*** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To the Chair and Commissioners of the Zoning and Platting Commission: I write to express my support for the COA Staff recommendation for conditional rezoning regarding Item 4, C14-2022-0050 by Owner/Applicant Allandale Village Ltd. (Meredith Knight), doing business as Twin Liquors. This item relates to a change of use for 5806 Burnet Road (tenant space), situated within the Allandale Shopping Center, a commercial property located at the SW Corner of Burnet Road and Allandale Road in Council District 7. The Applicant, Allandale Village, Ltd., and the COA Case Manager, Heather Chaffin, are in accord regarding the rezoning of this space from CS-V to CS-1-V-CO, subject to the condition that the newly approved use will allow package liquor sales only, and prohibit any use as a bar now or in the future. The location of this space, in close proximity to an Austin ISD middle school, church and residential neighbors, as well as to a major and long-established grocery store with high traffic volume, make it more suitably located for package sales and not to a bar. The approach the Applicant has shown, and the work of staff on this item, is appreciated. Given the significant increase of the size of this new store, I would hope that in the future another liquor store would not be located in the existing space that will be vacated with this action. Thank you for your consideration. Mary Fero Allandale Neighborhood resident, Council District 7 Good Morning, Chair and Commissioners of the Zoning and Platting Commission, Mr. Rivera, and Ms. Chaffin - Mr. Rivera - Could you please add the attached to backup? I respectfully ask that the Commission vote to support Ms. Heather Chaffin’s recommendation and the applicant’s willingness to rezone the tenant space at 5806 Burnet Road from CS-V to CS-1-V-CO, which will allow for package liquor sales only. We deeply appreciate Ms. Chaffin’s and the applicant’s sensitivity to early neighborhood concerns that the tenant space at 5806 Burnet could become a bar now or in the future. For those commissioners unfamiliar with that locale, the area is very walkable and there are several vulnerable pedestrian groups, locations, and uses in both Allandale and Brentwood that are within mere feet of the property site. Within less than 1/3 mile, children walk to 5 different schools or their bus stops: • Northwest Montessori 800 feet • …
From: To: Subject: Date: Attachments: Joseph Crawford Sirwaitis, Sherri Re: Permit/Case 2022-078539 ZC Friday, September 2, 2022 8:45:09 AM image001.png *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hello Ms. Sirwaitis - Below are my comments for the proposed zoning designation. Please confirm receipt and that these will be provided to the Commission in their backup materials. Thanks again for your assistance. My name is Joe Crawford, my wife and I live in one of the three residential properties immediately adjacent to this tract. If the proposed use can be accomplished under Limited Office ("LO") zoning then I have no objection to allowing this art school on the property. College and University Facilities are conditionally allowed under LO zoning, but the proposed user is not a degree-offering institution so it would need a variance to be allowed here and I have no issue with that solution. I do object to the property being zoned General Office ("GO"). As geographical background, several LO-zoned properties separate this property from 183 on the East. It is otherwise surrounded by schools to the North and West and single-family residential properties to the South. The existing buildings of the property at issue appear also to comply with the height, use, and setback requirements of LO zoning. GO zoning would open the door to more intrusive uses that would not follow the City's comprehensive zoning plan. First - this property exactly meets the description of LO zoning districts from the City's Zoning Guide: "Limited Office district is the designation for an office use that serves neighborhood or community needs and that is located in or adjacent to residential neighborhoods. An office in an LO district may contain one or more different uses. Site development regulations and performance standards applicable to an LO district use are designed to ensure that the use is compatible and complementary in scale and appearance with the residential environment. This tract abuts three residential lots and so it is important that its development match the residential environment in scale and appearance. That is exactly why the LO zoning designation was created and this property should follow the City's comprehensive plan. Next, the City has adopted 12 principles to organize discussion on zoning issues and when this application is reviewed with these principles in mind, the property must be zoned LO. It is a long list but the City has adopted these principles for …

Improving Connectivity Resolution Zoning and Platting Commission Whereas; Priority Program 1 in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan calls for “investment in a compact and connected city through the coordination of capital investments, incentives, and regulations;” and Whereas; Imagine Austin also strives to Protect Livibility; and Whereas: Research shows that residents experience the highest levels of cohesion on dead-end and cul- de-sac streets, enhancing livability aspects such as safety (for in-street activities, children playing, etc.), security (increased recognition of neighbors and irregular activity), the opportunity to connect to community, increased peace and quiet (reduced traffic, noise, high-speed automobiles, etc.), access to areas for play and gathering of neighbors, and a degree of enhanced privacy. Whereas; There are design opportunities for dead-end and cul-de-sac streets that can include pathways, right of ways, trails and other options for connectivity. And, small (short) dead-end and cul-de-sac streets can be located along main arteries keeping residents connected to walkable/bikeable grids within the city, while also creating necessary buffers between commercial and residential areas.

Draft – 9/1/22 C20-2022-005a ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2022-005a, Land Development Code Amendments Description: Consider an ordinance regarding amendments to Title 25 related to environmental protection and landscape requirements. Proposed Language: Draft language is included as Attachment A. Summary of proposed code changes: A summary of the proposed code changes is included as Attachment B. Background: This ordinance responds to Council Resolution No. 20220609-061, which initiated Land Development Code amendments related to environmental, drainage, and landscape requirements. The resolution directed staff to present most of the initiated amendments to Council for consideration by September 15, 2022. The initiated code amendments and a summary of the staff proposal is provided below: 1. Establish criteria that prioritize when green stormwater methods should be required or incentivized over conventional stormwater controls; The proposed code amendments would require most sites to use green stormwater infrastructure, or GSI, to meet water quality treatment requirements. This amendment was previously proposed and reviewed as part of the Land Development Code (LDC) Revision. Under current code, many sites meet water quality treatment requirements by building a sedimentation/filtration pond. Sedimentation/filtration devices provide some water quality benefits by filtering polluted runoff and helping control stream-channel erosion, but they do not significantly address other important ancillary goals such as supporting on-site vegetation, increasing rainwater infiltration, and reducing potable water consumption. Requiring most sites to use GSI instead of conventional grey stormwater infrastructure will provide myriad benefits, including stormwater infiltration, soil health, wildlife habitat, urban heat island mitigation, water conservation, aesthetic value, and other ecosystem services. GSI also provides enhanced water quality benefits compared to sedimentation/filtration devices, including better removal of nutrients from stormwater and further reductions in erosive flows. The proposed code amendments would allow developments to choose from a variety of green stormwater controls, including biofiltration ponds, rain gardens, rainwater harvesting systems, porous pavement, and retention-irrigation systems (which can be built in conjunction with green roofs). All of these systems beneficially use rainwater to infiltrate and/or offset potable water. Staff also proposes to increase the beneficial use benefits of these controls over time through improvements to the design criteria in the Environmental Criteria Manual. 1 Draft – 9/1/22 C20-2022-005a The proposed code amendments provide some exceptions from the GSI requirement, allowing conventional controls to be used for sites with more than 90 percent impervious cover, regional ponds, difficult site conditions, and “hot-spot” land uses with highly contaminated runoff (e.g., …

KING – 2ND] VOTE: 7-0. C. Acosta, N. Barrera-Ramirez, A. Denkler, and R. Woody – Absent CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 1, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: During its regular meeting of July 19, 2022, members of the Zoning and Platting Commission indicated that they had potential concerns over the proposal given Chapter 25-4- 134 (Hazardous Pipelines), located within the Subdivision section of the City of Austin’s Land Development Code. In particular, concerns were presented that the proposal would potentially violate Chapter 25-4-134 by rezoning the subject property to SF-6, as the property would be less than one acre in size after the exclusion of the restricted pipeline area. 31 of 17 C14-2022-0067 Page 2 Staff was able to confirm that LDC Chapter 25-4-134 only applies to proposed subdivisions within the city limits. The proposal does not include a subdivision of the property, and the applicant has indicated that they do not intend to resubdivide the property in order to construct the seven units intended for the site. Furthermore, the existing property is a platted lot; the subdivision plat (C8-2016-0002.0A) has been included with the backup to this report. As such, the subject site was originally subdivided in 2016, but the code section in question was adopted in 2003. Staff was unable to find any subsequent notations or variances to LDC Chapter 25-4-134; therefore, it seems that the subdivision was approved in accordance with the adopted code in effect at 2016, which would have included LDC Chapter 25-4-134. Members of the Commission also indicated that they had concerns over potentially rezoning the property from SF-4A-CO to SF-6, as this would remove the conditional overlay currently in effect that restricts cumulative vehicle trips in the area …

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20220816-19 Date: August 16, 2022 Subject: Floodplain Commercial Redevelopment Exception Code Amendments Motioned By: Commissioners Smith Seconded By: Commissioner Stern Whereas the new National Oceanic Atmospheric Association “NOAA” ATLAS 14 rainfall information indicated increased rainfall levels within the City of Austin and the city adopted new regulations in an effort to protect the residents from flooding based on a better understanding of flood risk with this new rainfall information; and Whereas the Austin City Council directed City staff, boards, and commissions to initiate public processes to consider proposed code amendments to City floodplain regulations based on Atlas 14 floodplain data; and Whereas The City of Austin contacted more than 2,700 people at 110 different meetings and following that outreach on November 14, 2019 the City of Austin adopted new regulations with four basic elements: • Floodplain definitions, • Residential redevelopment exception, • Colorado River exception, • Increased Freeboard, and Whereas A significant number of residential and commercial properties are in the floodplain and that number increased when the new Atlas 14 regulations were adopted; and Whereas the City has a goal to create an administrative approval process for commercial redevelopment that decreases flood risk compared to the existing conditions and increases public safety; and Whereas the City Council and City of Austin are committed to equity in the development and implementation of land development policies and code amendments. Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission encourages the City Council to consider the following recommendations regarding the proposed floodplain commercial redevelopment exception code amendments: 1. The administrative approval process for a commercial building in a floodplain should include: a. Replaces or modifies an existing commercial building b. Finished floor elevation is at least 2 feet above the 100-year floodplain c. Does not increase the building square footage on the property d. Does not include the following uses: 1 of 2 i. E (educational) ii. F (Factory iii. H (High Hazard) iv. I (Institutional) e. Does not increase the number or flood level of parking spaces within the flood plain on the property unless otherwise required; and f. No adverse flooding impact as defined in LDC Sections 25.7-2 and 25.7-66. 2. Direct the City Manager to provide annual public updates on the following recommendations from the Flood Mitigation Task Force: a. City Council should conduct a periodic (e.g. every 5 years) financial and …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: GR-MU DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2022-0037 (3131 E Howard Lane) ADDRESS: 3131 East Howard Lane ZONING FROM: W/LO SITE AREA: 1.6 acres (69,696 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Peter Pham Phuong CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends LR-MU, Neighborhood Commercial-Mixed Use Combining District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 19, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 10B-1 C14-2022-0037 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently undeveloped. It was annexed by the City of Austin on December 31, 2007 (Case C7a-07-024) and received permanent W/LO zoning through zoning case C14-2016-0119. The lots to the north across E. Howard Lane have an interim zoning designation, I-SF-4A, and are developed with a single family residences (Cantarra Residential Subdivision). To the south, there is undeveloped land that is zoned W/LO. To the east there is a platted single family residential subdivision that is designated as Mixed Density Residential in the Pioneer Crossing PUD. The tract of land directly to the west is zoned W/LO and there are parcels of land located in the county. The applicant is requesting Community Commercial-Mixed Use District, zoning to develop condominium residential and retail uses on the property. The staff is recommending LR-MU, Neighborhood Commercial-Mixed Use Combining District, zoning for this site. The site under consideration meets the intent of the LR-MU district. The proposed LR-MU zoning will allow for low intensity commercial and residential uses on a tract of land that fronts onto an arterial roadway, East Howard Lane. The zoning will provide a transition across Howard Lane, to the planned residential uses to the north in the platted Cantarra Residential Neighborhood and to the east to the Mixed Residential Area in the Pioneer Crossing PUD. As the property is not located at an intersection, with more than one access point, LR-MU is more appropriate zoning designation adjacent to existing low density residential uses and office zoning. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Neighborhood Commercial district is intended for neighborhood shopping facilities which provide limited business service and office facilities predominately for the convenience of residents of the neighborhood. Mixed Use combining district is intended for combination with selected base districts, in order to permit any combination of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. 2. …

PROPERTY OWNER: State of Texas (Kyle Madsen) APPLICANT: Avery Land Investors, LP (Alex Clarke) AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Alice Glasco) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MF-4, Multifamily Residence-Moderate-High Density, District zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 19, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 13B-2 C14-2022-0074 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is undeveloped and moderately vegetated. This 6.182 acre tract of land is located near the intersection of Avery Ranch Boulevard and North Lake Creek Parkway. To the north and east, there are single-family residential lots (zoned PUD as part of the Avery Ranch Planned Unit Development). To the south of the site, there is undeveloped land and an office complex and state offices (Texas Department of Transportation Cedar Park Campus). The tract of land to the west is developed with a new multifamily residential complex (Avery Oaks Apartments). The applicant is requesting zoning to MF-4 to permit the development of an additional 164 multifamily residential units in this area. The staff recommends MF-4, Multifamily Residence-Moderate-High Density, District zoning because the property meets the purpose statement of the district. This tract of land is located adjacent to existing MF-4 zoning at the intersection of two arterial roadways, Avery Ranch Boulevard and North Lake Creek Parkway. The MF-4 zoning is compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses because there is MF-4 zoning to the south and west of the site. The property is located within the Transition zone of the Northwest Park & Ride Town Center Transit Oriented Development District (TOD) and by the Lakeline Station Regional Center as identified on the Growth Concept Map in the Image Austin Comprehensive Plan. MF-4 zoning will allow for additional housing opportunities in this area of the City adjacent to a planned transit oriented development (TOD) that will access onto the proposed extension of North Lake Creek Parkway. 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 (Moderate-High Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily and group residential use with a maximum density of 36 to 54 units per acre, depending on …
