PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 12, 2022: June 14, 2022: APPROVED A POSTPONEMENT REQUEST BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO JULY 12, 2022. [C. HEMPEL; J. SHIEH – 2ND] VOTE: 10-0, COMMISSIONERS HOWARD, MUSHTALER, AND THOMPSON – ABSENT CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 28, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Applicant has discussed this case with representatives of the Old West Austin Neighborhood Association (OWANA) Zoning Committee. Correspondence from the OWANA Zoning Committee is attached at the back of this report. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject platted lot is located at the north corner of Highland Avenue and the unbuilt Bellemont Street, and within the Smoot / Terrace Park Historic District. The subject lot is zoned multifamily residence – moderate-high density – historic area – neighborhood plan (MF-4-HD-NP) combining district zoning, and contains one single family residence on the south side and an undeveloped area on the north side. There is a single family residence and 1 of 15B-10 C14-2022-0047 Page 2 a triplex to the north, and single family residences to the east, south and west (MF-4-HD-NP; MF-4-H-HD-NP; SF-3-HD-NP; SF-3-H-HD-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). The Applicant has requested the single family residence-small lot – historic area – neighborhood plan (SF-4A-HD-NP) district in order to facilitate a resubdivision of the lot and build a single family residence on the north side of the rezoning area on a new lot. Changes are not proposed to the existing single family residence. The existing lot does not meet the minimum size required for a resubdivision to occur under the family residence (SF- 3) base zoning district (11,500 square feet would be needed), hence the need for the SF-4A base zoning district which has a minimum lot size of 3,600 square feet. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The single family residence-small lot (SF-4A) district is intended …

C20-2022-002 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2022-002 Commercial Parkland Dedication Description: Consider an amendment to Title 25-1 of the City Code to require parkland dedication for commercial developments. Proposed Language: See attached draft ordinance. Summary of proposed code amendment • Parkland dedication would apply to new commercial developments, specifically office, retail, industrial/warehouse, and hotel uses. This would be in addition to the existing residential requirements currently in effect. The commercial requirement would use the current formula of 9.4 acres of parkland per 1,000 new users of the parks system. The commercial uses would be calculated based on the number of employees per square foot, discounted by hours of operation, occupancy rate, and commuter percentage rates. Criteria for dedication and fee in-lieu would remain the same as for residential developments. • • Background: Initiated by City Council Resolution 20220407-042 On April 7, 2022, Council approved resolution No. 20220407-042, which initiated code amendments to the Parkland Dedication Ordinance in City Code Chapter 25- I (General Requirements and Procedures) to require parkland dedication for office, industrial, and commercial developments; and directed the City Manager to place the code amendment on an upcoming Council agenda that provides Council with sufficient time to adopt the ordinance and place the fee into the Fiscal Year 2023 budget; a 10-0 vote with Council Member Harper-Madison off the dais. Staff Recommendation: Staff brings forward the amendment with recommendation. Board and Commission Actions July 12, 2022: To be reviewed by the Planning Commission. July 25, 2022: To be reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Board. Council Action June 16, 2022: A public hearing has been scheduled for July 28, 2022 Ordinance Number: NA City Staff: Randy Scott Email: Randy.Scott@austintexas.gov Phone: 512-974-9484 1 1 of 75B-13 PROPOSED CHANGES TO ARTICLE 14 (PARKLAND DEDICATION) ADDING COMMERCIAL PARKLAND DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS DRAFT SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL CHANGES ARTICLE 14.

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.

PROPERTY OWNER: Udaya and Uma Kumar AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Alice Glasco) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends SF-6, Townhouse and Condominium Residence district, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 7, 2022: Postponed to June 21, 2022 at the applicant's request by consent (9-0, N. Barrera-Ramirez and L. Stern-absent); H. Smith-1st, B. Greenberg-2nd. June 21, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 13B-2 C14-2022-0044 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a 7.63 acre undeveloped tract of land that takes access to Zimmerman Lane. The area to the north is undeveloped. To the south, across Zimmerman Lane there is an undeveloped tract of land zoned MF-2 and an apartment complex that was zoned PUD as part of the Four Points Centre Planned Unit Development that takes access to North FM 620 Road. To the east, along Zimmerman Lane, there are single family residences zoned DR and townhouse/condominium residences zoned SF-6-CO at the end of Zimmerman Lane. The property to the west, at the northeast corner of N. FM 620 Road, is developed with a convenience storage/vehicle storage use (Longhorn Boat & Camper Storage) zoned SF-2 that was constructed prior to annexation by the city. The applicant in this case is requesting to rezone this site from DR, Development Reserve District, zoning to MF-3, Multifamily Residence-Medium Density district, zoning to construct a 150-unit multifamily use at this location. This tract of land fronts onto Zimmerman Lane, a twenty foot wide collector street that dead ends into a cul-de-sac. Originally, Zimmerman Lane was projected to connect with Forsythia Drive, to the east, as part of the Arterial 8 extension. Arterial 8 (Forsythia Drive) was planned to be a ninety-foot arterial roadway that was to connect Loop 360 to Yaupon Drive. The City of Austin has deleted the plans to construct Arterial 8, due in part to BCCP issues and because of the City’s purchase of the Stennis Tract. Zimmerman Lane is a county roadway that was annexed by the city of Austin in 1997. There are no planned improvements for this portion of Zimmerman Lane and there will not be a traffic light constructed at the intersection of Zimmerman Lane and F.M. 620 because …
