How will the privacy be maintained for homes that back up to the west side of Copperfield Drive? The structures on the three lots (addressed from Zeller Lane) are nearly 300ft and more from the proposed structures to be built. This creates a significant buffer such that the new units will not be looming over the yards of those homes. The houses on Markham that back up to the subject tract are, at a minimum, 134feet and as far as 189ft from the proposed buildings. In addition to trees being preserved on the property, more trees will be planted with some along Copperfield Drive. 2. Additional concerns that the proposed development will be run-down and not taken care of. Reiterating that as an affordable housing development, the owner is required to keep ownership of the development for a minimum of 15 years. Therefore, this will not be a scenario where the property is developed and flipped to someone else with little to no knowledge of these conversations/concerns. Further, there will be state and local oversight, with various inspections, some occurring annually, to ensure that the project is meeting the requirements of the program. It is in the best interest of the landowner to keep the property in good standing because if not, the landowner/developer will have financial penalties/repercussions. 3. Is this development Section 8 housing? No. 4. How much are the proposed rents? The following are the rent maximums according to 2021 Austin Metropolitan Statistical Area data and are subject to change over time as the data changes. This development is proposed to have all units at 60% or 50% MFI levels. Therefore, a family of 4 …

Site access from Dessau Road is aligned with Childress Drive that goes west from Dessau Rd. The rezoning tract is 3.2 acres (139,392 sq. ft) of land. Applicant requests community commercial (GR) district zoning which permits religious assembly (church) uses. The site is in the Walnut Creek Watershed. Commercial zoning in this Suburban watershed is allowed a maximum of 80% impervious cover. Religious Assembly (church) use is permitted in most zone districts. The applicant in this case requested community commercial (GR) district zoning to obtain development regulations that permit 80% impervious coverage. With the proposed conditional overlay, staff believes that the requested GR zoning will be compatible with future development of the multifamily residence moderate high density (MF-4) district zoning on adjoining land to the north. The MF-4 district, and all multifamily residence districts in this watershed permit a maximum of 60% impervious coverage. There are three existing churches on the east side of Dessau Rd. between Childress Dr. and Rundberg Ln. The subject 3.2 acre rezoning tract is part of a 16.602 acre tract of land zoned interim – rural residence (I-RR) when annexed in 2003.

PROPERTY OWNER: Gyro Plus LLC (Mohammed Arami) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends GR-MU, Community Commercial-Mixed Use Combining District, zoning for Tract 1 and LO-MU, Limited Office- Mixed Use Combining District, zoning for Tract 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 7, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 12B-10 C14-2021-0109 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a 1.41 acre site that contains a vacant retail building and a small warehouse (formerly Buck’s Bikes Super Store) which fronts U.S. Highway 183 North. To the east, there is a retail center (Oak Knoll Village). The tract of land to the west contains an automotive repair use (Oak Knoll Automotive). The lots to the south, across Jollyville Road, are developed with duplex residences. The applicant is requesting GR-MU zoning to redevelop the site with retail mixed use. The staff is recommending GR-MU zoning for Tract 1 and LO-MU zoning for Tract 2. GR- MU zoning on Tract 1 will permit the applicant to redevelop the site with retail and residential uses fronting Research Boulevard/U.S. Highway 183 North. The staff is recommending adding an ‘MU’ combining district to the entire property (both Tract 1 and Tract 2) to permit the addition of residential uses. The proposed zoning will promote consistency with the permitted uses developed adjacent to this tract in the existing Community Commercial zoning located to the east and west. Commercial-mixed use and office-mixed use zoning will permit the applicant to utilize vacant structures to allow for mixed use development on the site. More intensive zoning is appropriate for a retail development fronting a major highway within an area of concentrated commercial and retail development. In addition, the staff is recommending a 120-foot buffer of LO-MU zoning along Jollyville Road for Tract 2 in accordance with the intent of the U.S. 183/Jollyville Road Area Study. The policy of a 120-foot strip buffer of LO zoning along the east side of Jollyville Road has been consistently applied to date to maintain a setback from the commercial uses fronting U.S. Highway 183 to the residential and office uses to the west across Jollyville Road. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should …
