ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 1, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 11B-4 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is consists of a 1.146 acre area fronting Spicewood Springs Road that contains undeveloped land and an office building. The applicant is requesting LO-MU zoning because they would like to maintain the existing office use on Tract 1 and to build a residential condominium with 20 units on Tract 2. The staff recommends LO-MU zoning because the site under consideration meets the intent and purpose statement of the Limited Office-Mixed Use combining district. LO-MU zoning will promote consistency and orderly planning because there is existing office zoning (LO, LO-CO) located to the north and west and residential zoning (SF-6-CO, MF-3, SF-3, SF-6) located to the north, northwest and south of the site under consideration. The property fronts onto and is accessible from Spicewood Springs Road, a major arterial roadway. The proposed zoning will permit the applicant to develop a mixture of residential, civic and office uses adjacent to other office and residential uses. 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. Limited Office district is intended for offices predominately serving neighborhood or community needs, which may be located within or adjacent to residential neighborhoods. 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. The property under consideration is accessible from Spicewood Springs Road, a major arterial roadway. The proposed zoning will permit the applicant to construct additional residential units in this area of the city adjacent to other office and residential developments. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed zoning will promote consistency and orderly planning because there is existing office zoning (LO, LO-CO) and residential zoning (SF-6-CO, MF-3, SF-3, SF- 6) located …

PROPERTY OWNER: John Colbert Fish & Oana H Fish AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Alice Glasco) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends MF-4, Multifamily Residence-Moderate-High Density District, zoning. In addition, 39 feet of right-of-way from the existing centerline should be dedicated for Harrisglenn Drive through a street deed to the City of Austin prior to 3rd reading in accordance with the Transportation Plan. [LDC, Sec. 25-6-51 and 25-6-55]. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 1, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 13B-7 C14-2021-0195 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 8.382 acre area located at the northwest corner of Harris Glenn Drive and East Howard Lane. The site is undeveloped and contains part of the Harris Branch tributary/floodplain. The lots to the north are zoned MF-3 and are developed with single family residences and a detention pond. To the south, across East Howard Lane, there is an undeveloped tract zoned GR and a single family residential subdivision zoned SF-4A-CO. To the east, across Harris Glenn Drive, there is undeveloped land that is zoned GR-MU. The property to the west is undeveloped, unzoned and has an interim-rural residence (I-RR) designation. The staff is currently processing a zoning application for MF-4 (case C14-2021- 0186) on this tract of land. These properties were annexed by the City of Austin on December 31, 2003 through case: C7A-03-013. The applicant is requesting MF-4 zoning on the property in this case to construct a new 140-unit multifamily use at this location. The staff recommends the applicant’s request to rezone this tract of land to the Multifamily Residence-Moderate-High Density District because the property in question meets the intent of the MF-4 district. The proposed rezoning area is located adjacent to MF-3 zoning and a residential development to the north. MF-4 zoning will provide for additional housing options in this area of the city with access to East Howard Lane, a major arterial roadway and a designated Activity Corridor by the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The applicant agrees with staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning is consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought.

DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: This house would have contributed to the Air-Conditioned Village National Register Historic District, presented to the State Board of Review for the National Register of Historic Places in September 2021. For further information, see the draft nomination at https://www.thc.texas.gov/public/upload/preserve/national_register/ draft_nominations/Austin%2C%20Air%20Conditioned%20Village%20SBR.pdf. Due to owner opposition to the creation of the district, the nomination failed to move forward. However, this setback does not reflect on the significance of Austin’s Air-Conditioned Village experiment, and the Chrysler Air-Temp House is one of the best-preserved examples of the houses built and studied. Excerpts from the nomination are incorporated herein as relevant for context. This case initially came before the Historic Landmark Commission in June 2020 for a full demolition. The applicant in the 2020 case reconsidered their application for full demolition and submitted plans for a partial demolition and retention of the character-defining features of this house; those plans were reviewed and approved by the Commission. This proposal would have preserved much of the street façade of the house, replacing deteriorated materials in-kind or with a visually compatible modern material, and an addition to the back in what promised to be a sensitive rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of the house. The Commission initiated historic zoning on the house during the pendency of the preparation of those plans, and satisfied that the plans would preserve the character of the house, dropped the historic zoning case. Since that time, the original applicants sold the house to the …

Zoning & Platting Commission Case: C14H-2021-0164 Dec 7 2502 Park View Dr Joseph Reynolds 2611 West 49th Member Allandale Zoning Committee I support full Historic Recognition and Designation for 2502 Park View. 2502 Park View was one of the experimental houses in The Air Conditioned Village, used to determine how residences could/should be air-conditioned. The experiment was to try various ways to install air conditioning, try different A/C designs, study how to distribute the cold air, how to prevent the summer heat from coming in, to measure the electricity used to cool the houses , to determine what life effects the cooling would have. The A/C Village was a joint project of the National Association of Homebuilders, and the University of Texas. It was similar to SEMATECH, the semiconductor consortium that Admiral Inman initiated here in Austin in 1987. In 1950s major population centers were in the North. There, houses have basements because the foundation must be deep, below the freeze line. Furnaces were put in the basement, and in some of them ducts in the basement directed the hot air to the various rooms; some sent heat via steam pipes to the various rooms for radiators. Also, in the North, attics are extra rooms, where odd stuff is stored. In the South, attics are ovens. In the South freezing ground isn’t a problem, so houses have slab foundations or short piers. The AC Village would ‘investigate’ various ways to place equipment, investigate how to distribute conditioned air, to determine what redesign would improve that. It was to show the practicality of air-conditioned living. Before 1950, air conditioners used ammonia as the chemical to move heat from the cooling evaporator to the condenser. Liquid ammonia expands and vaporizes as it is 1 Zoning & Platting Commission Case: C14H-2021-0164 Dec 7 2502 Park View Dr released into cooling coils. The heat of vaporization required to change from liquid Joseph Reynolds 2611 West 49th Member Allandale Zoning Committee stage to vapor is taken from the coils, and thus from the air that blows over them; the air is cooled. The ammonia, now a gas is sucked thru piping to a compressor, where, during compression, that same heat is released to a second set of coils making them hot. When those are cooled, the ammonia again becomes a liquid, repeating the cycle. Using ammonia, the coils at the compressor must give such a …

TRAVIS COUNTY HISTORICAL COMMISSION Austin, Texas January 28, 2022 To: City of Austin Zoning and Platting, # C14H-2021-0164 The Travis County Historical Commission would like to support historic zoning for the property located at 2502 Park View Drive, Austin. This property is part of Allandale’s Air Conditioned Village, a 1954 era development meant to highlight the use and appeal of central air conditioning for middle income housing. It was the first of its kind, worldwide, and used by homebuilders and University of Texas scientists to assess the effectiveness of the systems along with associated features such as site orientation, landscaping, paint and overhangs. The house maintains its integrity and historical significance and deserves protection and future interpretation. It was designed by local architect Fred Day and meets the criteria for historic zoning under the current code for architecture, historical association and community value. The current demolition request would destroy one of the few remaining Air Conditioned Village properties and leave Austin without this important historical asset. We join other preservation organizations including Preservation Austin and Mid Tex Mod in requesting that a demolition permit not be approved and that the site be awarded historic zoning. Respectfully, James Robert “Bob” Ward Chair Travis County Historical Commission

However, I will also take this opportunity to inform you of a recent action of the Board. I support preservation of 2502 Park View Avenue, on the grounds of its historic value. My wife and I have long enjoyed seeing the house on walks around the neighborhood, and we appreciated the tour of the Air Conditioned Village organized by MidTexMod a few years ago. It’s rewarding to know something of the history of one’s neighborhood. Construction of the Air Conditioned Village began in 1953. All 22 homes had central air conditioning equipment furnished by a variety of manufacturers. Rather than being named for their original owners like the Scarborough House and similar grand mansions, these houses were named for their air conditioners. 2502 Park View Avenue was called the Chrysler Air-Temp House. In addition to central air, the houses had ventilation in attics, kitchens, and bathrooms, windows positioned to avoid strong sun, insulated walls, and roofs with overhangs and carports to create more shade. Energy-efficient features specific to this house include its south-facing orientation, the low-pitched roof with four-foot overhangs, clerestory windows with heat-absorbing glass to reduce heat load, and a large carport to the southwest. Even back then, Austin was a leader in green building! Starting in 1954, the homes and the families living in them were part of a year-long study of the technical, economic, and social aspects of air conditioning in smaller homes. This study encouraged the adoption of air conditioning in such homes, and it influenced the loan policies of FHA and other lenders to make it easier for people of modest means to purchase a home with air conditioning. Many in Allandale appreciate the history of the neighborhood, and hope some of its material …
From: To: Subject: Date: Rhoades, Wendy Re: For ZAP 2-1-2022 C14-2021-0161 - West William Cannon Housing Sunday, January 30, 2022 9:05:15 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hello Ms. Rhoades, I'm writing to submit additional comments for the Zoning and Platting Commission meeting on the 1st, if it's not too late. I am adding an additional concern that I thought of since submitting my original correspondence. Please excuse what I have repeated in my emails/comments for the sake of keeping this in one document. I live on William Cannon very close to the multifamily residence intended to be built at 3101 W. William Cannon Drive. (Case number C14-2021-0161) I am extremely troubled by this plan for a multifamily resident, or any building, to be built there. This part of William Cannon is already overly congested. The traffic would make it almost impossible for me to turn out of my home onto William Cannon; it's already very difficult as it is. I'm additionally troubled by the noise, light, and air pollution the construction of a 300-unit multifamily residence would create in this already crowded part of William Cannon. For those who contend the addition of this apartment complex would reduce the cost of living, I would invite you to consider whether or not Austin's cost of living has increased or decreased in the past 10 years as the construction of multi-family residential buildings has exploded all over the city. With all due respect to the individuals who make this argument, you must either be lying or in denial yourself. I've lived here for 11 years and can attest to the fact the cost of living has only increased dramatically, and we have more apartment complexes than ever. I am no longer able to live in the neighborhoods I used to live in because of how expensive they've become, in spite of how many new residential buildings there are. I am far from the only person and family tragically affected by this. Most importantly, we cannot afford to continue building apartments in these untouched green spaces. We are losing too many and this once beautiful green city is turning into a concrete parking lot with plywood condos built in every green space we have left. Not only is this project proposed to destroy another beautiful, untouched green space, it is proposed to destroy an actual nature preserve. There are many …

PROPERTY OWNER: 1208 Howard Lane, LLC (Saeed Minhas) AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Alice Glasco) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends Multifamily Residence-Moderate-High Density District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 18, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 12B-3 C14-2021-0186 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question contains part of the Harris Branch tributary/floodplain and undeveloped land. The tract to the north is a developing single family residential neighborhood zoned SF-2-CO. To the south, across East Howard Lane, there is an undeveloped tract zoned GR and a single family residential subdivision zoned SF-4A-CO. To the east, there is undeveloped land that is zoned SF-2-CO and GR-MU. The property to the west contains a wet detention pond for the office-warehouse uses to the northwest zoned LI- CO. The site under consideration was annexed by the City of Austin on December 31, 2003 through annexation case: C7A-03-013. The applicant is requesting permanent zoning on this property to construct a new 160-unit multifamily apartment complex. The staff recommends the applicant’s request to zone this tract of land to the Multifamily Residence-Moderate-High Density District because the property in question meets the intent of the MF-4 district. The proposed rezoning area is located adjacent to SF-2-CO zoning and a platted single family residential subdivision to the north and east. MF-4 zoning will provide for additional housing options in this area of the city with access to East Howard Lane, a major arterial roadway and a designated Activity Corridor. The property abuts the Dessau/Parmer Neighborhood Center as designated by the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The applicant agrees with staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning is 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 unit size. This district is appropriate for moderate-high density housing in centrally located areas near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, in areas adjoining downtown Austin and major institutional or employment centers, and in other selected areas where moderate-high density multifamily use is desirable. The site under consideration is located on an arterial roadway …

Ron Thrower) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GR-MU-CO, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit the following uses on the property: Automotive Sales, Bail Bond Services, Commercial Off-Street Parking, Drop-Off Recycling Collection Facility, Exterminating Services, Off-Site Accessory Parking, Pawn Shop Services and Personal Improvement Services. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 16, 2021: Postponed to January 4, 2022 at the applicant's request by consent (9-0, C. Acosta-absent); H. Smith-1st, N.

January 18, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-4 C14-2021-0155 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The 1.73 acre property under consideration consists of two undeveloped lots that front onto Lyndhurst Street and North FM 620 Road. Across the street at the northeast corner of Lyndhurst Street and N. FM 620 Road, there is a former service station that is now being utilized for a lawn care company (Grassworks) and an elementary school (Forest Creek Elementary). To the south, there is a multifamily development (Lakeline Square Townhomes) and a religious assembly use (Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses). The property the west is zoned LO and is developed with an office (State Farm Insurance). In this case, the applicant is requesting CS-MU zoning to develop an undetermined use at this location. The staff is recommending GR-MU-CO, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District zoning. The property meets the intent of the zoning district and is consistent with surrounding land use patterns. GR-MU-CO zoning is appropriate for this site as the property is located on a local collector roadway at the entrance to a residential neighborhood across Lyndhurst Street from a school (Forest Creek Elementary School). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning is 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. Mixed Use combining district is intended for combination with …

SITE AREA: 1.772 acres PROPERTY OWNER: PC Land, LLC (Brandon Krause) AGENT: Husch Blackwell LLP (Nikelle Meade) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff’s recommendation is to grant GR-MU-CO, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning with the following conditions proposed by the applicant: 1) provide a 50-foot vegetative buffer along the eastern property line, 2) comply with Compatibility Standards (LDC Section 25-2, Article 10) for the residential properties to the east, 3) to prohibit the following uses: Automotive Repair Services, Automotive Rentals, Automotive Sales, Automotive Washing (of any type), Drop-Off Recycling Collection Facility, Exterminating Services, Outdoor Sports and Recreation, Pawn Shop Services, and Service Station, 5) to make Restaurant (General) and Restaurant (Limited) conditional. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: December 7, 2021: Meeting canceled due to lack of quorum. January 4, 2022: Postponed to January 18, 2022 at the staff's request (10-0, T. Bray – Off the Dais); A. Denkler-1st; H. Smith – 2nd. January 18, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 39B-5 C14-2021-0142 ISSUES: 2 This property was owned by Velda B. Wyche in 2014 when the previous zoning case for the plant nursery uses was conducted. PC Land, LLC purchased this property in 2016 and moved to this location from West Anderson Lane. It appears that the ownership and the use have changed and the property is no longer in conformance. According to the Austin Code Department, the applicant was originally cited on April 9, 2019 because a two-story building was being constructed on the property without a permit (Please see Notices of Code Violations – Exhibit E). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently utilized as a landscaping company (Construction Sales and Services use). This site was developed with a plant nursery use (Hill Country Garden Center) that was in existence when this tract of land was annexed by the City of Austin in 1998 (Ordinance No.19981210-L). The applicant is requesting …

The Conditional Overlay restricts development to a 25-foot wide front yard setback; a maximum of 50 percent building coverage; a maximum of 60 percent impervious cover; and a maximum of 23 units per acre. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 18, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: February 17, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject platted lot is located along the west side of FM Road 2222 and contains a four- story multifamily residential development that was constructed in three phases and appears to have been completed in 2009. A segment of Bull Creek extends across the FM 2222 frontage and a tributary runs in a north – south direction through the property’s eastern half. Driveway access to FM 2222 aligns with Jester Boulevard on the north side. The zoning area and adjacent lots were annexed into the City limits in December 2007 and zoned interim – rural residence (I-RR) at that time. In November 2006, prior to annexation, a “D” (non-land use) site plan was approved for the multifamily residences (SP-06-0592D). B-091 of 13 C14-2021-0184 Page 2 The zoning area is surrounded by an undeveloped lot owned by the City and another undeveloped L-shaped lot approximately 560 feet to the north that is privately owned and proposed for GO-MU zoning (both currently I-RR); office and commercial uses across FM 2222 to the east (PUD; GR-CO; LR); undeveloped land to the south (County; DR; LR-CO), and undeveloped land owned by the City to the west (I-RR; County). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). The Applicant requests multifamily residence – moderate-high density – conditional overlay (MF-4-CO) district zoning consistent with the existing four-story apartments. The requested Conditional Overlay establishes multifamily residence – low density (MF-2) development standards for the property (front yard setback, building coverage, impervious cover and maximum units per acre) except for height …

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture, historical significance, community value. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: July 26, 2021: Initiated historic zoning. August 23, 2021: Recommended historic zoning. Vote: 9-0 (Larosche and Tollett absent). ZONING and PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION: November 2, 2021: Postponed to December 7, 2021 at applicant’s request. December 7, 2021: Meeting cancelled. January 18, 2022: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house is beyond the bounds of the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984) but is contributing to the identified Air-Conditioned Village National Register Historic District. See the draft nomination at https://www.thc.texas.gov/public/upload/ preserve/national_register/draft_nominations/Austin%2C%20Air%20Conditioned%20Village%2 0SBR.pdf for further information on the Austin Air-Conditioned Village. This case came before the Commission in June 2020 for a full demolition. The applicant in the 2020 case reconsidered their application for full demolition and submitted plans for a partial demolition and retention of the character-defining features of this house; those plans were reviewed and approved by the Commission. The prior proposal would have preserved much of the street façade of the house, replacing deteriorated materials in kind or with a visually-compatible modern material, and an addition to the back in what promised to be a sensitive rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of the house. The Commission initiated historic zoning on the house during the pendency of the preparation of those plans, and satisfied that the plans would preserve the character of the house, dropped the historic zoning case. Since that time, the original applicants sold the house to the current applicant, who is seeking a permit to demolish the house and build a new house in its place. This house, being remarkably intact from the time of its construction, would have been contributing to the Air-Conditioned Village National Register Historic District, presented to the 1 of 115B-11 State Board of Review in September 2021. There was owner opposition to the creation of the district, and as a result, the nomination failed to move forward. …

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 18, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: C14-2021-0159 2 ISSUES: A portion of the property is located within the 100 year flood plain, and the remainder of the property is located within Critical Water Quality and Water Quality Transition Zones (CWQZ and WQTZ). The majority of the property is located in the WQTZ and is therefore limited by Code to 18% impervious cover. Consequently, the rezoning is primarily requested to determine land uses, setbacks and building height. Please see Exhibit C- Applicant Letter. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the south side of FM 969 approximately 2 miles west of Loop 360. The existing I-RR zoning was applied to the property when the area was annexed in 2007. The undeveloped property is located within the West Bull Creek watershed and subject to Water Supply Suburban regulations and is also subject to Hill Country Roadways and Scenic Roadways zoning overlays. Although the property is addressed on Vaught Ranch Road, access to the road is not possible. The subject property will take access to FM 2222. Surrounding properties to the south, west and east are zoned I-RR and RR, as well as unzoned property in the ETJ. Significant portions of the surrounding area are undeveloped but there are some developed properties in the area. Land uses in the I-RR zoned area include medical offices, professional offices, multifamily residential and an electric substation. Properties in the RR zoned area are single family residential. Across FM 2222 to the north are properties zoned PUD, LR and GR-CO These properties include a mix of commercial and office land uses. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the rezoning request to GO-MU. As stated in the Issues section, the creek buffers and floodplain significantly constrain development on the site. Additionally, City regulations limit the majority of the site to 18% impervious cover; other parts of the site (in the CWQZ and floodplain) are …

1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-90-0003.21 -- Harris Branch PUD Amendment 21 ZONING FROM: PUD TO: PUD, to change a condition of zoning ADDRESS: US Highway 290 and Harris Branch Parkway SITE AREA: +/-2,100 Acres PROPERTY OWNER/APPLICANT: Austin HB Residential Properties, Ltd. AGENT: Coats Rose PC (John M. Joseph) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request to modify the PUD to allow building height to be measured in feet (40’ maximum) instead of feet and stories (40’ and 3 stories maximum). The amendment only applies to parcels in the PUD that are designated as LO, LR, MF-2 and MF-3. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: December 7, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: January 27, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 27B-2 C14-90-0003.21 2 ISSUES: Under the current PUD zoning, building height is measured in feet and stories—40’ and 3 stories. The request would allow buildings to be measured in feet only (remaining 40’) but eliminating the story requirement. The amendment only applies to parcels in the PUD that are designated as LO, LR, MF-2 and MF-3. The amendment is related to construction differences that have changed since the original zoning ordinance in 1990, as well as differences in how the International Building Code (IBC) definitions and City of Austin zoning definitions have been clarified in recent years. The amendment does not increase any PUD entitlements. The rezoning request was initially determined by Staff to be an administrative amendment which does not require Commission or Council review. After additional review, it was determined that the amendment would need to be approved by City Council because the amendment affects items that are located in the ordinance and not on the PUD land use plan. No other changes to the PUD are requested with this amendment. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: Harris Branch Planned Unit Development (PUD) was created in 1990 in northeast Austin. The PUD is generally located northwest of the intersection of US Highway 290 and State Highway 130. Harris Branch includes over 2,000 acres and includes parcels with a wide range of zoning designations. Zoning designations range from SF-2 to LI and include most other residential, office, and commercial designations, as well as P zoned tracts for parkland and infrastructure. More than half of the original 2,000 acres has …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2021-0142 (Perfect Cuts Landscaping) DISTRICT: 6 ADDRESS: 13561 Pond Springs Road ZONING FROM: GR-CO TO: CS-MU-CO* *The applicant submitted an amendment letter on September 13, 2021 stating that they would add a conditional overlay to this request to maintain some of the prohibited uses and the 50- foot vegetative buffer along the eastern property line from the current zoning ordinance for this property (Please see Applicant Amendment Letter - Exhibit C). SITE AREA: 1.772 acres PROPERTY OWNER: PC Land, LLC (Brandon Krause) AGENT: Husch Blackwell LLP (Nikelle Meade) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff’s recommendation is to grant GR-MU-CO, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning with the following conditions proposed by the applicant: 1) provide a 50-foot vegetative buffer along the eastern property line, 2) comply with Compatibility Standards (LDC Section 25-2, Article 10) for the residential properties to the east, 3) to prohibit the following uses: Automotive Repair Services, Automotive Rentals, Automotive Sales, Automotive Washing (of any type), Drop-Off Recycling Collection Facility, Exterminating Services, Outdoor Sports and Recreation, Pawn Shop Services, and Service Station, 5) to make Restaurant (General) and Restaurant (Limited) conditional. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: December 7, 2021: Meeting canceled due to lack of quorum. January 4, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 31B-3 C14-2021-0142 ISSUES: 2 This property was owned by Velda B. Wyche in 2014 when the previous zoning case for the plant nursery uses was conducted. PC Land, LLC purchased this property in 2016 and moved to this location from West Anderson Lane. It appears that the ownership and the use have changed and the property is no longer in conformance. According to the Austin Code Department, the applicant was originally cited on April 9, 2019 because a two-story building was being constructed on the property without a permit (Please see Notices of Code Violations – Exhibit E). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently utilized as a landscaping company (Construction Sales and Services use). This site was developed with a plant nursery use (Hill Country Garden Center) that was in existence when this tract of land was annexed by the City of Austin in 1998 (Ordinance No.19981210-L). The applicant is requesting CS-MU-CO, General Commercial Services-Mixed Use-Combining District, zoning to bring the current use on the property into conformance with land use regulations in the City of …
1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2020-0145 -- Rogers ADU ZONING FROM: SF-2 TO: SF-3 ADDRESS: 5210 Rogers Lane SITE AREA: 0.338 Acres PROPERTY OWNER/APPLICANT: Capital River Group, LLC - Series 24 (Stuart Carr) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request to rezone the property to SF-3. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: January 4, 2022: December 7, 2021: Meeting cancelled due to lack of quorum. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 7B-4 C14-2021-0145 2 ISSUES: Under the current zoning, one single family residence can be constructed on the lot. If rezoned to SF-3, a maximum of two dwelling units would be permitted on the lot. The Applicant has stated their intent to retain the existing single family residence and add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for a 0.33 acre property located on the west side of Roger Lane approximately 240 feet north of the FM 969 right-of-way. The property is zoned SF-2 and developed with one house. Most surrounding properties are also zoned SF-2 and primarily developed with single family residences and related structures. The properties immediately south of the subject tract are zoned SF-3 and developed with single family residential uses. Further south, at the intersection of Rogers Lane and FM 969, is an art studio/indoor entertainment property zoned SF-2 (nonconforming land uses). West of the property is LR-MU and SF-6-CO zoned property that is currently undeveloped. Further to the east is Oak Meadows Elementary School, zoned SF-2. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The proposed rezoning is located on Rogers Lane, a Level 1 that primarily serves large-lot residential properties. The road right-of-way (ROW) is approximately 52 feet wide and the pavement is 18 feet wide. The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) does not identify any immediate or long terms plans for improvements to the roadway. The proposed rezoning does not generate enough vehicular trips to trigger the requirement for a Neighborhood Traffic Analysis (NTA). In addition to this rezoning request, two other rezoning requests are currently under Staff review that propose access to Rogers Lane. One of these cases, C14-2021-0141 (Agave Annex), is required to submit a NTA which will provide more information about the characteristics and capacity of …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2021-0155 (Lyndhurst Rezoning) DISTRICT: 6 ADDRESS: 13424 Lyndhurst Street, 13443 N FM 620 Road North Bound ZONING FROM: GR-CO, I-SF-2 TO: CS-MU SITE AREA: 1.73 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Naiser Holdings, LLC AGENT: Thrower Design LLC (A. Ron Thrower) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GR-MU-CO, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit the following uses on the property: Automotive Sales, Bail Bond Services, Commercial Off-Street Parking, Drop-Off Recycling Collection Facility, Exterminating Services, Off-Site Accessory Parking, Pawn Shop Services and Personal Improvement Services. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 16, 2021: Postponed to January 4, 2022 at the applicant's request by consent (9-0, C. Acosta-absent); H. Smith-1st, N. Barrera-Ramirez-2nd. January 4, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-5 C14-2021-0155 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The 1.73 acre property under consideration consists of two undeveloped lots that front onto Lyndhurst Street and North FM 620 Road. Across the street at the northeast corner of Lyndhurst Street and N. FM 620 Road, there is a former service station that is now being utilized for a lawn care company (Grassworks) and an elementary school (Forest Creek Elementary). To the south, there is a multifamily development (Lakeline Square Townhomes) and a religious assembly use (Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses). The property the west is zoned LO and is developed with an office (State Farm Insurance). In this case, the applicant is requesting CS-MU zoning to develop an undetermined use at this location. The staff is recommending GR-MU-CO, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District zoning. The property meets the intent of the zoning district and is consistent with surrounding land use patterns. GR-MU-CO zoning is appropriate for this site as the property is located on a local collector roadway at the entrance to a residential neighborhood across Lyndhurst Street from a school (Forest Creek Elementary School). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning is 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. 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. Conditional Overlay combining district may …
