ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET SITE AREA: 0.31 acres (13,503 square feet) DISTRICT: 5 TO: SF-3 CASE: C14-2022-0004 – 1501 Damon Road ZONING FROM: DR ADDRESS: 1501 Damon Road PROPERTY OWNER / AGENT: Capital River Group, LLC – Series 16 (Stuart Cody Carr) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant family residence (SF-3) 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: March 1, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: April 7, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Applicant and the Matthews Lane Neighborhood Association have met to discuss the proposed rezoning. Please refer to correspondence attached at the back of this report. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject lot is located at the southwest corner of Damon Road and Albert Road on a platted lot, contains a 1,525 square foot vacant chapel on its southern portion, and is zoned development reserve (DR) district. Albert Road terminates into a private driveway serving the hospital use to the south and there is a chain link fence across the driveway intended to prevent southbound traffic from accessing the hospital use to the south. Damon Road contains several single family residences on standard lots zoned DR upon annexation in the mid-1980s. There are large tracts to the north that have frontage on Albert Road (DR) and a condominium development under construction to the south which takes its primary access to Dittmar Road which is further south (SF-6-CO). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). The Applicant has requested family residence (SF-3) district zoning in order to build either a two-family residence or a duplex on the lot. A demolition permit application to demolish the chapel was filed with the City on February 1, 2022. 1 of 10B-7 C14-2022-0004 Page 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single-family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. A duplex use that is designated in an SF-3 district is subject to development standards that maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. 2. The requested SF-3 zoning would allow for up to two residential units on the property. Staff recommends the Applicant’s request because the tract meets the intent of the SF-3 district as it fronts on a local residential street, is located within an existing single family residential neighborhood, is adjacent to a condominium community (under construction), and there are other SF-3 zoned lots on Damon Road, Albert Road and on streets in the vicinity.

Total Number of “Yes’s” 2 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. Environmental The site is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is in the Williamson Creek and the South Boggy Creek Watersheds of the Colorado River Basin, which are 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 % of Gross Site Area % of Gross Site Area Single-Family (minimum lot size 5750 sq. ft.) Other Single-Family or Duplex Multifamily Commercial 50% 55% 60% 80% with Transfers 60% 60% 70% 90% 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. 5 of 10B-7 C14-2022-0004 Page 6 Under current watershed regulations, development or redevelopment requires water quality control with increased capture volume and control of the 2-year storm on site. Impervious Cover The maximum impervious cover allowed by the SF-3 zoning district would be 45%, which is based on the more restrictive zoning regulations. PARD – Planning & Design Review Parkland dedication will be required for the new residential units proposed by this development, single family with SF-3 zoning, at the time of subdivision or site plan, per City Code § 25-1-601. Fees in-lieu would be required, and 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 and Compatibility Standards Rezoning from DR to SF-3 does not trigger the application of compatibility standards. The applicable building standards are outlined below: Breakdown by square footage for living area/garage/patio/porch is required on duplex residential site plans. Setbacks for duplex residential: • Anything that juts more than 5 feet into a setback must be fireproofed. Standard side setback is 5 feet with a maximum allowable 2-foot overhang. The overhang cannot have any openings, soffit vents, windows, etc. • Setbacks between buildings is 10 feet (5 feet on each side). Any encroachment into this setback must be fireproofed. • Nothing can encroach into a 2-foot setback. Per direction from City Council in a 2016 resolution, Staff refers civic buildings such as schools and churches over 50 years of age to the Historic Landmark Commission prior to release of a demolition permit. Staff would be looking at the historic use of the building, not more recent uses. Since the building was annexed after construction and there do not appear to be any permits in our system, Staff will look to other research and the form of the building in determining whether this will require Commission review. 6 of 10B-7 C14-2022-0004 Page 7 Transportation No further right-of-way is required for Damon Road. There is a proposed Urban Trail adjacent to the western boundary of this site along the UPC/ASA rail line. 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. Based on current public infrastructure configurations, it appears that 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 the Austin Water SER team at ser@austintexas.gov. 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.

He presented his plans for a single duplex. Most of the Outreach group is not in favor and we presented the idea of a single family home and an ADU (our group is in favor of SF-3 as was granted at 1512 Damon). We are still working towards a resolution. This property as well as all of Damon has an ongoing code compliance issue with 1500 Damon (salvage dump) and we have presented information about this to Mr. Carr as this has affected his newly acquired property as well.
