ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2022-0040 – Pioneer Hill Plaza Z.A.P. DATE: July 5, 2022 DISTRICT: 1 ADDRESS: 10017-1/2 Dessau Road and 1501-1/2 Arborside Drive AREA: 3.448 acres OWNER: Continental Homes of Texas (John Sparrow) APPLICANT: Doan & Associates (Julie Doan) ZONING FROM: MF-3-CO TO: CS SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GR-MU-CO. The conditional overlay would prohibit automotive rental, automotive sales, automotive repair services, automotive washing (of any type), and service station. An existing Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) will be attached to the property via conditional overlay or public restrictive covenant. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: July 17, 2022: July 5, 2022: To grant postponement to July 17, 2022, as requested by applicant, on consent. CITY COUNCIL DATE: July 28, 2022: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1st 2nd 3rd ORDINANCE NUMBER: CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin e-mail: heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov PHONE: 512-974-2122 1 of 39B-8 C14-2022-0040 Page 2 ISSUES: The rezoning tract was included in a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for the overall Pioneer Hill area that was approved in 2002 and amended in 2003 and 2011. At that time, the City of Austin attached TIA requirements via conditional overlay (CO) instead of via public restrictive covenant (RC). Staff recommends that the property remain subject to the TIA; City of Austin Law Department will determine whether a CO or RC is appropriate to tie the TIA to the property. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Dessau Road and Arborside Drive. The undeveloped property is currently zoned MF-3-CO, with the CO attaching TIA requirements as described in the Issues section. An unconstructed road right-of-way (ROW) is along the south side of the property (Edgeworth Bend), and unnamed streets are located along the east property lines. Property to the south and southeast is zoned MF-4 and includes undeveloped land and multifamily land uses. East of the rezoning tract are undeveloped SF-6-CO tracts; further northeast of the property are SF-6-CO tracts that are developed with small lot single family residences. Across Arborside Drive to the north is undeveloped land zoned MF-3-CO. Across Dessau Road to the west is a single family neighborhood zoned SF-3-NP. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The subject property was rezoned from Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) to GR-CO and LI-CO in 2011. In addition to TIA requirements, the …

MEMORANDUM Date: To: CC: Reference: Transportation Impact Analysis Final Memo June 27, 2022 Santiago Araque, P.E., Kimley-Horn and Associates. Inc. Bryan Golden, Maria Cardenas, Austin Transportation Department Alta Blue Goose Zoning Case Number C14-2021-0194C Summary of the Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA): Austin Transportation Department (ATD) has reviewed the “Alta Blue Goose TIA” dated February 18, 2022, and the subsequent update received on April 14, 2022 prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. The proposed development is in Travis County, north of Blue Goose Road between Cameron Road and Harris Branch Parkway in the City of Austin Extra Territorial Jurisdiction, as shown in Figure 2. The site is currently on land being rezoned and annexed concurrently. The development is anticipated to contain 890 single-family dwelling units and a 300,000 square foot commercial shopping center. The project includes the future alignment of Braker Lane as per the ASMP and the future realignment of Blue Goose Road. It should be noted that the section of Blue Goose Road that is proposed to be realigned is in Travis County jurisdiction. The existing site is vacant and is expected to be built in one phase. It is estimated that the full buildout will be completed in the year 2024. A TIA was performed for this zoning case to better understand the existing and future traffic patterns in the surrounding area and to identify any potential impacts from the introduction of traffic associated with the proposed development. The site proposes access onto future Braker Lane, which is classified as a Level 3 collector street with 120 feet of required right- of-way. Braker Lane is anticipated to be a 4-lane roadway with approximately 26 feet of pavement width for vehicular travel lanes, 2 lanes in each direction, a buffered bike lane, and sidewalk on both sides. The roadway will be divided by a median of approximately 14 feet width from face of curb to face of curb. Bike lanes and 6-foot sidewalks will be adjacent to the road, divided by a 4-foot-wide buffer in both directions of travel. Figure 1: Future Braker Lane Page 1 of 6 As a transportation condition of approval for the above referenced zoning application, the applicant shall comply with the recommendations below: 1. Dedicate 120 feet of right-of-way per the ASMP for future Braker Lane at the time of final plat. 2. Design and construct Braker Lane extension and the realignment of Blue …

Zoning and Platting Commission Resolution (King version 2) Floodplain Commercial Redevelopment Exception Code Amendments Whereas the new National Oceanic Atmospheric Association “NOAA” ATLAS 14 rainfall information indicated increased rainfall levels within the City of Austin and the city adopted new regulations in an effort to protect the residents from flooding based on a better understanding of flood risk with this new rainfall information; and, Whereas the Austin City Council directed City staff, boards, and commissions to initiate public processes to consider proposed code amendments to City floodplain regulations based on Atlas 14 floodplain data; and Whereas The City of Austin contacted more than 2,700 people at 110 different meetings and following that outreach on November 14, 2019 the City of Austin adopted new regulations with four basic elements: • Floodplain definitions, • Residential redevelopment exception, • Colorado River exception, • Increased Freeboard, and Whereas A significant number of residential and commercial properties are in the floodplain and that number increased when the new Atlas 14 regulations were adopted; and Whereas the key goals of the code amendments are to increase public safety and decrease flood risks; and, Whereas the City Council and City of Austin are committed to equity in the development and implementation of land development policies and code amendments. Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission encourages the City Council to consider the following recommendations regarding the proposed floodplain commercial redevelopment exception code amendments: 1. Direct the City Manager to provide annual public updates on the following recommendations from the Flood Mitigation Task Force: a. City Council should conduct a periodic (e.g. every 5 years) financial and organizational audit of the Watershed Protection Department to evaluate staffing resource allocations, program effectiveness, and the successful implementation of master plan goals and objectives, b. The City should not grant variances for development or redevelopment that may lead to future flooding or annex property that may already be a flood concern, c. Work with city, state, and county authorities to continue to restrain development in 100- year floodplains, 2. Direct the City Manager to direct the Equity Office to review the proposed code amendments and provide recommendations for equitable implementation of the code amendments and equitable public safety protections for communities of color and low-income families, 3.

Improving Connectivity Resolution Zoning and Platting Commission Whereas; Priority Program 1 in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan calls for “investment in a compact and connected city through the coordination of capital investments, incentives, and regulations;” and Whereas; according to the 2020 Imagine Austin Compact and Connected Indicators, developed land area, annual unlinked transit passenger trips, vehicle miles traveled per capita, percentage of trips by biking and walking, and transportation system total annual delay are all “headed in the wrong direction;” and Whereas; fatalities, serious injuries, and total crashes in Austin have increased year over year in the Austin area since 2018; and Whereas; designing communities with options for bicycling and walking increases opportunities for physical activity, especially for children and families; and Whereas; car ownership in Texas costs almost $10,000 a year; and Whereas; dead-end streets and disconnected networks increase vehicle miles traveled and time spent in the car, which have been associated with obesity, decreased opportunities for active travel, stress, impacts on mental health, less time to spend with family and friends, and less time to engage in community activities. Whereas, connected street networks help reduce traffic on major thoroughfares, are cheaper to build and maintain; and Whereas a connected street grid makes walking, biking, and transit use more desirable options; and Whereas, the way streets are laid out now determines the pattern for future growth; and Whereas subdivisions with too few access streets results in dangerous situations in the event of flooding or wildfires; and Therefore, be it resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission recommend that the Austin City Council seek to revise and amend Land Development Code sections § 25-4-151 through § 25-4-157 to meet the intent of Imagine Austin Priority Program and seek to enhance connectivity and affordability in new subdivision design; and Be it further resolved that the proposed changes recommended by the Zoning and Platting Commission are: 1. § 25-4-151 – Require connections and alignment of all stub out streets of a new subdivision to existing or proposed streets. If street connection infeasible, provide connection through a multi- use trail; and 2. § 25-4-152 – Prohibit dead-end streets and/or cul-de-sacs unless the director determines that topography, natural features, or unusual conditions make connection to an existing or proposed street infeasible; and 3. § 25-4-152 – If allowed by the director, a dead-end street and/or cul-de-sac must be no longer than 300 feet and …

SITE AREA: 0.3085 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Helen Ingram and Edsam Ingram AGENT: Harrison Pearson & Assoc. Inc. (Samuel T. Pritchard) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends DMU-CO, Downtown Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will limit the height on the property to a maximum of 60 feet. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 12, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-81 of 15 C14-2022-0055 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The two lots under consideration are developed with single family residential homes. There are Personal Services (West End Salon and Crimson Hair Salon) to the north and west. The lots to the east are developed with office uses. To the south, there is an office use and a residence. The applicant is requesting DMU zoning to redevelop these lots with office uses. The property is located within the Northwest District in the Downtown Area Plan. The Downtown Area Plan calls for DMU 60 for these tracts (please see attached Exhibit D- Downtown Austin Plan Exhibits). The staff recommends DMU-CO, Downtown Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining district, zoning. The proposed zoning is compatible and consistent with surrounding land uses and zoning patterns in this area and with the recommendations of the Downtown Area Plan. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Downtown Mixed Use district is intended for areas on the periphery of CBD classifications in the central core area, permitting a variety of uses compatible with downtown Austin and allowing intermediate densities as a transition from the commercial core to surrounding districts. Site development regulations are intended to permit combinations of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed DMU zoning would be consistent with the DMU-CO zoning located to the north of this site. There are office and low intensity commercial uses to the north, south, east and west of the property under consideration. This property is located within the …

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 12, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 28, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 11B-9 C14-2022-0001 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the south side of Town Lake Circle in the East Riverside Corridor (ERC) planning area. The property is in the Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU) subdistrict and is developed with 120 multifamily units that are approximately 36 years old. All of the other properties on the same side of Town Lake Circle are also developed with multifamily land uses. While the subject property and the property immediately to the west are in the NMU subdistrict, the remainder of the properties on the street are in the Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) subdistrict. Across Town Lake Circle is property that was previously developed with apartments that were demolished in 2008-2010 that is also in the CMU subdistrict. To the east and southeast of the subject property (along Pleasant Valley Drive) are other CMU subdistrict properties that include multifamily land use, undeveloped property, and retail-limited (HEB grocery) land uses. To the west and southwest (along East Riverside Drive) are properties that are in the NMU and CMU subdistricts. These properties are developed with commercial shopping centers with uses including restaurant-limited, retail, pawn shop and other uses. Please see Exhibits A, B, and C- Zoning Map, Aerial Exhibit and ERC Subdistrict Map. The ERC Regulating Plan states that the NMU subdistrict that is currently designated for the subject property, “provides for mid-rise residential with neighborhood-oriented retail and smaller employers. It is intended to have opportunities for attached residential and smaller-scale commercial uses.” The Regulating Plan also states that the proposed CMU subdistrict, “is the highest density district designation within the East Riverside Corridor and will typically consist of mixed use buildings such as residential or office uses over retail or office ground …
