Mayor and City Council Austin, Texas Gentlemen: The Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on March 15, 1938, passed the following resolution which is hereby submitted for your consideration: RESOLUTΙΩΝ. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Austin, pursuant to the terms of Section 30 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Austin, has referred to the Board of Adjustment for its consideration the petition of Mr. T. A. Martin for a change in the "Use" District designation of a 75' extension of the rear of his property fronting 94' on South Congress Avenue and an additional tract behind the present Magnolia Filling Station adjacent to his property, which tracts of land extend to a creek in the rear of the property, from "A" Residence District to "C" Commercial District, said property being shown on a plat attached to said petition; and WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on March 15, 1938, carefully considered the changing of the "Use" District designation of this property, and has viewed the premises and carefully studied the conditions and developments surrounding same and considered this change from all points of view from sound zoning prin- ciples; therefore BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: That it is hereby recommended to the City Council that the "Use" District designation of the above described property be changed for the following reasons: 1. That this property is so situated that it would be unfit for any other purpose except commercial "Uses" inasmuch as there is no access thereto on account of the creek in the rear and the existing commercial property in front of the same. 2. That this property is under a single ownership and unsubdivided and therefore the scaling at present boundaries of the commercial district on the existing zoning maps would not necessarily govern the actual depth of the commercial district from Congress Avenue. March 18, 1938. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT H. F. Kuehne Chairman. The following report of the Board of Adjustment was received and filed: "Hon. Mayor and City Council Austin, Teхав. Gentlemen: The Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on March 15, 1938, passed the fol.lowing resolution which is hereby submitted for your consideration: RESOLUTION. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Austin, pursuant to the terms of Section 30 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Austin, has referred to the Board of Adjustment for its consideration the petition of Mr. Charles Wendlandt, Jr., for a change in the "Use" District designation of Lots 7, 8, and 9, in the Walter Staehely and Chas. Wendlandt, Jr., Resubdivision of Fredericksburg Road Acres, at the intersection of West Mary Street and Fredericksburg Road, from "A" Residence District to "C" Commercial District, being a portion of the new territory recently annexed to the City of Austin; and WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on March 15, 1938, carefully considered the changing of the "Use" District designation of this property, and has 632 viewed the premises and carefully studied the conditions and developments surrounding same and considered this change from all points of view from sound zoning principles; therefore BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: THAT it is hereby recommended to the City Council that the entire triangle, including the lots above mentioned, bounded by Fredericksburg Road, Kinney Avenue, and Hether Street, be changed from "A" Residence District and First Height and Area District to "C" Commercial District and Second Height and Area District for the follow- ing reasons: 1. That this property consists of a triangular tract and mostly vacant but already containing two commercial buildings and two or three residences and fronts on a major State highway and a major thoroughfare leading into the city, viz., Kinney Avenue. 2. That the lots requested by the applicant will be an irregular shaped area, dividing the triangle into two parte which would render the remaining parts less desirable for residential development. 3. That to change the property requested in the application would be a case of spot zoning in a relatively small self-contained triangular tract. 4. That considering the rapid development of this section of the City into a residential area, it is deemed desirable that a commercial community center be set aside now to provide for the present and future demands for commercial development to serve this rapidly growing area which would thus prevent the spotting of this section with commercial "Uses" which would tend to adversely affect the residential character of this section. March 18, 1938. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT By H. F. Kuehne Chairman. 11 A public hearing on the proposal to change the zoning of the property described in the foregoing report was called for Thursday, April 14, 1938, at 11:00 A. Μ.
