacred. I've been walking to it for 11 years to watch the sun set, along with many others. It would be devastating and deeply troubling to have yet another apartment complex built here. We need more green spaces, and to protect this one at 3101 William Cannon. I, along with my neighbors and fellow residents, will do everything possible to stop this. I am urging you to as well. Thank you so much for your time and attention to this urgent matter.

As members of the relevant surrounding neighborhood, we write to express our protest and concern over the moderate-high density proposed housing district for the plot at 3101 West William Cannon Drive. The zoning category in question is an unnecessary departure from the typical zoning for the surrounding neighborhood, which is nearly universally within the single family home category. While we, the petitioners, are not opposed to denser housing, we believe any rezoning should weigh the strains that a major development will likely have on (1) the difficult section of William Cannon the units are proposed to be built on, (2) the impact to one of the few contiguous greenspaces in this section of the city, and (3) additional challenges created by such a building to a difficult flood zone. The section of William Cannon in question was built for single family homes and the traffic they generate in mind. You can see this in the construction of the winding road that connects into quick turnoffs. The situation on William Cannon is already dangerous in this area. Just within the last two weeks, a driver slammed directly into the fence line of several neighbors, luckily hurting no one but impressing the point that the section of road in question is complex to navigate today. Adding a building the traffic demands equivalent to an entirely new neighborhood may push safety over the edge. However, we can see from duplexes adjacent to William Cannon today that a less dense housing structure creates fewer problems. In addition, some residents here remain concerned about the environmental impact these buildings will have to a section of the city in need of protected green space. The area of land to be developed comprises one of the few connective corridors between the Stephenson Nature Preserve and the South Hills Conservation Area. Stephenson has become a needed wildlife area in this section of the city, and the fact that the green space is one of the longest stretches of connected space is a value that will become increasingly difficult to replicate with the City’s expansion. In addition, the Preserve has long been neglected, with additional public access points near William Cannon being effectively non-existent. The petitioners would submit that a less dense zoning would materially mitigate the impact to the preserve, preventing a level of activity that will adversely affect the wildlife, while still allowing the City to meet its needs for greater housing in the area. 49 of 64B-550 of 64B-551 of 64B-552 of 64B-553 of 64B-5 T S E L D D A S E D S I D R N E D R A E R LARIAT WAY W E S T E R N D R L R H T C A O E C G TA S D H R C N A R W WILLIA M C A N N O N D R ± BUFFER PROPERTY_OWNER SUBJECT_TRACT PETITION Case#: C14-2021-0161 This product is for informational purposes and may not have been prepared for or be suitable for legal, engineering, or surveying purposes.

Is staff recommending removal of the existing conditional overlay that prohibits access to Stage Coach Trail and limits the number of vehicle trips to 2,000 per day for this site? RESPONSE: Staff has not recommended prohibiting vehicular access to Stage Coach Trail and the Applicant does not propose to take access to Stage Coach. Vehicular access to Stage Coach would entail crossing a drainageway in the Barton Springs Zone which significantly restricts the percentage and location of impervious cover. A 2,000 daily vehicle trip limit is not proposed because Austin Transportation Department (ATD) staff assesses transportation-related mitigation and improvements at the time of site plan application, when the specific land use and intensity has been finalized. As information, the Applicant prefers to align the site’s driveway access to William Cannon with the existing median opening located at the vacated Ranch Road right-of-way. 2. Has the applicant indicated that this site is subject to Chapter 245 vested rights? RESPONSE. No. 3. Is this site subject to Chapter 245 vested rights that override current city code? RESPONSE: No. Any development on the site would result in the application of current Code requirements. 4. What is the maximum impervious cover allowed for this site based on current city code? RESPONSE: The maximum amount of impervious cover for this undeveloped property located within the Recharge Zone of the Barton Springs Zone is 15%, as shown on the City’s Property Profile website. 5. What percentage of the site is developable based on current city code? RESPONSE: Under current City Code, the maximum amount of impervious cover on this site is 15%. 6. Given that this site is undeveloped, is it subject to city code 25-2-567 (Special Requirements For Affordable Housing in Certain Multifamily Districts)? According to this city code: "This section applies in a multifamily residence low density (MF-2) district, multifamily residence medium density (MF-3) district, multifamily residence moderate-high density (MF-4) district, or multifamily residence high density (MF-5) district on property that either has not been developed or that has been developed only with an agricultural use." RESPONSE: The rezoning case does not have a pending SMART Housing application on file with the Housing and Planning Department, hence it is not subject to this Code section. 56 of 64B-5From: To: Subject: Date: Rhoades, Wendy Kiolbassa, Jolene - BC; Rivera, Andrew RE: West William Cannon Tuesday, December 7, 2021 2:58:00 PM Vice-Chair Kiolbassa, Please see my responses below. Sincerely, Wendy Rhoades From: Kiolbassa, Jolene - BC <bc-Jolene.Kiolbassa@austintexas.gov> Sent: Tuesday, December 7, 2021 11:59 AM To: Rivera, Andrew <Andrew.Rivera@austintexas.gov>; Rhoades, Wendy <Wendy.Rhoades@austintexas.gov> Subject: West William Cannon Will the intersection of Stagecoach Trail and West William Cannon get a stoplight if access to this development is through Stagecoach Trail? Or will access to Stagecoach Trail be prohibited as it is as part of the existing LO zoning? RESPONSE: Due to the limited amount of impervious cover available on the Property, the Applicant does not propose to take vehicular access to Stage Coach Trail. As information, the Applicant’s conceptual plan shows the proposed driveway is approximately 1,000 linear feet east of Stage Coach Trail. Staff does not object to maintaining the Conditional Overlay that prohibits vehicular access to Stage Coach Trail. In the absence of taking vehicular access to Stage Coach Trail, Staff does not believe that a stoplight would be installed in connection with development of the subject property. Will an archeologist be required to review the site because of its possible historic significance and features? RESPONSE: The Applicant reports that additional studies about the site’s characteristics will be prepared at the time of site plan, and all rules and regulations regarding any archeological findings onsite will be followed. Will access to Stephenson Preserve be maintained via the old Ranch Road? RESPONSE: The vacated Ranch Road right-of-way functions as an informal private access to Stephenson Preserve. The Applicant reports that he will work with PARD staff regarding the location of any proposed access to the preserve. Will some of the property be dedicated as parkland? RESPONSE: The property is adjacent to a preserve and the Applicant reports that he will work with PARD staff to make this determination at the time of site plan application. What is the history of localized flooding in that area and on that stretch of West William Cannon? RESPONSE: This question would need to be answered by the Watershed Protection Department. At the time of site plan application, a drainage study of the property prepared a Professional Engineer showing pre- and post-development conditions is required. 57 of 64B-5Jolene Kiolbassa Boards and Commissions Scheduled Meeting Disclosure Information: Written disclosure is required by visitors when attending a scheduled meeting with a City Official regarding a municipal question for compensation on behalf of another person.
