Zoning and Platting Commission FY 2021 Budget Recommendations (Draft) As the City of Austin considers its FY 2021 budget, the Zoning and Platting Commission (ZAP) urges City Council Members to consider how to embed equity in our city’s spending. We stand firmly against racism, historic and ongoing, that continues to define access and opportunity in our city. Along with countless community voices, ZAP calls upon Council to adopt a budget that takes a wholistic approach to public safety. ZAP emphasizes that our community’s health is not measured by the effectiveness of law enforcement, but in the quality of our services, planning, and housing. Our service as ZAP commissioners grants us insight into investments that promote equitable outcomes. Deeply troubled by the legacies and realities of racism in our city, ZAP strongly recommends the following: • Additional funding for Neighborhood Housing and Community Development, including: o Programs that prevent and mitigate displacement which disproportionately impacts o Preservation and creation of more affordable housing across Austin, including in o Additional support for paths to homeownership, critical to addressing our racial communities of color high-opportunity areas wealth gap • Additional funding for Planning and Zoning, including: o Dedicated outreach with communities of color to involve historically excluded groups in planning processes o Additional capacity for Boards and Commissions, to ensure staff and commissioners can thoroughly review cases and consult with community stakeholders o Additional support for small area planning that secures a community voice in shaping how our neighborhoods grow and change • Additional funding for Economic Development, including: o Support for commercial affordability programs that provide capital and technical assistance to minority and women-owned businesses o Support for arts and cultural heritage programming that preserves and celebrates the creative contributions of communities of color o Support for workforce development programs that amplify opportunities and build skills among low-income and minority job seekers • Across all City of Austin departments: o Dedicated resources for public engagement that seeks out and lifts up marginalized o voices Improved digital community engagement that promotes equitable and inclusive participation in public meetings o Equitable allocation of all budgets, services, bonds, and capital investments to communities of color in Austin.
Planning in Austin: The Lillie Legacy Richard Ransom Lillie 21 October 1930 -22 June 2020 Born: Merrill, Wisconsin Military: US Navy, 1950-54 College: University of Texas, 1955-58 Georgia Tech, 1961-63 In Memoriam It was on a hot August afternoon in Austin in 1961 when I first met Dick Lillie. As a recent UT graduate, I was checking out job possibilities in city hall. And as it turned out, Dick was leaving for graduate school and his position as a research analyst in the planning department was open. I was hired and Dick spent the next several weeks teaching me the basics of his job. Dick returned to Austin to continue his career in 1965 and when he finally decided to leave almost two decades later, I was again honored to assume his job responsibilities. And he was again there to ensure my smooth transition. While I have often said that I twice replaced Dick, that is actually not true because Dick Lillie was not replaceable! In both 1961 and 1984, all I did was continue his work. Over the past 60 years I have been associated with many many planners and, without hesitancy, I can say that none matched Dick’s caring, competency and character. Dick personified the perfect professional planner. Period! Jim Duncan, FAICP Homecoming Planning Coordinator Assistant Planning Director Planning Director 8 May 1965 12 Apr 1966 4 Dec 1970 Austin Tomorrow “We are not concerned about whether growth, but we want to know when, where and how.” Dick Lillie “Neighborhood planning … allows …a planning system tailored to … individual areas.” “(Residents want) elimination of public and private policies which encourage growth.” Dick Lillie Dick Lillie “If it wasn't for Dick Lillie, the whole thing (Goals Program) would have folded by now.” Dan Love, Mayor Pro Tem Austin Tomorrow 24 Jul 1974 “All my vital signs were vital.

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: 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. Be It Further Resolved: 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. Those items that have been pulled for late back-up should not have a deadline for speakers. Speakers should be able to call in at the time of the meeting 3.

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 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 …
