Zoning and Platting Commission DRAFT Recommendation Date: August 6, 2024 Subject: Bird-friendly design and building solutions WHEREAS, the Zoning and Platting Commission was given a presentation about Bird Safe Design by Heidi Trudell, Bird Safe Design Specialist with support from Travis Audubon; and WHEREAS, the core principles of Imagine Austin include the integration of nature into the city and sustainably managed environmental resources; and WHEREAS, the City of Austin was named a Bird City in February 2023; and WHEREAS, each year, nearly two billion birds travel through the State of Texas, and WHEREAS, over 400 species of birds reside or migrate through Travis County every spring and fall. Both endangered species and species of concern utilize the Central Flyway and geological way finders of the Balcones Escarpment and Colorado River during their migration; and WHEREAS, the hills of Austin and Travis County are home to the endangered Golden- cheeked Warbler; and WHEREAS, the City of Austin benefits from the annual $1.8 billion generated from bird tourism in Texas; and WHEREAS, birds colliding with poorly designed buildings results in up to 2 million birds dying in the US every year; and WHEREAS, more than 30 cities have adopted bird-safe design practices into their code and/or practices.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: SF-3 DISTRICT: 5 CASE: C14-2024-0089 (7900 Persimmon Trail) ADDRESS: 7900 Persimmon Trail ZONING FROM: MH SITE AREA: .2441 acres (10,633.93 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Anna Cecilia Berry AGENT: Texas Permitting Solutions (Shae Willard) 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: July 16, 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 single-family residence. Staff is recommending the Family Residence (SF-3) district zoning. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. C14-2023-0000 2 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 located 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.

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: July 16, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: In December 2023, Ordinance No. 20220609-080, Ordinance No. 20221201-056 and Ordinance No. 20221201-055 were invalidated. On March 11, 2024, Ordinance No. 20240229-073, was enacted to create the “DB90” combining district, which amended City Code Title 25 (Land Development) 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. C14-2024-0047 Page 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is approximately 7.459 acres and is developed with a modest industrial warehouse and four single-family residential buildings but is primarily undeveloped. The rezoning area is situated at the east side of S. 1st Street, just north of the intersection with Ralph Ablanedo Drive and less than half a mile north of its intersection with Slaughter Lane. S. 1st Street is a level 3 mobility corridor, and the site is located equidistant walking distance two stops for Cap Metro bus route 10, with high frequency access to downtown. This portion of S. 1st Street is identified as an Imagine Austin Corridor, with growth and new development focused along such corridors per the plan. Development on the east side of S. 1st Street is mostly undeveloped to the immediate north (DR) and further north a vacant Construction sales and service use (MF-4-CO). There is a Religious facility use and Childcare service use to the south (IP-CO). To the east is a Fire station and Police station, with access from Ralph Ablanedo Drive (P). Across S. 1st Street to the west is Single family residential use and Multifamily residential (SF-2; MF-2-CO). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial View).

The requirement will deprive the applicant of a privilege or the safety of property given to owners of other similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development; Yes.

Cut in the existing grades over eight feet is needed to allow for the level finished-floor elevations and level loading docks, to maintain drives at minimal grades necessary for truck maneuverability, and to allow ADA access. The site plan proposes two warehouses with truck courts on a 21.6-acre lot that has no natural occurring slopes over 15 percent, requiring cut up to 14.2 feet in depth, and fill up to 15.2 feet in depth.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 10 TO: GR-MU-V-DB90 CASE: C14-2024-0054 (8200 & 8300 North MoPac) ADDRESS: 8200 & 8300 North MoPac Expressway ZONING FROM: LO, LR SITE AREA: 12.26 acres PROPERTY OWNER: OP 8200 MoPac Property, LLC & OP 8300 MoPac Property, LLC AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GR-MU-V-DB90, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Vertical Mixed Use Building-Density Bonus 90 Combining District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 2, 2024 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 compatibility standards, such as FAR, setbacks and building coverage. There are several methods of satisfying DB90 development affordability requirements. …

To the north, along Research Boulevard there is right-of-way area zoned LO and an Automotive Sales use (Covert Automotive) zoned GR-CO. The lots to the south are zoned GR and are developed with Automotive Repair (Pep Boys) and a Pawn Shop use (Top Cash Pawn).

In this request, the applicant is asking for a rezoning to CS-CO to redevelop this property with a Limited Warehousing and Distribution use (please see the Applicant’s Request Letter - Exhibit C). After discussions with adjacent neighbors, the applicant is proposing a conditional overlay with this rezoning request (please see Applicant’s Amendment Letter – Exhibit D).

PROPERTY OWNER: Eddie & Leila Mayfield AGENT: Keepers Land Planning (Ricca Keepers) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to recommend Single-Family Residence (Large Lot) – Conditional Overlay (SF-1-CO) combined district zoning.

GREENBERG-2ND] (8-0) TWO VACANCIES ON THE DIAS C14-2023-0155 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is 0.92 acres, developed with one single family residence, has access to Oak Valley Road (level 1), and is designated interim-rural residence (I-RR). The property has single family residences (I-RR & I-SF-2) to the west, hotel-motel (ETJ) to the south, commercial and bars (ETJ) to the north, south, and east and mobile home residences (I-RR) to the north. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant and owner agree with the staff’s recommendation and are seeking a permanent zoning to allow the use of a bed and breakfast on the property. Staff is recommending single- family residence (large lot) (SF-1) zoning district because there are environmental constraints on the site that would need to limit the impervious cover and building coverage of future development. Per the Watershed Protection Department, there are significant flood risks to private properties and homes downstream of this location. The additional impervious cover on this lot would, in part with other development/redevelopment in the area, exacerbate this flood risk. Based upon the city of Austin’s regulatory floodplain map, the existing building on the property at 2103 Oak Valley Road encroaches in the 100-year floodplain. If the owner proposed to construct additional buildings south of the current building location, they would be well within the 100-year floodplain and would be at significant risk of flooding. The …

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 18, 2024 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2024-0014 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The site under consideration is currently developed with an automotive repair use that takes access to FM 1825 Road. The property received an interim (I-SF-2) land use designation upon annexation. The surrounding areas to the north, south and west are zoned GR-CO. There is an automotive washing use (Mister Car Wash) to the north and a surface parking area to the south. To the west there is a retail center, with restaurant uses, retail sales (Ashley Furniture) and an indoor entertainment (Cinemark Tinseltown Movie Theater). Across FM 1825 Road to the east, there is a retail use (Bloomin Across Texas Florist) in the county.
