The previous request was to maintain the existing zoning of Limited Industrial-Conditional Overlay (LI-CO) and General Commercial Services- Conditional Overlay (CS-CO), but to remove Part 2. 1 associated with zoning ordinance 20050623-Z009. We are amending the request to CS-CO for the both zoning tracts. To ensure that the future development is compatible with the adjacent residential uses, we have agreed to prohibit the following uses: ● Automotive repair services ● Construction sales and services ● Equipment repair services ● Equipment sales ● Funeral services ● Monument retail sales ● Outdoor sports and rec ● Vehicle storage ● Custom Manufacturing ● Agriculture sales and services ● Automotive rentals ● Automotive sales ● Automotive washing (of any type) ● Bail bond services ● Campground ● Club or lodge ● Commercial blood plasma center ● Drop-off recycling collection facility ● Exterminating services ● Hospital services (general) ● Hospital services (limited) ● Hotel-motel ● Kennels ● Laundry services ● Limited warehouse and distribution ● Maintenance and service facilities ● Outdoor entertainment ● Pawn shop services ● Pedicab storage and dispatch ● Safety services ● Service station ● Transportation terminal ● Drive-thru Facilities Additionally, we are proposing the following Conditional Overlays: 1. Limit the maximum height of any structure on Tract One to 50-feet. 2. Provide a 30’ landscape buffer along the eastern& Western boundary of the property. The rezoning request still includes the removal of Part 2.,1 of zoning ordinance 20050623-Z009. Part 2. #3, limiting the height to 35’ for Tract Two shall remain in place. 10814 Jollyville Road, Avallon IV, Suite 200 Austin, TX 78759 Contact: Amanda Brown. 737-471-0333 If you have any questions regarding this request or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience.

Zoning and Platting Commission Resolution Proposed Project Connect Ordinance – C20-2021-014 Whereas, the Austin City Council passed Resolution 20211029-003 directing the City Manager to initiate code amendments to facilitate design, construction, and operation of Project Connect; and Whereas, an important goal of Project Connect is to facilitate and expand affordable transit opportunities that help small businesses and low- and middle- income families become more resilient and avoid involuntary displacement; and Whereas, the proposed Project Connect Ordinance provides code amendments that are intended to streamline design and construction of Project Connect transportation infrastructure; Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission encourages the Austin City Council to consider the following recommendations regarding the Project Connect Ordinance. Project Connect should: o • Create and timely maintain a public consolidated dashboard that provides: Information on Project Connect anti-displacement funds, programs, and resources available to families and businesses at risk of involuntary displacement along or immediately adjacent to Project Connect Corridors. o Demographics on families and businesses at risk of involuntary displacement along or immediately adjacent to Project Connect transit corridors. o Financial data on Project Connect anti-displacement bond funding provided to families and businesses along or immediately adjacent to Project Connect transit corridors. o Quarterly reports on Project Connect’s compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. • Ensure that Project Connect code amendments do not override environmental and air quality regulations, noise and amplified sound regulations, neighborhood review and public hearing requirements, public notice and protest rights, and variance review and hearing requirements. • Clearly define “Fast-Track Permit” and the associated fast-track permit process. • Seek recommendations from the Equity Office on all proposed Project Connect code amendments. • Brief and seek recommendations annually from the Zoning and Platting Commission, Planning Commission, and Environmental Commission on project development. Implement multilingual public outreach based on languages spoken in the affected populations. • • Brief the Environmental Commission early in the Draft EIS NEPA public involvement period to seek Environmental Commission comments and recommendations related to sound mitigation and management and other environmental elements.

Item 7 C20-2021-014 - Project Connect Joe Reynolds Allandale/Burnet Corridor Zoning & Platting Chair and Commissioners, I support David King’s Resolution concerning this item. It addresses necessary openness missing in the City’s draft. Please vote to approve it. There are issues not addressed in Commissioner King’s resolution that must be considered to prevent great upset as Project Connect construction interacts and conflicts with work and jurisdiction of other agencies. As an example, Project Connect will need to build bridges across I-35 during the time that TXDOT and US Dept. of Transportation are rebuilding, and there is no provision for coordination between the projects, or for acquiring ROW from the other agencies. Similar deficiencies exist in construction at the airport, with the addition of Toll Road companies and FAA. The routing there is very unsure. Tunneling will have disturbance issues beyond Noise. And, the draft ordinance minimizes the concern and outcry that will occur if Project Connect construction causes bankruptcy of the small business that line the transit corridors. Remember what the 7th Street reconstruction caused, in a time before social media and Internet megaphones. This commission has a leadership role, not just an approval role. Thank You. Joe Reynolds To: Zoning and Platting Commissioners From: Nathalie Frensley, D7 Re: Item 7 (C20-2021-014) Please support the King Resolution regarding Project Connect Transparency and Accountability Dear Commissioners – I respectfully ask that you vote against Item 7 – C20-2021-014 – in its present form. Please support Commissioner King’s Resolution regarding transparency and public accountability in Project Connect’s proposed Foundational ordinance. At present, Project Connect’s Foundational Ordinance singly discusses Project Connect’s asserted need for streamlining administrative authority for transportation project construction. The problem is that this resolution does not explain how it will streamline without (1) reducing public access to information and opportunities for engagement; and (2) deconflicting Project Connect projects with other transportation projects that are initiated by other City of Austin departments, Travis County, State of Texas, and the Federal government. Passing Commissioner King’s resolution will be an important first step by ZAP to remedy Project Connect’s omission of public access to information and opportunities for meaningful engagement. Moreover, doing so will align with Austinites’ strong sentiments about good governance. This Project Connect Ordinance Foundational ordinance has been proposed less that four months since the June Notley/Austin Monitor public survey results revealed that 57% of Austinites think the City has headed …

ITEM FOR ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION AGENDA COMMISSION MEETING DATE: 9/7/2022 NAME & NUMBER OF PROJECT: NAME OF APPLICANT OR ORGANIZATION: BKO Parmer (SP-2021-0034D) BKO Parmer (Steve Jamison) LOCATION: 4801 East Yager, Austin, Texas 78754 COUNCIL DISTRICT: ETJ ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW STAFF: Tunde Daramola, Environmental Review Specialist Senior, DSD, 512-974-6316, Babatunde.Daramola@austintexas.gov WATERSHED: REQUEST: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: STAFF CONDITIONS: Harris Branch Watershed, Suburban, Desired Development Zone Variance request is as follows: Request to vary from LDC 25-8-342 to allow fill over 4feet up to 12feet. Staff recommends this variance, having determined the findings of fact to have been met. Preserve trees/natural areas. Apply City of Austin Landscaping Ordinance on ETJ site. Provide structural containment of fill with a retaining wall. 1 of 74B-8 Development Services Department Staff Recommendations Concerning Required Findings Project Name: Ordinance Standard: Watershed Protection Ordinance Variance Request: BKO Parmer To allow for fill exceeding 4 feet up to 12 feet for building construction 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. 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. The variance will not be providing a special privilege to the applicant. The proposed buildings are similar in size to similarly situated property. In order to facilitate this type of development levelling and additional fill is required for the buildings. Prior projects in this area had a similar situation. A prime example is Crossroad Logistics Center Additions, SP-2021-0169D. A Land Use Commission variance was granted to LDC 25-8-342 to allow fill up to 17 feet. 2. 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. Existing site conditions necessitate additional “fill” for fulfilling the requirements of two fire lane/emergency access routes as well as structural bridge for spanning the CWQZ. b) Is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable use of the property; Yes. The site is being graded as efficiently as possible to provide the required access slopes and bridge heights to minimize the amount of variance required. 2 of 74B-8 c) Does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences. The variance …
