THEREFORE, the Environmental Commission recommends the variance request with the following: Staff Conditions: 1. The applicant will pay into the Riparian Zone Mitigation Fund for both the area of Zone 1 (Floodplain outside of the CWQZ) and the area of Zone 2 (Floodplain within the CWQZ) using the appropriate ratios per ECM 1.7.6. 2. Development of the site will be carried out as described in Exhibits 1-6, attached in the staff variance packet. VOTE 9-0 Approved By: For: Scott, Thompson, Schiera, Nickells, Bristol, Ramberg, Aguirre, Bristol, Bedford Against: None Abstain: None Recuse: None Absent: Qureshi and Barrett Bixler Kevin Ramberg, Environmental Commission Chair 2 of 2356 Development Services Department Staff Recommendations Concerning Required Findings Project Name: Ordinance Standard: Watershed Protection Ordinance Variance Request: 8020 Parmer Lane SH 130 NW Request to vary from LDC 30-5-342 to allow fill over 4 feet to 15. Include an explanation with each applicable finding of fact. A. City Code: 1. Land Use Commission variance determinations from Chapter 30-5-41 of the The requirement will deprive the applicant of a privilege available to owners of similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development subject to similar code requirements. Yes Two roads border the site, SH 130 and Parmer Ln. SH 130 cannot be used for access, because there is a Restriction of Access recorded for SH 130, which TxDOT will not support lifting or modifying for a full access driveway. Regarding Parmer Ln., the entirety of the Parmer Ln. frontage is located within floodplain and creek buffer. In addition, access is blocked by wetlands. Variances have been granted in similarly restrictive circumstances to allow necessary access to a site. The fill variance is required in order for the applicant to access the site with a bridge spanning wetlands, floodplain, and creek buffer. 2. The variance: a) Is not necessitated by the scale, layout, construction method, or other design decision made by the applicant, unless the design decision provides greater overall environmental protection than is achievable without the variance; Yes The variance is not necessitated by a design decision by the applicant, but by the need to access the site across a Page 2 of 463 of 2356 3. 1. floodplain. The only option for access to the property is to build a bridge crossing over the existing waterway, a tributary to Gilleland Creek, on the southern portion of the site. The proposed fill is the minimum necessary to build the bridge so that the low chord of the bridge is two feet above the 100-year water surface elevation of the 100-year floodplain, as required by code for safe access. Is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable use of the property; Yes The variance for fill is the minimum necessary to build the bridge to a height that will allow safe access to the site across the floodplain. Does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences. Yes A flood study has been completed and reviewed by the City of Austin to prove no adverse impact to other properties. The bridge piers have been placed to minimize the impact to the waterway and existing wetland CEFs. Existing impervious cover in the CEF and CWQZ will be removed, and a CEF mitigation and floodplain mitigation plan has been proposed and reviewed by City of Austin staff. Development with the variance will result in water quality that is at least equal to the water quality achievable without the variance. Yes Full water quality treatment for the proposed impervious cover on site will be provided with the site plan. Water Quality treatment will be provided at the full measure required by the code. b) c) B. The Land Use Commission may grant a variance from a requirement of Section 30-5-422 (Water Supply Suburban Water Quality Transition Zone), Section 30-5- 452 (Water Supply Rural Water Quality Transition Zone), Section 30-5 -482 (Barton Springs Zone Water Quality Transition Zone), Section 30-5 -368 (Restrictions on Development Impacting Lake Austin, Lady Bird Lake, and Lake Walter E. Long), or Article 7, Division 1 (Critical Water Quality Zone Restrictions), after determining that:: The criteria for granting a variance in Subsection (A) are met; Yes The criteria for granting the variance are met. Page 3 of 464 of 2356 2. 3. The requirement for which a variance is requested prevents a reasonable, economic use of the entire property; Yes The property is not accessible without building a bridge to the proposed height, which requires the fill that needs the variance. The variance is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable, economic use of the entire property. Yes The proposed fill is the minimum necessary to build the bridge to access the property. Staff Determination: Staff determines that the findings of fact have been met. Staff recommends the following conditions: 1. The applicant will pay into the Riparian Zone Mitigation Fund for both the area of Zone 1 (Floodplain outside of the CWQZ) and the area of Zone 2 (Floodplain within the CWQZ) using the appropriate ratios per ECM 1.7.6. 2. Development of the site will be carried out as described in Exhibits 1-6, attached in the staff variance packet.

Include an explanation with each applicable finding of fact. A. City Code: Land Use Commission variance determinations from Chapter 30-5-41 of the 1. The requirement will deprive the applicant of a privilege available to owners of similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development subject to similar code requirements. Yes Two roads border the site, SH 130 and Parmer Ln. SH 130 cannot be used for access, because there is a Restriction of Access recorded for SH 130, which TxDOT will not support lifting or modifying for a full access driveway. Regarding Parmer Ln., the entirety of the Parmer Ln. frontage is located within floodplain and creek buffer. In addition, access is blocked by wetlands. Variances have been granted in similarly restrictive circumstances to allow necessary access to a site. The Critical Water Quality Zone variance is required because floodplain modification is necessary to offset the floodplain volume displaced by the bridge. There are no adverse impacts proposed to the floodplain elevations on adjacent properties with the proposed improvements, per the requirements of the code. 2. The variance: a) Is not necessitated by the scale, layout, construction method, or other design decision made by the applicant, unless the design decision provides greater overall environmental protection than is achievable without the variance; Page 5 of 466 of 2356 b) c) Yes The variance is not necessitated by decisions made by the applicant. Development of the site is not possible without grading of the floodplain to offsite the volume displaced by the bridge. The bridge is necessary to access the site across the floodplain. Is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable use of the property; Yes The proposed floodplain modification is the minimum necessary to build the bridge as required by code for safe access, with the low chord of the bridge two feet above the water surface elevation of the 100-year floodplain. Does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences. Yes The variance does not create a probability of harmful environmental consequences. A flood study has been completed and reviewed by the City of Austin to prove no adverse flooding impact to other properties. The bridge piers have been placed to minimize the impact to the existing wetlands, and a wetland mitigation and floodplain mitigation plan has approved by City staff. Development with the variance will result in water quality that is at least equal to the water quality achievable without the variance. Yes Water quality will be equal to or better than water quality without the variance. Existing, untreated impervious cover in the floodplain will be removed. All newly proposed impervious cover will receive full, code compliant water quality treatment. The Land Use Commission may grant a variance from a requirement of Section 30-5-422 (Water Supply Suburban Water Quality Transition Zone), Section 30-5- 452 (Water Supply Rural Water Quality Transition Zone), Section 30-5 -482 (Barton Springs Zone Water Quality Transition Zone), Section 30-5 -368 (Restrictions on Development Impacting Lake Austin, Lady Bird Lake, and Lake Walter E.

The mitigation requirement may be satisfied by: (1) Paying into the Water Supply Mitigation Fund (see Option 1 Worksheet); (2) Transferring mitigation land to the City of Austin or placing restrictions on mitigation land through a conservation easement (see Option 2 Worksheet); or (3) A combination of these mitigation methods (see Option 1 and Option 2 Worksheets). Section 30-5-261 of the Land Development Code (Critical Water Quality Zone Development) allows for payment into the Riparian Zone Mitigation Fund as mitigation for a utility line in urban and suburban watersheds located parallel to and within the Critical Water Quality Zone (CWQZ) if on-site restoration is infeasible, in accordance with Section 1.5 of this manual. If land is dedicated or restricted, it must be approved by the City and the applicant must file in the deed records a restrictive covenant, approved by the city attorney, that runs with the transferring tract and describes the restrictions on development and vegetation management. In addition, the applicant shall pay all costs of restricting the mitigation land or transferring the mitigation land to the City, including the costs of: (a) an environmental site assessment without any recommendations for further clean-up, certified to the City not earlier than the 120th day before the closing date transferring land to the City; (b) a category 1(a) land title survey, certified to the City and the title company not earlier than the 120th day before the closing date transferring land to the City; (c) a title commitment with copies of all Schedule B and C documents, and an owner's title policy; (d) a fee simple deed, or, for a restriction, a restrictive covenant approved as to form by the city attorney; (e) taxes prorated to the closing date; (f) recording fees; and charges or fees collected by the title company. The mitigation land must also have acceptable operating & maintenance (O&M) conditions, as approved by the proposed land manager. The presence of an outstanding environmental feature or attribute may allow the mitigation land to deviate slightly from the previous criteria where desirable and appropriate, pending approval from the Director of the Watershed Protection Department. If the applicant is placing restrictions on the mitigation land, the conservation easement must be approved and recorded prior to the issuance of a development permit.

The project will include the development of a new multi-family complex and a new industrial complex. Necessary infrastructure (access, utilities, water quality/detention ponds, parking and covered parking, etc.) is also included in the proposed plan. The site is in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction of the City of Austin, Texas and is located west of SH-130, north of Parmer Lane, and south of Harris Branch. The unplatted subject tract is comprised of four (4) tracts of land with parcel numbers and legal descriptions as follows: • 247979: ABS 794 SUR 42 WILBARGER J ACR 28.474 (1-D-1) • 526010: ABS 690 SUR 54 SANDERS W H ABS 794 SUR 42 WILBARGER J ACR 3.000 • 236741: ABS 690 SUR 54 SANDERS W H ACR 1.230 • 236750: ABS 690 SUR 54 SANDERS W H ACR 10.3200 The property is located within the Gilleland Creek Watershed and Harris Branch Watershed, which are classified as Suburban Watersheds. A northern portion and southern portion of this tract are within the boundaries of the 100-year flood of a waterway within the limits of study of the Federal Flood Insurance Administration FIRM No. 48453C0480J, dated August 18, 2014. Water and wastewater service will be provided by the City of Austin. The property is proposed to be platted as two lots. The site is proposed to be developed on the two lots consisting of: • A ±28.47-acre tract of land proposed to be developed with a Light Industrial Use • A ±14.55-acre tract of land proposed to be developed as a multi-family development A variance is being requested to Land Development Code Section 30-5-342 to allow fill over 4 feet. The purpose of this variance is to be able to construct one (1) joint use access driveway to Parmer lane. This will be the only traffic access point for the property, and will serve both proposed developments. The reasons for needing a variance to construct this access are as follows: • The entire property frontage on Parmer lane is within the 100 yr floodplain and Critical Water Quality Zone. Page 27 of 4628 of 2356 8020 Parmer Lane SH 130 NW Project Assessment Sidewalk Variance Request Letter Case Number: C8J-2021-0141.0APA April 19, 2022 Page 2 of 2 • Access is restricted to SH 130 by a recorded control of access, and TxDOT has confirmed they will not consider releasing the control of access for a daily use access point. • The only option for access to the property is to build a bridge crossing over the existing waterway (Gilleland Creek Tributary 1C) on the southern portion of the site so that the development will have access to Parmer Lane. The site is located on an Imagine Austin corridor, and so LDC 30-5-262(D) allows a driveway to cross the CWQZ if necessary to develop the property. • To make this access connection, a variance to Land Development Code Section 30-5-342 is required to all fill over 4 feet is necessary. Exhibits showing the fill requirement to make the bridge connection are included with this submittal to show the extent of the fill required to building the bridge abutments and approaches. • The minimum fill over 4 feet is proposed to build the bridge so that the low chord of the bridge is 2’ above the 100 yr water surface elevation of the 100 yr floodplain, as required for safe access by code. This variance request is necessary for the reasonable, economic development of the subject tract. The minimum necessary deviations from the code are proposed to make a single access point to the site possible. No floodplain adverse impacts to adjacent properties are proposed, and a flood study, environmental study, and mitigation plans have been prepared and reviewed by city staff to enhance the floodplain area and better the environmental conditions on site. Thank you for your consideration of this variance request. Please contact our office if you have any questions or need additional information regarding this variance request.

The proposed drainage areas generally respect the existing watershed division, and separate water quality and detention systems will be provided for the two different analysis points for each watershed. The slopes range from 0% to greater than 25% on the site. The elevation range on site is approximately 533 to 581 MSL. The project site is depicted within the “Northern Blackland Prairie Level IV” eco City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 2 Page 30 of 4631 of 2356April 19, 2022 region of Texas. The vegetation identified on the project site largely reflects vegetation common to this eco region (Cedar Elm, Ashe Juniper, Sugar Hackberry, Texas Pricklypead, Annual Bastard Cabbage, Johnson grass, Maximilian Sunflower, etc). A tree survey was not completed as the site is within the ETJ. The site soils consist of hydrologic group D soils such as Heiden clay, Houston Black clay, and Tinn Clay soils according to the USDA soil survey. There are existing critical water quality zones on both the north and south portions of the property. There are also existing wetland CEFs within the Critical Water Quality Zone on the south site of the site. The northern portion and southern portion of this tract are also within the boundaries of the 100-year flood of a waterway within the limits of study of the Federal Flood Insurance Administration FIRM No. 48453C0480J, dated August 18, 2014. City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 3 Page 31 of 4632 of 2356April 19, 2022 Clearly indicate in what way the proposed project does not comply with current Code (include maps and exhibits) The entire property frontage on Parmer Lane is within the 100 yr floodplain and Critical Water Quality Zone. Access is restricted to SH 130 by a recorded control of access and TxDOT has confirmed they will not consider releasing the control of access for a daily access point. The only option for access to the property is to build a bridge crossing over the existing waterway (Gilleland Creek Tributary 1C) on the southern portion of the site so that the development will have access to Parmer Lane. The site is located on an Imagine Austin corridor, therefore LDC 30-5-262(D) allows a driveway to cross the CWQZ if necessary to develop the property. There is an existing access driveway on Parmer in the location of the proposed bridge, but future access will need to provide a drive that meets the Fire Departments (ESD #12) approval and Travis County design standards. As a result, the low cord of the bridge must be a minimum of 2 feet above the 100 yr water surface elevation of the floodplain. This requires filling in the floodplain to build the bridge approach and abutment at the required elevation above the floodplain, and also results in some additional grading in the floodplain and Critical Water Quality Zone to provide additional floodplain volume to offset the effect of the bridge. No adverse impacts to other properties are proposed with these improvements. To make this access connection, a variance to Land Development Code Section 30-5-342 to allow fill over 4 feet is necessary. Exhibits showing the fill requirement to make the bridge connection are included with this submittal to show the extent of the fill required to building the bridge abutments and approaches. City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 4 Page 32 of 4633 of 2356April 19, 2022 An additional variance to Land Development Code section 30-5-261 (G) to allow floodplain modification in the Critical Water Quality Zone is also required, however a separate variance submittal has been prepared and submitted for evaluation of that variance. FINDINGS OF FACT As required in LDC Section 30-5-41, in order to grant a variance, the Land Use Commission must make the following findings of fact: Include an explanation with each applicable finding of fact. Project: 8020 Parmer Lane/SH 130 NW Project Assessment Ordinance: Ord. 031211-11; Ord. 031211-42; Ord. No. 20170615-102 , Pt. 48, 6-15-17. Land Use Commission variance determinations from Chapter 30-5-41 of the City Code: A. 1. The requirement will deprive the applicant of a privilege available to owners of similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development subject to similar code requirements. Yes: Without this variance, the site will not have any driveway access points for traffic to access the property. The site is undevelopable without an access point. There is a Restriction of Access recorded for SH 130, which TxDOT will not support lifting or modifying a full access driveway. The entirety of the Parmer frontage is located within the floodplain in existing conditions. Therefore, fill greater than 4’ is required to build a bridge abutment and connecting drive approaches that are above the 100 yr water surface elevation of the floodplain. 2. The variance: a) Is not necessitated by the scale, layout, construction method, or other design decision made by the applicant, unless the design decision provides greater overall environmental protection than is achievable without the variance. Yes: There is no development of any scale possible without a driveway access point. No driveway access point is achievable for this property without a variance. City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 5 Page 33 of 4634 of 2356April 19, 2022 c) b) Is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable use of the property. Yes : The minimum fill over 4 feet is proposed to build the bridge so that the low chord of the bridge is 2’ above the 100 yr water surface elevation of the 100 yr floodplain, as required for safe access by code. Additionally, two developments will use this access point as a joint use access drive, to limit the modification of the floodplain and environmental features along the property frontage. Please see attached cut and fill exhibits. Does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences. Yes: A flood study has been completed and reviewed by the City of Austin to prove no adverse impact to other properties. The bridge piers have been place to minimize the impact to the existing wetland CEFs, and a CEF mitigation and floodplain restoration plan has been proposed and reviewed by City of Austin staff. 3. Development with the variance will result in water quality that is at least equal to the water quality achievable without the variance. Yes: Full water quality treatment for the proposed impervious cover on site will be provided with the site plan. Water Quality treatment will be provided at the full measure required by the code. There is existing impervious cover on site and in the floodplain from which run off is not currently treated, the proposed development will remove this and full treat the proposed impervious cover. B. Additional Land Use Commission variance determinations for a requirement of Section 30-5-422 (Water Quality Transition Zone), Section 30-5-452 (Water Quality Transition Zone), Article 7, Division 1 (Critical Water Quality Zone Restrictions), or Section 30-5-368 (Restrictions on Development Impacting Lake Austin, Lady Bird Lake, and Lake Walter E. Long): 1. 2. 3. The criteria for granting a variance in Subsection (A) are met; Yes: The criteria for Subsection (A) are met, per the descriptive narratives provided in this document and the supporting exhibits The requirement for which a variance is requested prevents a reasonable, economic use of the entire property. Yes: There is no development of any scale possible without a driveway access point. No driveway access point is achievable for this property without a variance. The variance is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable, economic use of the entire property. City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 6 Page 34 of 4635 of 2356April 19, 2022 Yes: The minimum fill over 4 feet is proposed to build the bridge so that the low chord of the bridge is 2’ above the 100 yr water surface elevation of the 100 yr floodplain, as required for safe access by code.

The project will include the development of a new multi-family complex and a new industrial complex. Necessary infrastructure (access, utilities, water quality/detention ponds, parking and covered parking, etc.) is also included in the proposed plan. The site is in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction of the City of Austin, Texas and is located west of SH-130, north of Parmer Lane, and south of Harris Branch. The unplatted subject tract is comprised of four (4) tracts of land with parcel numbers and legal descriptions as follows: • 247979: ABS 794 SUR 42 WILBARGER J ACR 28.474 (1-D-1) • 526010: ABS 690 SUR 54 SANDERS W H ABS 794 SUR 42 WILBARGER J ACR 3.000 • 236741: ABS 690 SUR 54 SANDERS W H ACR 1.230 • 236750: ABS 690 SUR 54 SANDERS W H ACR 10.3200 The property is located within the Gilleland Creek Watershed and Harris Branch Watershed, which are classified as Suburban Watersheds. A northern portion and southern portion of this tract are within the boundaries of the 100-year flood of a waterway within the limits of study of the Federal Flood Insurance Administration FIRM No. 48453C0480J, dated August 18, 2014. Water and wastewater service will be provided by the City of Austin. The property is proposed to be platted as two lots. The site is proposed to be developed on the two lots consisting of: • A ±28.47-acre tract of land proposed to be developed with a Light Industrial Use • A ±14.55-acre tract of land proposed to be developed as a multi-family development A variance is being requested to Land Development Code Section Variance to 30-5-261(G) to allow floodplain modification in the Critical Water Quality Zone. The purpose of this variance is to be able to construct one (1) joint use access driveway to Parmer lane. This will be the only traffic access point for the property, and will serve both proposed developments. The reasons for needing a variance to construct this access are as follows: Page 37 of 4638 of 2356 8020 Parmer Lane SH 130 NW Project Assessment Sidewalk Variance Request Letter Case Number: C8J-2021-0141.0APA April 19, 2022 Page 2 of 2 • The entire property frontage on Parmer lane is within the 100 yr floodplain and Critical Water Quality Zone. • Access is restricted to SH 130 by a recorded control of access, and TxDOT has confirmed they will not consider releasing the control of access for a daily use access point. • The only option for access to the property is to build a bridge crossing over the existing waterway (Gilleland Creek Tributary 1C) on the southern portion of the site so that the development will have access to Parmer Lane. The site is located on an Imagine Austin corridor, and so LDC 30-5-262(D) allows a driveway to cross the CWQZ if necessary to develop the property. • To make this access connection, a variance to Land Development Code Section 30-5-261(G) to allow floodplain modification in the Critical Water Quality Zone is necessary. Fill is required to build a bridge abutment and connecting drive approaches within the floodplain area. Cut is also required within the floodplain to offset the floodplain volume displaced by the bridge. Exhibits showing the grading requirements to make the bridge connection are included with this submittal to show the extent of the cut and fill required to building the bridge abutments and approaches. • The minimum grading modification in the floodplain and Critical Water Quality Zone is proposed to build the bridge so that the low chord of the bridge is 2’ above the 100 yr water surface elevation of the 100 yr floodplain, as required for safe access by code. This variance request is necessary for the reasonable, economic development of the subject tract. The minimum necessary deviations from the code are proposed to make a single access point to the site possible. No floodplain adverse impacts to adjacent properties are proposed, and a flood study, environmental study, and mitigation plan have been prepared and reviewed by city staff to enhance the floodplain area and better the environmental conditions on site.

Existing 156,380 SF 3.60 acres 10.8% Proposed 1,019,330 SF 23.40 acres 60.0% The subject property is located at the northwest corner of the Parmer Lane and SH 130 intersection and consists of two tracts located in the Austin ETJ: • A ±28.47-acre tract of land proposed to be developed with a Light • A ±14.55-acre tract of land proposed to be developed as a multi-family Industrial Use development This site The existing site currently generally sloped to the northeast and southwest and is split between two suburban watersheds, Harris Branch and Gilleland Creek. The proposed drainage areas generally respect the existing watershed division, and separate water quality and detention systems will be provided for the two different analysis points for each watershed. The slopes range from 0% to greater than 25% on the site. The elevation range on site is approximately 533 to 581 MSL. The project site is depicted within the “Northern Blackland Prairie Level IV” eco City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 2 Request Impervious cover square footage: acreage: percentage: Provide general description of the property (slope range, elevation range, summary of vegetation / trees, summary of the geology, CWQZ, WQTZ, CEFs, floodplain, heritage trees, any other notable or outstanding characteristics of the property) Page 40 of 4641 of 2356April 19, 2022 region of Texas. The vegetation identified on the project site largely reflects vegetation common to this eco region (Cedar Elm, Ashe Juniper, Sugar Hackberry, Texas Pricklypead, Annual Bastard Cabbage, Johnson grass, Maximilian Sunflower, etc). A tree survey was not completed as the site is within the ETJ. The site soils consist of hydrologic group D soils such as Heiden clay, Houston Black clay, and Tinn Clay soils according to the USDA soil survey. There are existing critical water quality zones on both the north and south portions of the property. There are also existing wetland CEFs within the Critical Water Quality Zone on the south site of the site. The northern portion and southern portion of this tract are also within the boundaries of the 100-year flood of a waterway within the limits of study of the Federal Flood Insurance Administration FIRM No. 48453C0480J, dated August 18, 2014. City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 3 Page 41 of 4642 of 2356April 19, 2022 Clearly indicate in what way the proposed project does not comply with current Code (include maps and exhibits) The entire property frontage on Parmer lane is within the 100 yr floodplain and Critical Water Quality Zone. Access is restricted to SH 130 by a recorded control of access, and TxDOT has confirmed they will not consider releasing the control of access for a daily access point. The only option for access to the property is to build a bridge crossing over the existing waterway (Gilleland Creek Tributary 1C) on the southern portion of the site so that the development will have access to Parmer Lane. The site is located on an Imagine Austin corridor, and so LDC 30-5-262(D) allows a driveway to cross the CWQZ if necessary to develop the property. There is an existing access driveway on Parmer in the location of the proposed bridge, but future access will need to provide a drive that meets the Fire Departments (ESD #12) approval and Travis County design standards. As a result, the low cord of the bridge must be a minimum of 2 feet above the 100 yr water surface elevation of the floodplain. This requires filling in the floodplain to build the bridge approach and abutment at the required elevation above the floodplain, and also results in some additional grading in the floodplain and Critical Water Quality Zone to provide additional floodplain volume to offset the effect of the bridge. No adverse impacts to other properties are proposed with these improvements. To make this access connection, a variance to Land Development Code Section 30-5-261(G) to allow floodplain modification in the Critical Water Quality Zone is necessary. Exhibits showing the grading required in the floodplain and Critical Water Quality Zone to make the bridge connection are included with this submittal. This grading is necessary to City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 4 Page 42 of 4643 of 2356April 19, 2022 construct the bridge at an appropriate elevation above the floodplain and offset the floodplain volume displaced by the proposed bridge and abutments. The grading to offset the displaced volume is necessary to prevent rises in the floodplain elevation offsite. No adverse impacts to other properties are proposed. An additional variance to Land Development Code section Variance to 30-5-342 to allow fill over 4 feet is also required, however a separate variance submittal has been prepared and submitted for evaluation of that variance. FINDINGS OF FACT As required in LDC Section 30-5-41, in order to grant a variance the Land Use Commission must make the following findings of fact: Include an explanation with each applicable finding of fact.
