ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 18, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: October 27, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 73 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located east of IH 35 on the north side of VFW Drive. The GO-CO property is currently developed with club or lodge and outdoor recreation land uses. The existing conditional overlay limits the site to 2,000 vehicular trips per day (vpd). North of the subject property are two multifamily developments that are zoned MF-3-CO. East of the property is land zoned SF-6-CO, LO and MF-3 that include single family residential, religious assembly and undeveloped uses. Across VFW Road to the south is an undeveloped tract that is currently under review to be rezoned from GR-CO to MF-4. Across IH 35 to the west are commercial properties zoned LI, including headquarter offices of the Texas Council on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the requested GO-MU rezoning. The property has access to IH 35 via VFW Road and is in an area that includes multifamily, single family and undeveloped properties. The addition of multifamily units at this location will increase housing opportunities and be consistent with nearby residential properties. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. 2. Zoning should be consistent with approved and existing residential densities. 3. Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties.

Development Services Department Staff Recommendations Concerning Required Findings Project Name: Ordinance Standard: Watershed Protection Ordinance Variance Request: Manor ISD Elementary School #10 To allow for fill exceeding 4 feet up to 33 feet for building construction Include an explanation with each applicable finding of fact. A. Land Use Commission variance determinations from Chapter 25-8-41 of the City Code: 1. The requirement will deprive the applicant of a privilege available to owners of similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development subject to similar code requirements. Yes. The variance will not be providing a special privilege to the applicant. The property slopes steeply down from Wildhorse Ranch Trail ROW at the west to the southeastern corner of the site over a 52-foot fall. The proposed buildings are constrained in design flexibility due to the requirements of the Texas Education Agency, City of Austin, and ADA. The size of the school is determined by what TEA allows based on student per square foot requirements which is not a design choice. In order to facilitate this type of development, substantial fill is required, and the layout has to follow the TEA, COA and ADA guidelines which has constricted design flexibility. Similarly situated property do not have to meet the aforementioned requirements the way a public elementary school is required. 2. The variance: a) Is not necessitated by the scale, layout, construction method, or other design decision made by the applicant, unless the design decision provides greater overall environmental protection than is achievable without the variance; Yes. The school must be sized according to TEA standards to meet the student population needs. The site is also required to have onsite bus queuing as well as ADA accessible pick up and drop off areas. Any construction on this property would necessitate fill greater than 4 feet because of the nature of the property. 1 of 364 There are no other design decisions that could be altered to not necessitate this variance. b) Is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable use of the property; Yes. The site is being graded as efficiently as possible to provide the required access slopes to minimize the amount of variance required. The design also uses all compliant construction methods but due to site constraints and requirements, the variance is inevitable. c) Does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences. The variance does not …

The previous request was to maintain the existing zoning of Limited Industrial-Conditional Overlay (LI-CO) and General Commercial Services- Conditional Overlay (CS-CO), but to remove Part 2. 1 associated with zoning ordinance 20050623-Z009. We are amending the request to CS-CO for the both zoning tracts. To ensure that the future development is compatible with the adjacent residential uses, we have agreed to prohibit the following uses: ● Automotive repair services ● Construction sales and services ● Equipment repair services ● Equipment sales ● Funeral services ● Monument retail sales ● Outdoor sports and rec ● Vehicle storage ● Custom Manufacturing ● Agriculture sales and services ● Automotive rentals ● Automotive sales ● Automotive washing (of any type) ● Bail bond services ● Campground ● Club or lodge ● Commercial blood plasma center ● Drop-off recycling collection facility ● Exterminating services ● Hospital services (general) ● Hospital services (limited) ● Hotel-motel ● Kennels ● Laundry services ● Limited warehouse and distribution ● Maintenance and service facilities ● Outdoor entertainment ● Pawn shop services ● Pedicab storage and dispatch ● Safety services ● Service station ● Transportation terminal ● Drive-thru Facilities Additionally, we are proposing the following Conditional Overlays: 1. Limit the maximum height of any structure on Tract One to 50-feet. 2. Provide a 30’ landscape buffer along the eastern& Western boundary of the property. The rezoning request still includes the removal of Part 2.,1 of zoning ordinance 20050623-Z009. Part 2. #3, limiting the height to 35’ for Tract Two shall remain in place. 10814 Jollyville Road, Avallon IV, Suite 200 Austin, TX 78759 Contact: Amanda Brown. 737-471-0333 If you have any questions regarding this request or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience.

Zoning and Platting Commission Resolution Proposed Project Connect Ordinance – C20-2021-014 Whereas, the Austin City Council passed Resolution 20211029-003 directing the City Manager to initiate code amendments to facilitate design, construction, and operation of Project Connect; and Whereas, an important goal of Project Connect is to facilitate and expand affordable transit opportunities that help small businesses and low- and middle- income families become more resilient and avoid involuntary displacement; and Whereas, the proposed Project Connect Ordinance provides code amendments that are intended to streamline design and construction of Project Connect transportation infrastructure; Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission encourages the Austin City Council to consider the following recommendations regarding the Project Connect Ordinance. Project Connect should: o • Create and timely maintain a public consolidated dashboard that provides: Information on Project Connect anti-displacement funds, programs, and resources available to families and businesses at risk of involuntary displacement along or immediately adjacent to Project Connect Corridors. o Demographics on families and businesses at risk of involuntary displacement along or immediately adjacent to Project Connect transit corridors. o Financial data on Project Connect anti-displacement bond funding provided to families and businesses along or immediately adjacent to Project Connect transit corridors. o Quarterly reports on Project Connect’s compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. • Ensure that Project Connect code amendments do not override environmental and air quality regulations, noise and amplified sound regulations, neighborhood review and public hearing requirements, public notice and protest rights, and variance review and hearing requirements. • Clearly define “Fast-Track Permit” and the associated fast-track permit process. • Seek recommendations from the Equity Office on all proposed Project Connect code amendments. • Brief and seek recommendations annually from the Zoning and Platting Commission, Planning Commission, and Environmental Commission on project development. Implement multilingual public outreach based on languages spoken in the affected populations. • • Brief the Environmental Commission early in the Draft EIS NEPA public involvement period to seek Environmental Commission comments and recommendations related to sound mitigation and management and other environmental elements.

Item 7 C20-2021-014 - Project Connect Joe Reynolds Allandale/Burnet Corridor Zoning & Platting Chair and Commissioners, I support David King’s Resolution concerning this item. It addresses necessary openness missing in the City’s draft. Please vote to approve it. There are issues not addressed in Commissioner King’s resolution that must be considered to prevent great upset as Project Connect construction interacts and conflicts with work and jurisdiction of other agencies. As an example, Project Connect will need to build bridges across I-35 during the time that TXDOT and US Dept. of Transportation are rebuilding, and there is no provision for coordination between the projects, or for acquiring ROW from the other agencies. Similar deficiencies exist in construction at the airport, with the addition of Toll Road companies and FAA. The routing there is very unsure. Tunneling will have disturbance issues beyond Noise. And, the draft ordinance minimizes the concern and outcry that will occur if Project Connect construction causes bankruptcy of the small business that line the transit corridors. Remember what the 7th Street reconstruction caused, in a time before social media and Internet megaphones. This commission has a leadership role, not just an approval role. Thank You. Joe Reynolds To: Zoning and Platting Commissioners From: Nathalie Frensley, D7 Re: Item 7 (C20-2021-014) Please support the King Resolution regarding Project Connect Transparency and Accountability Dear Commissioners – I respectfully ask that you vote against Item 7 – C20-2021-014 – in its present form. Please support Commissioner King’s Resolution regarding transparency and public accountability in Project Connect’s proposed Foundational ordinance. At present, Project Connect’s Foundational Ordinance singly discusses Project Connect’s asserted need for streamlining administrative authority for transportation project construction. The problem is that this resolution does not explain how it will streamline without (1) reducing public access to information and opportunities for engagement; and (2) deconflicting Project Connect projects with other transportation projects that are initiated by other City of Austin departments, Travis County, State of Texas, and the Federal government. Passing Commissioner King’s resolution will be an important first step by ZAP to remedy Project Connect’s omission of public access to information and opportunities for meaningful engagement. Moreover, doing so will align with Austinites’ strong sentiments about good governance. This Project Connect Ordinance Foundational ordinance has been proposed less that four months since the June Notley/Austin Monitor public survey results revealed that 57% of Austinites think the City has headed …

Staff recommends this variance, having determined the findings of fact to have been met. Preserve trees/natural areas. Apply City of Austin Landscaping Ordinance on ETJ site. Provide structural containment of fill with a retaining wall. 1 of 74B-8 Development Services Department Staff Recommendations Concerning Required Findings Project Name: Ordinance Standard: Watershed Protection Ordinance Variance Request: BKO Parmer To allow for fill exceeding 4 feet up to 12 feet for building construction Include an explanation with each applicable finding of fact. A. Land Use Commission variance determinations from Chapter 25-8-41 of the City Code: 1. The requirement will deprive the applicant of a privilege available to owners of similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development subject to similar code requirements. Yes. The variance will not be providing a special privilege to the applicant. The proposed buildings are similar in size to similarly situated property. In order to facilitate this type of development levelling and additional fill is required for the buildings. Prior projects in this area had a similar situation. A prime example is Crossroad Logistics Center Additions, SP-2021-0169D. A Land Use Commission variance was granted to LDC 25-8-342 to allow fill up to 17 feet. 2. The variance: a) Is not necessitated by the scale, layout, construction method, or other design decision made by the applicant, unless the design decision provides greater overall environmental protection than is achievable without the variance; Yes. Existing site conditions necessitate additional “fill” for fulfilling the requirements of two fire lane/emergency access routes as well as structural bridge for spanning the CWQZ. b) Is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable use of the property; Yes. The site is being graded as efficiently as possible to provide the required access slopes and bridge heights to minimize the amount of variance required. 2 of 74B-8 c) Does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences.

I have not received an email confirming, but I got a pop-up which said I was confirmed and had signed up. Just in case I some how fall through the cracks on this meeting, I want it to be registered I am OPPOSED to this zoning change. Trey Neinast is our primary speaker for this case. I support Trey in his efforts to get the right thing done by our neighborhood (and he is within 200 feet of the proposed zoning). I am also OPPOSED to any type of a variance through the CWQZ – the critical water quality zone running through our neighborhood park and beyond Rosemary Denny Park. I believe there has already been sufficient damage done to this zone through all the commercial activity and abuses. Additionally, I would like to see West Riviera Drive at South Lakeline Boulevard completely cut off from all the mall traffic and South Lakeline cut throughs. Our neighborhood is a precious little gem in the middle of edge city. We were here first and should be allowed some respect for keeping a tax base in place for so many years. We have several entrances and exits in the front of the neighborhood which can accommodate everyone in this neighborhood and a few others. Please consider this as an option for protecting our neighborhood. Please feel free to share this email with the City Zoning and Platting Commission. Please also feel free to contact me should you have additional questions or need more information. With kindest regards, I am, Twyla Grace Twyla Grace 2115 West Riviera Drive Cedar Park, Texas 78613 512.962.0674
From: To: Subject: Date: Rhoades, Wendy Postponement Request= Please forward Tuesday, October 4, 2022 11:11:59 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** This letter is written by John Stokes and Margaret Valenti, D2 constituents who live on Peaceful Hill Lane - just west of South Congress Avenue. We are also representatives of the Peaceful Hill Preservation Association. We are writing to you today on the matter of 2 active zoning cases on Peaceful Hill Lane. The two cases are as follows: 7901 Peaceful Hill Lane - Peaceful Hill Residential · · · · · C14-2022-0039 2.7 acres Existing Zoning: DR, development reserve Proposed Zoning: SF-6 (Townhomes, Condos) Status: ZAP hearing set for 10/4 220 Ralph Ablanedo - Crux Climbing Gym · · · conditional overlay · overlay, to remove the vehicle trip per day limit · Status: ZAP hearing set for 10/4 C14-2022-0077 3.99 acres - Corner of Peaceful Hill Lane and Ralph Ablanedo Existing Zoning: LI-CO, limited industrial services - conditional overlay; CS-CO, general commercial services - Proposed Zoning: LI-CO, limited industrial services - conditional overlay; general commercial services - conditional We are eager to share our thoughts and opinions at ZAP. However, both items are on the agenda for October 4th. We are requesting a postponement of both of these cases for the following reasons: In the first case: We have been in conversation with representatives for up to a year on this case but we have unfortunately not been able to come to mutual agreement on several outstanding issues. This process has been complicated by the applicants very slow responses to our correspondence and requests for information about the project. Both sides are negotiating , although over a protracted period of time. The timing of Applicant responses has made it difficult to distribute information and assess reactions to the neighborhood to various proposals by the Applicant in a timely fashion. In spite of slow applicant responses, there is reason to believe an agreement can be reached if the matter were postponed while further negotiations take place between the neighborhood and the Applicant. We respectfully request a postponement of sufficient length to give the Peaceful Hill neighborhood and the Applicant an opportunity to resolve outstanding differences prior to a ZAP hearing. In the second case, we have received only one reply to our concerns from the Applicant, and only very recently. We have had no reasonable opportunity …
