This postponement request is to allow for a full Commission to hear the case given the limited number of Commissioners in attendance at the July 6, 2021 meeting due to the Holiday. Please let me know if you or your team members require additional information or have any questions. Thank you for your time and attention to this project. Very truly yours, Amanda Swor CC: Joi Harden, Planning and Zoning Review Department (via electronic delivery) Sherri Sirwaitis, Planning and Zoning Review Department (via electronic delivery) -2-
June 14, 2021 Zoning and Platting Commission City of Austin RE: Letter of Opposition to Item B-3, 11705 Research Blvd.; Rezoning Case C14-2020-0146 Dear Commissioners: We are opposed to the rezoning of 11705 Research Boulevard until there is a plan to solve the serious traffic congestion and safety issues on the adjacent portion of the US Highway 183 NB service road. The headquarters of our organization, the Texas Association of School Boards, Inc. (TASB), is located just 0.3 miles northbound from the subject property, adjacent to the same service road. Our employees, tenants, and visitors already have a difficult time safely entering and exiting the parking lot with the high traffic volumes and crossing three lanes of traffic to get onto the on-ramp for the highway, and this situation will worsen if the proposed rezoning were approved. In 1990, the City Council approved the rezoning of the property to LI-CO, with conditions that reflected traffic concerns at that time. Now, nearly 30 years later, those concerns are substantially worse, and yet the applicant is requesting to lift much of the conditional overlay even though the population of the metropolitan area has increased from 846,227 in 1990 to 2,295,303 as of 2020. To summarize our concerns: 1. The General Warehousing and Distribution, Equipment Sales, and Equipment Repair Services uses should be prohibited on the entire property, since these uses would likely increase the volume of large trucks on the frontage road. 2. The projected traffic from the redevelopment of the larger overall 3M property is 16,136 trips per day. Because the property is just one portion of the overall 3M property, a decision on the proposed rezoning should consider the impact of the redevelopment of the entire 3M property, and there should be increased protections against traffic issues—not fewer. 3. The conditional overlay setting a maximum height of 40 feet should remain in place; otherwise there could be a more intensive development, which would further exacerbate the traffic issues. 4. We have seen no plan that would actually address the traffic issues, and the rezoning should be denied until there is a proven solution that is required to be implemented. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, James. B. Crow Executive Director

For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 15, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be scheduled for July 29, 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). The Applicant has requested family residence (SF-3) district zoning in order to build up to 18 single family residences on the property. The property was originally part of the Ford Oaks Annex subdivision which contains a plat note that requires 10,000 square foot lots (C8-54- 1 of 16B-1 C14-2021-0089 Page 2 020). The plat restriction also applies to the west that front on Wommack Road and to the north that access Gail Road. In 1961, the subject property was resubdivided as Lot 2 of the Drew Lane Addition, and the Applicant intends to adhere to the lot size restriction in redevelopment of the property. 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.

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 has proposed an office concept plan for the portion of this tract of land to adjacent the residential neighbors in Cedar Park, which would provide for a transition for the proposed commercial uses along S. Lakeline Boulevard to …

ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 26B-5 C14-2021-0032 2 ISSUES: The rezoning request is intended to rezone City-owned property to P zoning in accordance with City policy. The SF-2 zoning on the property was brought to the attention of the City by a nearby property owner who was concerned that a non-residential property owned by the City may trigger compatibility standards when redevelopment occurs on their own parcel. Zoning and Platting Commission heard a presentation regarding the request on December 15th and voted to support Housing and Planning Department initiation of the request on a vote of 10-0. Please see Exhibit C- ZAP Initiation Documents. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located along the east side of Ed Bluestein Boulevard slightly south of where the rail right-of-way (ROW) of the proposed Capital Metro Red Line. The Southern Walnut Creek Greenbelt Trail runs along the northern property line, and Boggy Creek runs through the subject property. The surrounding area includes single family residential areas, undeveloped parcels, and the Southern Walnut Creek Greenbelt. These properties are designated with a mix of SF-2, LI, and P zoning. Southern Walnut Creek Greenbelt was previously zoned SF-2 but rezoned to P in 2011. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the rezoning request. The 2011 rezoning reflected City policy of correcting inaccurate zoning designation of City-owned parcels, as is this rezoning request. The property forms a part of the Southern Walnut Creek Greenbelt system. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. 2. Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. Public (P) district is the …

Opposition Item B-2 (C14-2021-0003) Sun Auto My name is William (Trey) Neinast and I live at 1000 S. Riviera Cir. in Cedar Park, TX with my wife and my nearly two-year-old son. While I am a Cedar Park resident and therefore not technically a resident of the City of Austin, I am one of the property owners who would be most affected by this change as my home backs up directly to the parcel of land in question. Myself and my family are in opposition to this proposed zoning change. Three Main Points: 1) The current zoning is fair and appropriate per both the applicant and staff. 2) The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan has several policies that are not in alignment with this proposed zoning change. 3) At least one study has found that home proximity to auto repair shops is linked with an increased likelihood for childhood leukemia. Point 1 (Current Zoning is Fair and Appropriate) • The zoning for this parcel of land was last reviewed by the City of Austin in 2013. The applicant proposed a zoning change from SF-6 to GR but was granted a zoning of LR instead. (Reference 1: (http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=193776)) • The applicant agreed that the LR zoning was appropriate. (Reference 1) • While Austin has undergone many changes over the last several years, this specific area has not. The description of the current site characteristics, adjacent land development and uses, and relevant roadways is virtually identical between the 2013 zoning review and the 2021 review. (Reference 1 and Reference 2: (http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=362047)) • The only difference between 2013 and now regarding this specific area is that an apartment complex that was under construction in 2013 is now complete and operational as of 2021. (Reference 1 and 2) • There is an error in the 2021 Zoning Review document. It is stated that the Cedar Park portion of this land is currently zoned as Local Retail – Conditional Overlay. This is not true. The City of Cedar Park Planning and Zoning commission reviewed a proposal to change this portion of land from Medium Density Residential to Local Retail in August 2020 and did not approve this change. The proposal was withdrawn from City Council on 12/3/20 and has not been taken back up for consideration since. The part of this land in Cedar Park is currently zoned for Medium Density Residential.

June 14, 2021 Zoning and Platting Commission City of Austin RE: Letter of Opposition to Item B-3, 11705 Research Blvd.; Rezoning Case C14-2020-0146 Dear Commissioners: We are opposed to the rezoning of 11705 Research Boulevard until there is a plan to solve the serious traffic congestion and safety issues on the adjacent portion of the US Highway 183 NB service road. The headquarters of our organization, the Texas Association of School Boards, Inc. (TASB), is located just 0.3 miles northbound from the subject property, adjacent to the same service road. Our employees, tenants, and visitors already have a difficult time safely entering and exiting the parking lot with the high traffic volumes and crossing three lanes of traffic to get onto the on-ramp for the highway, and this situation will worsen if the proposed rezoning were approved. In 1990, the City Council approved the rezoning of the property to LI-CO, with conditions that reflected traffic concerns at that time. Now, nearly 30 years later, those concerns are substantially worse, and yet the applicant is requesting to lift much of the conditional overlay even though the population of the metropolitan area has increased from 846,227 in 1990 to 2,295,303 as of 2020. To summarize our concerns: 1. The General Warehousing and Distribution, Equipment Sales, and Equipment Repair Services uses should be prohibited on the entire property, since these uses would likely increase the volume of large trucks on the frontage road. 2. The projected traffic from the redevelopment of the larger overall 3M property is 16,136 trips per day. Because the property is just one portion of the overall 3M property, a decision on the proposed rezoning should consider the impact of the redevelopment of the entire 3M property, and there should be increased protections against traffic issues—not fewer. 3. The conditional overlay setting a maximum height of 40 feet should remain in place; otherwise there could be a more intensive development, which would further exacerbate the traffic issues. 4. We have seen no plan that would actually address the traffic issues, and the rezoning should be denied until there is a proven solution that is required to be implemented.

MEMORANDUM ************************************************************************ TO: FROM: Sherri Sirwaitis Zoning and Platting Commission Members Housing and Planning Department DATE: June 14, 2021 RE: C14-2020-0146 (11705 Research Blvd Zoning) Postponement Request ************************************************************************ The staff would like to request a postponement of the above mentioned case to July 6, 2021. The staff requires additional time to finalize our review of a new Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) that includes this property so we can provide this related information for the Commission’s review. The postponement request was made in a timely manner and meets the Zoning and Platting Commission’s policy.
June 15, 2021 Zoning and Planning Commission Question and Answer Report Commissioner King / Staff Response (blue): 1. Will the regulations adopted by Walnut Creek Neighborhood Association for hours of operation and distance to residences for mobile food vendors apply to this case if the recommended GR zoning, with or without the recommended conditional overlay, is approved by Council? 2. Given LO zoning on the adjacent property immediately north of this site, will any setbacks or screening be required for mobile food vending, restaurant, motel, or hotel uses on this site? 3. Will drive-thru fast food use be allowed on this site based on the recommended GR zoning, with or without the recommended conditional overlay? B-4 1. Yes, as the neighborhood has opted in to the additional Mobile Food Vendor Regulations per LDC Sec. 25-2-812. These regulations are Code requirements and therefore do not need to be repeated in the conditional overlay for the property. 2. Screening and fencing are required between residential and commercial uses per Compatibility Requirements. This does not apply between office and commercial uses. 25-2-1066 -SCREENING REQUIREMENTS (A) A person constructing a building shall screen each area on a property that is used for a following activity from the view of adjacent property that is in an urban residence (SF-5) or more restrictive zoning district: (1) off-street parking; (2) the placement of mechanical equipment; (3) storage; or (4) refuse collection. (B) A person constructing shoreline access, as that term is defined in Section 25-2-1172 (Definitions), shall screen the shoreline access from the view of property that is in an urban residence (SF-5) or more restrictive zoning district. A person may comply with this Subsection by providing vegetation and tree canopy as prescribed by rule, and may supplement compliance with other screening methods prescribed by rule. The owner must maintain the screening provided under this section. (C) A person may comply with Subsection (A) by providing a yard, fence, berm, or vegetation. If a fence is provided, the height of the fence may not exceed six feet, except as otherwise permitted by Section 25-2-899 (Fences As Accessory Uses). (D) The owner must maintain a fence, berm, or vegetation provided under this section. 3. Drive-In Services has not been recommended as a prohibited use on the site. However, the Commission could add this to the proposed conditional overlay if it chooses.

For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 1, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be scheduled for July 29, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of an unplatted tract (7401 Albert Road) and a platted lot (7407 Albert Road), is located approximately mid-block and zoned development reserve (DR) district. There is one single family residence located at each address. Albert Road contains single family residences and accessory residences on large lots and tracts zoned DR upon annexation in the mid-1980s. There are similar sized large tracts to the north (DR; SF- 1), south and west (DR), and the Elmwood Estates single family residential subdivision is to the east (SF-2). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial Exhibit) and B (Subdivision Plat). The Applicant has requested family residence (SF-3) district zoning in order to build two accessory dwelling units on the property, one at each address. 1 of 12B-3 C14-2021-0060 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 four residences on the two tracts. 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 …

The Conditional Overlay does the following: 1) establishes the following uses as conditional: alternative financial services, community recreation (private), community recreation (public), convalescent services, and hospital services (limited); medical offices (exceeding 5,000 square feet of gross floor area); 2) establishes the following uses as subject to LDC 25-2-587(D) (Requirements for Certain Uses in the Neighborhood Commercial (LR) District): general retail sales (general), personal improvement services, and restaurant (general); and 3) prohibits the following uses: automotive rentals, automotive repair services, automotive sales, automotive washing (of any type), bail bond services, business or trade school, business support services, commercial off-street parking, communications services, drop-off recycling collection facility, exterminating services, food preparation, funeral services, hotel-motel, indoor entertainment, indoor sports and recreation, outdoor entertainment, outdoor sports and recreation, research services, and theater.

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 1, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 15B-5 C14-2021-0054 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a 0.87 acre lot located at the northwest corner of Meadow Lark Avenue and the N. Interstate Highway-35 South Bound service road. This lot is currently developed with 1,575 sq. ft. residential structure (most recently used as an Air B & B) and a large 3,604 sq. ft. warehouse. There are office, retail and commercial uses to the north, office and commercial uses to the south and a single-family residential subdivision to the west. The applicant is proposing to redevelop the site with a food court and retail store/food sales use. The staff recommends GR-CO zoning because the property meets the intent of the Community Commercial district. GR-CO zoning will allow for uses that serve the community needs on a property that fronts onto a major freeway/highway, IH-35 South Bound. The proposed GR-CO zoning will be compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses because there are office and retail uses (LO zoning) to the north and office and commercial uses (CS-CO zoning) to the south, across Meadow Lark Avenue. 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. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed GR-CO zoning will be …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2021-0035 – McLaurin Rezone ZONING FROM: DR ADDRESS: 1512 Damon Road SITE AREA: 0.748 acres (32,582 square feet) PROPERTY OWNERS: Erich Daniel McLaurin and Olivia Ann McLaurin AGENT: Masterplan (Karen Wunsch) DISTRICT: 5 TO: SF-3 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 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 …
