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 26B-9 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 based in part on construction differences and market demands that have changed since the original ordinance in 1990. 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 already been developed. Please see Exhibit A— Zoning Map. As stated in the Issues section, the PUD measures building height in feet and stories—40’ and 3 stories. The …

Seal) AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Michael J. Whellan) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant multifamily residence – moderate-high density (MF-4) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see page 2.

CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject undeveloped property consists of seven platted lots and a vacated right-of-way with approximately 1,450 linear feet of frontage on West William Cannon Drive. The westernmost lot has frontage on Stage Coach Trail, a 200-foot long 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. 1 of 20B-11 C14-2021-0161 Page 2 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.

ACTION: PHONE: 974-6454 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: January 27, 2022 ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Austin Independent School District, Austin Lost and Found Pets, Austin Neighborhoods Council, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, NW Austin Neighbors, Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation, Northwest Austin Civic Association, SELTexas, Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group, TNR BCP - Travis County Natural Resources BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: The house was built by local builder Walter Carrington for African-American dentist Dr. Sidney White, Jr. and his wife, Helen, in 1968. The house is a wing-and-gable plan ranch-style house with features of mid-century Modern design. It has a brick veneer exterior with weeping mortar, a relatively rare architectural feature in Austin. The original door and windows have been replaced. The house now has casement windows which fit into the original window openings and do not materially alter the feeling of the original construction. 1 of 28B-12 The house was built by Walter Carrington, a prolific homebuilder in central Texas, who began his career in Austin in the early 1950s. Carrington waw born in San Angelo, Texas in 1924 and passed away in Austin in 2007. He was a graduate of the University of Texas and first went to work with Nelson Puett, a local real estate agent and developer, before starting his own home building company.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture, historical significance, community value. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: July 26, 2021: Initiated historic zoning. August 23, 2021: Recommended historic zoning. Vote: 9-0 (Larosche and Tollett absent). ZONING and PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION: November 2, 2021: Postponed to December 7, 2921 at applicant’s request. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house is beyond the bounds of the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984) but is contributing to the identified Air Conditioned Village National Register Historic District, which was unfortunately not recommended by the State Board of Review. This case came before the Commission in June, 2020 for a full demolition. The applicant in the 2020 case reconsidered their application for full demolition and submitted plans for a partial demolition and retention of the character-defining features of this house; those plans were reviewed and approved by the Commission. The prior proposal would have preserved much of the street façade of the house, replacing deteriorated materials in kind or with a visually-compatible modern material, and an addition to the back in what promised to be a sensitive rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of the house. The Commission initiated historic zoning on the house during the pendency of the preparation of those plans, and satisfied that the plans would preserve the character of the house, dropped the historic zoning case. Since that time, the original applicants sold the house to the current applicant, who is seeking a permit to demolish the house and build a new house in its place. This house, being remarkably intact from the time of its construction, would have been contributing to the Air-Conditioned Village National Register Historic District, presented to 1 of 8B-13 2 the State Board of Renew earlier this month. There was owner opposition to the creation of the district and the nomination failed to …

William Cannon Drive Project CASE: C14-2021-0161 Sunday, December 5, 2021 10:42:17 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Rhoades, Thank you for this opportunity. I strongly oppose the rezoning of this urban forest property contiguous with Stephenson Nature Preserve to high density unaffordable housing. The real estate developer proposes to destroy a rich urban forest and nature preserve negatively impacting a wildlife population that includes gray foxes, rabbits and deer. This property is the sole wildlife bridge and a posted wildlife crossing for an extended urban green belt and the only access to Stephenson Nature Preserve. The Ranch Road right-of-way is the only access to the hiking trails of Stephenson Nature Preserve for local citizens and will be eliminated. Tens of thousands of oxygen generating carbon dioxide absorbing trees and vegetation will be destroyed and replaced with with hundreds of automobiles and trucks degrading air quality and exacerbating already dense and often life threatening traffic along West William Cannon which is already effectively off-limits to bicycle traffic. This month alone one of our female gray foxes and a young deer were killed. Last week a speeding pickup truck drove across the sidewalk and into a home. This property owner has been a terrible neighbor allowing illegal dumping, trash, shopping cart accumulations and public sidewalks to become overgrown and impassable. Clean-up has been largely left to the local citizens. I have personally arranged four shopping cart returns to HEB and picked up many bags of garbage on this property. The property owner continues to demonstrate indifference and contempt for the neighborhood. This property was originally part of black owned land farmed as part of Kincheonville supplying food for Tillotson College. In 1928 The City of Austin denied these black and hispanic land owners access to water, electricity and education forcing them into East Austin “negrotown.” The property contains remnants of stone walls and a remarkably preserved well. Historic or archeologic survey should be required before any further zoning considerations. Please don’t rezone this forest for destruction and profit of a wealthy developer at the expense of the community. Such rezoning would result in worsening air quality, traffic safety, public access to the nature preserve and urban wildlife diversity & safety. Respectfully, Rick Davis 3014 West William Cannon Dr. 415-298-1967 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from …
Zoning & Platting Commission Case: C14H-2021-0164 Dec 7 2502 Park View Dr Joseph Reynolds 2611 West 49th Member Allandale Zoning Committee Commissioners, I am writing for myself – I support full historic recognition and designation for 2502 Park View. 2502 Park View was one of the experimental houses in The Air Conditioned Village, used to determine how residences could/should be air-conditioned. The experiment was to try various ways to install air conditioning, to try different A/C designs, to study how to move the cold air, how to preserve the cool during summer heat, to determine what life effects it would have, to measure the electricity used to cool the houses - A/C was a change that resulted in housing booms in hot climate. It made business in the South attractive. The Air Conditioned Village was a joint project of the National Association of Homebuilders, and the University of Texas. It was similar to SEMATECH the semiconductor consortium that Admiral Inman initiated here in Austin in 1987, but without the government funding. Various potential competitors could work on common problems, to advance technology, avoiding concerns of improper collusion. In 1950s major population centers were in the North. There, houses have basements because the foundation must be deep, below the freeze line. Furnaces were put in the basement, and in some of them ducts in the basement directed the hot air to the various rooms; some sent heat via steam pipes to the various rooms for radiators. Also, in the North, attics are extra rooms, where odd stuff is stored. In the South, attics are ovens. In the South freezing ground isn’t a problem, so houses have slab foundations or short piers. The AC Village would ‘investigate’ various ways to place equipment, investigate how to move heat, to determine what redesign would improve that. It was to show the practicality of air-conditioned living. In 1950, air conditioners used ammonia as the chemical to move heat from the cooling evaporator to the condenser. Liquid ammonia expands and vaporizes as it is released into cooling coils. The heat of vaporization required to change from liquid stage to vapor is taken from the coils and the air that blows over them; they become cool. The ammonia, now a gas is sucked out to a compressor, where during compression, the same amount of heat is released to coils making them hot. When they are cooled, the …
Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Kevin Smith Sunday, August 22, 2021 12:03 PM PAZ Preservation *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Commissioners and City Staff, As we are back in COVID‐19 Stage 5 restrictions, the volunteers and I did not feel it was prudent to potentially risk exposure by collecting signatures opposing the demolition of 2502 Park View Dr in person. Instead, like a lot of other things during the pandemic we turned to digital solution. We created a change.org petition, to help safely gather signatures. We also asked for the signatures of the petition to include their zip code so we have an idea of where the support for saving this potential local landmark with national significance. An added benefit of collecting signatures in this manner is it dove‐tails nicely with one of Local Landmark Criteria‐ Community Value. From the over 450 signatures of the petition, Thank you for your time and consideration. Kevin Attachments (2) CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

"We are already losing too much of Austin’s history in the push to develop and grow." Joe Reynolds Austin TX 78731 US 8/18/2021 "The houses of Air Conditioned Village are iconic artifacts of an important study, how to effectively include air-conditioning in single family homes. At the time of the study, air conditioning was limited to large places, like department stores, or movie theaters. Freon? Ammonia was the fluid used. Water cooling towers were needed to condense and recycle the refrigerant. How best to dispense the cool air around the house? How to insulate? There were many architecture and engineering issues. After the experiment more modern systems were designed, no more water towers; costs fell, soon A/C could fit into a window. The southern climate was conquered and life there changed.The houses are the equivalent of 1800s steam locomotives, or early 1900s airplanes, or 1958 transistors. They deserve national recognition and publicity." "This was a time in our country when hope and …
Historic Designation Supports Affordable Housing Case C14H-2021-0164 2502 Park View Joe Reynolds 2611 West 49th St Member Allandale Zoning Committee Most Austin residents need ‘affordable’ housing. The median price is too Historic designation reduces bidding by foreign and corporate buyers when Commissioners, I am writing for myself. I’m addressing the false idea that making something ‘Historic’ makes it more expensive. Importance of Affordable Housing high. This means that both monthly rental and monthly mortgage payments consume too much of family income. The median price numbers are skewed by new construction, so one approach is to preserve older places as livable space. The older units reflect the building patterns of yesteryear. Most are small single family houses developed at the end of World War II when the veterans got housing benefits. (I will relate my personal story at the end. When I was 3yrs old, my family of 7 moved into a 700sqft house in a housing project on the West City Limit of Dallas.) Impact of Historic Designation Historic designation is an impediment to scraping a perfectly good, affordable, house into dumpsters and the landfill. A Historic house may have some limits on any changes to its’ ‘street appearance’, but it remains viable as a residence and be maintainable. It’s a great place for kids and pets. the house is for sale. They want a clear path to getting the most money quickly. They bid up prices, preventing individuals and families from having access to the lower price of existing housing. Historic designation deters even local serial demolishers, who force individuals and families out of the market. They want to build new and big. But, any new place is much more expensive than older existing residences. Pflugerville Palaces are $$$$. If Historic Zoning is denied, 2502 Park View will not remain affordable. Importance of Preserving Culture into the future. Without the heritage each youngster and family must rediscover for themselves ways to approach social and personal problems. Without the cultural surrounding, key community institutions, like churches and social clubs, will fail. Then neighbor-neighbor support fails too. Impact of New Development Destructive I was very active during the ICRC redistricting of Council Districts. I went to most of the meetings. The loss of traditional ‘place’ was evident in the new Census data. The racial change of the residents is complete and was precipitous. Areas formerly supporting racial opportunity voting were no …
EDUCATIONAL IMPACT STATEMENT Prepared for the City of Austin Austin Independent School District PROJECT NAME: ADDRESS/LOCATION: 3101 William Cannon Drive CASE #: C14-2021-0161 NEW SINGLE FAMILY NEW MULTIFAMILY DEMOLITION OF MULTIFAMILY TAX CREDIT 0.01 Middle School: High School: 0.023 High School: Middle School: STUDENTS PER UNIT ASSUMPTION Elementary School: STUDENTS PER UNIT ASSUMPTION Elementary School: 0.026 # SF UNITS: # MF UNITS: 300 IMPACT ON SCHOOLS The student yield factor of 0.059 (across all grade levels) for apartment homes was used to determine the number of projected students. This was determined by the district’s demographer by looking at similar projects in the area. The proposed 300-unit multifamily development is projected to add approximately 18 students across all grade levels to the projected student population. It is estimated that of the 18 students, 8 will be assigned to Sunset Valley Elementary School 3 to Covington Middle School, and 7 to Crockett Early College High School. The percent of permanent capacity by enrollment for School Year 2025-26, including the additional students projected with this development, would be within the utilization target range of 85-110% at Sunset Valley ES (106%), and below the target range at Covington MS (60%), and Crockett ECHS (75%). The projected additional students at Covington MS and Crockett ECHS would not offset the anticipated decline in student enrollment. TRANSPORTATION IMPACT Students attending Sunset Valley ES and Crockett ECHS will qualify for transportation, however, there will be no impact. Students at Covington MS will not qualify for transportation unless a hazardous route condition is identified. SAFETY IMPACT There are not any identified safety impacts at this time.
