ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2025-0061 (6105 Melrose Trail) DISTRICT: 6 ADDRESS: 6101 and 6105 Melrose Trail ZONING FROM: I-SF-2 SITE AREA: 5.42 acres TO: MF-5 PROPERTY OWNER: Austin White Lime Company (Haley Field) APPLICANT/AGENT: Armbrust & Brown PLLC (Richard T, Suttle, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends MF-3, Multifamily Residence-Medium Density District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 19, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 05 C14-2025-0061 - 6105 Melrose Trail1 of 14 C14-2025-0061 ISSUES: N/A STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The site under consideration is a vacant 5.42 acre lot. The tracts of land to the north, across Melrose Trail, are developed with an apartment complex (MAA Quarry Oaks Apartments) zoned MF-3-CO and a small multifamily development (Melrose Trail Apartment Homes) zoned GR. To the east of Heinemann Drive, there are single-family residences zoned PUD. To the west, there are fourplex and duplex residential uses (Melrose Place Fourplexes and Duplexes) zoned MF-2. The land to the south contains a culvert/detention area zoned PUD. The applicant is requesting MF-5, Multifamily Residence-High Density District, zoning to redevelop this property with approximately 250 multifamily residential units (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff’s recommendation is to grant MF-3, Multi- Family Residence–Medium Density District, zoning. The property in question is located along Level 1/Residential and Level 2/Collector roadways. It does not meet the purpose statement or intensity of the MF-5 district as this site does not front onto a major roadway near transportation options such as Capital Metro bus routes, bus stops or urban trails. The staff’s recommendation of MF-3 zoning is consistent with surrounding zoning patterns. This property is in an area where medium density multifamily residential use is desirable. The lot under consideration is located within 0.22 miles from Parmer Lane Activity Corridor and there are commercial goods and services available along McNeil Drive to the north. The staff’s recommendation of the Multi-Family Residence–Medium Density District will establish permanent zoning at this location and will expand the number of units and available housing choices in this area. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. 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 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. The property in question is located at the southwest intersection of a Level 1/Residential Roadway and a Level 2/Collector Roadway. It does not meet the purpose statement or intensity of the MF-5 district as this site does not front onto a major roadway near transportation options such as Capital Metro bus routes, bus stops or urban trails. 3. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. MF-3 zoning is consistent with surrounding zoning patterns as it is adjacent to existing MF-3- CO zoning to the north and MF-2 zoning along Melrose Trail to the west. This property is in an area where medium density multifamily residential use is desirable. It is within 0.22 miles from Parmer Lane Activity Corridor. There are supportive commercial goods and services available along McNeil Drive to the north. 05 C14-2025-0061 - 6105 Melrose Trail2 of 14EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: ZONING I-SF-2 Site North MF-3-CO, GR PUD South East PUD West MF-2 LAND USES Vacant Multifamily Culvert/Detention Area Single-Family Residences Fourplexes, Duplexes NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING AREA: N/A WATERSHED: Walnut Creek CAPITOL VIEW CORRIDOR: N/A SCENIC ROADWAY: N/A NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Homeless Neighborhood Association, TNR BCP - Travis County Natural Resources SCHOOLS: Round Rock ISD Jollyville Elementary School Deer Park Middle School McNeil High School AREA CASE HISTORIES: REQUEST MF-3-CO to MF-3-CO NUMBER C14-2011-0029 (Colonial at Quarry Oaks: 6263 McNeil Drive) CITY COUNCIL June 23, 2011: Approved MF-3- CO district zoning on consent on 1st reading (7-0); B.

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. Environmental The site is located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is in the Walnut 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 % of Gross Site Area Single-Family (minimum lot size 5750 sq. ft.) Other Single-Family or Duplex Multifamily Commercial 50% 55% 60% 80% with Transfers 60% 60% 70% 90% According to floodplain maps there is a floodplain within or adjacent to the project location. Based upon the location of the floodplain, offsite drainage should be calculated to determine whether a Critical Water Quality Zone exists within 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.

I have reviewed the application for zoning and found one or two potential errors or irregularities to which I wish to draw your attention. On page 10, the section on parkland dedication appears to be incomplete. While the form indicates a parkland dedication is required, the subsequent question remains unanswered with no indication whether the owner intends to provide land or pay a fee in lieu of the dedication. On the same page, the section Transportation Linkages incorrectly lists 'Route 383 (Research Blvd.)' instead of Route 183. I am concerned that the application includes no indication of the planned size of units and as the nearest public transportation is miles away, the addition of 250 family dwellings in a property that previously only had one house for 80 years will affect not only traffic but drainage, noise, pollution, crime, and general safety and character of the neighborhood. I find the traffic numbers on page 4 spurious. 250 units with no nearby public transportation and with no stated indication of unit size could potentially see 2 or 3 cars per unit added to neighborhood traffic with at least two trips per car per day, the total trips per day may easily reach 1500 only in commuter travel before taking into account non-resident traffic such as parcel and food deliveries. This exceeds the proposed 1146 trips by almost 31 percent. In addition, the property is home to numerous very large trees that likely qualify as heritage trees and should be protected. According to the City of Austin Guide to Zoning, page 7, Section II. Zoning Principles, • Zoning should satisfy a public need and not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner; the request should not result in spot zoning. • Granting a request for zoning should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. 05 C14-2025-0061 - 6105 Melrose Trail13 of 14• Granting the zoning should not in any way set an undesirable precedent for other properties in the neighborhood or within other areas of the city. • Zoning should promote a transition between adjacent and nearby zoning districts, land uses, and development intensities. • 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 The proposed zoning violates each of these principles and should be rejected as proposed. While I support growth and density in our city development, for this property I urge the city to consider zoning for density comparable to neighboring multi-family properties and designate this property as MF-2 or MF-3.
