March 5, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2023-0106 ISSUES: CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a 6.30 acre lot that is part of an office/warehouse complex (Braker Center H) at the southeast corner of W. Braker Lane and Metric Boulevard. The site is currently zoned Limited Industrial and is surrounded by LI zoning and office/warehouse uses to the south and east. There is GR zoning across W. Braker Lane to the north that contains retail (Walgreen’s) and a restaurant (Wendy’s) uses. To the west, on the other side of Metric Boulevard, there is another office/warehouse development (Braker Center 5 & 8) that is zoned NBG-NMU-NP. There are existing single family residential developments (SF- 2, SF-3 zoning) further to the north and east off of Metric Boulevard and Braker Lane. In this case, applicant is requesting to add a Planned Development Area overlay to the existing LI base zoning to redevelop the property with approximately 495 multifamily residential units and to permit a 2:1 maximum FAR. The staff recommends LI-PDA, Limited Industrial-Planned Development Area, combining district zoning. The proposed PDA overlay will add the following permitted residential uses: Condominium Residential and Multifamily Residential uses on the site. In addition, the applicant is proposing to prohibit the following commercial and industrial uses: Adult Oriented Businesses, Automotive Repair, Automotive Washing (of any type), Automotive Sales, Bail Bond Services, Basic Industry, Club or Lodge, Drop Off Recycling Collection Facility, Equipment Repair Services, Equipment Sales, Funeral Services, General Warehousing and Distribution, Kennels, Monument Retail Sales, Outdoor Entertainment, Railroad Facilities, Recreational Equipment Maintenance & Storage, Recreational Equipment Sales, Resource Extraction, Recycling Centers, Service Station and Vehicle Storage (please see Applicant’s Request Letter - Exhibit C). The staff supports the applicant’s request for LI-PDA, Limited Industrial Services- Planned Development Area, combining district zoning because the property meets the intent of the zoning district. The tract under consideration is on a moderately sized site that is easily accessible as it is located at the southeast intersection of two arterial roadways, W. Braker Lane and Metric Boulevard. The NBG-NP zoning to the west, across Metric Boulevard, is zoned with the Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU) subdistrict that permits Multifamily, Condominium and Townhouse residential uses as well as office, civic, commercial and low intensity industrial uses. Per the Industrial Study that was presented to the Commissions and City Council in 2020, the staff and the applicant discussed the need for maintaining an industrial base in city to provide for an availability of diverse job types. However, a majority of the units within this office/warehouse development are currently vacant. The applicant has stated that the industrial market in Austin has moved to other areas of the city (please see Applicant’s Request Letter - Exhibit C). Therefore, they are seeking to redevelop this property in a way that is consistent with the permitted conditions in the NBG-NMU-NP properties directly to the west, across Metric Boulevard. The City Council has indicated through current policy (resolutions and code amendments) that the areas in and adjacent to the North Burnet/Gateway Neighborhood Planning area should allow for more intensive zoning, development standards and mixed use. While the applicant has offered to restrict some uses on the property through the PDA overlay, the staff is recommending prohibiting the following additional intensive commercial C14-2023-0106 3 and industrial uses that would not be compatible with the proposed residential development on the site: Agricultural Sales and Services, Building Maintenance Services, Exterminating Services and Outdoor Sports and Recreation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Limited Industrial Service district is intended as an area primarily for commercial services and limited manufacturing uses, generally on moderately sized sites. Planned Development Area combining district is intended for combination with selected commercial and industrial base districts, in order to modify base district provisions as necessary to allow for appropriate industrial and commercial uses or to reflect the terms of a Planned Development Area agreement following annexation of properties subject to such an agreement. 2. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. LI-PDA zoning would allow for a fair and reasonable use of the property because the proposed PDA overlay would make it possible for the applicant to develop additional residential units at the intersection of two arterial roadways, with access to public transportation (Capital Metro bus routes # 142 & 325 and bike lanes along Metric Boulevard). The proposed rezoning expands the number of units and housing opportunities in this area of the city in support of the goals in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan and the Strategic Housing Blueprint. 3. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. The subject property is located along an Activity Corridor (Braker Lane Activity Corridor) and is within the boundaries of a Regional Center (North Burnet/Gateway Station) as defined in the Imagine Austin Growth Concept Map. These centers are and will be the retail, cultural, recreational, and entertainment destinations for Central Texas. These are the places where the greatest density of people and jobs and the tallest buildings in the region will be located. The densities, buildings heights, and overall character of a center will vary depending on location. C14-2023-0106 4 EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: ZONING LAND USES LI Site North GR South LI LI East NBG-NMU-NP West Office/Warehouse (Braker Center Building H) Retail Sales Convenience (Walgreen’s), Restaurant Limited (Wendy’s), U.S. Post Office Office/Warehouse (The Offices at Braker) Office/Warehouse (Braker Center Buildings E, F, D & C) Office/ Warehouse (Braker Center Buildings 5 & 8) NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING AREA: N/A TIA: Not Required WATERSHED: Little Walnut Creek SCHOOLS: Pflugerville I.S.D.

With respect to additional reasoning for the rezoning, we would point out that the industrial market in Austin has largely shifted to areas around Bergstrom Airport, State Highway 130, Hwy 183 and North I-35, as evidenced by the attached Industrial Zoning District Cases map from the City’s March 2020 Analysis of Industrial Land Use and Zoning in Austin, Texas. The map shows the vast majority of rezoning of land to industrial zoning is occurring in these areas rather than in the North Burnet Gateway area. This is because: (1) these locations can readily meet the scale and size of industrial tracts demanded by tenants in today’s industrial market; (2) these locations have easy access to State and Interstate Highways; and (3) these locations are near large manufacturers such as Tesla, Samsung, and others and suppliers to such manufacturers typically choose to locate nearby. 2 Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the proposed rezoning application for the development at 11209 Metric Blvd. As a resident of the neighborhood, I believe it is crucial to address certain aspects of the application that are of great importance to our community. Firstly, I would like to emphasize the need for affordable housing in our neighborhood. The lack of affordable housing options has resulted in many long-time residents being priced out and forced to move further away from the town they call home. I strongly believe that any new development should include provisions for affordable housing to ensure the diversity and stability of our community. Furthermore, the proposed development does not seem to address the pressing issue of traffic congestion and transportation improvements. Our neighborhood already experiences significant congestion at the nearby intersections (Metric/Kramer & Metric/Braker), and the addition of more vehicles from the new development would only exacerbate this problem. It is crucial that any rezoning application includes requirements for traffic and transportation enhancements to alleviate the strain on our neighborhood's infrastructure. Another concern I have is the preservation of the existing heritage trees. These trees are not only a symbol of Austin but also provide our neighborhood with its only walkable 'green space.' It would be a disservice to our environment to even consider removing these trees and a detriment to our community if the development does not include provisions for the maintenance and preservation of these trees. Lastly, I strongly believe that any new development should incorporate mixed-use elements, including retail spaces that can be enjoyed by both existing and new residents. This would foster a sense of community and allow for the blending and integration of different generations within our neighborhood. In conclusion, unless the rezoning application addresses the aforementioned concerns, I cannot support the proposed development. It is crucial that the development includes affordable housing, requirements for traffic and transportation improvements, the maintenance of existing heritage trees, and provisions for mixed-use development. These requirements are essential for the well-being and sustainability of our neighborhood and its residents. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will carefully consider the concerns raised by the community before making any decisions regarding the rezoning application.
