ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 20, 2025: Postponed to June 3, 2025 at the staff's request by consent (9-0); Lugo-1st, Greenberg-2nd.

July 1, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-94-0167.01 - 6500 River Place PDA Amendment #1; District 101 of 54 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The site under consideration is a 48-acre tract of land located near the southwest intersection of FM 2222 Road and River Place Boulevard. The property was zoned R&D-PDA in 1995 through Ordinance No. 950427-R and is developed with an office park (River Place Corporate Park) that contains seven buildings, with surface parking. There is undeveloped land zoned GR-CO directly to the north. To the south, there are office and single family residential uses that are zoned GO-CO and SF-5. The lots to the east are developed with an automotive repair use, a commercial retail center, a restaurant, financial services and medical office uses. To the west there is undeveloped land in the county. The applicant is requesting a rezoning of the property to amend the existing PDA overlay to permit Multifamily Residential and Outdoor Sports and Recreation uses on the property. The applicant plans to replace two of the existing office buildings on the site by constructing two new multifamily complexes, with publicly accessible outdoor recreation amenities (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C).

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2025-0032 (Acres West Lot 20 Rezone) DISTRICT: 6 ADDRESS: 13608 Caldwell Drive ZONING FROM: I-RR TO: SF-6 SITE AREA: 0.407 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Austintatious Enterprises, LLC (David Jeng) APPLICANT/AGENT: Central Texas Permit Partners (Tisha Ritta) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends SF-6, Townhouse and Condominium Residence District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 1, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 03 C14-2025-0032 - Acres West Lot 20 Rezone; District 61 of 29 C14-2025-0032 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a 0.407 acre undeveloped lot that fronts onto Caldwell Drive. There are professional office and medical office uses to the north and east zoned GO-CO. The lots to the south are developed with single-family residences zoned SF-2. To the west there is an undeveloped area, a detention pond and a residential condominium development with GO-CO zoning and an I-RR designation. In this case, the applicant is requesting to establish permanent SF-6 zoning to allow for a single-family and condominium development on this property (please see the Applicant’s Summary Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends the applicant’s request for Townhouse and Condominium Residence district zoning. The proposed zoning is consistent with the purpose statement as the property is located on a residential collector roadway. The proposed zoning will provide a transition from the office zoning/uses to the north and east to the single-family residences along Caldwell Lane to the south. SF-6 zoning will permit the development of additional residential uses in this area and it will establish a permanent zoning designation on this currently undeveloped lot. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Townhouse and Condominium Residence district is intended as an area for moderate density single family, duplex, two family, townhouse, and condominium use, without the spacing and locational requirements for townhouses and condominiums that apply in SF-5. This district is appropriate for areas in which unusually large lots predominate with access to other than minor residential streets, and in selected areas where a transition from single-family to multifamily use is appropriate. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed zoning will provide a transition from the GO-CO zoning/office uses to the north and east to the SF-2 zoning/single-family residences along Caldwell Lane to the south. It is …

Slaughter Request for Indefinite Postponement by Staff ************************************************************************ Staff requests an indefinite postponement of the above referenced rezoning case. This rezoning case was initially submitted on June 13, 2024, without a proper legal description and other required information. Since then, the applicant has formally amended this zoning application to expand the boundaries of the area to be rezoned. Therefore, components of this application were revised and resubmitted and placed back into staff review on May 5, 2025. Staff has identified that a corrected TIA Determination Worksheet, a required component of a rezoning application, has not yet been resubmitted. At this time, Staff requests an Indefinite postponement because necessary components to the rezoning application have not been received or assessed. Future postponement requests, however, will be made by the applicant. As information, per LDC 25-2-246 (A) (2) (Expiration of Application), a rezoning application will expire if it is not scheduled for a public hearing before the 181st day after the date on which the land use commission grants an indefinite postponement of a scheduled public hearing.

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION CONDITIONAL USE SITE PLAN REVIEW SHEET CASE NUMBER: SPC-2025-0091A PC COMMISSION DATE: June 17, 2025 PROJECT NAME: AW - Walnut Creek WWTP Expansion to 100 MGD - Overall SP A ADDRESS: 7113 FM 969, AUSTIN, TEXAS 78724 DISTRICT: District 1 NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN: NA WATERSHED: Walnut Creek (Suburban Watershed) AREA: 303.87 acres APPLICANT: Erik Kunkel, P.E. City of Austin, Capital Delivery Services 6800 Burleson Rd, Bldg 312, Ste 200 Austin, TX 78744 AGENT: Sharon Hamilton, P.E. Consultant City Permit Coordinator Capital Delivery Services CASE MANAGER: Meg Greenfield, (512) 978-4663, meg.greenfield@austintexas.gov EXISTING ZONING: P (Public) PROPOSED USE: The proposed use is a Major Utility Facility in Public zoning. The Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant is one of two major wastewater treatment plants that provide service to COA customers. The plant was built in different stages, and has been operational since 1977, with a major capacity expansion in 2002 to its current average daily flow capacity of 75 MGD. The current improvements generally consist of the rehabilitation of the existing 75 MGD treatment trains; implementing a 25 MGD plant expansion; and implementing a 100 MGD Wet Weather Treatment unit. With the construction of the current expansion project, the plant will have an overall capacity of 100 MGD. REQUEST: This site is zoned P (Public) and is greater than one acre in size; therefore, a Conditional Use Permit may be required, according to the Land Development Code (Section 25- 2-625). Please note this is a Land Use Element site plan and approval of this site plan does not authorize any construction. Five subsequent construction element site plans will be filed. The purpose of this site plan is to only attend Land Use Commission once instead of 07 SPC-2025-0091A - AW - Walnut Creek WWTP Expansion to 100 MGD - Overall SP A; District 11 of 17 having to attend for each site plan. This is a large project, and construction will span many years, which is why it has been broken up into multiple site plans. The construction element site plans are divided into packages A, B, C, D & E for ease of design, review, and construction. These packages are separated geographically and are identified with different colors in the plans. SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this site plan.
