For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 18, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 10, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject undeveloped tract is located at the terminus of Damon Road on a platted, unbuilt cul de sac, and zoned development reserve (DR) district. Damon Road contains several single family residences on standard lots zoned DR upon annexation in the mid-1980s. There are large tracts to the north that have frontage on Albert Road (DR) and a condominium development under construction to the south which takes its primary access to Dittmar Road further south (SF-6-CO). The Union Pacific Railroad tracks border this property to the west. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial Exhibit) and B (Adjoining Subdivision Plat). The Applicant has requested family residence (SF-3) district zoning in order to build two residences on the property. 1 of 13B-4 C14-2021-0035 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. The requested SF-3 zoning would allow for two residences on the property. Staff recommends the Applicant’s request because the tract meets the intent of the SF-3 district as it fronts on a local residential street and is located within an existing single family residential neighborhood. EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USES: Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. ZONING LAND USES DR Site North DR South East …

If approved, the RCA would allow residential land uses and eliminate some vehicular access restrictions. The Applicant has stated that they intend to develop the property utilizing Affordability Unlocked. Granting of the GR-MU request does not obligate the Applicant to use Affordability Unlocked. Please see Exhibit C- Applicant Letter. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the east side of Ed Bluestein Boulevard between Loyola Lane and Manor Road, slightly south of Purple Sage Drive. Most of the undeveloped property is zoned GR (8.27 acres), while a small strip along the northern boundary is zoned SF-3 (0.99 acres).

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-famil y 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).

SUBDIVISION REVIEW SHEET CASE NO.: C8-2019-0052.0A PC DATE: May 18, 2021 SUBDIVISION NAME: Gibson’s Grotto AREA: 12,690 sf LOTS: 2 OWNER/APPLICANT: Austin APG Properties, Glenn Gibson AGENT: Perales Engineering LLC, Jerry Perales ADDRESS OF SUBDIVISION: 4703 CLAWSON RD COUNTY: Travis WATERSHED: Williamson Creek JURISDICTION: Full Purpose ZONING: SF-4A, SF-4A-CO DISTRICT: 5 VARIANCE: flag lot variance SIDEWALKS: Sidewalks will be constructed along all internal streets. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The request is for the approval of the resubdivision of Lot 18, Block A of Park Forrest, section 6, comprised of two lots on 12,690 sf, with a flag lot variance. This application was submitted on May 15, 2019 and has not expired because subdivision deadlines have been suspended until December 31, 2021 (Order No. 20200815-019). Because this plat was submitted under the regulations in effect prior to HB3167, it requires a public hearing and a commission variance for the flag lot. The flag lot variance complies with the criteria of approval in LDC 25-4- 175(A) because all reviewers have approved the plat and the driveway/utility plan, it is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood because it is located in a single family residential neighborhood and can be developed with a single family house, and staff is not aware of any private deed restrictions. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommends approval of the plat. With the variance, the plat meets all applicable State and City of Austin Land Development Code requirements.
