ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 17, 2022: March 29, 2022: To postpone to May 17, 2022, at request of Zoning and Platting Commission. (6-3) [Denkler-1st, King-2nd; Barrera Ramirez, Acosta and Smith-Nay] CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 8B-3 C14-2022-0014 2 ISSUES: No issues identified at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the east side of Sprinkle Cutoff Road approximately 500 feet north of Samsung Boulevard. The I-RR zoned property is undeveloped and heavily vegetated. Properties to the north, east and south are primarily developed with single family residences and are zoned I-SF-2 and PUD (Pioneer Crossing). Across Sprinkle Cutoff Road to the west is undeveloped property zoned SF-6. Further west is property zoned I-RR that is developed with single family residences. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the rezoning request to SF-6. The property across Sprinkle Cutoff Road to the west was rezoned from I-RR to SF-6 in 2017 and other properties in the area are zoned for and developed with single family residences. Granting SF-6 zoning on this tract reflects an equal treatment as the property across the road. Granting of SF-6 zoning also provides the opportunity for a variety of housing types in the area. This reflects the goals and objectives of City Council as outlined in the Strategic Housing Blueprint. Staff has received correspondence regarding the zoning request. Please see Exhibit C- Correspondence. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. 2.

I have reviewed the application material from Kimley-Horn and associates. As a resident of the Pioneer West community near the area, I am very concerned about the significant increase in traffic around the area should the rezoning be approved and granted. Sprinkle Cutoff, Samsung Blvd are very small thoroughfares and would not be able to accommodate more cars and trucks without expansion from its current two-lanes. I know that cyclists frequently enjoy riding through Sprinkle Cutoff Rd to Springdale or Cameron Rd to get to Decker Lake and the Walnut Creek cycling trails. Can you please tell me if there are plans to widen or improve these roadways? Or added bike lanes? Please let me know when you receive additional detailed plans. Thank you for your time. Take care, Tam H. Tran CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.
