From: Michael Harbers Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2020 12:42 PM To: Rivera, Andrew <Andrew.Rivera@austintexas.gov> Subject: Dell's Children Medical Center North *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Zoning and Platting Commission I am AGAINIST this proposed development. Concerns Traffic on Lakeline. Apartments and Hospital and Medical Buildings. The new routing of traffic is dangerous and surely is a temporary fix. Drive the intersection for your proof. I drive it daily and incur blocked lanes, mud, rock, debris on the roads. Along with merging lanes confusing drivers. The developers need to do a traffic study and then pay to have the roads and intersections constructed properly to handle the increase in traffic. What is the setback on building specifications from residential housing. We only have a 5 foot easement from our property. How far from that 5 ft easement will structures be set back or any improvement added? What is actually being built since it has changed from residential to commercial? Noise from air conditioning, back up alarms, burglar alarms, and any other mechanical systems it takes to operate all these different type of buildings? Like a Hostiptal, Medical Buildings, Apartment Complexes. Drainage issues with new roads, buildings, and all the concrete Thank You Michael Harbers 10408 Cannon Mark Way Austin, TX 78717

Criteria should be established for determining when to employ speed humps because of their expense, their difficulty for some bicyclists, they slow bikes down and the challenge they may pose for emergency vehicles. Recommended criteria include: 1. Conducting a safety and speed study 2. Lower the posted speed limit first 3. Installing a speed hump only on the block where the speed has been measured because speed can vary on different segments of the road 4. Bike-car accidents 5. NACTO also recommends where “the neighborhood feels traffic speeds are too high and are supportive of speed management treatments.” Neighborhood bikeway intersections with arterials should be safe. Section 5.2 and Figure 5.4 of the draft TCM depicts intersections; they should include a requirement that the grade of the streets at the intersection should adhere to best practices, which is no more than 5%. (i.e. Seattle Right-Of-Way Improvements Manual) Sidewalks Incorporate current Subchapter E Section 2.2 sidewalk requirements for each type of roadway.

BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: The building is constructed in the Contemporary style (McAlester, 2017). Its use of natural materials, its low-slung form that blends into the hillside, its continuous expanses of glass, and its Japanese-inspired detailing—deep roof overhangs with exposed rafters, styled wood railings and gable ornamentation, “panelized” walls and windows, and the building’s overall orientation around a semi-interior courtyard—exemplify the style.The split-level house has horizontal and vertical wood siding; fixed and sliding undivided full- height and ribbon windows; a cross-gabled roof with gable-end detailing, exposed rafter tails, deep eaves, and triangular brackets; and Japanese-inspired decorative wood details at railings, roofline, and fenestration. The site is terraced with masonry retaining walls that follow the contours of its topography, softening the transition between house and landscape. B-061 of 20 Historical Associations: The building at 4509 Balcones Drive was constructed in 1959 by architect David C. Graeber as his personal dwelling. Graeber, who moved to Austin to attend the UT School of Architecture after building homes with his father’s lumber business in San Antonio, joined Kuhne, Brooks, and Barr in 1957. He became a firm partner in 1961. When they began consulting for the University of Texas in 1962, Graeber led the design teams for all new university buildings for the next four years. He established Graeber, Simmons, and Cowan in 1978. Notable projects throughout Graeber’s career include the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library, the All Faiths Chapel of the Austin State Supported Living Center, the Johnson Space Center in …
Frequently Asked Questions This FAQ sheet is intended to provide a brief orientation to the Historic Design Standards. Please contact preservation@austintexas.gov if you have further questions or feedback about the standards. 1 Why were the Historic Design Standards I own a property in a locally designated historic developed? Don’t we already have standards for district. How will the Historic Design Standards 3 historic properties? affect me? The Historic Design Standards were developed to clarify existing standards for historic landmarks and National Register districts, and to make the historic district application process easier and more equitable for new districts. The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation form the foundation of preservation practice in the United States and are used in Austin to evaluate proposed changes to historic landmarks and in National Register district. However, these very general standards can be challenging to interpret when planning and evaluating specific projects. The Historic Design Standards build on them with more specific standards and illustrations of good practices. For new historic districts, community members compiling an application currently must hire a consultant or learn how to develop their own design standards, then go through multiple rounds of review with other property owners and City staff. This adds time and cost to the application process—and results in design standards that are nearly identical to those for other districts. The Historic Design Standards will provide a consistent, predictable set of standards for all areas considering historic district designation. 2 I own a historic landmark. How will the Historic Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will clarify existing standards for exterior changes to historic landmarks, as well as new construction on landmarked properties. The Historic Design Standards are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation that City staff and the Historic Landmark Commisison currently use to evaluate changes to historic landmarks, but they are clearer, more specific, and easier to use for planning and evaluating projects. The Historic Design Standards will not affect previously agreed-upon design standards for existing historic districts. They do align with existing district design standards and may be adopted by property owners within each district if desired. 4 I own a property in a National Register district. How will the Historic Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will clarify existing recommended guidelines for changes to …
Historic Design Standards City of Austin Adopted _________ Welcome In Austin, historic preservation encourages the preservation of historic buildings, structures, sites, and districts; promotes awareness of cultural and architectural heritage; and helps shape a more sustainable, equitable, and livable place. As the city grows, these Historic Design Standards will help property owners, designers, builders, and historic preservation professionals make consistent decisions about how to meet present-day needs while stewarding local built heritage and achieving larger goals. Clear standards and graphics show good practices, as well as changes to avoid. The Historic Design Standards were created by a working group representing property owners, designers, developers, advocates, and the Historic Landmark Commission. The working group sought to develop locally relevant standards grounded in national preservation principles. Many members are laypeople, and readability was a key concern: the standards needed to be understandable by property owners and neighbors considering whether to apply for historic district designation, as well as by architects. A Maintenance and Preservation chapter and illustrated glossary support those who want to learn more about architectural elements and materials. The Historic Design Standards promote long-term sustainability by supporting the retention and repair of existing buildings, which keep tons of old-growth wood and other material in use and out of the landfill. They also support sustainable solutions for making buildings more energy efficient now, from high-impact improvements like attic insulation and duct sealing to DIY changes such as weather-stripping around windows and doors. Historic Preservation Office staff are available to answer questions and provide feedback on proposed projects. Reach out to preservation@austintexas.gov or call (512) 974-3393. Left cover image: People looking out over Austin, ca. 1940s Acknowledgments Design Standards Working Group The Historic Landmark Commission created the Design Standards Working Group on September 24, 2018 to create a new set of historic design standards, with the goals of providing clear, user-friendly standards and guidelines for all historic property owners and of simplifying the historic district application process. This document is the product of the working group’s efforts and is modeled on the Preservation Austin design standards template produced through a community initiative in April 2011.

November 13, 2020 Terri Myers, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Re: Proposed Historic Design Standards Dear Ms. Myers, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today to respectfully support Austin's Historic Preservation Office's proposed Historic Design Standards. We commend the time-intensive and community-focused efforts of the working group and the Historic Preservation Office staff. We believe that the design standards will increase equity and accessibility in Austin’s local historic district application process. Preservation Austin has adopted Underrepresented Heritage as an FY21 Advocacy Priority. We see the citywide design standards as an encouragement to many groups who would not have the time or money to develop unique standards for their proposed district. We are optimistic the design standards will encourage new local district applications. At the same time, these design standards will streamline the Historic Landmark Commission process for city staff and advocates alike by providing clear and consistent standards. We believe this will create a more efficient and effective process for the benefit of all. We also believe the standards support the preservation of our city's diverse heritage, for the people of Austin, in a way that's compatible with increasing density. Preservation Austin knows how crucial density is for Austin's future and appreciate that the standards do not discourage density but rather recognizes that it can occur alongside preserving our historic neighborhoods. Preservation Austin encourages the Historic Landmark Commission to support the proposed Historic Design Standards. We know they will be an asset to our city for years to come. We again recognize the dedication that went into creating these standards and hope to see them adopted. Thank you for your service to the community, Clayton Bullock, President 1 of 1B-16

Design standards provide a clear, objective way to evaluate proposed changes. WHY HISTORIC DESIGN STANDARDS? 1. 2. Increase equity by reducing resources required for the historic district application. Increase predictability for property owners in potential districts. 3. Take a common-sense approach to design standards by recognizing underlying principles. WHY HISTORIC DESIGN STANDARDS? 4. Provide clearer standards for historic landmark owners and National Register district property owners. 5. Provide an educational tool for all historic property owners. 6. Provide consistent standards for project review by commissioners and staff. 7. Follow good practices in preservation. SECRETARY’S STANDARDS FOR REHABILITATION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal change to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships. The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property will be avoided. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements from other historic properties, will not be undertaken. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained and preserved. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property will be preserved. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be substantiated by documentary and physical evidence. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and …

November 30, 2020 Memorandum for Zoning and Platting Commission Chair Kiolbassa and Members (Jolene.Kiolbassa@austintexas.gov) Subject: Against Staff Basis of Recommendation—No Bus for Samsung Rezoning (B-08: C14-2020-0117, B-09: C14-2020-0118) 1. Background: FM 734/Parmer Lane is car-centric. June 8, 2020 Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization reallocated $633M to I-35 Capital Express Central, eliminating 3 Northeast MetroRapid Lines (Parmer, Dessau, Decker)—funding, in part, Oak Hill (southwest least minorities) with no discourse. $7.1B Prop A disregarded 425-acre East Village development; 5,500 apartment units within 2 miles of Samsung—Imagine Austin Dessau/Parmer Neighborhood Center (p. A-31). “The county's most expensive agreement is with Samsung; Travis County has rebated $65 million in property taxes to Samsung since 2009,” KUT reported July 31, 2019. In light of $65M tax rebate, request Samsung provide Uber/Lyft cards to expand jobs to transit minorities. 2. Opposition - No Transit (Route 392/Dessau: 3-mile Samsung walk): “Staff recommends LI-PDA, Limited Industrial-Planned Development Area Combining District, zoning with conditions” (p. 2). However, I disagree with “BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 2. . . . The staff recommends the applicant’s request for LI-PDA zoning as the property is located on an arterial roadway, East Parmer Lane, which is a designated Activity Corridor as shown on the Imagine Austin Growth Concept Map” (p. 2).

Imagine Austin (Adopted June 15, 2012; Amended 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018) definition: “Activity corridors . . . To improve mobility along an activity corridor, new and redevelopment should reduce per capita car use and increase walking, bicycling, and transit use. Intensity of land use should correspond to the availability of quality transit, public space, and walkable destinations. Site design should use building arrangement and open space to reduce walking distance to transit and destinations, achieve safety and comfort, and draw people outdoors” (p. 106).

Zoning and Platting Commission Q & A Report B-1 Question Commissioner Denkler / Response Staff: 1) Does the applicant have permission to use Akin High School's connection to the proposed Brezza Lane? RESPONSE: Once the connection to Brezza Lane is constructed and accepted by the City, it will be a public right-of-way and available to all. 2) Please provide a little more info on the road closure meetings. How many people participated, what kinds of comments were made, etc. RESPONSE: Watershed Protection Department (WPD) staff held a public meeting on June 18, 2019 where City Staff presented the road closure to the general public. The meeting was also provided as a webinar. WPD staff who attended the meeting relayed that there were about 20-30 people who physically attended the meeting and 46 who logged onto the webinar. Most of the questions were regarding the issues with the closure of the road. The overwhelming sentiment from the meeting was to not close the road at least until the Brezza Lane connection is made and the signal improvements are made at the intersection of Old San Antonio Road and FM 1626. B-2 – B-5 Question Commissioner King / Response Staff: 1. What is the height limit under CH zoning? RESPONSE: In CH zoning, increases in height is related to a reduction in impervious cover (LDC 25-2-582 – Commercial Highway (CH) District Regulations). For building up to 60 feet in height, the maximum impervious cover is 85%. For a building up to 80 feet, the maximum impervious cover is 80%. For a building up to 100 feet, the maximum impervious cover is 75%. For a building up to 110 feet, the maximum impervious cover is 70%. Finally, for a building up to 120 feet, the maximum impervious cover is 65%. Note: Watershed regulations for impervious cover may be more restrictive than those cited above and would take precedence. The Gemini Tract sites are located in a Suburban watershed which limits impervious cover to 65% for commercial uses. 2. What hospital uses are allowed under CH zoning but not allowed under the current CS-MU zoning? RESPONSE: The hospital (general) use (includes overnight stays) is a conditional use in both CS and CH zoning. The hospital (limited) use is permitted in both the CH and CS-MU zoning districts. 3. As I understand, this site is exempt from transportation impact analysis (TIA). RESPONSE: Correct. If this …

Howard) DISTRICT: 5 ZONING TO: MF-3 CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant multifamily residence – low density (MF-2) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 17, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: December 10, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Applicant is in agreement with the Staff recommendation. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property is 13.92 acres and located on Old San Antonio Road, a two-lane roadway just west of IH-35 approximately one mile south of Slaughter Lane. For context, the Southpark Meadows development is further north (CS-CO). The property slopes gradually towards Slaughter Creek which generally follows the west property line, contains several groupings of trees and one single family residence. The property has been zoned interim – rural residence (I-RR) district since annexation into the City limits in 1997. Please refer to Exhibits A and A-1 – Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The property is surrounded by an undeveloped tract and recently occupied Park and Recreation Department (PARD) offices to the north (GR-MU-CO; P; P-H); apartments and Akins High School football fields to the east (MF-2; MF-2-CO; I-RR); one single family 1 of 12B-1 C14-2020-0116 Page 2 residence and the Akins High School campus to the south (I-RR); and Slaughter Creek and apartments to the west (GR-MU-CO; MF-2-CO). The Applicant proposes to zone the property to the multi-family residence – medium density (MF-3) district so that it may be developed with approximately 197 apartment units. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Staff Recommendation: The multi-family residence low density (MF-2) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of 23 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near single family neighborhoods or in an area for which low density multifamily use is desired. The Applicant is in agreement to the Staff recommendation. 1. 2. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. 3. Zoning should be consistent with approved and …

Ron Thrower) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends LO-MU, Limited Office-Mixed Use Combining District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 17, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-21 of 12 ISSUES: On November 11, 2020, the applicant sent an e-mail to the staff stating that they wanted to amend their rezoning request to GR-MU-CO (see Exhibit C). The applicant is proposing a conditional overlay to prohibit the following uses: • Automotive Rentals • Automotive Repair Services • Automotive Sales • Automotive Washing (of any type) • Exterminating Services • Pawn Shop Services • Drive-thru fast-food CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 4+ acre tract of land that is currently zoned SF-2 and developed with a single family residence fronting onto Johnny Morris Road. To the north, there is the Walnut Creek Greenbelt that is zoned P and lots that are developed with single-family residences zoned SF-4A. The lots to the east, across Johnny Morris Road, are also developed with single-family residential uses zoned SF-2. To the south, there is a developing multifamily use with amenities that was recently zoned GR-MU-CO through case C14-2018- 0117 – please see Area Case Histories below (Loyola Loft Apartments). The tract of land to the west contains a single-family home and undeveloped area. The applicant stated in their rezoning application that they are requesting GR-MU zoning to develop an office use at this location. The staff recommends LO-MU zoning for the site under consideration. The property meets the intent of the purpose statement for the Limited Office-Mixed Use Combining District as the LO district is intended for office and civic uses that serve neighborhood or community needs. The proposed MU combining district will permit any combination of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. The proposed Limited Office-Mixed Use zoning will provide for a transition in the intensity of permitted uses/site development standards along Johnny Morris Road from the GR-MU- CO zoning at the arterial intersection of Loyola Lane and Johnny Morris Road to the SF-2 …

This property was subdivided in 2008 (C8J-2008-0107.0A - please see Related Cases below) and dedicated nearly 17 feet of land area for the future expansion of Morris Road. This dedication was to accommodate a planned 70-foot ROW for Morris Road and included 35 feet from the existing centerline. 2. At the time of Plat, a sidewalk was required along the entire frontage of Morris Road. This sidewalk has been built and is existing. 3. At the time of Plat, the owner of the property posted fiscal for future improvements to Morris Road. 4. The Plat that was approved by the City of Austin restricts land uses to non-residential only.

From: Marcia Spillers < > Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2020 9:33 PM To: Sirwaitis, Sherri <Sherri.Sirwaitis@austintexas.gov> Subject: Case Number C14‐2020‐0111 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Ms. Sirwaitis, I am writing to you to ask for a postponement of the hearing of Case Number C14-2020-0111 on November 17, 2020, by the Zoning and Platting Commission, until December 15, 2020, or later. With Covid 19 cases growing daily, our neighborhood has not had the opportunity to discuss with each other this rezoning and the impact it would have upon our single-family neighborhood. In the event of a possible lockdown, this would place any chance of discussion in the future, until Covid 19 has been contained. Furthermore, I would like to see the plans for the proposed rezoning for a daycare and apartment complex at the church, including the number of units, the parking layout, and a traffic impact study if there is one. Again, with the Covid 19 virus, this is most likely not doable until the virus has been contained. Last, with the runoff of candidates for City Council slated in December, I feel this issue should be heard after the first of the year, when the council members are in place and have the time to consider this fully. To do otherwise, would be imprudent to say the least. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request, and I look forward to hearing from you on this matter. Sincerely, Marcia Spillers 13210 Villa Park Drive Austin, Texas 78729 512-217-0989
