ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SITE PLAN REVIEW SHEET CASE NUMBER: SPC-2024-0456C MEETING DATE: September 2, 2025 PROJECT NAME: FSD - Northeast Service Center ADDRESS: 8301 Johnny Morris Rd DISTRICT: 1 WATERSHED: Decker Creek (Suburban Watershed) AREA: 131.79 acres limits of construction APPLICANT: AGENT: Andrew Moore, Project Manager City of Austin, Financial Services 6800 Burleson Rd, Bldg 312, Ste 200 Austin, TX 78744 512-974-7604 Hollis Scheffler, PE Westwood 8701 N. Mopac Expy Suite 320 Austin, TX 78759 (512) 485-0831 CASE MANAGER: Meg Greenfield, (512) 978-4663, meg.greenfield@austintexas.gov EXISTING ZONING: (P) Public PROPOSED USE: The applicant is proposing a service center for the City of Austin Resource Recovery and Fleet Services. The site is currently undeveloped and owned by the City of Austin. This site plan includes associated utilities, drainage, grading, paving, and stormwater infrastructure needed to service the development. Currently, ARR maintains its entire fleet from the Todd Lane location in southeast Austin. ARR requires the use of additional facilities to better service their customers, improve operational efficiencies, reduce long-term operating costs, allow for staff expansion, and reduce the Department’s carbon footprint by providing a northern location to deploy trucks. In addition to directly supporting ARR vehicle needs, the NESC will provide much needed and improved space to support a wide range of fleet assets from lawn mowers to watercraft to Fire/Police/EMS vehicles and Public Works trucks. The NESC will be operational 24 hours a day in the event of an emergency that would require this functionality for an extended period. The development will include a fuel station for ARR, FMSD, and other city vehicles and provide electric vehicle charging. The new buildings will earn a minimum of 3-Star Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) rating and WELL silver standards for administrative office areas and include zero waste building concepts. Additionally, the sustainable building approach will help maintain a neighborly relationship with the surrounding community. 05 SPC-2024-0456C - FSD - NE Service Center; District 11 of 16COMMISSION REQUEST: This site is zoned P (Public) and is greater than one acre in size; therefore, a Conditional Use Permit is required, according to the Land Development Code (Section 25-2-625). § 25-2-625 - PUBLIC (P) DISTRICT REGULATIONS.
