The Dead Dog Caves are a cluster of 6 known caves formed in Edwards Limestone and are part of the vadose zone of the Edwards Aquifer. Two of the caves are known to be comparatively extensive for the area, one of them has a perennially flowing waterfall and cave pool, and both are known to contain cave invertebrates. (Russell 2018, Reddell & Russell 1961, Fieseler 1972, Dean 2016, Reddell 1969) Historically, all 6 cave entrances have been filled in. Several attempts were made at sealing Dead Dog Cave No. 2; by blasting, and filling it with rock, dirt, and debris, but it has a history of reopening itself. Dead Dog Cave most recently began reopening sometime prior to 2015, and today the first room of the cave is once again accessible. (Russell 2018, Reddell & Russell 1961, Fiesler 1976) The caves are primarily located under, or near to, …

Zoning and Platting Commission Q & A Report B-02 C14-2021-0100 - Luby's Site Question Commissioner Denkler/ Response in blue. Does the Luby's site have to comply with current code requirements? Yes Pending Can Housing tell us what the rent maximums would be for an efficiency, a 1- bedroom or a 2- bedroom unit on the site for 2021 year? A representative of one of the neighborhood associations has complained the applicant is not using Flood Pro to model the site's drainage. Does the applicant have to use Flood Pro or can other modeling methods be approved? I reached out to Watershed Engineering Division staff and learned the following: The Applicant should definitely should be using the City’s effective floodplain model for the portion of the site impacted by Onion Creek that is available from our FloodPro website. The site is also impacted by an unnamed tributary to Onion Creek that is not currently studied (see attached map). The floodplain shown along this tributary in the current floodplain mapping is water that backs up from Onion Creek. Watershed Engineering Division staff is currently re-studying the Onion Creek watershed to incorporate Atlas 14 rainfall. This will include a study of the stream that runs through the site in question. Unfortunately, it will be at least 8 months before Watershed Engineering Division staff has an updated Onion Creek model and a new model for the unstudied tributary. In the interim, the Applicant should be using the 500-year floodplain from our regulatory Onion Creek model and performing their own study to delineate the regulatory floodplains for the unstudied tributary (since it has more than 64 acres of drainage their site). If the Applicant submits for site plan, they will need to have completed their own floodplain study of the unnamed tributary and consider the combination of the tributary and Onion Creek floodplains. Why does the applicant not have to plat? The Applicant isn’t required to plat because the configuration of the property hasn’t changed since annexation into the City limits and is eligible to receive City utility services. Review of environmental, drainage and utilities will occur with the site plan application. Has this part of the watershed been mapped for Atlas. The model has not yet been updated to include Atlas-14 rainfall. The City’s Watershed Engineering Division is in the process of performing a study update for Onion Creek, However it will be several …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2021-0105 – Wynne Lane Rezoning ZONING FROM: SF-2 ADDRESS: 7702 Wynne Lane PROPERTY OWNER: R. Scott Schaefer DISTRICT: 5 TO: SF-3 SITE AREA: 0.42 acres (18,295 square feet) AGENT: Thrower Design, LLC (Victoria Haase) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant family residence (SF-3) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 3, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 3, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject lot is within the Brownleaf Estates subdivision and contains a single family residence. Brownleaf Estates and Greenleaf Estates, the adjacent subdivision to the south, 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. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial Exhibit) and B (Recorded Plat). The Applicant has requested family residence (SF-3) district zoning in order to build an accessory dwelling unit on the west portion of the property. The existing residence would be retained. 1 of 10B-2 C14-2021-0105 Page 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 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. A duplex use that is designated in an SF-3 district is subject to development standards that maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. 2. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. 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 several existing SF-2 and SF-3 zoned properties located to the north, south and east that are currently developed with single family residential uses. In addition, many of the manufactured homes located along Wynne …

August 3, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 15B-3 C14-2021-0003 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is undeveloped and moderately vegetated. There is floodplain along the eastern portion of the tract (please see Aerial Map – Exhibit B). The site is located to the northwest of Lakeline Mall on South Lakeline Boulevard. The front portion of this property is within the City of Austin and takes access to S. Lakeline Boulevard. The rear portion of this tract of land is within the City of Cedar Park’s jurisdiction and has access of off West Rivera Circle, a residential collector street. There is undeveloped land and a single-family residential neighborhood to the north. To the east of this site, along Lakeline Boulevard, there is a floodplain area and a multifamily use/apartment complex (The Park at Lakeline). To the west there is an undeveloped lot within the City of Cedar Park. The parcel to the south, across S. Lakeline Boulevard, zoned P and is parkland (Lakeline Neighborhood Park). The applicant is requesting Community Commercial zoning for this tract of land so that they may develop automotive uses on the property. The staff recommends GR, Community Commercial District, zoning. The property meets the purpose statement of the Community Commercial district as it is located on an arterial roadway and will provide services to the surrounding community. The site under consideration has constraints as only a corner (western portion) of this property is developable because of floodplain. The applicant is proposing PD zoning with an office concept plan for the portion of this …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2021-0080 (Techridge 2) DISTRICT: 7 ADDRESS: 13100 1/2 -13200 1/2 Mc Callen Pass; 13200-13300 Center Lake Drive ZONING FROM: LI-PDA TO: LI-PDA SITE AREA: 13.510 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Centerstate 99, Ltd., TECHRIDGE PLD 2019 LP AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, L.L.P. (Amanda Morrow) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff’s recommendation is to grant LI-PDA, Limited Industrial Planned Development Area District zoning, to change a condition of zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July July 20, 2021: Approved staff's request for postponement to August 3, 2021 by consent (9-0, J. Kiolbassa and E. Ray-absent ); H. Smith-1st, C. Acosta-2nd. August 3, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: August 26, 2021 ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 169B-4 2 ISSUES: In this rezoning request, the applicant is asking to take a 3.858 acre portion of land out of the Dell-Parmer North Development LI-PDA zoned property (approved through Ordinance No. 980430-P – please see Exhibit D) between Parmer Lane and Howard Lane and move it to the Parmer Center Development (“Tech Ridge”) LI-PDA zoned property (approved through Ordinance No. 990602-92 – please see Exhibit E) to the northwest. In addition, the applicant would like to remove the density limitation for multi-family housing for this property (a portion of Lot 3, Block "A", Tech Ridge Section 2 and a portion of Lot 2B, Resubdivision of Lot 2, Block "A", Tech Ridge Section 2) in the Parmer Center PDA (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). This request can be handled as one zoning case as long as the removal of land from the Dell- Parmer North Development PDA does not affect the site development regulations or impact a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) for the Dell PDA. After reading the Parmer Center Development PDA and the Dell-Parmer North Development PDA ordinances/restrictive covenant, the staff understands that the Dell-Parmer North Development PDA does not have a TIA. Therefore, the removal of the property from the Dell LI-PDA zoning does not negatively impact that PDA agreement. Please see the TIA Compliance Letter that was submitted to ATD for review (please see Exhibit F). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently an undeveloped 13.510-acre parcel located at the northwest corner of McCallum Pass and Center Lake Drive. The land surrounding this site to the north, south, east and west is zoned LI-PDA. The lot to the east contains a …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: MF-6 DISTRICT: 10 CASE: C14-2021-0100 (Luby’s Site) ADDRESS: 8176 North MoPac Expressway ZONING FROM: LR SITE AREA: 2.38 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Luby's Fuddruckers Restaurants, LLC (Bill Gordon) AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Michael Whellan) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MF-6, Multifamily Residence-Highest Density district, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 3, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 21B-5 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 2.38 acre lot that contains a restaurant use (Luby’s Cafeteria) located on the southwest corner of the Mopac Expressway Service Road and Steck Avenue. The tracts of land to the north and south are zoned LO/LR and are developed with office complexes. To the east is a highway, North MoPac Expressway. The lot to the west is developed with a multifamily use (La Montreaux Apartments). In this application, the applicant is requesting to rezone this property from LR, Neighborhood Commercial district, zoning to MF-6, Multifamily Residence-Highest Density district, zoning to redevelop this site with a 275-unit multifamily apartment complex, which would include 10 percent of total units (28 units) available as long-term Affordable housing units at 80 percent of Median Family Income (MFI) (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends MF-6, Multifamily Residence-Highest Density district, zoning because the site under consideration meets this intent of the MF-6 district as it is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of an arterial roadway, Steck Avenue, and a highway, North MoPac Expressway and is near a designated ‘Neighborhood Activity Center’ in the Image Austin Comprehensive Plan. The proposed MF-6 zoning would be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses because this property is adjacent to office and commercial zoning to the north and south and multifamily zoning to the west. The surrounding zoning permits office and commercial services that can be utilized by the residents of this proposed residential development. MF-6 district zoning will provide for additional housing opportunities in this area of the city. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Multifamily Residence (Highest Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily and group residential use. This district is appropriate for highest density housing in centrally located areas near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, …

I am not able to attend the hearing but would like to register my objection to this rezoning application. I have lived at 8228 Summer Place Drive for over 30 years and am aware of the traffic patterns and problems surrounding the property at 8176 N. Mopac Expressway SVRD SB. I feel re-zoning this property from LR (Neighborhood Commercial district) to MF-6 (Multifamily Residence (Highest Density)) is inappropriate. I want to thank the Zoning and Platting Commission for soliciting input from residents within the area. I think this is a wise and important step in the evaluation process. In conclusion, I object to the rezoning and want to urge the Zoning and Platting Commission to deny the request. Respectfully yours, Mark Walsh 8228 Summer Place Dr. Austin, Tx, 78759 Daytime telephone: 512-343-1414 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

I believe that a combination of decreased business for Luby’s and diminished traffic due to the pandemic have caused a false picture of traffic conditions in the area. I have been familiar with this area for 33 years. Ingress and egress at this property have always been extremely problematic. My first point: when Luby’s was a “going” business, people going west on Steck would turn left across eastbound traffic to enter the parking lot. This caused long and frustrating waits for people in the cars behind them. A densely populated apartment house will once again make this a problem. Second, at peak times one can wait through 2 traffic lights in the left lane when headed east on …
Zoning and Platting Commission Q & A Report B-06 C14-2021-0100 - Luby's Site; District 10 Commissioner Thompson: A quick internet search indicated that this property falls within the habitat map for karst invertebrates within the BCP. We’ve also received some materials suggesting historical presence of karst invertebrates in the Dead Dog cave beneath the property. What are the requirements to survey and mitigate for impacts to listed karst invertebrates within the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve? Staff Response: to authorities for certain projects per LDC 25-8-691 through 25-8-696. The applicant will need to work with appropriate authorities, either in the BCP or Fish and Wildlife, to ensure compliance with the Endangered Species Act. WPD staff will review the project for compliance with Critical Environmental Feature requirements per 25-8-281 when a site plan is submitted. Commissioner Denkler / Applicant response in red: Has the applicant or property owner had any discussions with the city regarding the affordable housing? Because the applicant is not seeking VMU overlay and is not in a regulating plan or downtown, there is no City program tied to rezoning that requires affordable housing and the City cannot independently require affordability. Instead, the applicant has voluntarily offered to provide income-restricted units for 40 years. Is the applicant using any government or private financing to finance or build the 28 units? (Application says they are not proposing Smart Housing.) The applicant has not indicated that there are any government subsidies associated with the redevelopment and instead has indicated that these Affordable Units would be privately financed. Are the 28 units proposed as rental units or for purchase and for how long? How would the city guarantee this, through a contract or public restrictive covenant? The applicant has indicated that the redevelopment will be for rental units and that 10% of the units would remain affordable for 40 years. Because the City cannot require affordability in this case, the applicant has indicated that it will be entering private restrictive covenants with NWACA (neighborhood association) and HomeBase (Habitat affiliate).

For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 20, 2021: June 15, 2021: APPROVED A POSTPONEMENT REQUEST BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO JULY 20, 2021 [D. KING; H. SMITH – 2ND] (11-0) CITY COUNCIL ACTION: August 26, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject platted lot is located on Drew Lane, contains one single family residence and is zoned development reserve (DR) district. There are single family residences and manufactured homes to the north (SF-2); a two-family residence and single family residences on large lots to the east (SF-3-CO; SF-2; I-SF-2); single family residences and duplexes across Drew Lane to the south (County); and single family residences on large lots to the west (SF-2). The Bauerle Ranch subdivision is further west near the terminus of Drew Lane (SF-2-CO). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial Exhibit) and B (Recorded Plat). 1 of 22B-01 C14-2021-0089 Page 2 The Applicant has requested family residence (SF-3) district zoning in order to build up to 18 single family residences on the property.

(Sufian Emmar) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant commercial – liquor sales (CS-1) district zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 20, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: August 26, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is a 2,003 square foot unoccupied lease space in a larger commercial building under construction and zoned neighborhood commercial – conditional overlay (LR-CO) by a 1998 case. The commercial development situated at the northeast corner of West Gate Boulevard and Davis Lane has driveways to both streets, and contains recently opened food sales and service station uses. There is a gas pipeline easement and apartments under construction to the north (P; MF-2-CO), single family residences to the east (SF-2), detached condominiums and Cowan Elementary School across Davis Lane to the south (SF-6-CO; RR), and undeveloped land across West Gate Boulevard to the west (LR- CO). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial View). The Applicant proposes commercial – liquor sales (CS-1) district zoning in order to occupy the lease space with a liquor store use. 1 of 13B-3 C14-2021-0095 Page 2 As information, AISD’s Cowan Elementary School is approximately 370 feet to the south, as measured from the southwest property corner at the West Gate / Davis intersection to the northwest corner of Kentish Drive which is part of the school property. City Code and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code prohibit liquor sales use within 300 feet of a church, public school, public hospital, day care or child care facility, and the proposed rezoning area meets this requirement. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The proposed zoning should allow for a reasonable use of the property. The commercial – liquor sales (CS-1) zoning district is intended for commercial and industrial activities of a service nature which typically have operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments, and specifically includes liquor sales as a permitted use. 2. Staff recommends the Applicant’s request based on the property’s access …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2021-0096 (Rezoning of 8500 Bluegrass Dr) DISTRICT: 10 ADDRESS: 8500 Bluegrass Drive ZONING FROM: LR TO: SF-2 SITE AREA: 2.0447 acres PROPERTY OWNERS: Ken Schiller and Steve and Ivete Stowers AGENT: City of Austin - Housing and Planning Department 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: July 20, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 18B-6 C14-2021-0096 2 ISSUES: The property owners currently have one house on Lot 1-A and a second house on Lot 2- A. They do not plan to add any more houses to the property. Because of the location of the original Lot 8, that abutted both of their lots (please see Exhibit C), the owners re-subdivided the lots incorporating the property at 8500 Bluegrass Drive (the 2.0447 acre LR zoned portion) into Lot 1-A and Lot 2-A through subdivision case C8-2019-0196.0A. Therefore, this property is now part of Lot 1-A and part of Lot 2-A Block A, Great Hills Phase B according to Document No. 202000083 (please see Exhibit D). On March 17, 2020, the owners filed a rezoning case to downzone the 2.0447 acre area from LR to SF-2 as this area was now part of their single-family residential lots. The case was heard by the Zoning and Platting Commission on June 16, 2020 and the Commission approved the staff's recommendation of SF-2 zoning by consent (10-0, Commissioner A. Denkler-absent). The case proceeded to the City Council on August 27, 2020 and the Council approved SF-2 zoning on 1st reading only (6-5, Councilmembers P. Ellis, N. Harper-Madison, G. Casar, J. Flannigan and P. Renteria-No). After first reading, Councilmember Flannigan expressed that he wished that the rezoning request had been for LR-MU, instead of SF-2. Many of the Council members were not supportive of SF-2 zoning at this location and indicated that they were looking for a higher residential district or a mixed-use district to allow for more units in this area. On September 17, 2020, the case was heard at City Council for 2nd/3rd readings. The City Council denied the rezoning request by a vote of (5-6, with Council Members Garza, Flannigan, Casar, Ellis, Renteria and Harper-Madison - voting ‘No”). Therefore, the case failed and the property remains zoned as the LR, Neighborhood Commercial, district. Per LDC Sec. 25-2-247 - RESTRICTIONS ON …
