1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-90-0003.21 -- Harris Branch PUD Amendment 21 ZONING FROM: PUD TO: PUD, to change a condition of zoning ADDRESS: US Highway 290 and Harris Branch Parkway SITE AREA: +/-2,100 Acres PROPERTY OWNER/APPLICANT: Austin HB Residential Properties, Ltd. AGENT: Coats Rose PC (John M. Joseph) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request to modify the PUD to allow building height to be measured in feet (40’ maximum) instead of feet and stories (40’ and 3 stories maximum). The amendment only applies to parcels in the PUD that are designated as LO, LR, MF-2 and MF-3. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: December 7, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: January 27, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 27B-2 C14-90-0003.21 2 ISSUES: Under the current PUD zoning, building height is measured in feet and stories—40’ and 3 stories. The request would allow buildings to be measured in feet only (remaining 40’) but eliminating the story requirement. The amendment only applies to parcels in the PUD that are designated as LO, LR, MF-2 and MF-3. The amendment is related to construction differences that have changed since the original zoning ordinance in 1990, as well as differences in how the International Building Code (IBC) definitions and City of Austin zoning definitions have been clarified in recent years. The amendment does not increase any PUD entitlements. The rezoning request was initially determined by Staff to be an administrative amendment which does not require Commission or Council review. After additional review, it was determined that the amendment would need to be approved by City Council because the amendment affects items that are located in the ordinance and not on the PUD land use plan. No other changes to the PUD are requested with this amendment. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: Harris Branch Planned Unit Development (PUD) was created in 1990 in northeast Austin. The PUD is generally located northwest of the intersection of US Highway 290 and State Highway 130. Harris Branch includes over 2,000 acres and includes parcels with a wide range of zoning designations. Zoning designations range from SF-2 to LI and include most other residential, office, and commercial designations, as well as P zoned tracts for parkland and infrastructure. More than half of the original 2,000 acres has …

SITE AREA: 1.772 acres PROPERTY OWNER: PC Land, LLC (Brandon Krause) AGENT: Husch Blackwell LLP (Nikelle Meade) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff’s recommendation is to grant GR-MU-CO, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning with the following conditions proposed by the applicant: 1) provide a 50-foot vegetative buffer along the eastern property line, 2) comply with Compatibility Standards (LDC Section 25-2, Article 10) for the residential properties to the east, 3) to prohibit the following uses: Automotive Repair Services, Automotive Rentals, Automotive Sales, Automotive Washing (of any type), Drop-Off Recycling Collection Facility, Exterminating Services, Outdoor Sports and Recreation, Pawn Shop Services, and Service Station, 5) to make Restaurant (General) and Restaurant (Limited) conditional. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: December 7, 2021: Meeting canceled due to lack of quorum. January 4, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 31B-3 C14-2021-0142 ISSUES: 2 This property was owned by Velda B. Wyche in 2014 when the previous zoning case for the plant nursery uses was conducted. PC Land, LLC purchased this property in 2016 and moved to this location from West Anderson Lane. It appears that the ownership and the use have changed and the property is no longer in conformance. According to the Austin Code Department, the applicant was originally cited on April 9, 2019 because a two-story building was being constructed on the property without a permit (Please see Notices of Code Violations – Exhibit E). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently utilized as a landscaping company (Construction Sales and Services use). This site was developed with a plant nursery use (Hill Country Garden Center) that was in existence when this tract of land was annexed by the City of Austin in 1998 (Ordinance No.19981210-L). The applicant is requesting CS-MU-CO, General Commercial Services-Mixed Use-Combining District, zoning to bring the current use on the property into conformance with land use regulations in the City of …
1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2020-0145 -- Rogers ADU ZONING FROM: SF-2 TO: SF-3 ADDRESS: 5210 Rogers Lane SITE AREA: 0.338 Acres PROPERTY OWNER/APPLICANT: Capital River Group, LLC - Series 24 (Stuart Carr) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request to rezone the property to SF-3. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: January 4, 2022: December 7, 2021: Meeting cancelled due to lack of quorum. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 7B-4 C14-2021-0145 2 ISSUES: Under the current zoning, one single family residence can be constructed on the lot. If rezoned to SF-3, a maximum of two dwelling units would be permitted on the lot. The Applicant has stated their intent to retain the existing single family residence and add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for a 0.33 acre property located on the west side of Roger Lane approximately 240 feet north of the FM 969 right-of-way. The property is zoned SF-2 and developed with one house. Most surrounding properties are also zoned SF-2 and primarily developed with single family residences and related structures. The properties immediately south of the subject tract are zoned SF-3 and developed with single family residential uses. Further south, at the intersection of Rogers Lane and FM 969, is an art studio/indoor entertainment property zoned SF-2 (nonconforming land uses). West of the property is LR-MU and SF-6-CO zoned property that is currently undeveloped. Further to the east is Oak Meadows Elementary School, zoned SF-2. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The proposed rezoning is located on Rogers Lane, a Level 1 that primarily serves large-lot residential properties. The road right-of-way (ROW) is approximately 52 feet wide and the pavement is 18 feet wide. The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) does not identify any immediate or long terms plans for improvements to the roadway. The proposed rezoning does not generate enough vehicular trips to trigger the requirement for a Neighborhood Traffic Analysis (NTA). In addition to this rezoning request, two other rezoning requests are currently under Staff review that propose access to Rogers Lane. One of these cases, C14-2021-0141 (Agave Annex), is required to submit a NTA which will provide more information about the characteristics and capacity of …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2021-0155 (Lyndhurst Rezoning) DISTRICT: 6 ADDRESS: 13424 Lyndhurst Street, 13443 N FM 620 Road North Bound ZONING FROM: GR-CO, I-SF-2 TO: CS-MU SITE AREA: 1.73 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Naiser Holdings, LLC AGENT: Thrower Design LLC (A. Ron Thrower) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GR-MU-CO, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit the following uses on the property: Automotive Sales, Bail Bond Services, Commercial Off-Street Parking, Drop-Off Recycling Collection Facility, Exterminating Services, Off-Site Accessory Parking, Pawn Shop Services and Personal Improvement Services. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 16, 2021: Postponed to January 4, 2022 at the applicant's request by consent (9-0, C. Acosta-absent); H. Smith-1st, N. Barrera-Ramirez-2nd. January 4, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-5 C14-2021-0155 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The 1.73 acre property under consideration consists of two undeveloped lots that front onto Lyndhurst Street and North FM 620 Road. Across the street at the northeast corner of Lyndhurst Street and N. FM 620 Road, there is a former service station that is now being utilized for a lawn care company (Grassworks) and an elementary school (Forest Creek Elementary). To the south, there is a multifamily development (Lakeline Square Townhomes) and a religious assembly use (Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses). The property the west is zoned LO and is developed with an office (State Farm Insurance). In this case, the applicant is requesting CS-MU zoning to develop an undetermined use at this location. The staff is recommending GR-MU-CO, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District zoning. The property meets the intent of the zoning district and is consistent with surrounding land use patterns. GR-MU-CO zoning is appropriate for this site as the property is located on a local collector roadway at the entrance to a residential neighborhood across Lyndhurst Street from a school (Forest Creek Elementary School). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning is consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The Community commercial (GR) district is the designation for an office or other commercial use that serves neighborhood and community needs and that generally is accessible from major traffic ways. Mixed Use combining district is intended for combination with selected base districts, in order to permit any combination of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. Conditional Overlay combining district may …

The 1 of 36B-6 C14-2021-0161 Page 2 westernmost lot has frontage on Stage Coach Trail, a 200-foot long public street that provides vehicular access to the Persimmon Hollow Condominiums to the west. Two 1995- 1996 rezoning cases (which occurred prior to the right-of-way vacation) covered the west and east portions of the property and Council approved the limited office – conditional overlay (LO-CO) district for each case. The Conditional Overlay limits the number of vehicle trips to 2,000 per day on each case, and prohibits vehicular access to Stage Coach Trail on the western case. City maps show a creek buffer area running in a northerly to southerly direction through the western portion of the site and continuing to the 147 acre Stephenson Preserve to the south.
