ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Recommendation Number: (20200707-C1) : Virtual Meetings Please see attachment. Date of Approval: July 7, 2020 Record of the vote: Unanimous vote of 10-0; One vacancy on the Commission. Attest: _____________________________________________ Liaison Zoning and Platting Commission Resolution on Virtual Meetings Whereas, since March 2020 the Zoning and Platting Commission has been unable to meet in person due to the stay-home work order resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. It is unknown at this time how long these conditions will last. Whereas, site development and zoning cases continue to be processed by the City of Austin, therefore necessitating the need for decisions by the Zoning and Platting Commission. Whereas, virtual meetings with the use of Cisco WebEx along with analog phone calls have been used by the City of Austin to enable the Zoning and Platting Commission to hold regular meetings. Whereas, call-in public participation allows for more flexibility in participation because citizens can participate from home as opposed to traveling to City Hall to provide feedback. Now Therefore Be It Resolved: That the City Council allow the Zoning and Platting Commission to receive training from the Computer and Technology Management (CTM) staff to optimize the videoconferencing technology used. This includes providing instruction on how to make presentations, share screens, how to enable functions of the platform such as blurring or changing the background of the virtual platform. Be It Further Resolved: Be It Further Resolved: To improve public awareness of what is happening during the virtual meeting, staff presenting during the meeting should be included on the screen. Also, pertinent meeting documents such as maps, agenda, and the dynamic speaker list showing the queue of speakers and who is next in the queue should be shown on the screen. To encourage equitable public participation, provide more clarity and ease of registration. 1. This includes making dial-in instructions available in multiple languages, written instructions so that potential speakers know what to expect during the call, and inclusion of the call-in number in case their call gets dropped. In addition, as soon as the community or stakeholder is notified about a zoning request, the notification should include instructions on how to register to speak on the item within this new system. 2. This also includes establishing a revised deadline of registering as a speaker by 9 AM the morning of the meeting. Speakers wishing to speak on items included …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0041 (Stowers and Schiller) DISTRICT: 10 ADDRESS: 8500 Bluegrass Drive ZONING FROM: LR TO: SF-2 SITE AREA: 2.05 acres (89,298sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Ken Schiller AGENT: Steve T. Stowers CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends SF-2, Single Family-Standard Lot District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 16, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-2 C14-2020-0041 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently undeveloped. The lots to the north are zoned SF-2-CO and are developed with single-family residences. To the south and east, there are PUD and LO zoned tracts that contain office buildings. To the west, there is undeveloped land that was originally right-of-way area for the construction of Arterial 8. The applicant’s request to change in the intensity of land use at this site is consistent with the deletion of Arterial 8 (Forsythia Drive), a ninety-foot arterial roadway that was to connect Loop 360 to Yaupon Drive. The City of Austin’s plans to construct Arterial 8 changed, due in part to BCCP issues and with the City’s purchase of the adjoining Stennis Tract. In this request, the applicant is asking to down zone this tract of land to build a single-family residence on the site. The staff recommends SF-2 zoning as the property meets the intent of the Single-Family Residence-Standard Lot district designation and is consistent with the SF- 2-CO zoning the north and west. SF-2 zoning will allow the applicant to develop the property with a single-family residence that is compatible with the residential uses adjacent to the site. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Single-Family Residence (Standard Lot) district is intended as an area for moderate density single-family residential use, with a minimum lot size of 5,750 square feet. This district is appropriate for existing single-family neighborhoods having moderate sized lot patterns, as well as for development of additional single-family housing areas with minimum land requirements. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed SF-2 zoning is consistent with the existing SF-2-CO zoning to the north and west. 3. The proposed zoning should allow for a reasonable use of the property. SF-2 zoning will allow the applicant to develop the property with a single-family residence …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: GR-MU DISTRICT: 7 CASE: C14-2020-0050 (3100 Scofield Parkway) ZONING FROM: LR ADDRESS: 3100 Scofield Ridge Parkway SITE AREA: 3.28 acres (142,876.8 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Tiger Creek Partners, LP (John Bultman) AGENT: Metcalfe, Wolff, Stuart & Williams, LLP (Michele Rogerson Lynch) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GR-MU, Community Commercial-Mixed Use Combining District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 16, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-3 C14-2020-0050 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently undeveloped tract of land located at the northeast intersection Burnet Road/FM 1325 and Scofield Ridge Parkway. The applicant is requesting to rezone this site because they propose to develop multifamily uses on the property. The staff is recommending GR-MU zoning at this location because the applicant’s request meets the intent of the purpose statement for the base and combining zoning district designations. The proposed zoning will promote consistency and orderly planning as the site under consideration is adjacent to existing commercial zoning to the north (GR) and south (GR-MU) and multifamily zoning to the east (MF-3-CO). The properties directly to the east and south of this tract are developed with apartment complexes (Scofield Park at Austin Apartments and Scofield Apartments). The GR-MU zoning district would allow for a fair and reasonable use of the site because it will permit this site to be developed with commercial uses, residential uses or a mixture of commercial and residential uses at the intersection of two arterial roadways. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The Community Commercial (GR) district is the designation for an office or other commercial use that serves neighborhood and community needs and that generally is accessible from major traffic ways. The purpose of a mixed use (MU) combining district is to allow office, retail, commercial, and residential uses to be combined in a single development. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed zoning will promote consistency and orderly planning as the site under consideration is adjacent to existing commercial zoning to the north (GR) and south (GR- MU) and multifamily zoning to the east (MF-3-CO). The properties directly to the east and south of this tract are developed with apartment complexes (Scofield …

CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for a +/- 161.4 acre tract located along the west side of SH 130 approximately 1,800 feet south of US 290 East. The property is zoned I-RR and is undeveloped. North of the property are undeveloped tracts zoned CS-CO, PUD, and I-RR. West and northwest of the property is a residential property zoned I-RR and a property located outside the City Limits that is developed with automotive repair services and a recycling collection facility. The southern boundary of the rezoning property is the Southwestern railroad. South of the railroad is undeveloped land zoned PUD. Southwest of the property is land zoned P that is part of the Walter E. Long parkland. Across SH 130 to the east is property zoned PUD that is developed with commercial and residential land uses. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The PUD zoned properties to the north, east and south of the proposed rezoning are all part of the Wildhorse Planned Unit Development. The portion that is located immediately north of the rezoning is under the same ownership but is not part of the rezoning request. This parcel may be incorporated into the overall development by providing vehicular access to the SH 130 southbound service road. The portion of the PUD that is south of the railroad boundary is planned primarily for residential land uses with park and other amenities. The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) includes an extension of Braker Lane across the rezoning property that divides the property into a northern tract (Tract 1) and a southern tract (Tract 2). …

June 16, 2020 Zoning and Platting Commission Q and A Report B-1. C14-2019-0162 - Slaughter and Cullen; District 2 Questions: Commissioner King As, I understand, the backup for this case indicates that the site is located in the Southpark Meadows Regional Center. The backup defines a Regional Center as: "the most urban of the three activity centers outlined in the growth concept map. These centers are the places where the greatest density of people and jobs and the tallest buildings in the region will be located." The Growth Concept map on pages A-30 and A-31 of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan (IACP) shows Southpark Meadows as a Neighborhood Center. The IACP defines a Neighborhood Center as: "the smallest and least intense of the three types of activity centers outlined in the Growth Concept Map." Given that this site is located in a Neighborhood Center and not a Regional Center, does staff still recommend this zoning request? Why or why not? How may the public obtain a copy of the Southpark Meadows Neighborhood Center plan? Staff Response: Staff is still recommending this rezoning request. I confirmed with Comprehensive Long Range Planning Staff that the property is actually located in an Imagine Austin Town Center (rather than a Regional Center or a Neighborhood Center) and along an Activity Corridor. Town Centers and Activity Corridors support retail and commercial uses, which includes restaurants. Revised comments from Comprehensive Planning are attached and will be incorporated into future editions of the Staff report. The Long Range Planning staff has responded that there is no existing plan, nor plan in progress for the Southpark Meadows Center identified in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. See attached exhibit B-1. B-03 - C14-2020-0050 3100 Scofield Parkway Questions Commissioner King Could you please help me find the compliance report that was submitted on this same parcel in March 2015 to go from LR to CS-CO? Page 6 of the compliance report for this case indicates that the March 2015 zoning application was not approved. I'm trying to find the meeting date and minutes for the ZAP meeting at which the March 2015 zoning application was apparently denied. Staff Response: The previous zoning case for this property, case C14-2016-0035 (Scofield Farms), was withdrawn by the applicant on July 24, 2016 before a zoning case report was compiled and before the Zoning and Platting Commission reviewed the case.

Dear Commissioners: The Park Ridge Owners Association (“Park Ridge”) asks that you consider the following information prior to the zoning hearing on the subject property (the “Property”) that will be held next Tuesday, June 16. I will not have adequate speaking time to provide you with the background history on this matter that the neighbors believe is very important to your deliberations. 2007 Ordinances and Covenants In 2007, the neighbors in Park Ridge that were adjacent to this property and board members began discussions with the former owner regarding uses we believed would provide disruption and intrusion into our daily lives and our right to peaceful enjoyment of our homes. We were unable to reach accord on the uses we wished to restrict, with restaurant uses (both limited and general) being at the very top of our list of prohibited uses. At the first zoning hearing, several of the commissioners voiced their belief that there was sufficient cause to delay ruling on the matter at the first hearing, and the Chair of that commission, the legendary Ms. Betty Baker, formed a "task force" of commissioners, Applicant and neighborhood representatives. The following list of prohibited uses is contained in Ordinance Nos. 20070503-047 and 20070503-048 (the "Cullen and Slaughter Ordinances") and was agreed upon by Applicant and the Neighborhood as a result of the task force meetings. It was and remains our position that restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, would be detrimental to our neighbors whose properties are adjacent. After a round of kumbaya at the second hearing, the Commission ruled and the property was encumbered by the following list of prohibited uses pursuant to the Cullen and Slaughter Ordinances. Current Application to Remove Restaurants from Prohibited Use. Fast forward to 2020, and a new Applicant, who purchased the property at least five years ago, is seeking to rezone the property, and seeks to remove only restaurant uses from the prohibited 1 list. Literally nothing has changed since 2007 that would make a restaurant use now attractive to Park Ridge neighbors. We have the same homes, many of the same owners, and the old and new homeowners of those residences still object to restaurant uses being adjacent to their homes. Applicant advises that its proposed tenant will be a fast food fried chicken chain restaurant called "Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers." Their sole function is fried chicken, and some of their locations are …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0046 (Jollyville Apartments) DISTRICT: 10 ADDRESS: 12182 Jollyville Road ZONING FROM: SF-2 TO: MF-3 SITE AREA: 0.7779 acres (34,919 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Jollyville Development, LLC (David M. Spatz) AGENT: Spatz Development (David Spatz) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MF-3, Multifamily Residence-Medium Density District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 19, 2020: Approved the staff's recommendation of MF-3 zoning by consent (10-0); A. Denkler-1st, D. King-2nd. The item was recinded and postponed to June 2, 2020 for reconsideration (10-0). ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 11, 2020 1 of 25B-1 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently a vacant 0.78 acre tract of land that fronts onto Jollyville Road. To the north, across Jollyville Road, there is GR/GR-CO zoning developed with a commercial retail center (North Brooke Shopping Center). The lots to the south and east are zoned SF-3 and developed with duplex residences (Ranch Stone Residential Neighborhood). Further to the east along Jollyville Road, there is a MF-2 zoned tract that is developed with a multifamily residential use (Shadow Oaks Apartments). To the west, there PUD zoned lot that contains a financial services use (Austin Telco). The applicant is requesting MF-3 zoning to redevelop the property with a multifamily use with approximately 20-26 residential units (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends MF-3, Multifamily Residence-Medium Density District, zoning for this property. The tract of land meets the intent of the MF-3 district as it is located on an arterial roadway in an area with available commercial services. The property fronts onto Jollyville Road, a designated Activity Corridor, and is located within the 183 and McNeil Neighborhood Center. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Multifamily Residence (Medium Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of up to 36 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, generally in more centrally located areas, and in other selected areas where medium density multiple use is desirable. This tract of land is fronts onto Jollyville Road, an arterial roadway, and is located across from an existing commercial center (North Brooke Shopping Center) that contains …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0040 (New Lot) DISTRICT: 6 ADDRESS: 11833 Buckner Road ZONING FROM: SF-3 TO: GR SITE AREA: 1.33 acres (57,934.8 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Ramin Zavareh CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendation is to deny the applicant’s request for GR, Community Commercial District, zoning for this property. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 19, 2020: Postponed to June 2, 2020 at the applicant's request by consent (10-0); A. Denkler-1st, D. King-2nd. June 2, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 11, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 133B-2 ISSUES: On March 10, 2020, an Environmental Code Violation was filed for this address due to a complaint of clearing without a permit on the property. The ECV Enterprise Violation is an active red tag and the outstanding issues/fees have not been resolved (please see Exhibit C). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 1.33 acre vacant tract of land that is located on Buckner Road, a local roadway. The property to the north, across Buckner Road is undeveloped and zoned DR, Development Reserve. The tract to the south is zoned DR and contains a manufactured home and undeveloped land. The properties to the west, are also zoned DR and are developed with single family residences. The tract of land directly to the east is zoned SF-3 contains a single-family residence with outdoor storage. Further to the east, along Buckner Road, there is a lot zoned LO-CO (through case C14-2008-0199) that is developed with an office use (Time Warner Cable/Spectrum). In this request, the applicant is asking to rezone the site under consideration to the GR district to develop an automotive sales use at this location. The staff recommends denial of the applicant’s request for GR, Community Commercial District, zoning. The property does not meet the intent of the GR district as it is not located on a major roadway. While the staff has supported some commercial uses/zoning on Buckner Road, these tracts of land were located near the intersection of Buckner Road and FM 620. This proposed GR commercial zoning request is located on a designated single-family tract near the end Bucker Road, a narrow 20-foot local roadway. The property in question abuts single-family residences to the east and west. Additionally, the subject tract is located in an environmentally sensitive area adjacent to a creek where automotive uses would not be appropriate. …

To: Zoning and Platting Commission Dear Chair Kiolbassa, Vice-Chair Barrera-Ramirez, Commissioners King, Denkler, Duncan, Evans, Aguirre, Bray, Smith, and Ray, Thank you so much for your service to the city, particularly in these uncertain times for all of us. I am writing to ask for your help in problem solving the issues with the Wayne Riddell, Case Number C14-2019—0129-10801. I believe this is possible and of interest for all parties. Specifically, I would like to ask for your reconsideration of the ZAP approval of this case on May 19, 2020, so that you have time to consider additional information from staff related to flood risk in the context of climate change. My request is based on three main concerns: • The project’s proximity to Slaughter Creek and the potential impact to downstream flooding • Continued and significant community engagement in opposition. I believe all of you have the • experience to help problem solve and build more consensus I understand some public comment was challenging to hear or not heard. Reconsideration would allow those that were not heard at the public hearing an opportunity to be heard The communities of Dove Springs and Onion Creek are understandably concerned about the potential for increased downstream flooding. As a council member, I too share this concern especially considering the significant flooding and subsequent large-scale buyouts in these communities that has already occurred. We know too, climate conditions are changing, and weather events are intensifying. On August 8th, 2019 Council passed a Climate Emergency Plan, which declared a climate emergency and called for an immediate emergency mobilization to restore a safe climate. That resolution directed the City Manager to incorporate climate resilience policies into the city’s Flood Mitigation Plan. Given the location of this development, additional information and discussion with Watershed Department would be important for ZAP to help ensure that the risk of increased flooding from climate change has been sufficiently considered and mitigated. Resolution No. 20190808-078 states in part: WHEREAS, in 2014, ATMOS Research and Consulting’s Climate Change Projections for the City of Austin predicted increases in annual and seasonal average temperatures, more frequent high temperature extremes, more frequent extreme precipitation, The City Manager is directed to incorporate climate resilience policies during implementation and planned updates of the Austin Community Climate Plan, and to other City plans with climate impacts (to ensure climate change and resiliency efforts are strong, effective, and …

Item C-1 is discussion and possible action to rescind ZAP action from May 19, 2020, regarding C14-2019-0129 – 10801 Wayne Riddell Loop, located at 10801 Wayne Riddell Loop. ZAP bylaws indicate that two or more commissioners may request that a case be rescinded or amended within fourteen days of the date on which the action to be rescinded or amended was taken by the Commission. ZAP experienced significant technical issues that prevented Commissioners from hearing some public comments during the public hearing on the Wayne Riddle Loop case at the ZAP meeting on May 19, 2020. Here's a brief list of the more impactful tissues during the meeting: 1. Rebecca Howe (0:42:48 on video recording of meeting) about one-third of her comments were unintelligible due to poor sound quality. (Commissioners expressed concern and the ZAP Chair asked for her comments by email.) 2. Kevin Chaney & Jim Dew (0:48:00 on video) - Their comments were disrupted by crosstalk in the phone queue. 3.

CASE NUMBER C14-2020-0046 12182 JOLLYVILLE ROAD REZONING GOOD EVENING ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSIONERS. THIS IS DAVID SPATZ AND I AM THE MANAGER AND OWNER OF JOLLYVILLE DEVELOPMENT, LLC. I MADE THE APPLICATION TO REZONE THE ABOVE 0.79 ACRE PARCEL FROM SF-2 TO MF-3. THIS SITE IS IDEAL FOR MEDIUM DENSITY MULTI-FAMILY ZONING AND DEVELOPMENT. CONSDIDER THESE FACTS: 1. THERE IS A COMMERCIAL USE (TELECO FEDERAL CREDIT UNION) DIRECTLY NORTH. 2. DIRECTLY WEST IS MOST OF THE WATER QUALITY FIELD FOR THE CREDIT UNION AND THAT WILL NOT BE CHANGED. 3. ACROSS THE STREET ARE ALL COMMERCIAL RETAIL AND SERVICE BUSINESSES. YES, RESIDENTS OF THE TO BE BUILT COMPLEX WILL BE ABLE TO WALK TO ALMOST EVERY SERVICE INCLUDING A GROCERY STORE AND PHARMACY. 4. THERE IS A DEVELOPMENT OF DUPLEX HOMES ZONED SF-2 DIRECTLY TO THE SOUTH. 5. THERE IS METROBUS SERVICE 0.2 MILES AWAY AT JOLLYVILLE, BARRINGTON AND RESEARCH. 6. THE DEVELOPER PLANS TO USE THE SMART ZONING ALLOWANCE. THIS WILL RESULT IN AT LEAST 5 AFFORDABLE UNITS. ADDITIONALLY, SINCE THE SITE IS COMPLETELY FLAT, THE DEVELOPER EXPECTS TO BE ABLE TO BUILD TWO ACCESSIBLE UNITS TOO. 7. THE SITE HAS SEVEN MATURE OAKS TREES THAT ARE 40 FEET TALL. IN ADDTION THERE ARE MORE MATURE OAK TREES BETWEEN THE JOLLYVILLE PROPERTY AND CHELSEA MANOR AND OTHER SURROUNDING STREETS. 8. A THREE-STORY APARTMENT BUILDING IS LIKELY 30-32 FEET TALL AND IN NO WAY LOOKS OVER SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. 9. THIS LOCATION HAS A WALK SCORE IN THE MID SEVENTIES. THAT MEANS THAT MOST ERANDS CAN BE DONE BY WALKING AND THE LOCATION IS VERY WALKABLE. 10. THIS LOCATION HAS A BIKE SCORE IN THE EIGHTIES. THAT MEANS THAT THE LOCATION 11. THE TRANSIT SCORE IS 40 AND VERY CONVENIENT FOR METROBUS. AS STATED EARLIER IS VERY BIKEABLE. 0.2 MILES AWAY. 12. JOLLYVILLE ROAD HAS A TRAFFIC LANE IN EACH DIRECTION, A CENTER TURN LANE AND BIKE LANES IN EACH DIRECTION. 13. THERE IS A LIBRARY 1.1 MILE AWAY AND GREAT HILLS PARK IS 1.4 MILES AWAY I REPEAT, THIS SITE IS IDEAL FOR MEDIUM DENSITY FOR MF-3 MULTI-DAMILY ZONING, CONSTRUCTION AND LIVING. I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND APPROVAL. THANK YOU.

WE MOVED HERE IN 2009 AND HAVE SINCE UH, ADDED TO OUR FAMILY, UH, SIX GRANDCHILDREN, CHILDREN WHO'VE COME HERE TO PLAY IN THE PARK AND TO SWIM IN THE POOL AND TO RIDE BIKES ALONG THE STREET, WHICH RIGHT NOW ARE PRETTY SAFE. UM, OUR, OUR CONCERN IS THE OPENING OF WAYNE RYEDALE LOOP AND THE INCREASED TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING TO COME FROM THAT. OUR STREET, UH, NO, NO DRIVEWAYS BACK OUT ONTO WAYNE RYEDALE LOOP. AND FOR THAT REASON, UH, THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35 OR 45 IF YOU CAN DO IT. AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE, ALMOST ALL THE ONES THAT LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DON'T DRIVE THE 35, BUT THAT'S, THAT'S EVEN TOO FAST. BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE HERE. IF, IF WE HAVE A CUT THROUGH, IT'S GOING TO BE TERRIBLE. AND I KNOW THAT BECAUSE EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS THEM ENDS UP COMPLAINING JUST LIKE THE MEADOWS DEAD.

Your willingness to give this case more thought demonstrates a level of public service beyond what we could have asked. When I got word that Commissioners King and Duncan were bringing this item up to rectify the flaws of the public hearing that occurred, I felt proud to be a resident of Austin. We are living in interesting times, and we are trying to do the best we can. Sometimes that involves recognizing when our systems have failed and attempting to make it right. Throughout the night, the public hearing was hindered with technical difficulties and indiscernible audio. Each one of the speakers took the time to provide testimony they wanted heard, and the inability to hear them deprived the Zoning and Platting Commission with the information they intended to convey. All of that testimony--by definition--would be new information, because you haven’t heard it. No matter what level of review this case receives, we are continuing to explore possible paths towards resolution. The letter from Council Member Kitchen was nice, because it emphasized the need to take the time to work together. We spent an hour today with the Austin Transportation Department to explore what traffic solutions might be available in the area. New information to us today was that the applicant’s proposed traffic calming solutions would likely not be considered viable by ATD. We also learned that it would be feasible for the Zoning and Platting Commission and/or Council to condition/phase the connection of the roadway’s extension on a triggering event. (For example, the extension could be made a “Healthy Street”, until such time that the intersection at 1626 and Wayne Riddell Loop is improved.) There are more options available. We just need the time to explore them. On a final …

The southern tract is 3.495 acres and is zoned GO and LI. The property is undeveloped. The northern tract is 1.541 acres and zoned LI. This tract is also undeveloped.

CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on east side of Dessau Road approximately 1/3-mile north of Rundberg Lane. The GR property is undeveloped and surrounded by Cameron Business Park, an industrial park occupied by a variety of commercial and limited industrial land uses. Tenants include medical equipment sales, custom manufacturing, and other uses. The industrial park is zoned LI and LI-CO. South of the rezoning property is land zoned GO-CO that is developed with religious assembly land use and land zoned LI-CO that is developed with another industrial park. Further south are properties zoned LR-CO, SF-3, LO and LI. Land uses on these properties include undeveloped, single family residential, religious assembly and commercial services. Further east is property outside Austin city limits that is developed with a mix of limited industrial uses along Brown Lane. To the north is I-RR land that is partially undeveloped and partially occupied by religious assembly land use. Further north is property that was rezoned from LI to MF-4 in 2018; the property has not yet been developed with multifamily land use. Across Dessau Road to the west is the Windsor Hills residential neighborhood which is zoned SF-3-NP. (Please see Exhibit A - Zoning Map). Staff supports the zoning request. LI zoning would allow the property to be developed with uses like the adjacent LI and LI-CO properties.

Suttle, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff’s recommendation is to grant GR-MU-V, Community Commercial-Mixed Use- Vertical Mixed Use Building Combining District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 19, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 19B-04 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 3+ acre parcel of land located between the U.S. Highway 183 (Research Boulevard) frontage road to the east and Jollyville Road to the west. The site is currently developed with a financial services use. The applicant is requesting a rezoning from GR and LO zoning to GR-MU-V zoning to redevelop the property with a mixed use project with multifamily and retail uses (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends GR-MU-V, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Vertical Mixed Use Building Combining District, zoning as the property meets the intent of the zoning district purpose statement as described by the Code. The site under consideration is surrounded by multifamily, office and commercial uses/zoning to the north, south, east, and west. This tract of land fronts and takes access to an arterial roadway, Jollyville Road, and to the northbound service road for U.S. Highway 183 North. The property is located within a Future Core Transit Corridor, is on the Jollyville Activity Corridor and is within the North Burnet/ Gateway Regional Center as designated in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Community Commercial district is intended for office and commercial uses serving neighborhood and community needs, including both unified shopping centers and individually developed commercial sites, and typically requiring locations accessible from major traffic ways. The purpose of a mixed use (MU) combining district is to allow office, retail, commercial, and residential uses to be combined in a single development. The purpose of a vertical mixed use (VMU) overlay district is to allow the development of vertical mixed use (VMU) …

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 19, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-05Part 1 1 of 60 C14-2020-0040 ISSUES: 2 On March 10, 2020, an Environmental Code Violation was filed for this address due to a complaint of clearing without a permit on the property. The ECV Enterprise Violation is an active red tag and the outstanding issues/fees have not been resolved (please see Exhibit C). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 1.33 acre vacant tract of land that is located on Buckner Road, a 20 foot wide local roadway. The property to the north, across Buckner Road is undeveloped and zoned DR, Development Reserve. The tract to the south is zoned DR and contains a manufactured home and undeveloped land. The properties to the west, are also zoned DR and are developed with single family residences. The tract of land directly to the east is zoned SF-3 contains a single-family residence with outdoor storage. Further to the east, along Buckner Road, there is a lot zoned LO-CO (through case C14-2008-0199) that is developed with an office use (Time Warner Cable/Spectrum). In this request, the applicant is asking to rezone the site under consideration to the GR district to develop an automotive sales use at this location. The staff recommends denial of the applicant’s request for GR, Community Commercial District, zoning. The property does not meet the intent of the GR district as it is not located on a major roadway. While the staff has supported some commercial uses/zoning on Buckner Road, these tracts of land were located near the intersection of Buckner Road and FM 620. This proposed GR commercial zoning request is located on a designated single-family tract near the end Bucker Road, a narrow 20-foot local roadway. The property in question abuts single-family residences to the east and west. Additionally, the subject tract is located in an environmentally sensitive area adjacent to a creek where automotive uses would not be appropriate. The existing SF-3 zoning provides for a transition from the commercial zoning at the intersection …
