ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2025-0056 (12940 North U.S. 183) DISTRICT: 6 ADDRESS: 12940 N. U.S. Highway 183 ZONING FROM: GR, LO TO: CS-V SITE AREA: 5.0034 acres PROPERTY OWNER: SHA LLC DBA FIRST CARE APPLICANT/AGENT: Drenner Group PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends GR-V-CO, Community Commercial-Vertical Mixed Use Building- Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit the following uses within 200 feet of residential zoning or development: 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, Service Station ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 19, 2025: Postponed to October 7, 2025 at the applicant's request by consent (8-2, R. Puzychi and S. Boone-absent); B. Greenberg-1st, A. Flores-2nd. October 7, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-2025-0056 - 12940 North U.S. 183; District 61 of 14 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 5 acre lot that is currently developed with a vacant 3-story office building, with surface parking, that has access to Fathom Circle and the N. US Highway 183 Southbound frontage road. The lots to the north, across Fathom Circle, are developed with a multifamily complex (Summit at Westwood Apartments) and an office use (State Farm) and are zoned MF-2 and GR. To the south, there is a multifamily use (Spicewood Springs Apartments) zoned DR, a public library with surface parking zoned LR- CO and P, undeveloped property zoned GR, a retail center zoned GR-CO and a restaurant and service station/automotive washing use zoned GR. The lots to the west along Fathom Circle contain single family residences zoned SF-3.

The staff is recommending GR-V-CO, Community Commercial-Vertical Mixed Use Building-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The property meets the intent of the GR base district as it is located at the southwest intersection of a Fathom Circle (Level 1/ Residential Street) and N. US Highway Service Road Southbound (Level 4/ Arterial Roadway). The GR-V-CO zoning is consistent with surrounding commercial and multifamily zoning and use patterns.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-93-0047(RCA) - 1116 & 1120 W. Howard Lane RCA DISTRICT: 7 ADDRESS: 1116 West Howard Lane and 1120 & 1120 1/2 West Howard Lane OWNER/APPLICANT: Howard Route Center, Ltd., Barr Properties Ventures, LLC, C&T Shops on Howard Lane, Ltd. AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) ZONING: CS-CO, GR-CO AREA: 13.927 acres REQUEST: The applicant is proposing to amend a previously approved public restrictive covenant to remove Lot 6A and to update the legal description of the remaining lots, 3-A-B, 4-A and 5- A, subject to the original RC, to include all of current Lot 3-A-B. This will allow Lot 3-A-B to remain in compliance with impervious cover requirements as Lots 3-A-B, 4-A, and 5-A will be construed as a “single site” going forward. CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed amendment to the public restrictive covenant. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 17, 2025: Granted staff’s request for an indefinite postponement by consent (9-0, L. Osta-Lugo-absent); B. Greenberg-1st, R. Puzycki-2nd. October 7, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 03 C14-93-0047(RCA) - 1116 & 1120 W. Howard Lane RCA; District 71 of 13 DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: In this case, the applicant is requesting to amend a public restrictive covenant that was recorded in 1994 in association with zoning case C14-93-0047. The applicant is asking to remove Lot 6A from the restrictive covenant. The remaining lots, Lots 3-A-B, 4-A and 5-A, are still subject to the existing covenant with updated/corrected legal descriptions of those remaining lots as they have since been replatted. The representatives for this case have revised their application from the original restrictive covenant termination request to a restrictive covenant amendment request. The proposed RCA is intended to resolve impervious cover comments from the Environmental staff. It was determined during review of this application that Lot 3-A-B as currently developed has more than 80% impervious cover and if the original restrictive covenant is terminated it will be out of compliance with city code. Therefore, Lot 3AB will now remain subject to the restrictive covenant and be construed as a single site along with Lots 4A and 5A, while separating Lot 6A, as it has a different owner. Since the filing date of that original Restrictive Covenant, the property has been replatted twice and amended such that it is now platted as four lots, Lots 3- A-B, 4-A, 5-A, …
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 …
January 12, 2025 Mr. Ryan Soutter Development Services Dept. 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive Austin, TX 78752 Re: The Clovis at McKinney Falls (SP-2024-0202D) 6507 McKinney Falls Parkway Variance from LDC 25-8-342(8)(c) Good Day Mr. Soutter, On behalf of the owner, LDG Development, LLC, we are requesting a variance for fill more than eight (8) feet for the Dee Gabriel Collins Road driveway in order to provide a required access to the proposed development The Clovis at McKinney Falls, a multi-family affordable housing project (SP-2024-0202D), located at 6507 McKinney Falls Parkway, south of the intersection of McKinney Falls Parkway and Dee Gabriel Collins Road. The project consists of 264 units spread over 10 buildings, along with the clubhouse and pool. The site is located within the City of Austin 2-Mile Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and was most recently used for two single-family homes. The site is within the Cotton Mouth Creek watershed, a suburban watershed, and is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. There are no CWQZ, WQTZ, nor CEFs located on the site. The Fire Marshal requires two means of access to the site from different streets, in this case, McKinney Falls Parkway and Dee Gabriel Collins Road. This is so that if one driveway were to be obstructed, the second driveway could be used to service the site. Most of the site is within the 0-15% slope category, but the steeper portions of the site are along the adjacent roadways, meaning that any site driveway must cross steep slopes to gain access to the site. The complication for the Dee Gabriel Collins driveway is that the maximum slope of a fire access roadway is 10%, and when crossing the steeper slopes, a fill condition is required to support the drive. In other words, due to the limit on the driveway slope, the grades driveway cannot keep up with the falling slope of the site and must have fill placed beneath it. Unfortunately, simply due to the existing topography, the fill amount for a small portion of the driveway exceeds the 8-foot limit prescribed by code LDC 25-8-342(8)(c). The maximum proposed amount of fill in this area is about 14.5 feet, and the fill is contained by retaining walls to limit the impact to the site and nearby trees. No other alternative location for the driveway is possible due to the Travis County driveway spacing and sight distance requirements …

SITE PLAN REVIEW SHEET ENVIRONMENTAL VARIANCE REQUEST ONLY CASE NO: SP-2024-0202D COMMISSION DATE: October 7, 2025 NAME: The Clovis at Mckinney Falls ADDRESS: 6507 McKinney Falls Parkway APPLICANT: Jake Brown; LDG Development, LLC AGENT: J Segura; Dunaway ZONING: N/A - 2-mile ETJ NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN: N/A PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is proposing to build a multi-family development with associated improvements. AREA: 15.97 acres COUNTY: Travis LOTS: 1 DISTRICT: N/A - 2-mile ETJ WATERSHED: Cottonmouth Creek, Suburban JURISDICTION: Austin 2-Mile ETJ VARIANCE: The applicant requests the following: 1. Request to vary from LDC 25-8-342 to allow fill from 8 to 15 feet. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff determines that the findings of fact have been met. Staff recommends approval of the requested variance with the staff conditions outlined on page #2 of the staff report, as well as the Environmental Commission’s recommended conditions—with the exception of Condition #4, which states: “Incorporate pedestrian, bike, and multi-modal design into the property driveways to allow for greater and safer accessibility to roadways.” The applicant's engineer has indicated that compliance with Environmental Commission variance condition #4 is problematic. Due to steep terrain and ADA slope limits, constructing accessible sidewalks would require extensive switchbacks, grading, and retaining walls—causing significant environmental disruption. The site is in the ETJ, so tree mitigation isn’t required, but impacting mature trees for a sidewalk with limited use is inconsistent with preservation goals.

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 16, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-2025-0084 - Howard Lane Rezoning; District 71 of 13 C14-2025-0084 ISSUES: 2 On January 29, 2024, a code violation was filed for this property for an Enterprise Violation - case number ECV 2024-010063, for an unpermitted commercial development of site (please see Exhibit C). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property under consideration is a 25,284 sq. ft. lot that contains a warehouse that fronts onto W. Howard Lane and backs up to Daisy Lane, thus allowing access from both streets. There are construction sales and services businesses to the north (ABC Heating and Air Services Supply Co Inc.) in the county and to the west (Demolition Excursion Alliance LLC, Bartlett Tree Experts) zoned CS and CS-1-CO respectively. The lots to the east contain another construction sales and services use (Best Insulation) that was recently rezoned to CS, a vehicle storage use (Eagle Towing) and an office/warehouse use (Jorgenson) zoned LI. There is a manufactured home to south fronting Daisy Drive with LI zoning. In this request, the applicant is asking to rezone the property from GR to CS to bring the existing use into conformance with land use regulations in the Code. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1.

CS zoning would allow for a fair and reasonable use of the site because the proposed zoning will bring the existing air conditioning repair business/Construction Sales and Services use into conformance with land use regulations in the Code. 3. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The CS zoning district would be consistent with the zoning in this area because there is commercial and industrial zoning surrounding this tract of land. There is …

Horizon evaluated the subject site in accordance with the Watershed Protection Ordinance: Functional Assessment (FA) developed by the City of Austin (COA) Watershed Protection Development. The proposed project consists of development that has the potential to modify the 100-year floodplain and Critical Water Quality Zone (CWQZ) adjacent to unnamed tributaries of Walnut Creek. The subject site is located near the intersection of Loyola Lane and Sendero Hills Parkway, Austin, Travis County, Texas (Figure 1). Based on the location of the proposed construction activities within the CWQZ, Zone 2 of the FA was performed. Per the FA guidance, three 100-square-meter sample plots were to be evaluated along eight Zone 2 transects (Figure 2). Horizon took several photographs and measurements using the required tools listed in the FA. The tools included a 100-meter measuring tape, a densiometer, and a soil compaction meter. The hydric nature of vegetation species was determined from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) National Wetland Plant List. Photographs from the FA are provided in Appendix A and scoring sheets for the eight transects are provided in Appendix B. 21265-001FA CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS 1507 S Interstate 35 Austin, TX 78741-2502 (512) 328-2430 www.horizon-esi.com An LJA Company 04 SP-2022-0567C - RBI Austin Youth Development Complex; District 14 of 11 Williamson Taylor, TX Lago Vista, TX §¨¦35 £¤183 Austin, TX Lee Manor, TX Elgin, TX Travis £¤290 Belterra, TX Hays §¨¦35 Subject Site £¤183 Elroy, TX Caldwell Bastrop Bastrop, TX " "" " " " " " " " " " """" Legend " " Transect Subject Site Date: Drawn: 09/15/2021 TED HJN NO: 21265.001FA Source: OSM, 2021 Figure 1 Vicinity Map RBI at Loyola Lane Loyola Lane and Sendero Hills Parkway Austin, Travis County, Texas …

Mopac Expy Suite 320 Austin, TX 78759 (512) 485-0831 CASE MANAGER: Meg Greenfield, (512) 978-4663, meg.greenfield@austintexas.gov EXISTING ZONING: (P) Public PROPOSED USE: The applicant is proposing a service center for the City of Austin Resource Recovery and Fleet Services. The site is currently undeveloped and owned by the City of Austin. This site plan includes associated utilities, drainage, grading, paving, and stormwater infrastructure needed to service the development. Currently, ARR maintains its entire fleet from the Todd Lane location in southeast Austin. ARR requires the use of additional facilities to better service their customers, improve operational efficiencies, reduce long-term operating costs, allow for staff expansion, and reduce the Department’s carbon footprint by providing a northern location to deploy trucks. In addition to directly supporting ARR vehicle needs, the NESC will provide much needed and improved space to support a wide range of fleet assets from lawn mowers to watercraft to Fire/Police/EMS vehicles and Public Works trucks. The NESC will be operational 24 hours a day in the event of an emergency that would require this functionality for an extended period. The development will include a fuel station for ARR, FMSD, and other city vehicles and provide electric vehicle charging. The new buildings will earn a minimum of 3-Star Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) rating and WELL silver standards for administrative office areas and include zero waste building concepts. Additionally, the sustainable building approach will help maintain a neighborly relationship with the surrounding community. 05 SPC-2024-0456C - FSD - NE Service Center; District 11 of 16 COMMISSION REQUEST: 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). § 25-2-625 - PUBLIC (P) DISTRICT REGULATIONS.

CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is located at 7400 Albert Road, just south of Matthews Lane. It consists of an approximately three-acre unplatted tract currently zoned development reserve (DR) district. The site contains one single-family residence located on the property. The surrounding area is primarily residential in character. To the north, south and east, there are single family residences on large tracts and lots that have frontage on Albert Road (SF-6-CO; SF-3; DR; SF-2).

August 19, 2025 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-2025-0032 - Acres West Lot 20 Rezone; District 61 of 36 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 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 …

There are single family residences surrounding the property to the north, south, east and west. The lots to the north, east and west are zoned SF-1. There is SF-2 zoning directly to the south along Lemens Spice Trail and to the west along Cedarcliffe Drive.

They propose to add an additional single-family residence on its own platted lot which will be approximately 0.20 acres (8,712 sq. ft.). The applicant can subdivide the property into two lots smaller than 10,000 sq. ft. if they choose to build lots under the HOME2 ordinance which limits lots between 1,800 sq. ft. and 5,749 sq. ft. The staff recommends Single-Family Residence-Standard Lot, district zoning. The property meets the intent of the SF-2 district as it is located on a Level 1/residential street within an existing single-family neighborhood that has moderate sized lots or to new development of single-family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. The site under consideration is surrounded by existing single-family residential uses within a platted residential subdivision.

The lots to the west along Fathom Circle contain single family residences zoned SF-3. In this case, the applicant is requesting CS-V zoning to redevelop this property with a multifamily residential project (please see Applicant's Request Letter - Exhibit C). The staff is recommending GR-V-CO, Community Commercial-Vertical Mixed Use Building-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The property meets the intent of the GR base district as it is located at the southwest intersection of a Fathom Circle (Level 1/ Residential Street) and N. US Highway Service Road Southbound (Level 4/ Arterial Roadway). The GR-V-CO zoning is consistent with surrounding commercial and multifamily zoning and use patterns.

The tracts of land to the north, across Melrose Trail, are developed with an apartment complex (MAA Quarry Oaks Apartments) zoned MF-3-CO and a small multifamily development (Melrose Trail Apartment Homes) zoned GR. To the east of Heinemann Drive, there are single-family residences zoned PUD. To the west, there are fourplex and duplex residential uses (Melrose Place Fourplexes and Duplexes) zoned MF-2. The land to the south contains a culvert/detention area zoned PUD. The applicant is requesting MF-5, Multifamily Residence-High Density District, zoning to redevelop this property with approximately 250 multifamily residential units (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff’s recommendation is to grant MF-3, Multi- Family Residence–Medium Density District, zoning. The property in question is located along Level 1/Residential and Level 2/Collector roadways. It does not meet the purpose statement or intensity of the MF-5 district as this site does not front onto a major roadway near transportation options such as Capital Metro bus routes, bus stops or urban trails. The staff’s recommendation of MF-3 zoning is consistent with surrounding zoning patterns. This property is in an area where medium density multifamily residential use is desirable. The lot under consideration is located within 0.22 miles from Parmer Lane Activity Corridor and there are commercial goods and services available along McNeil Drive to the north. The staff’s recommendation of the Multi-Family Residence–Medium Density District will establish permanent zoning at this location and will expand the number of units and available housing choices in this area.
