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 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-06 C14-2020-0046 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 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 restaurant, retail and personal services uses. 2. Zoning changes should promote an orderly and compatible relationship among land uses. The proposed rezoning will be compatible with surrounding land …

3/26/2020 {002.00220681.4} 3 B-0136 of 92 May 13, 2020 Ms. Tina Salazar Principal, Akins High School 10701 South 1st Street Austin, Texas 78748 (512) 841-9905 tina.salazar@austinisd.org RE: Dear Ms. Salazar, Akins High School Observations and Potential Improvements WGI has reviewed the traffic operations around and within the Akins High School in Austin, Texas adjacent to the proposed South 1st Street Apartments development (Attachment 1). The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an assessment of existing conditions and issues, as well as to provide potential solutions regarding traffic operations and improvements for students and staff of the school while coinciding with the potential improvements proposed with the construction of the South 1st Street Apartments and required by the Austin Transportation Department (ATD). OBSERVATIONS One day of observations was conducted Thursday, March 12 from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM and 4:00 to 5:00 PM local time. South 1st Street and the parent drop-off/pick-up loop were areas of focus to determine existing operations and problem areas. A summary of the observed existing operations of Akins High School during drop-off and pick-up times can be found in Attachment 2. All images referenced in the below section about observations can be found in Attachment 3. WGI staff spent a significant portion of time during the morning observation period analyzing operations along South 1st Street and the west side of the high school as the official drop-off loop is situation on the south end of the high school along South 1st Street. MORNING DROP-OFF/ARRIVALS From 8:00 AM to 8:45 AM, the drop-off loop was serving one to four cars at a time and operating smoothly (Image 1). Some patrons were parking in the visitor spots within the drop-off loop instead of utilizing the loop to drop-off the students. Students driving themselves were mostly entering via South 1st Street and parking in the lot on the west side of the building. Beginning just before 8:50 AM, an increase in demand for the drop-off loop occurred. At approximately 8:50 AM, vehicles began to spill out on to South 1st Street at the entrance of the drop-off loop. Vehicles from Old San Antonio Road cut through the parking lots south of the building to bypass the drop-off queue and create additional congestion at the drop-off loop. Vehicles continued to alter the intended flow of the drop-off loop and cut through the parking lot to the north and exit …

May 8, 2020 Via Electronic Delivery Zoning and Platting Commission City of Austin 505 Barton Springs Road, Austin, TX 78704 Re: Opposition to Rezoning Case - C14-2019-0129 Dear Chair Kiolbassa and Members of the Zoning and Platting Commission, This letter is submitted on behalf of the Knolls at Slaughter Creek Homeowners Association (the “Knolls HOA”). Since the rezoning case was postponed in early March, Knolls HOA representatives have attempted to negotiate in good faith with the applicant to reach an agreement on entitlements that would allow the applicant to build a significant amount of new housing within the neighborhood, while mitigating impacts of cut through traffic on the neighborhood. Unfortunately, we need help from the Zoning and Platting Commission and the City Council to reach such a compromise. At this point, the Knolls HOA remains DENY the requested rezoning. OPPOSED to the proposed rezoning, and requests that you 1. Remove Wayne Riddell Loop Extension As previously noted in the Knolls HOA’s letter (attached hereto), the neighborhood is uniquely susceptible to cut-through traffic that builds up on FM 1626 and S 1st streets. The proposal to extend Wayne Riddell Loop to complete the connection between these two roadways will only make the existing cut-through traffic situation worse, by incentivizing vehicular traffic to use Wayne Riddell Loop as a bypass route to avoid the light at FM 1626 and S 1st Street. With proposed improvements to FM 1626 only in the distant, uncertain future, traffic congestion is anticipated to worsen, with longer and longer queues building up at intersections. The Knolls HOA is not alone with these concerns. The Village of San Leanna is also opposed to this project on the grounds that the extension of Wayne Riddell Loop will attract traffic S 1st St through the Village of San Leanna in hopes of bypassing traffic backed up on FM 1626. On March 24, 2020, the Board of Aldermen for the Village of San Leanna passed a resolution (also attached) opposing the extension of Wayne Riddell Loop and asking the Zoning and Platting Commission and the City Council to reject any action that would trigger the roadway’s extension. At their meeting, the Aldermen made several comments that the roadways extension might force the Village of San Leanna to consider their available legal options, which might include the closure of San Leanna Drive at their village limits to the general public . Should …

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.
