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. B-2 Question: Commissioner King What was the mapping error that resulted in rehearing this case (B-02 - C14-2020-0015 - TechRidge Hotel; District 1)? Staff Response: The original notification only showed the southern tract, …

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 …

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.

Approximately 80 percent of the residential units would be designated as affordable, from 30 to 80 percent MFI (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C).

Development Services Department Staff Recommendations Concerning Required Findings Project Name & Case Number: Davis Water Treatment Plant - SPC-2012-0414(R1) Ordinance Standard: Watershed Protection Ordinance Variance Request: To allow construction within 150-foot Critical Environmental Feature (CEF) buffer for a Rimrock CEF [LDC 25-8-281(C)(2)(b)]. Include an explanation with each applicable finding of fact. A. Land Use Commission variance determinations from Chapter 25-8-41 of the City Code: 1. 2. The requirement will deprive the applicant of a privilege available to owners of similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development subject to similar code requirements. Yes. Other City of Austin water treatment plants have the same chemical feed system in place to help control zebra mussel infestations in the raw water transmission main. Chemical treatment is necessary to control zebra mussel infestations in raw water transmission mains. The variance: a) Is not necessitated by the scale, layout, construction method, or other design decision made by the applicant, unless the design decision provides greater overall environmental protection than is achievable without the variance; Yes. The variance is not necessitated by the design. No alternative locations are available on site for a Zebra Mussel Mitigation System. The system must be placed in or near the existing intake pump house. There is not enough room in the existing pump station to house the entire system, such as the chemical storage. All the proposed construction coincides within areas of existing impervious cover. Minimal impervious cover is being added. b) Is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable use of the property; Yes. The variance is a minimum deviation from the code requirement and is allowing for a reasonable use of the 1 of 20B-09 property. No new impervious cover is proposed. The Zebra Mussel Mitigation System and the associated construction activities is in areas, or adjacent to areas, with existing impervious cover or development. The piping for the chemical storage and metering station is the shortest and most direct route to the existing building, and the system is located where there is already an asphalt driveway or development. c) Does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences. Yes. The variance with the staff recommended conditions does not create a probability of significant harmful environmental consequences. Construction is within existing structures or where there is existing impervious cover. The chemical tank and piping are double contained. The equipment pad is curbed and …
