There are three creek channels that converge on-site then flow west through the center of the property. Portions of the dry creek bed have steeper slopes. The lot has both gentle and steep slopes in the range of 0-15%. The site contains an Erosion Hazard Zone, Critical Water Quality Zone that runs through the center of the site, and wetlands within the eastern portion of the site. The site contains a heritage tree which aligns with the proposed Loyola Lane driveway. The site contains a 100-year fully developed floodplain along the creek centerlines. Per the Functional Assessment of Floodplain Health, the area of floodplain proposed for modification is currently in good condition. City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 3 04 SP-2022-0567C - RBI Austin Youth Development Complex; District 13 of 28 March 28, 2025 Clearly indicate in what way the proposed project does not comply with current Code (include maps and exhibits) This project proposes grading and a crossing within the CWQZ and modification of the 100-year full developed floodplain within the CWQZ. This site is located in the Colony Park Station Imagine Austin Center and off of the Loyola Lane Imagine Austin Corridor. This designation permits a street or driveway to cross the CWQZ within the property in accordance with LDC 25-8-262.D, however, a variance is required to allow a bridge crossing and associated floodplain modifications within the CWQZ. In order to provide safe access to the southern half of the property, we request a variance to allow modifications of the floodplain within the CWQZ. Floodplain modifications within the CWQZ is necessary not only to make the crossing but to preserve a heritage tree and avoid impacting a CEF buffer within the property with the crossing. FINDINGS OF FACT As required in LDC Section 25-8-41, in order to grant a variance the Land Use Commission must make the following findings of fact: Include an explanation with each applicable finding of fact. Project: RBI Austin Child Development Complex Ordinance: A. Land Use Commission variance determinations from Chapter 25-8-41 of the City Code: 1. The requirement will deprive the applicant of a privilege available to owners of similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development subject to similar code requirements. Yes / No [provide summary of justification for determination] The site is located within the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan which allows a necessary crossing within the Critical Water Quality Zone per section 25-8-262 of Title 25 in the City of Austin Land Development Code. The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan was adopted by Ordinance No. 20120614-058 which aims to facilitate the development of the corridor for the benefit of the community. A non-profit organization is proposing a baseball and softball facility for underserved youth in the Austin community and aims to add value to the local area’s population. This variance will allow City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 4 04 SP-2022-0567C - RBI Austin Youth Development Complex; District 14 of 28 March 28, 2025 access to and development of the southern half of the subject tract similar to the other properties along the Imagine Austin Corridor. This site is constrained to the proposed driveway location due to the existing CEF buffer that occupies the eastern portion of the site, a hazardous pipeline setback, the creeks running east to west through the middle of the site, a protected tree, and a heritage tree located within 100 feet of a classified waterway on-site. The proposed crossing will be in the form of a bridge that spans the creek but must form a Y within the CWQZ to preserve a protected tree and heritage tree. The impacts of the bridge on the 100-year fully developed floodplain requires grading modification within the CWQZ in order to provide safe access above the 100- year floodplain elevation to the southern half of the site. The floodplain modification within the CWQZ required to preserve the heritage tree and construct the bridge impacts the grading within the floodplain. The site plan layout is limited by the existing environmental features on the site which includes multiple waterways (creeks), a heritage tree, a protected tree, CEF buffers, EHZ, and CWQZ. According to the Functional Assessment of Floodplain Health, the area of floodplain proposed for modification is currently in good condition. The site proposes a baseball field, softball field, small building, associated drives & parking, and required water quality controls. 2. The variance: a) Is not necessitated by the scale, layout, construction method, or other design decision made by the applicant, unless the design decision provides greater overall environmental protection than is achievable without the variance; Yes / No [provide summary of justification for determination] The variance is necessitated to: 1. Provide pedestrian and vehicular access into the site from the public right- of-way and Imagine Austin Corridor on Loyola Lane. Access will be provided via a driveway from Loyola Lane that crosses the creek via a bridge. 2. Provide pedestrian and vehicular access through the site in a way that preserves an existing heritage and protected tree and reduces impacts to the greatest extent possible to the CEF buffer, EHZ, floodplain, and CWQZ. The location of the crossing is limited by the existing CEF buffer that occupies the eastern portion of the site from the north to south boundaries, the creeks running east to west through the middle of the site, the CWQZ, EHZ, a protected tree, and a heritage tree located within 100 feet of a classified waterway. All of these constraints limit the location of the crossing as well as it’s Y shape configuration. The protected tree and heritage tree are adjacent to each other. Both are located south of the waterway and outside of the CEF buffer meaning that it City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 5 04 SP-2022-0567C - RBI Austin Youth Development Complex; District 15 of 28 March 28, 2025 resides in the limited area where proposed site improvements (buildings, fields, ponds, parking, etc.) are allowed. Per § 25-8-641 of the City of Austin Land Development Code, removal of a heritage is prohibited unless a variance is approved. The condition of the heritage tree would make it unlikely for a variance to be approved. There is not an alternative route around the classified waterway to access the southern half of the site due to multiple constraints and the fact that the classified waterway runs east to west across the entire site. The only public right-of-way is located along the northern site border. There is an existing City of Austin property to the east, and the properties to the south and west are privately owned with a residential use. There are three waterways that converge near the center of the site, so the only space to cross the waterways is along the western half of the site. The CWQZ, floodplain, & EHZ surround the waterway and must be crossed. The majority of developable land on the site is located south of the CWQZ & EHZ areas. Development of land on the north side of the CWQZ & EHS is restricted due to limited space and its proximity to a hazardous pipeline setback along Loyola Lane. The hazardous pipeline setback does not allow for buildings to be placed within it. The space on the northern half of the site that lies between the CWQZ/EHZ and the hazardous pipeline setback is not enough space for the proposed fields, building, parking and drives. b) Is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable use of the property; Yes / No [provide summary justification for determination] The challenge to meet the requirements of the City of Austin Wetlands, Floodplain, and Environmental departments has led to the proposed site plan configuration. The location of the crossing grants compliance with floodplain requirements, protected tree, and heritage tree criteria and limits development within the CEF buffer, EHZ, and CWQZ. The amount of proposed fill within the floodplain is less than 1% of the total floodplain volume per the requirements from the Floodplain Department. In order to achieve <1% net fill of the existing floodplain, grading within the floodplain had to be increased to accommodate the bridge structure and roadway across the creek. Without the waterway crossing and associated floodplain grading, the southern half of the site would be unable to be developed or accessed. c) Does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences. Yes / No [provide summary justification for determination] City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 6 04 SP-2022-0567C - RBI Austin Youth Development Complex; District 16 of 28 March 28, 2025 The crossing location provides minimal impacts to the environmental aspects of the site. The heritage tree and protected trees are allowed to remain, the CEF buffer is undisturbed by the crossing, and there is <1% of proposed net fill of the existing floodplain volume per the Floodplain requirements. The crossing and floodplain modifications do not have any adverse effects on the off-site floodplain. The disturbed area will be revegetated per standards provided by the Environmental department. A riparian restoration plan will be proposed for the floodplain modifications caused by the crossing & bridge impacts. Any restoration or mitigation that cannot be provided on-site will be paid into the Riparian Restoration fund per the standards in Section 1.7.5 of the Environmental Criteria Manual. Per zoning case C14-2020-0080, the zoning was changed from SF-2 (Single Family Residence – Standard Lot) to GR (Community Commercial). Under SF-2 zoning, the maximum allowable impervious cover is 45%, and GR zoning allows up to 90%. The current site plan is proposing 31% impervious cover under GR zoning which is significantly lower than what is allowed. The turf baseball field is included as impervious cover and makes up a large part of the impervious cover. The remaining proposed impervious cover is limited to what is necessary for the functionality of the site and what is required by COA Land Development Code. 3. Development with the variance will result in water quality that is at least equal to the water quality achievable without the variance. Yes / No [provide summary justification for determination] Development with the variance will not have any foreseeable effects on water quality. Runoff being conveyed to the floodplain will be treated by passing through stormwater quality measures. B. Additional Land Use Commission variance determinations for a requirement of Section 25-8-422 (Water Quality Transition Zone), Section 25-8-452 (Water Quality Transition Zone), Article 7, Division 1 (Critical Water Quality Zone Restrictions), or Section 25-8-368 (Restrictions on Development Impacting Lake Austin, Lady Bird Lake, and Lake Walter E. Long): 1. The criteria for granting a variance in Subsection (A) are met; Yes / No [provide summary of justification for determination] As stated previously, The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan aims to facilitate the development of the corridor for the benefit of the community. A non-profit organization is proposing a baseball and softball facility for underserved youth in the Austin community and aims to add value to the local area’s population. The variance is due to the site constraints with environmental features in order to allow reasonable use of the property. The development will not impact water quality. City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 7 04 SP-2022-0567C - RBI Austin Youth Development Complex; District 17 of 28 March 28, 2025 2. The requirement for which a variance is requested prevents a reasonable, economic use of the entire property; Yes / No [provide summary of justification for determination] The site will serve the community and is being developed by a non-profit organization. The underserved youth of Austin will use the site for recreation. The proposed use of a baseball/softball field requires adequate space for fields, sport stands, and associated buildings, and there is not enough space north of the creek for all necessary improvements. The lack of access to the southern half of the site means that the property cannot be used at all for its proposed purpose. 3. The variance is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable, economic use of the entire property. Yes / No [provide summary of justification for determination] The existing environmental features and on-site waterways limit the developable area. Removing the crossing would make the site unusable for the proposed improvements. The north portion of the site that is outside of the CEF, CWQZ, & EHZ does not provide enough space for the sports fields and is located within a restricted pipeline area which restricts the development of structures. The proposed driveway and access from Loyola Lane will require modification of the floodplain within the CWQZ. The entrance is limited due to the surrounding sites and the waterways. **Variance approval requires all above affirmative findings.

This site is located in the Colony Park Station Imagine Austin Center and off of the Loyola Lane Imagine Austin Corridor. This designation permits a street or driveway to cross the CWQZ within the property in accordance with LDC 25-8-262.D, however, a variance is required to allow cut and fill in excess of 4' within 100 feet of a classified waterway to construct a driveway crossing to access the southern half of the site. A bridge in excess of 8' in height is required to safely cross the CWQZ above the 100 year floodplain elevation. In order to provide safe access to the southern half of the property, we request a variance to allow cut and fill in excess of 4' within 100' of the CWQZ centerline. Cut and fill within the CWQZ is necessary not only to make the crossing but to preserve a heritage tree and avoid impacting a CEF buffer within the property with the crossing. FINDINGS OF FACT As required in LDC Section 25-8-41, in order to grant a variance the Land Use Commission must make the following findings of fact: Include an explanation with each applicable finding of fact.

A non-profit organization is proposing a baseball and softball facility for underserved youth in the Austin community and aims to add value to the local area’s population. This variance will allow access to and development of the southern half of the subject tract similar to the other properties along the Imagine Austin Corridor. This site is constrained to the proposed driveway location due to the existing CEF buffer that occupies the eastern portion of the site, the hazardous pipeline setback, the creeks running east to west through the middle of the site, a protected tree, and a heritage tree located within 100 feet of a classified waterway on-site. The proposed crossing will be in the form of a bridge that spans the creek but must form a Y within the CWQZ to preserve a protected tree and heritage tree. The impacts of the bridge on the 100-year fully-developed floodplain requires cut and fill over 4’ within the CWQZ in order to provide safe access above the 100-year floodplain elevation to the southern half of the site; engineering efforts were made to the grading to minimize the areas requiring cut and fill >4’ within the CWQZ. Additionally, the bridge crossing design has been revised to keep proposed fill under 8’. The amount of fill required to preserve the heritage tree, protected tree, and construct the bridge impacts the floodplain and requires approximately the same amount of cut to balance the floodplain volume across the site. In addition to the cut and fill >4’ within the CWQZ & classified waterway, other areas of the site require cut greater than 4’ such as the proposed baseball field, covered practice field, water quality ponds, and for a section of the driveway. The grading on the two proposed sports fields is necessary to achieve grading that allows for the use of these sports fields. An administrative variance has been approved for the areas outside of the CWQZ requiring cut and fill over 4’. The site plan layout is limited by the existing environmental features on the site which includes multiple waterways (creeks), a heritage tree, a protected tree, CEF buffers, EHZ, and CWQZ. The site proposes a baseball field, softball field, small building, associated drives & parking, and required water quality controls. 2.

Provide pedestrian and vehicular access through the site in a way that preserves an existing heritage tree and reduces impacts to the greatest extent possible to the CEF buffer, EHZ, and CWQZ. The location of the crossing is limited by the existing CEF buffer that occupies the eastern portion of the site from the north to south boundaries, the creeks running east to west through the middle of the site, the CWQZ, EHZ, a protected tree, and a heritage tree located within 100 feet of a classified waterway. All of these constraints limit the location of the crossing as well as it’s Y shape configuration. The majority of the crossing resides within the CWQZ where grading exceeds 4’, but the proposed grading within the CWQZ has been minimized as much as possible while also being compliant with compensatory floodplain volume requirements. The heritage tree is located south of the waterway and outside of the CEF buffer meaning that is resides in the limited area where proposed site improvements (buildings, fields, ponds, parking, etc.) are allowed. Per § 25- 8-641 of the City of Austin Land Development Code, removal of a heritage is prohibited unless a variance is approved. The condition of the heritage tree would make it unlikely for a variance to be approved, and the cost of mitigation is not reasonable compared to the proposed site use by a non- profit.

Yes / No [provide summary justification for determination] Although grading within the CWQZ will disturb the natural condition of the area adjacent to and under the proposed crossing, efforts have been made to keep the proposed cut and fill ranging from 4-8 feet to minimal areas and depths. Previously a bridge pillar showed fill >8’ within the CWQZ, but that has been revised to be <8’ of fill. Per the specific methods mentioned below, restoration to these areas within the CWQZ is proposed to reduce environmental impacts from cut and fill >4’. The crossing location provides minimal impacts to the environmental aspects of the site. The heritage tree and protected tree are allowed to remain, and the CEF buffer is undisturbed by the crossing. The disturbed area will be revegetated per standards provided by the Environmental department.
