ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 10 TO: GR-MU-V-DB90 CASE: C14-2024-0054 (8200 & 8300 North MoPac) ADDRESS: 8200 & 8300 North MoPac Expressway ZONING FROM: LO, LR SITE AREA: 12.26 acres PROPERTY OWNER: OP 8200 MoPac Property, LLC & OP 8300 MoPac Property, LLC AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GR-MU-V-DB90, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Vertical Mixed Use Building-Density Bonus 90 Combining District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 2, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 2 ISSUES: In December of 2023, Ordinance No. 20220609-080, Ordinance No. 20221201-056 and Ordinance No. 20221201-055 were invalidated. On March 11, 2024, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 20240229-073 to create the “DB90” combining district, which amended City Land Development Code - Title 25 to create a new zoning district for a density bonus program that grants 30 feet in height above the base zoning district, to a maximum of 90 feet, and modifies site development regulations including compatibility standards. Subsequently, the applicant submitted this new rezoning application to request the -DB90 combining district. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 12.26 acre tract of land that is developed with an office complex that has LO zoning, with footprint areas of LR zoning. The lot to the south, across Steck Avenue, contains a vacant restaurant use (Luby’s) that is zoned MF-6. To the north, there are MF-2 and LO zoned lots that are developed with multifamily (Bent Tree Apartments) and office (The Woods II) uses. The land to the west is developed with residential condos (The Arbors) zoned LO. In this application, the property owner is requesting to rezone these lots to GR-MU-V-DB90 zoning to allow for a phased redevelopment of the existing surface parking and office uses. The applicant states that their intent is to support residential, office, and retail uses and allow for participation in the DB90 program. (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). A development utilizing the “density bonus 90” incentives is permitted with a base GR district and must include an affordability component for residential use in order to obtain incentives, including height maximum of 90 feet in the GR district (60 feet maximum in the base district plus 30 feet incentive) and relaxation of development and compatibility standards, such as FAR, setbacks and building coverage. There are several methods of satisfying DB90 development affordability requirements. There are two options for projects including rental units: 1) a minimum of 12% of the rental units in a building are affordable for a 40-year period for households earning 60% or less than the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area MFI; or 2) a minimum of 10% of the rental units are affordable for a 40-year period as described above for households earning 50% or less MFI. There are two options of satisfying DB90 development affordability requirements which include ownership units: 1) a minimum of 12% of the rental units in a building are affordable for a 40-year period for households earning 80% or less than the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area MFI; or 2) an in-lieu-fee payment to the Housing Trust Fund, equivalent to the required percentage of the total residential units, including the mix of bedrooms required, at the rate set in the fee schedule at the time of final site plan submission. 3 The staff recommends GR-MU-V-DB90, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Vertical Mixed Use Building-Density Bonus 90 Combining District, zoning because this property is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of an arterial roadway, Steck Avenue, and a highway, North MoPac Expressway and is near ‘Neighborhood Activity Center’ as identified in the Image Austin Comprehensive Plan. The proposed GR-MU-V-DB90 zoning would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses because this property is adjacent to multifamily, office and commercial zoning. Commercial Mixed-Use zoning overlay will allow a mixture of uses and will permit future additional housing opportunities in this area of the city. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Community Commercial district is intended for office and commercial uses serving neighborhood and community needs, including both unified shopping centers and individually developed commercial sites, and typically requiring locations accessible from major traffic ways. Mixed Use combining district is intended for combination with selected base districts, in order to permit any combination of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. Vertical Mixed Use Building (V) combining district may be applied in combination with any commercial base zoning district and allows for a combination of office, retail, commercial and residential uses within a vertical mixed use building. Density Bonus 90 combining district, in exchange for providing affordable housing units and in combination with commercial base zoning districts, allows a mixture of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses with modifications of compatibility standards and site development regulations including increased building height. 2. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. The proposed GR-MU-V-DB90 zoning will permit the applicant to develop residential units on this site creating additional housing opportunities in this area of the city. There are transportation options in this area to support residential uses as there is a Capital Metro bus stop adjacent to this site on Steck Avenue. 3. 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. Commercial Mixed-Use zoning is appropriate at this location. The property in question is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of an arterial roadway, Steck Avenue, 4 and a highway, North MoPac Expressway. The site is also located near, a ‘Neighborhood Activity Center’ (the Anderson Lane Neighborhood Center), as identified on the Imagine Austin’s Growth Concept Map, found in the Image Austin Comprehensive Plan. 4. Zoning should promote clearly-identified community goals, such as creating employment opportunities or providing for affordable housing. This rezoning authorizes a property to participate in a voluntary density bonus or incentive program that provides modifications to development regulations or other regulatory-related benefits in exchange for community benefits. In exchange for increased development potential, the development is required to comply with affordable housing requirements.

The project is titled 8200 & 8300 North MoPac, consists of 12.26 acres, and is located on the west side of North MoPac Expressway frontage, northwest of the intersection of North MoPac Expressway frontage and Steck Avenue. The Property is currently developed as a multi-story office building. The site is currently zoned LO – Limited Office and LR – Neighborhood Commercial. The requested rezoning is from LO and LR to GR-MU-V-DB90 (Community Commercial-Mixed-Use- Vertical Mixed Use-Density Bonus 90) zoning district. This request is consistent with surrounding uses. The purpose of this proposed rezoning application is to allow for a phased development of the existing surface parking and office uses. The intent is to support residential, office, and retail uses, and allow for participation in the DB90 program. The Property is not located within a Neighborhood Planning Area, therefore a Neighborhood Plan Amendment will not be required with this rezoning request. A Traffic Impact Analysis (“TIA”) Determination Form has been submitted in tandem with this zoning application. We anticipate the TIA will either be waived, or that a Zoning Transportation Analysis will be required. We understand that land use and intensity will be finalized and reviewed with the site development permit application. 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. Very truly yours, Amanda Swor cc: Joi Harden, Planning and Zoning Review Department (via electronic delivery) -2-
