From: Carolyn Dallmeyer Sent: Saturday, August 17, 2024 6:37 PM To: Estrada, Nancy <Nancy.Estrada@austintexas.gov> Subject: Agenda item #6 Aug 20, 2024. #C14-2023-0048 ( 7500 Burnet Rd 2412 Richcreek Rd External Email - Exercise Caution I oppose and have submitted the following online. I am opposed to the proposed changes at 7500 Burnet Rd. I also oppose the demolition of Allandale Commons at 2412 Richcreek Rd. The current apartment building demolition is most objectionable. These 18 apts are in good condition and will displace EIGHTEEN units of affordable housing to be replaced with TEN in a new building, that are years away from completion. Q: What are you thinking? A: The City Council talks a big game about Affordability - how does the loss of EIGHT family units equate? Rosedale Campus at 7505 Silvercrest Dr and Richcreek Rd is AISD's campus for special needs students from throughout the city. In the 23-24 school year, daily there were approximately 30 round trips through the intersection of Richcreek and Burnet Rd. Given that students/staff walk to and use bus services during the school days for outings and life skills training, adding traffic congestion from a high-rise apartment and commercial renters to the Burnet Rd corner is dangerous.

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 6, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2024-0087 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 11,631 sq. ft undeveloped lot fronting Jekel Circle that is currently zoned LI-CO. Surrounding land uses include office uses to the north and east zoned CS, a religious assembly use with a surface parking lot to the south zoned LI-CO and a construction sales and services use zoned CS-CO across Jekel Circle to the west. In this case, the applicant is requesting a downzoning to the CS district to utilize the Affordability Unlocked program to develop residential units at this location. The staff recommends CS, General Commercial Services District, zoning because the property is located within a commercial area. The lots surrounding this site to the north, east and west are zoned with CS and CS-CO.

C14-2023-0118; Ordinance No. 20240215-041). According to the applicant, the purpose of this rezoning is to unify this subject site with that at 7331 and 7333 Bluff Springs Road, anticipating a 247-unit multifamily residence, to allow additional acreage for needed drainage and infrastructure. This rezoning request to MF-3 encompasses 1.9071 acres, portioned from a parcel that is 2.2409 acres; the remaining portion will remain SF-2. Further, the TIA worksheet on file for this rezoning request and the applicant summary notes that Patsy Parkway will not be used for access; access to this property will be from Bluff Springs Road via the adjacent parcel at 7331 and 7333 Bluff Springs Road. C14-2024-0057 Page 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is approximately 1.9071 acres, however the entire parcel is 2.2409 acres, and is developed with a single family residence with frontage on Patsy Parkway.

PROPERTY OWNER: Shane Hauptli and Carol Short AGENT: Keepers Land Planning (Ricca Keepers) CASE MANAGER: Beverly Villela (512-978-0740, Beverly.Villela@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends SF-3, Family Residence District, zoning. See the Basis of Recommendation section below. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 6, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is an undeveloped lot within the Greenleaf Estates subdivision. The Greenleaf Estates and the Brownleaf Estates, the adjacent subdivision to the north, are manufactured home subdivisions and were zoned mobile home residence (MH) district in the mid-1980s. Some of the lots contain one or more manufactured homes, and other lots have single family residence or two-family residence uses. In this case, the applicant has requested SF-3 zoning to build a family residence. Staff is recommending the Family Residence (SF-3) district zoning. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: C14-2023-0000 2 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The Family residence (SF-3) district is the designation for a moderate density single- family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. Up to three units are permitted under single- family residential development standards. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. 2. The staff supports the applicant’s request because the property is in an area that is developed with a mixture of manufactured homes, single family residences, and two- family residences. The SF-3 zoning district would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses and there are existing SF-3 and SF-2-CO zoned properties located to the north and east that are currently developed with single-family residential uses. In addition, many of the manufactured homes in this area have been enclosed with framed facades making it difficult to recognize them as manufactured homes and not single-family structures.

August 6, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 2 ISSUES: In December of 2023, Ordinance No. 20220609-080, Ordinance No. 20221201-056 and Ordinance No. 20221201-055 were invalidated. On March 11, 2024, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 20240229-073 to create the “DB90” combining district, which amended City Land Development Code - Title 25 to create a new zoning district for a density bonus program that grants 30 feet in height above the base zoning district, to a maximum of 90 feet, and modifies site development regulations including compatibility standards. Subsequently, the applicant submitted this new rezoning application to request the -DB90 combining district. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 12.26 acre tract of land that is developed with an office complex that has LO zoning, with footprint areas of LR zoning. The lot to the south, across Steck Avenue, contains a vacant restaurant use (Luby’s) that is zoned MF-6. To the north, there are MF-2 and LO zoned lots that are developed with multifamily (Bent Tree Apartments) and office (The Woods II) uses. The land to the west is developed with residential condos (The Arbors) zoned LO. In this application, the property owner is requesting to rezone these lots to GR-MU-V-DB90 zoning to allow for a phased redevelopment of the existing surface parking and office uses. The applicant states that their intent is to support residential, office, and retail uses and allow for participation in the DB90 program. (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). A development utilizing the “density bonus 90” incentives is permitted with a base GR district and must include an affordability component for residential use in order to obtain incentives, including height maximum of 90 feet in the GR district (60 feet maximum in the base district plus 30 feet incentive) and relaxation of development and …

CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is 2.03 acres located on the eastbound service road of State Highway 71. It is situated east of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and slightly west of FM 973. The site is currently an undeveloped tract that is zoned interim-rural residence (I-RR).

The Austin Transitional Center as well as several county facilities such as the Travis County correctional facility, Travis County softball facility and the Sheriff’s office are located to the south (P).

C14-2024-0062 Page 2 The Applicant is requesting to rezone the site to general commercial services (CS) district zoning and is proposing an express automatic car wash. The property is located within the Airport Overlay Zone (CCLUA; AO-3); however, commercial and industrial uses are permitted within this area. Staff is recommending (CS) district zoning due to its location along a freeway as well as being near the intersection of two major arterial roads, East State Highway 71 and FM 973. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The proposed general commercial services (CS) district zoning is intended for commercial or industrial uses that typically have operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments. The CS district is best suited for uses located at intersections of arterial roadways or arterials with collector status. 2. Zoning changes should promote an orderly and compatible relationship among land uses.
