WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Austin, pursuant to the terms of Section 31 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Austin, has referred to the Zoning Board of Adjustment for its consideration a petition of Mrs. Opal Hibler, lessee, and Mrs. H. P. Lee, owner, requesting a change in the USE designation of the following property: A certain 43.2'x130 out of Outlot 28, Division O, in the City of Austin, being more particularly described by deed from T. H. Lockhart to Mrs. Lillian Lee, dated July 31, 1937, of record in Volume 567, pages 524, of the Deed Records of Travis County, Texas, and being known as 2714 East Ist Street, from "C" Commercial District and Second Height and Area District to "C-1" Commercial District and Second Height and Area District; and WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment held a hearing on this application at a meeting on September 3, 1946, at which the lessee appeared and again stated the reasons for requesting this change as contained in her application to the City Council dated August 13, 1946; and WHEREAS, the application of the owner, Mrs. H. P. Lee, dated August 19, 1946, and addressed to the City Council, also requested the above change for similar reasons; and WHEREAS, it was brought out at the hearing that there had existed on the corner of the block in which this property is located a non-conforming use where beer was sold and that after the applicant, Opal Hibler, had opened her cafe the non-conforming business also installed a cafe, which itself is a conforming use since this is zoned as commerciap property; and WHEREAS, under these circumstances the existing non-conforming use acquired all the rights and privileges of a "C-1" Commercial District in connect- ion with the cafe, leaving the applicant's cafe without such privileges, and thus created a condition wherein an unfair competition resulted and the hardship was imposed upon the applicant's business; and 660 660 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS WHEREAS, the applicant affirmed at this hearing that under these circumstances her business was adversely affected and she could not successfully compete with the non-conforming business and that she was, therefore, suffering the discrimination and was deprived of the same rights and privileges en- joyed by the existing non-conforming business; and WHEREAS, the Board deemed that these conditions did in fact create a hardship on the applicants in an inequitable enjoyment of rights and privileges and that she was entitled to relief but that, since this application involves only one lot, to change the same would result in a spot zone, which the Board does not approve and would, in addition, leave the existing business as a nonconforming use enjoying rights and privileges denied the applicant; therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: That the Board does not recommend the above change affecting this particular lot, but instead recommends that all the property lying between the appli- cant's property and Pleasant Valley Road and including the applicant's property, be changed from "C" Commercial District and Second Height and Area District to "C-1" Commercial District and Second Height and Area District in order that the non-conforming character of the existing use be terminated and all the property be zoned alike so that each property owner will enjoy the same rights and privileges now enjoyed by the non-conforming use.

Mr. and Mrs. Hibler, proponents of the proposed change, appeared and plead for the change on the ground that their competitors next door being permitted under a non-conforming Use to sell beer, proponents should be granted the same privilege in order to meet competition. A petition by Richard Daywood, et al, protesting the granting of any more permits for the sale of alcohol in the above locality, and a protest by telephone from Mrs. Helen Daywood, to this effect, were received. Mrs. Lawrence Stevenson, representing the Council of Churches, objected to the change on the ground that an additional place for the sale of beer 661 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 661 would be detrimental to the people in that neighborhood.

In spite of the present dire shortage of equipment, we are in the fortunate position of being able to fulfill this request for the reason that the present routing of this line is such that the change can be made with only mile in schedule. Also, we believe the change will involve no substantial sacrifice whatever in service to patrons now using the line as presently es tablished, The proposed change would extend bus service southward to East Live Oak Street, serving an area of approximately two square miles which was thinly populated when the line was originally established, but which since that time has become rather heavi, y populated. In addition, it would provide good service to Stacy Swimming Pool and Travis Heights School, which now receive no adequate bus service. Addition of a quarter mile in distance without change of schedule calls for certain revisions in the arrangement of stops on that part of the line now existent; and these are requested in the attached route alteration plan. We are also requesting permission to eliminate or re-locate certain stops in the interest of safety. We believe the benefits to be derived from this change, without any substantial sacrifice of service to anyone, are self-evident; therefore, we re- quest permission to effect the change at the earliest possible time -- preferably before school begins on September 12, if possible. We intend to inten- sively publicize the change throughout the area affected as soon as permission is received, and to put the change in effect as soon thereafter as possible. Respectfully submitted, (Sgd) Frank H. Hemby, President and General Manager" 674 674 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS AUSTIN TRANSIT, INC., TRAVIS HEIGHTS BUS LINE ROUTE ALTERATION PLAN 10- I.
