ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 30, 2024: Applicant postponement to March 19, 2024. March 19, 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by the Zoning and Platting Commission. 1 of 1202 C14-2023-0126 - Spicewood Springs Residential; District 10 C14-2023-0095 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tracts consist of two single family homes on approximately 6.5 acres. Both tracts are on the west side of Decker Lane, approximately ½ mile north of the intersection of Decker Lane and Loyola Lane. Loyola Lane is designated as an Imagine Austin Corridor and Colony Park, adjacent to the west of the subject tract, is designated as an Imagine Austin Center. Both Decker Lane and Loyola Lane are designed level 3 ASMP corridor roadways with sidewalks. To the north of the subject tract is a Community Amenity Center/Pool for the Parker Station Development. To the east of the subject tract is the Travis County Expo Center, Expo Center Park and Ride (which is slated to have MetroRapid Bus Service), and Walter E. Long Lake. To the south of the subject tract are seven single family homes. To the west of the subject tract is undeveloped land (Colony Park PUD) and eight single family homes. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The proposed community commercial-mixed use combining district is intended for office and commercial uses serving neighborhood and community needs, and multifamily residential typically requiring locations accessible from major trafficways. The property has access to Decker Lane, which connects with the Manor Expressway (U.S. 290) to the north and serves a range of existing residential, commercial, and civic uses. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. Staff recommends the applicant’s request for community commercial-mixed use combining district given its access to a major roadway (ASMP level 3), location within ½ mile of a designated Activity Corridor, suitability for commercial and recreation uses, and proximity to a range of residential and complementary civic uses. Also noteworthy is the location’s accessibility to the soon to be developed Colony Park Sustainable Community Initiative PUD, and higher quality public transportation assets which are under development across the street.
