M. Pearsall) AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant planned unit development (PUD) district zoning for the five tracts as outlined in the redlined draft PUD amendment ordinance, and as shown in Exhibit C – the revised Zoning Exhibit, and supporting Exhibit I – Site Development Regulations table, and Exhibit M (Signage).

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION: June 7, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 28, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: No issues at this time. EXHIBITS AND ATTACHMENTS TO THE STAFF REPORT: Exhibits A and A-1: Zoning Map and Aerial Applicant’s Summary Letter and Redlined, draft PUD Amendment Ordinance Revised and New Exhibits to the PUD: Exhibit C: Zoning Exhibit (Revised) Exhibit I: Site Development Regulations (Revised) Exhibit M: Signage (New) C814-2012-0085.02 Page 2 Correspondence Received CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed second amendment to the Estancia Hill Country Planned Unit Development (PUD) consists of one undeveloped, unplatted 24.230 acre tract located at the northwest corner of the southbound IH 35 frontage road and Puryear Road. Old San Antonio Road bounds the property on the west side and Avenida Mercado Street on its north side. Council approved conversion of the Property from the limited purpose jurisdiction to the full purpose jurisdiction on April 21, 2022 (C7a-2022-0003). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial View). The proposed amendment consists of the following components: 1) add a new land use parcel to be designated as CS-MU (Hospital Tract); 2) require a minimum 2-Star Green Building Rating; 3) amend the permitted, conditional and prohibited uses and to exempt a hospital services (general) use from Subchapter E (Design Standards and Mixed Use); 4) amend the sign regulations for a hospital services (general) use; and 5) amend the site development regulations to allow up to 120 feet in height. Please refer to Applicant’s Summary Letter and Redlined, draft PUD Amendment Ordinance. BASIS OF STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Per the Land Development Code, PUD district zoning was established to implement goals of preserving the natural environment, encouraging high quality, sustainable development and innovative design, and ensuring adequate public facilities and services. The City Council intends PUD district zoning to produce development that achieves these goals to a greater degree than and thus is superior to development which could occur under conventional zoning and subdivision regulations. The PUD provides a canvas for the design of a large scale project, with the end goal to allow flexibility, and also inform and communicate the possibilities for development. Additional effort is required by all parties to ensure that development standards are clear and municipal and citizen needs are addressed. The PUD ordinance and related exhibits are key because once approved, they provide the regulations under which the project will be built, which provides certainty for developers and their agents. 2. Zoning should promote the policy of locating retail and more intensive zoning near the intersections of arterial roadways or at the intersections of arterials and major collectors. Staff recommends the Applicant’s request because the tract is bounded by four roadways, including existing highway frontage and in proximity to SH 45 Eastbound and is within close proximity to the Southside Regional Center as identified on the Growth Concept Map in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The CS-MU zoning district that would apply to this property is compatible with the CS-MU-V and GR-MU designations for the apartments C814-2012-0085.02 Page 3 under construction across Avenida Mercado Street to the north and the GR-MU designation for property within the PUD west of Old San Antonio Road. The proposed PUD amendment will permit the proposed hospital use along a highway and provide medical services at a regional scale to the southern portion of Austin and Hays County as well.

RELATED CASES: The Estancia Hill Country PUD is comprised of 593.6 acres and bounded by Onion Creek to the north, the southbound IH 35 Service Road to the east, Puryear Road to the south, and single family residences in the Onion Creek Meadows subdivision and residences on large lots and undeveloped land to the west (County). C814-2012-0085.02 Page 4 On June 20, 2013, Council approved the Estancia Hill Country PUD for a mixed use project that may be developed with up to 737 single family residential units, 1,550 multi-family residential units, 1.65 million square feet of office/commercial uses, 400,000 square feet of retail, and over 100 acres of open space (C814-2012-0085 – Ordinance No. 20130620-077. A two acre City of Austin Fire / EMS station site and a nine acre site for a multi modal transportation facility are proposed to be located near the southeast corner of Tract II. In general, parkland/open space is located in proximity to Onion Creek and along the west side of Old San Antonio Road, and single family residences on the north central portion of the site. The remainder of the property is to be developed with a broad mix of multi-family, office, retail, and civic uses. The first amendment to the PUD involved removing a sentence in Part 2 of the original PUD ordinance that inadvertently contained grandfathering of development standards, thereby locking them in for the life of this PUD (C814-2012-0085.01). The sole purpose of the first was to remove this sentence from the ordinance and insert the following standard language in its place: “Except as otherwise specifically provided by this ordinance, all other rules, regulations and ordinances of the City apply to the Estancia Hill Country PUD.” Council approved the first amendment on December 11, 2014 (Ordinance No. 20141211-177).

The project is titled Texas Children’s Hospital – Austin South Campus, consists of 24.23 acres, and is located at 13217 Old San Antonio Road at the northwest corner of the IH-35 Southbound Frontage Road and Puryear Road. The Property also has frontage on Old San Antonio Road and Avenida Mercado Street. The Property is currently undeveloped. The Property is zoned PUD, Planned Unit Development, and is part of the Estancia PUD, City of Austin case number C814-2012-0085. This will be the second amendment to be processed for the Estancia PUD. This requested PUD amendment is only for the 24.23 acres outlined and does not propose any modifications to the remainder of the Estancia PUD. The proposed PUD amendment will allow for Texas Children’s Hospital to build a new state-of-the-art facility to serve the south Austin community. This facility is proposed to be developed in multiple phases. At full buildout the project will contain approximately 288 total hospital beds, an outpatient services facility, emergency services, urgent care services, pediatric services, women’s services, subspecialty services, doctor support services and associated parking. First, the PUD amendment proposed to add a new land use parcel to Exhibit B (Land Use Plan) making up the entirety of the Property, to be called “CS-MU-V (Hospital Tract).” Second, we are requesting an amendment to Part 5.13 (Environmental) of the PUD ordinance to require participation of the Property in the Austin Energy Green Building (“AEGB”) program at a minimum 2-star rating. On December 17, 2021 in a meeting with Sarah Talkington, Austin Energy has agreed to rate this project. Third, Part 13.A (Code Modifications – Zoning) is proposed to be amended to specify that permitted, conditional, and prohibited uses for the Property shall match those of the CS-MU-V parcel, and to state that Subchapter E of the City Code does not apply to a Hospital Services (General) land use. Fourth, Part 13.C (Code Modifications – Signage) of the PUD ordinance is proposed to be amended to allow for signage regulations specific to the proposed Hospital Services (General) land use on the Property. Lastly, Exhibit I (Site Development Regulations) of the original PUD Ordinance 20130620-077 is proposed to be amended to add site development regulations for the CS-MU-V Hospital Tract specifically to amend the maximum height of the Property to 120 feet. The Property is currently located in the City of Austin Limited Purpose ETJ. On December 14, 2021 a request was filed by the owner with the City of Austin for annexation into the full purpose jurisdiction of the City of Austin. This process is ongoing but should be completed prior to completion of this PUD amendment request. The Property is not located in a City of Austin adopted neighborhood planning area; therefore, the Property does not have a Future Land Use Map (“FLUM”) designation. Finally, A Traffic Impact Analysis (“TIA”) has been waived via a TIA waiver from Justin Good, P.E. dated January 13, 2022, with the note that a TIA determination is waived, and that the site must show compliance with the existing TIA, the final TIA memo, and phase agreement from zoning case C814-2008-0085. The existing TIA may require an addendum upon further review of the project. Please let me know if you or your team members require additional information or have any questions. Thank you for your time and attention to this project.
