TO: L A W D E P A R T M E N T M E M O R A N D U M ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION FROM: PATRICIA LINK, DIVISION CHIEF, LAND USE AND REAL ESTATE DATE: MARCH 28, 2022 SUBJECT: C14-2018-0124 –RIVER PLACE (MILKY WAY) ZONING & RESTRICTIVE COVENANT This memorandum concerns the neighborhood traffic analysis (NTA) referenced in a public restrictive covenant (RC) associated with Zoning Case C14-2018-0124 for property located on Milky Way Drive (Milky Way). In 2020, City staff and the property owner recorded an affidavit to correct the date of the NTA referenced in the RC. As explained below, this action did not amend or terminate the RC and Council approval was not required. SUMMARY OF THE ZONING CASE HISTORY AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANT ACTIONS In 2018, the property owner (applicant) applied to rezone the property from development reserve (DR) to single family residence large lot-conditional overlay (SF-1-CO). City staff conducted an NTA based on the applicant’s request (Original NTA). The Commission forwarded the request to Council without a recommendation. Before Council considered the case, the applicant amended the rezoning request from SF-1-CO to townhouse and condominium residence-conditional overlay (SF-6-CO). The Commission considered the amended request and forwarded it to Council without a recommendation. After the Commission considered the amended request, City staff revised the Original NTA based on the amended rezoning application (Revised NTA) and included the Revised NTA in Council’s backup materials. Because SF-6-CO was the request presented to Council, the Revised NTA is the controlling NTA. At third reading, Council rezoned the property to SF-6-CO. The applicant signed a RC related to the NTA.1 This RC was recorded in the real property records. See Exhibit A. Subsequently, the applicant notified City staff that the RC did not reference the correct NTA (i.e. Revised NTA). City staff confirmed that the RC included an error because it referenced the Original NTA, not the controlling NTA (i.e. Revised NTA). A correction document does not amend or terminate an existing recorded document but, instead, preserves the validity of the recorded document while still ensuring accurate official records. State law establishes the requirements for correction documents. To correct the date of the NTA, the City and the applicant signed and recorded a correction affidavit. See Exhibit B. The correction affidavit met the requirements in state law and, as a result, does not amend or terminate the …

February 1, 2022: Postponed to March 1, 2022. March 1, 2022: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: This house would have contributed to the Air-Conditioned Village National Register Historic District, presented to the State Board of Review for the National Register of Historic Places in September 2021. For further information, see the draft nomination at https://www.thc.texas.gov/public/upload/preserve/national_register/ draft_nominations/Austin%2C%20Air%20Conditioned%20Village%20SBR.pdf. Due to owner opposition to the creation of the district, the nomination failed to move forward. However, this setback does not reflect on the significance of Austin’s Air-Conditioned Village experiment, and the Chrysler Air-Temp House is one of the best-preserved examples of the houses built and studied. Excerpts from the nomination are incorporated herein as relevant for context. This case initially came before the Historic Landmark 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. This 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 …
