ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2023-0118 ZONING FROM: I-RR ADDRESS: 7331 And 7333 Bluff Springs Road PROPERTY OWNER: RPM Living (William Krenger) AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Leah Bojo) DISTRICT: 2 ZONING TO: MF-3 SITE AREA: 8.46 acres (368,517 sq. ft.) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant multifamily residence – medium density (MF-3) district zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: December 5, 2023: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 8.46 acres, developed with one building, has access to Bluff Springs Road (level 3) and Dan Pass (level 1), and is currently designated interim-rural- residence (I-RR). The property has single family residences and park (SF-6, SF-4A-CO and P) to the north, single family residences and Kendra Page Neighborhood Park (SF-2, SF-4A- CO and I-RR) to the south and east, and multifamily residences (moderate to high density) and the AISD transportation (MF-4, MF-4-CO and CS-MU-CO) so the west. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). Staff is recommending the multifamily residence (medium density) (MF-3) district zoning as it is a lower multifamily zoning to take into account the single family residences surrounding the property. 05 C14-2023-0118 - 7331 & 7333 Bluff Springs Road; District 21 of 16C14-2023-0000 2 Per the comprehensive plan review comments this site meets three of the Imagine Austin Decision Guidelines. The site adjoins a public sidewalk, shared path, and/or bike lane and is located within 0.25 miles of public transit stop and/or light rail station. It also expands the number of units and housing choice that suits a variety of household sizes, incomes, and lifestyle needs of a diverse population in support of Imagine Austin and the Strategic Housing Blueprint. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. 1. The multifamily residence (medium density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of up to 36 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, generally in more centrally located areas, and in other selected areas where medium density multiple use is desirable. 2. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The proposed zoning would promote compatibility with nearby uses as the properties to the west are developed with multifamily residence-high density (MF-4). The staff recommends the request for MF-3 zoning because the surrounding properties on Bluff Springs Road and Interstate Highway-35 have been rezoned to MF-4 or MF-4-CO with the same intent of providing additional residential units in this area of the city.

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. 05 C14-2023-0118 - 7331 & 7333 Bluff Springs Road; District 24 of 16C14-2023-0000 5 Environmental: The site is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is in the South Boggy Creek and Onion Creek Watershed of the Colorado River Basin, which is 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 Single-Family (minimum lot size 5750 sq. ft.) Other Single-Family or Duplex Multifamily Commercial 50% 55% 60% 80% % of Gross Site Area 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. Under current watershed regulations, development or redevelopment requires water quality control with increased capture volume and control of the 2 year storm on site. At this time, no information has been provided as to whether this property has any preexisting approvals that preempt current water quality or Code requirements. Fire: Acknowledge the ordinance setbacks in the revised letter of intent and if you have an exhibit show the setbacks on that as well for approval. Please refer to Exhibit C (Applicants Summary Letter). 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. The surrounding neighborhood currently lacks sufficient access to neighborhood parks. The future development of the site will require parkland dedication for the new residential units that will serve this neighborhood through the additional park investment. The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) would consider a connection from Bluff Springs Road to 05 C14-2023-0118 - 7331 & 7333 Bluff Springs Road; District 25 of 16C14-2023-0000 6 Kendra Page Neighborhood Park toward satisfying the requirement at time of permitting (whether subdivision or site plan). Such a connection would improve neighborhood connectivity to parkland, a criterion for onsite parkland dedication per City Code Title 25, Article 14. 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: Site plans will be required for any new development other than single-family or duplex residential. Any development which occurs in an SF-6 or less restrictive zoning district which is located 540-feet or less from property in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district will be subject to compatibility development regulations. 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, East, and South property line, the following standards apply:  No structure may be built within 25 feet of the property line.  No structure in excess of two stories or 30 feet in height may be constructed within 50 feet of the property line.  No structure in excess of three stories or 40 feet in height may be constructed within 100 feet of the property line.  No parking or driveways are allowed within 25 feet of the property line.  A landscape area at least 15 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.  For a structure more than 100 feet but not more than 300 feet from property zoned SF-5 or more restrictive, 40 feet plus one foot for each 10 feet of distance in excess of 100 feet from the property zoned SF-5 or more restrictive. 05 C14-2023-0118 - 7331 & 7333 Bluff Springs Road; District 26 of 16C14-2023-0000 7  An intensive recreational use, including a swimming pool, tennis court, ball court, or playground, may not be constructed 50 feet or less from adjoining SF-3 property.  A landscape area at least 15 feet in width is required along the property line if tract is zoned MF-3, MF-4, MF-5, MH, NO, or LO. Additional design regulations will be enforced at the time a site plan is submitted. This tract is already developed, and the proposed zoning change is a footprint within the existing development.

The project is titled 7331 & 7333 Bluff Springs Road and is 8.46 acres of land, located on the east side of Bluff Springs Road between Tranquilo Trail and Quicksilver Boulevard. The Property is in the Full Purpose Jurisdiction of the City of Austin. The Property is currently zoned I-RR (Interim – Rural Residence). The requested rezoning is from I-RR to MF-3 (Multifamily – Medium Density). Currently, the Property is undeveloped. The purpose of the rezoning is to allow for multifamily development on the site. The Property is not located in a Neighborhood Planning Area and has no Future Land Use Map designation. Therefore a Neighborhood Plan Amendment is not necessary. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) is not required, per the attached TIA determination waiver dated August 23, 2023 by Adrianna Morrow. The Property is located within the Williams, Southex and Equilon hazardous pipelines. The proposed development will conform with the requirements in LDC §25-2-516 development near a hazardous pipeline. It will also comply with Section 4 Fire Protection Rules, Table 104.9 minimum construction requirements within 200 feet of a hazardous pipeline. 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. Sincerely, Leah M.

The plan to make this property into an apartment complex is quite problematic given the recent large population growth along Bluff Springs and the recent reduction of lanes which turned this two lane street into a one lane street. There have been numerous apartment complexes that have been constructed here in recent years leading to mass influx of people on the street. Bluff Springs was a notoriously congested roadway even prior to the reduction in lanes where people struggled to get in and out of our neighborhood. The reduction in lanes has greatly magnified the traffic issue. Changing this zoning to allow another apartment complex will only worsen the situation on this road. The AISD bus depot is also on Bluff Springs, near this property, and it is already hard enough as it is for buses to get out of our neighborhood. This bus depot serves students all over the city and they do not need more traffic on this road, impairing their ability to get out of the neighborhood.
