ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT & HILL COUNTRY ROADWAY SITE PLAN REVIEW SHEET CASE NUMBER: SP-88-0052CX(R4) MEETING DATE: October 7, 2025 PROJECT NAME: LISD ES No. 19 Grandview Hills Ancillary Building Project ADDRESS: 12024 Vista Parke Drive DISTRICT: 10 WATERSHED: Lake Travis (Water Supply Rural) AREA: 3.26 acres limits of construction APPLICANT: Leander Independent School District PO BOX 218 Leander, TX 78646 Jeremy Trimble, 512-974-7604 AGENT: Micaela Riggs, EIT AtkinsRéalis (512) 342-3212 CASE MANAGER: Meg Greenfield, (512) 978-4663, meg.greenfield@austintexas.gov EXISTING ZONING: (P) Public & R&D-PDA PROPOSED USE: The Grandview Hills Elementary School site is 40.275 acres owned by Leander Independent School District (LISD). The existing site currently has an elementary school, agricultural barn, and ancillary buildings that enable access for students across the district. The applicant is proposing a site plan revision to add staff and bus parking and a fuel system to an existing elementary school. Proposed improvements include installing a new storm drain network, upsizing the existing storm drain network, and expanding the detention, sedimentation and filtration ponds. Increase in impervious cover is 8 percent. No new buildings are proposed. BACKGROUND: Leander ISD purchased the property from Vista Chemical Company in 2006. LISD revised the 1988 Vista Chemical site plan to build Grandview Elementary School. The zoning remained R&D-PDA when LISD redeveloped the property. Per 25-2-602 uses permitted in a research and development (R&D) district are established by the zoning ordinance establishing the district. Seeing no use limitations in the ordinance aka ‘zoning site plan’ (C14R-87-159(HC)), the educational facilities use is acceptable. In 2000 per C14-00-2055 a 2.4-acre portion of the 40-acre site was rezoned to P (Public) to allow Pedernales Electric Cooperative to operate on the property. The site is now served by Austin Energy. Please refer to attached zoning map. 04 SP-88-0052CX(R4) - LISD ES No. 19 Grandview Hills Ancillary Building Project; District 101 of 29COMMISSION REQUEST #1: 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). COMMISSION REQUEST #2: The site is located within the Moderate Intensity Zone of the RM 620 Hill Country Roadway Corridor, and must be presented to the Zoning and Platting Commission for approval, a Hill Country Roadway Ordinance requirement. The proposed site plan is in compliance with 25-2, Subchapter C, Article 11. SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this site plan.

The existing site currently has an elementary school, agricultural barn, and ancillary buildings that enable access for students across the district. The site is located in the Lake Travis and Bull Creek Watersheds. Water, fire, wastewater, and storm networks are established on site, and a majority of the site falls within the 0% - 15% slope category. The proposed development is 3.26 acres of staff and bus parking and a fuel system. Additional improvements include installing a new storm drain network, upsizing the existing, onsite storm drain network downstream of the new connection, expansion to the detention, sedimentation and filtration basins. The proposed developments will be constructed in one phase. Storm network improvements will utilize curb inlets that connect to HDPE piping, 45- degree wyes, 45-degree bends, and manholes to convey storm runoff for the 2 year, 25 year, and 100 year storms. Piping transitions to Class III reinforced concrete prior to conveyance to the splitter box. The storm network has been designed in accordance with City of Austin’s Drainage Criteria Manual. Existing storm infrastructure will be kept in place unless upsizing is required or existing inlets along the trunk line require replacement. The south end of the site contains several drainage areas that currently discharge into two separate City storm networks: one along Woodbay Parke Drive, which carries runoff northward, and another along Vista Parke Drive, which channels runoff southward. Currently, 2.40 acres of the site contribute to the storm infrastructure along Woodbay Parke Drive. Post-construction, this contribution will be reduced to 1.21 acres. Similarly, the area contributing to the Vista Parke Drive network will decrease from 3.79 acres to 3.16 acres. This reduction in runoff to the City networks is achieved by capturing and redirecting the stormwater onsite. The collected runoff will be conveyed to the north, where it will be managed by a detention and water quality pond. An existing detention and water quality pond will be enlarged to accommodate the increased flows resulting from additional impervious cover. 04 SP-88-0052CX(R4) - LISD ES No. 19 Grandview Hills Ancillary Building Project; District 104 of 29 We are requesting a variance from the City’s requirement for new water quality treatment to use Green Storm Water Quality Infrastructure (GSI). Instead, we propose expanding the existing water quality pond (sedimentation and filtration basin) to provide treatment for all proposed site improvements. The primary reason for this request is the presence of a fueling area on-site, and the frequent presence of fuel tanker trucks refilling the tanks. If a spill were to happen, whether at the fuel tank, or at another location on-site spilling from a truck, the water quality pond will be much more capable than GSI to contain the pollutants. The gate valve at the water quality pond's discharge point can simply be turned off. GSI, such as rain gardens or bio-filtration, would likely need to be replaced in the event of a spill and would not provide adequate containment. Additionally, the site already has a well-established stormwater network, including conveyance pipes and detention/water quality ponds, making the expansion of the existing infrastructure the most feasible and lowest-impact solution. Leander Independent School District (LISD) maintains its own water quality systems and prefers to expand the existing pond for maintenance and cost purposes. Finally, the presence of several karst features on the site presents challenges to localized GSI solutions. The most practical way to manage runoff from the proposed improved areas is to convey it through the existing storm network to the existing water quality pond. The water quality pond has been designed in accordance to ECM 1.6.5 and will effectively treat the runoff. The existing storm network at the north end of the site, feeding into the existing splitter box currently does not currently meet the minimum cover requirements or horizontal separation distances to existing grate inlets along the trunk line. It is assumed that the City granted a waiver for the minimum coverage and minimum horizontal separation requirements. The existing network consists of a 24” HDPE pipe, approved in the 2007 revision 2. The area in question is a grassy infield that does not receive any vehicular traffic flow. To mitigate the flow increase, the existing 24” HDPE pipe will be replaced with a 42” Class III concrete reinforced pipe. The design has attempted to maximize coverage and separation where possible. However, due to the increase in pipe size, there will be an area close to the existing splitter box that will have a minimum of 1.0’ of cover and 0.5’ horizontal separation distance. We ask that the city waive the minimum coverage and minimum horizontal separation distance. The proposed 42” pipe will replace the existing 24” pipe that runs under an existing ditch that collects and conveys water to the pond. An attempt to meet coverage requirements or relocate inlets would impact several drainage areas, the existing playfields, and overall conveyance of the storm network serving the northern pond making it unfeasible. We are submitting a waiver for the Environmental Inventory Resource (ERI) form. LISD has invested in a Phase I and Phase II environmental assessment and any subsequent investigations requested by the city since the inception of Grandview Hills Elementary. All documents have been submitted to the city for review and approval. The findings of these environmental documents have been incorporated into designs that have been done thereafter (the agricultural barn in 2020 and the current improvements being proposed). An Environmental Resource Inventory form would be an additional cost that would impact 04 SP-88-0052CX(R4) - LISD ES No. 19 Grandview Hills Ancillary Building Project; District 105 of 29 schedule and, ultimately, feasibility. All relevant information can be gathered from previously approved documents that was submitted to the city in earlier permitting processes. Additionally, please note that the submitted plan set has an additional cover sheet with information related to revision 4. This was done at the request of the City to avoid cluttering the existing cover sheet with more information, making it more accessible reviewers.

Response: Flow test was less than a year old when originally submitted, and it was confirmed with the reviewer on 8/12/2025 that it would still be accepted at this time. Velocity is approximately 2.3 ft/second. Please see Site Plan 2 of 6, sheet 132. FR4 - CURRENT STATUS: Pending • UPDATE U1: Site Plans, note 3 per your response to comments does not address the re- paining of fire lanes, it is note 5, however the site plans are incorrectly referencing note 4, please revise/fix the references. Additionally, U0 comment could not be verified, see comment FR13 for more information. • UPDATE U0: Site Plans – Clearly show the location of “all” Exiting and Proposed Fire Lanes on the site - Fire Department access roads shall be provided within 150ft of all exterior points of a non-sprinkled building and 200ft of a sprinkled building. AFD requires a minimum access width of 5ft clear on a stable and reasonably level walking surface to accommodate responding firefighters, carrying equipment, hose bundles, ladders, wearing Scott air packs etc… so they have enough room to perform firefighting or rescue operations. NOTE: Warehouses over 12,000 sq. ft., the 2021 IFC 3206.6 limits the distance to 150 ft for high-piled storage over 12,000 sq. ft. The access cannot be from an adjacent property unless there is either a Unified Development Agreement (UDA) or a Joint Use Access Easement (JUAE) between the two properties that legally binds this access together between the properties in perpetuity. Provide copies of the “recorded” UDA or JUAE for review by AFD and clearly identify there is UDA on the plans including its County document record number or callout the JUAE on the plans and clearly show the JUAE boundaries of the on the plans and callout the associated County document record number on the plans. The 150/200ft distance is measured as approved hose lay distance at the ground level and must be measured around any obstructions. The distance cannot be measured under or through the building or through detention/water quality ponds, rain gardens, drainage ways etc… Sprinkled and rated breezeways are generally an exception to this rule. Fences and walls less than 4 ft in height are usually not considered obstructions. Typical fences will create an obstruction problem. A gate can be installed in a fence to mitigate an access problem, as long as the fire dept can open the gate, provide knox key boxes at gates as needed.

Our proposed design meets all requirements stated in FR4. Existing and proposed fire lanes clearly called out. FR6 – CURRENT STATUS: Pending • UPDATE U1: Site Plans - Gates across Fire Department Access Roads – Using callouts or keynotes, clearly identify all gates across fire lanes as either motorized gates or manual gates on all site plans, dimension control plans and fire protection plans. Provide the following notes on every plan that shows calls out the gates across fire lanes and callout the location of the required Knox Key Switch or Knox Key Box per the notes below. “Provide a Knox Key Switch at all power operated gates and a Knox Key Box at all manual gates across fire access roads for fire department access, this shall be located on the ingress side of the gate.” “All gates across fire access roads shall open the full width of the fire access road so the fire access road is not obstructed in anyway by the gate or any of the gate components.” “All power operated gates across fire access roads shall be equipped with gate operators listed in accordance with UL 325. Gates intended for automatic operation shall be designed, constructed, and installed per ASTM F2200. A manual means of opening the gate in the event of power loss is required.” Reference: 2021 IFC Section 503.6 • • UPDATE U0: Site Plans – clarify – are there gates across any of the fire lanes? If Yes clearly identify these locations using callouts and identify in the callout if the gate is manual or motorized. Response: The two gates on the property are motorized.

Note: the fueling area and new above ground storage tanks are required to meet the hydrant access requirements as well as fire access distances from fire lane requirements, as these are “new” structures/items on the site. • UPDATE U0: Provide a plan that is to scale that shows the location of the (2) closest hydrants to the site so the following requirement can be verified, be sure to identify private hydrants as “PRIVATE HYDRANT” on the plans. Fire hydrant locations. For non-sprinkled buildings AFD requires a minimum of 1 hydrant within 400ft of all portions of exterior walls and for sprinkled buildings AFD requires a minimum of 1 hydrant within 500ft of all portions of exterior walls. For either case, non-sprinkled or sprinkled buildings, all secondary hydrants necessary to meet the minimum fire flow for the building are required to be within 04 SP-88-0052CX(R4) - LISD ES No. 19 Grandview Hills Ancillary Building Project; District 1018 of 29 Project Name: LISD ES No. 19 Grandview Hills Ancillary Building Project Address: 12024 VISTA PARKE DR File Number: SP-88-0052CX(R4) 500ft of all portions of exterior walls. Provide a plan at a standard scale the shows the location of the hydrants necessary to meet this requirement and the required fire flow, based on not pulling more than 1250gpm out of a single hydrant per City of Austin Fire Protection Criteria Manual Fire Protection Rules. NOTE: The distances are measured as approved hose lay distance at the ground level and shall be measured around any obstructions. Fences and walls less than 4ft in height are usually not considered obstructions. The distance shall not be measured under or through the building. With respect to hydrants, roadways, driveways and buildings AFD Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is to lay water supply hose lines to reduce the risk of damage to the water supply hose lines during firefighting operations, so hose lines will not obstruct traffic unnecessarily on major or the primary roadways in the area, or prevent access to the site by other fire or emergency apparatus or prevent access to the building during firefighting operations. Therefore, AFD does not lay water supply hose lines across major or primary roadways in the area and hydrants on the other side of a major or primary roadway in the area from a site cannot be used to meet this requirement. Reference: 2021 IFC 507.5.1 as amended by the City of Austin. Response: There is an existing fire hydrant across from fueling station which is within 400’. Please see Site Plan 4 of 6, sheet 134. FR10 - CURRENT STATUS: FYI • UPDATE U0: For required fire flow AFD does not pull more than 1250gpm out of a single hydrant per the City of Austin Fire Protection Criteria Manual Fire Protection Rules (see clip below), this maximum flow is used to determine the minimum number of hydrants required to meet hydrant access for a site. For example, for a fire flow of 3000 gpm, number of required hydrants = 3000gpm/1250gpm = 2.4, round up = 3 hydrants.

Was there an amendment to the PDA? I will keep looking because I’m sure it was approved for the previous three revisions… U1: comment cleared. Per 25-2-602 Uses permitted in a research and development (R&D) district are established by the zoning ordinance establishing the district. Not seeing any use limitations in the ordinance or ‘zoning site plan’ in the zoning files, we can proceed as is. Please add related cases to the coversheet: C14R-87-159(HC), C14-00-2055 Response: Related cases included on original cover sheet It appears that REVISION 1-2 & 3 are revised sheets of the old plan set and REVISION 4 is SP2 where the added sheets start. Are any sheets in the older plans being revised or replaced? The revision table on sheet 94 says 1-94 are revised but there are no redlines on those sheets. For clarity, please void any unused sheets and any revised sheets should have redlines. You don’t have to keep all of the old plan sheets in this R4 plan set—just the sheets relevant to the new project. Let me know if you have questions. U1: comment partially cleared—please keep the old coversheet at a minimum. Otherwise it’s a new site plan. You can include it as the 2nd sheet in the set as reference only. So it would be R: 1, A: 94-175. Response: Old coversheet has been included in the plan set. SP5 Correct zoning and case number in site plan release block. Block should be on coversheet only. U1: comment partially cleared—please correct landscape sheets.

SP9 This note on the new coversheet doesn’t seem to match the new site plan sheet which says total IC is 10.67 acres: Response: Impervious cover data reconciled and matches cover sheet (both are 11.997 ac) SP11 please correct typo in sheet 146 title. Please note sheets 146-167 aren’t needed in site plan review so those won’t be stamped, in case changes are made in building plan review. Response: Title typo has been addressed on sheet 146. Sheets 146-174 have been included to resolve fire review comments SP12 hill country roadway—per 25-5-142 this needs to go to land use commission. Once all design- related comments are cleared we can schedule for commission. Also, what is the LOC within the P zoning? If its over an acre it will need to go to land use commission. Response: LOC within P zoning is over 1 acre, plan to attend 10/7/25 council meeting to confirm land use commission approval Sincerely, Tim Winston Project Manager 04 SP-88-0052CX(R4) - LISD ES No. 19 Grandview Hills Ancillary Building Project; District 1026 of 29 04 SP-88-0052CX(R4) - LISD ES No. 19 Grandview Hills Ancillary Building Project; District 1027 of 2904 SP-88-0052CX(R4) - LISD ES No. 19 Grandview Hills Ancillary Building Project; District 1028 of 2904 SP-88-0052CX(R4) - LISD ES No. 19 Grandview Hills Ancillary Building Project; District 1029 of 29
