ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2026-0046 (Howard Plaza) DISTRICT: 1 ADDRESS: 3127 East Howard Lane ZONING FROM: W/LO SITE AREA: 8.37 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Peter Pham TO: GR CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends GR-CO, Community Commercial-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit the following uses on the property: Automotive Repair Services, Automotive Sales, Automotive Washing (of any type), Bail Bond Services, Club or Lodge, Commercial Off-Street Parking, Drop Off Recycling Collection Facility, Exterminating Services, Funeral Services, Hotel/Motel, Off-Site Accessory Parking, Outdoor Entertainment, Outdoor Sports and Recreation, Pawn Shop Services and Service Station ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 4, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 03 C14-2026-0046 - Howard Plaza; District 11 of 16 C14-2026-0046 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is an undeveloped 8.37 acre tract that fronts onto East Howard Lane. This lot was annexed by the City of Austin on December 31, 2007 (Case C7a-07-024) and received W/LO zoning in 2017 through case C14-2016-0119 (please see Area Case Histories below). The property owner has a site plan – case SP-2023-0053C - that is approved to permit four 15,000 sq. ft. buildings and a 7,200 pavilion on the site. Therefore, the applicant is requesting GR zoning to allow for office (professional office), religious assembly, indoor entertainment (wedding venue) and an indoor sports and recreation use (pickleball courts) within these structures on the property. The staff is recommending GR-CO, Community Commercial-Combining District, zoning for this site. The proposed GR-CO zoning will allow for office, civic and commercial uses on a tract of land that fronts onto an arterial roadway, East Howard Lane. The zoning will provide a transition across Howard Lane, to the planned residential uses to the north in the Cantarra Residential Neighborhood and to the east to the Mixed Residential Area in the Pioneer Crossing PUD. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning is 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. 2. The proposed zoning should allow for a reasonable use of the property. The GR-CO zoning would allow for reasonable use of the site because it will permit the applicant to develop a mixture of office, civic and commercial uses on a site that fronts onto an arterial roadway, East Howard Lane, that will provide services to the adjacent residential neighborhoods to the north and east.

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 not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is in the Harris Branch 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.

They clarify several important aspects of the application. After reviewing the report, I want to clarify my current position as the owner of a residence directly adjoining the property. I oppose the proposed use of the site for an indoor wedding venue and religious assembly. Both uses could generate substantial concentrated traffic, amplified music and other noise, alcohol-related activity, ride-share traffic, parking demand, and weekend and late-evening activity immediately beside residential backyards. These are precisely the periods when residents reasonably expect to be able to relax and quietly enjoy their homes. These proposed uses expressly interfere with the ability of homeowners to do that. Moreover, this represents a significant departure from the City's original compatibility rationale for approving Howard Plaza in 2021, when staff specifically found that the proposed daycare use would serve as a lower-intensity buffer between the commercial development and the adjacent residential neighborhood. I will address this evolution of the project, and its implications for compatibility, in greater detail in a forthcoming planning memorandum I plan to submit by the end of the week. Professional-office use does not raise the same level of concern. Indoor pickleball may also be potentially compatible, depending on its exact location, operating hours, occupancy, sound attenuation, parking requirements and relationship to the adjoining homes. I appreciate that staff is recommending a conditional overlay prohibiting Outdoor Entertainment and Outdoor Sports and Recreation. However, those restrictions do not address the principal impacts of the expressly proposed indoor wedding venue and religious-assembly uses, including indoor amplified sound, event hours, concentrated arrivals and departures, parking-lot activity, ride- share circulation and weekend operations. I therefore oppose the rezoning in its present form. At minimum, I request that the wedding- venue and religious-assembly uses be prohibited through the conditional overlay or another binding and enforceable instrument. As stated above, I also intend to submit a more substantial written planning memorandum by the end of this week addressing the project history, the City’s earlier compatibility findings, the cumulative evolution of Howard Plaza and the specific impacts of the proposed uses. Please include this email and my forthcoming memorandum in the official record for Case C14-2026-0046. 03 C14-2026-0046 - Howard Plaza; District 113 of 16One point remains unclear: the November 2025 notice identifies SP-2025-0311C as Howard Plaza Lot 2 at 3131 E. Howard Lane, while the current Zoning Case Report describes SP-2025-0311C as a site plan under review “for this property” involving 69,696 square feet of Commercial Mixed Use. I will contact the site-plan case manager separately, but I would appreciate confirmation of whether the rezoning and site-plan cases concern different legal tracts, overlapping property, or separate phases of one integrated Howard Plaza development. Thank you again for your assistance. Best, Nicholas Graham 12604 Hallstatt Drive, Manor, TX 78653 On Tue, Jul 28, 2026 at 10:10 AM Sirwaitis, Sherri <Sherri.Sirwaitis@austintexas.gov> wrote: Hi Nicholas, The notices you are referencing refer to two separate cases. Case C14-2026-0046 concerns the request to rezone the property from the W/LO, Warehouse Limited Office district to the GR, Community Commercial district to develop a mixture of uses on the site. The zoning will address the permitted uses and site development standards that are required by the district in the Code. The staff is recommending a conditional overlay to prohibit the more intensive commercial uses in the GR district on this property because it is adjacent to residential uses. I have included the Zoning Case Report for your review. You will need to reach out to the case manager who is listed on the notice for case SP-2025- 0311C to ask them questions about the site layout, parking, traffic analyses, drainage plans, lighting plans, landscape-buffer requirements and the overall status of the site plan application. Please let me know if you have any other questions concerning the rezoning case.

Howard Lane, Case C14-2026-0046. My property directly abuts the Howard Plaza property. I also received a prior City notice in November 2025 concerning Howard Plaza Lot 2 at 3131 E. Howard Lane, Case SP-2025- 0311C, which described the proposed project as a mixed-use development. I am generally supportive of appropriate neighborhood-serving development, but I would like to understand how these two applications relate to one another before taking a position on the rezoning request. Could you please help clarify the following? 1. Are C14-2026-0046 and SP-2025-0311C part of the same overall Howard Plaza development? 2. Do the two cases involve separate tracts, overlapping tracts, or different phases of the same project? 3. What specific uses are currently proposed, including any warehouse, retail, restaurant, event venue, entertainment, or residential uses? 4. Does “mixed-use” in the site-plan application include apartments or other residential units? 5.
