Flooding and runoff are big reasons to vote against the Riddell Apartment complex on South First across from Akins High School Submitted by Karen Hadden The runoff from this complex could impact water quality and increase flooding downstream along Onion Creek. The applicant will not do a stormwater impact study before this project is considered by the Zoning Board or Council. Although the city has passed a series of resolutions requiring city departments to consider climate change in their operations, the change in predicted rainfall and flooding due to climate is not being considered. The Climate Emergency Resolution calls for the City Manager to identify “innovative policy approaches to address the climate crisis’s causes as well as mitigation strategies, including the promotion of natural systems, green infrastructure, anc carbon sequestration, the role of tree planting as a carbon offsetting strategy: public cooling spaces to combat heat waves; and updated information about the heat island effect in Austin and strategies to mitigate this effort.” This and other applications should provide information on how the project will address these goals. The city bought out 956 homes along Onion Creek- between 1999- and 2018 at a price of $45 million and the potential flooding impacts for this project need to be re-examined. According to climate change projections from a study Commissioned by the City of Austin, Dr. Katharine Hayhoe notes that “Heavy precipitation, measured in terms of days per year with more than 2 inches of rain and the amount of rainfall during the 5 consecutive wettest days of the year, is expected to increase.” They applicant will use new higher 100-year rainfall projections from the Atlas 14 study that project worst case rainfall amounts of a 14 foot rise in our creek, Slaughter Creek, in a 24 hour period, but we have seen a 16 foot rise in the 2013 flood. Their study won’t include the cumulative impacts from more than two dozen newly built or planned apartment projects that will add large amounts of runoff into Slaughter Creek, which feeds into Onion Creek The chart below shows that Slaughter Creek can increase from less than 1 cubic foot/ second to 40 cubic feet/ second in minutes with a 4” rain. We’d like to ask ZAP to require the developer to: 1. Reduce the zoning to MF-2 or MF-3 to reduce the run off. 2. Use pervious pavers. 3. Collect rainfall from …
From: James Patterson Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2020 12:51 PM To: Rivera, Andrew <Andrew.Rivera@austintexas.gov> Cc: Subject: Memo for ZAP Commissioners re: Proposed Apartment Complex across From Akins HS *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dr Mr. Rivera, I would appreciate it greatly if you would print this email and pass to the Zoning and Planning Commissioners. I will be calling in to today’s meeting to comment as well. The Onion Creek Homeowners Association opposes any construction that will generate additional runoff water into Slaughter and/or Onion Creek. Onion Creek is a subdivision located on Interstate 35 due East of Akins High School. We have suffered through two major flood events in 2013 and 2015. As a result, the City of Austin has initiated a buyout of 138 homes in the subdivision. The subdivision is essentially bounded by Slaughter Creek on the North, and Onion Creek on the South and East. There are approximately 30 homes not currently in the buyout with their backyard property line on that part of Slaughter Creek before the creek turns North and flows into Onion Creek at a point approximately 1000 feet North of the Onion Creek subdivision. There are additional homes adjacent to Slaughter Creek but without a property line abutting Slaughter Creek which could still be affected by flooding of Slaughter Creek. Any additional flow into Slaughter Creek will also negatively impact the capacity of Onion Creek to accommodate the flood water from the Onion Creek watershed, further exacerbating the flooding of residential property by both Slaughter and Onion Creeks. It is my understanding that the applicant has planned to accommodate a “two year flood“. This is in our view dramatically insufficient to handle the frequency and magnitude of the floods such as those experienced here in the Onion Creek subdivision in 2013 and 2015, even if that 2 year flood measure would comply with City of Austin requirements. Unless there are additional measures taken in order to insure the amount of runoff water into Slaughter Creek will not increase, the Onion Creek Homeowners is opposed to the construction of the proposed apartment complex. Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully submitted, Jerry Patterson Vice President, Onion Creek Homeowners Association 512‐740‐5650 cell

I have officed at this location for the better of 30 years and am very familiar with all the adjacent businesses on Buckner Road and at 10208 RR620 complex, (i.e. MotorMania, Don’s Classic Cars, Wolf Auto, Pro Automotive, MC Tires, DJ Garage, Time Warner, Kindred Services, Magic Touch Auto, Austin Auto Emporium, Austin Motor Sports, Cascade Custom Pools, Beels Signs and Designs, Venture Underground, Sport Court, etc) and a new Volvo dealer going in soon. These are very much daily working businesses, not storage, not warehouses. Buckner Road is currently comprised of businesses including the Cabinet Shop, right next to the property in question, along with an A/C Company, Kindred Services, on the other side of the property. I am in favor of rezoning to commercial vs residential due to the fact there are already a majority of businesses.

ZAP Q & A Report B1 Commissioner Aguirre: 1. What is the Akins HS Principal’s response to the applicant’s correspondence dated 5-13-2020? RESPONSE: At this time, Staff has not received a response from the Akins HS Principal related to the Applicant's May 13th correspondence. 2. What are the assigned zones of the immediate surrounding areas of other AISD high schools? RESPONSE: At McCallum HS located at 1301 W Koenig Lane, the school is zoned SF-3-NP and occupies its own block, but is adjacent to GR-MU-CO-NP to the north; P-NP (a City water plant), MF-3-NP, SF-6-NP and SF-3-NP to the east, SF-3-NP to the south, and MF-6-CO-NP and CS-MU-CO-NP to the west. At Bowie High School located at 4013 W Slaughter Lane, the school is zoned I-RR and adjacent to GR- MU-CO to the north; I-RR zoned property to the east (a church), SF-2 and SF-2-CO zoned property to the south, and SF-2 to the west. At Crockett HS located at 5601 Menchaca Rd, the school is zoned SF-3-NP and is surrounded by GR-V- NP, GR-NP, LO-V-NP and LO-NP to the north, PUD-NP (condominiums) to the east, P-NP (a City park) to the south, and SF-2-NP and GR-NP to the west. At LBJ HS located at 7309 Lazy Creek Drive, there is SF-3 and I-SF-4A to the north, SF-3 and SF-2 to the east, SF-3, SF-2-CO and GR-MU to the south, and SF-3 to the west. 3. There is an indication (Pg. 29 in backup) that the area where 60 ft. height would be allowed includes the flood plain area. Is that correct? RESPONSE: The 60' height limit would be allowed by zoning, but not by the floodplain regulations which are more restrictive and therefore would take precedence at the time a site plan is submitted. 4. Previously, regarding other development projects, there have been concerns on the impact new development will have as it relates to adverse impact (flooding) downstream. How is the WPD engaged in the cumulative impact development projects have on Onion Creek flooding downstream? What feedback has WPD provided specific to this project? RESPONSE: WPD Floodplain staff provided a response to this question and is provided in Part 1, page 25 of the backup.

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The Pioneer Crossing Planned Unit Development (PUD) was approved by Council in 1997. On October 17, 2019, the City Council approved the 14th amendment to the PUD through Ordinance No. 20191017-064. The 14th amendment inadvertently omitted the following language in Part 7(C)(6) of the original PUD ordinance: [or those improvements that may be otherwise required by the City of Austin or specifically authorized under this ordinance.] The accidental omission of this language limits the types of improvements the City may require near an open waterway with upstream drainage. Therefore, the staff placed an item on the February 18, 2020 Zoning and Platting Commission agenda to request that the Commission initiate this new PUD amendment case to rezone the property to reinsert that language. This case is a result of the ZAP Commission rezoning initiation. 1 1 of 38B-02 EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: ZONING Site North County, I-SF-4A PUD South East West LI-PDA, PUD (Pioneer Crossing PUD) PUD (Pioneer Crossing PUD), County, W/LO County LAND USES Undeveloped Undeveloped, Single Family Residences, Single Family Residential Subdivision (Cantarra Meadow) Samsung Manufacturing, Undeveloped Tracts Undeveloped (Farmland), Manufactured Housing Subdivision (River Ranch), Single Family Residences, Stables (Rocking B Stables) Undeveloped TIA: Not Required HILL COUNTRY ROADWAY: No AREA STUDY: N/A WATERSHED: Harris Branch CAPITOL VIEW CORRIDOR: No NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Neighborhoods Council Bike Austin Friends of Austin Neighborhoods Harris Branch Residential Property Owners Association Homeless Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation North Gate Neighborhood Association North Growth Corridor Alliance Pflugerville Independent School District SELTEXAS Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group AREA CASE HISTORIES: NUMBER C814-96-0003.15 (Pioneer Crossing PUD Amendment #15: 10930 Defender Trail, Sprinkle Cut Off Road and Samsung Boulevard, Samsung Boulevard and East Braker Lane) REQUEST PUD to PUD: The applicant is requesting a 15th amendment to the Pioneer Crossing PUD to address the interpretation of Part 13 of the original PUD ordinance (Ordinance No. 970410-I), that states the following: COMMISSION 10/03/19: Approved the staff’s rec. for …

Suttle, Jr.) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MF-2, Multifamily Residence-Low Density District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 31, 2020: Meeting canceled. May 5, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: April 23, 2020: Postponed to June 4, 2020 at the staff’s request by consent (11-0). ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 19B-03 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question consists of three parcels that are currently developed with two single-family residences that access North FM 620 Road. To the north, there is a commercial retail center (Plaza Volente: HEB, Panda Express, Starbucks Coffee, Chase Bank, etc.). The tract of land to the south contains a vacant Construction Sales and Services use and an undeveloped area. To the east, there are single family residences located along Antler Lane (Oak Deer Park Subdivision). The properties to west, across FM 620, are developed with a Convenience Storage use (U-Haul) and an Outdoor Recreation use (Woodland Green’s Golf Center). The applicants in this case are requesting to rezone the property to MF-2 zoning and are proposing to construct approximately 120 multifamily residential units on the site (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff supports the applicant’s request for MF-2, Multifamily Residence-Low Density District, zoning. The property meets the intent of the MF-2 zoning district designation as it will provide a transition from the single family uses to the east to the commercial uses fronting FM 620 to the west. The property takes access to an arterial roadway, North FM 620 Road, and is located adjacent to commercial uses/services to the north and west. The proposed zoning will provide for a mixture of 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 (Low Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of up to 23 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near single-family neighborhoods, and in selected areas where …
