III. To be changed From : "B-1" Residence District and Second Height and Area To : District "B" Residence District and Second Height and Area District. 1443 1443 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS IV. Considered by the Board on: July 8, 1947 V. Parties appearing: For : None VI. Against: None Action of the Board: Above change recommended to include all eight lots which are now zoned "B-1" Residence District. For the following reasons: 1. On January 16, 1946, the Board of Adjustment recommended to the City Council that all the property on the north side of West 25th Street, from San Gabriel Street to the present "B" District on Rio Grande Street, be changed to "B" Residence District, having previously recommended that all of the property on the south side of 25th Street be so changed which has been done by the Council, and since that time numerous changes have been made in the use classification of property north of 25th Street involving the change to "B" Residence and "B-1" Residence District upon the application of property owners. 2. The present classification of this property is "B-1" Resi dence and the property to the east and south is now "B" Residence District. 3. The continuous extension of the "B" Residence District in the area originally recommended by the Board indicates a definite trend and need for additional "B" Residence property due to the continued growth of the University which 1s now preparing for an even greater enrollment for the coming year. Therefore, the change in the above described property is fully justified. (Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Chairman. # Councilman Johnson moved that a public hearing on foreging application for change in zoning be called for Thursday, August 7, 1947, at 11:00 A. M.

Thisle, by Earl Shelton, Lawyer. 1444 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1444 I. Referred to the Board by the City Council on : II. Property affected; July 10, 1947. The premises of and on rear of 4421 Bellvue Avenue (being Lot 2, Block 3, Alta Vista Addition ) III. To be changed From : "A" Residence District To : "D" Industrial District IV. Considered by the Board on: July 15, 1947 V. Parties appearing: VI. For : None Against: None Action of the Board: Above change not recommended For the following reasons: 1. The applicant, on June 11, 1947, filed an appeal to the Board of Adjustment for a variation to permit the erection of a prefabricated refrigeration unit, 10 x16, in connection with a wholesale produce business on property now pro- posed to be re-zoned. The applicant affirmed that he operates a wholesale produce business by hauling from San Antonio and delivering to cafes and hotels and needs the refrigeration unit to care for produce left after the day's deliveries, and that he proposes to operate his business from this location for a temporary period of time until he is able to secure a location in a proper district at reasonable rental costs. 2. The above requested variation was denied by the Board on the grounds that this is a residence district and developed for that purpose and that the operation of this business would adversely affect the surrounding property according to objections expressed by several property owners in the neighborhood. 3. The applicant is now asking that the zoning designation of this property be changed to an industrial district to per mit the operation of the business from this location. 4. The Board deems that this area is properly designated as a residence district because of existing development and improvements as homes and its generallocation in the City, and that to permit industrial development in this section of the City would be out of line with uses on surrounding property, and with the master plan of the City which shows 1445 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1445 industrial development in the eastern section of the City; and further deems that to change this lot or portion thereof would be a spot zone of the worst type with a produce business in the midst of residential development. (Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Chairman Councilman Johnson moved that a public hearing on the foregoing application for change in zoning be called for Thursday, August 7, 1947, at 11:00 A. M. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes : Councilmen Bartholomew, Glass, Johnson, Mayor Miller, and Councilman Thornberry Noes : None The following report of the Board of Adjustment was received: "ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AUSTIN, TEXAS ZONING CHANGE RECOMMENDATION Applicants: Leopold Cohn and Mrs. Hazel B. Goldsmith I. Referred to the Board by the City Council on : June 19, 1947 II. Property affected: Lots 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 32, 33, and 34, Block 1, Duval Addition, being located on the north side of West 5th Street east of Pressler Street. III. To be changed From : "B" Residence District and Second Height and Area District To : "C" Commercial District and Second Height and Area District IV. Considered by the Board on: July 15, 1947 V. Parties appearing For : None VI. Against: None Action of the Board: Change of above described property and also Lots 20, 21, and 22 of the same block recommended to be changed to "C" Commercial District. For the following reasons: 1. This application is for the change of zoning on eight lots 1446 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1446 on the north side of West 5th Street east of Pressler Street which are located immediately north across 5th Street from an industrial district along the railroad and immediately south across an alley from a "C" Commercial District along West 6th Street, with the exception of three lots under a single ownership facing Pressler Street. 2. The applicants affirm that this property is not suitable for residential development because of its location between commercial and industrial property and that several offers have been made for developing three, lots adjacent to the creek for commercial purposes. 3. The Board deemed that this property is more suitable for commercial development than residential purposes and that the change of the classification of the property might properly be considered as an extension of the business zone now existing on West 6th Street except for the three lots fronting on Pressler Street. 4. Since the above mentioned three lots fronting on Pressler Street will now be hemmed in on three sides by commercial property and are of like character to the other property, the Board further deems that these lots should also be zoned "C" Commercial in order to form a uniform, homogeneous commercial dist- rict.

The Committee finds that there now exists no uniform method, practice, or policy whereby Personal Property within the City of Austin used in connection with a business or profession may be assessed fairly and correctly; that assessments of such property bear little or no relationship to the value thereof; that no semblance of tax equalization appears within this field; and that under existing conditions such Personal Property is not bearing, and cannot be expected to bear, its fair share of the tax load. 2. The Committee asserts that, along with Real Property, Personal Property used in connection with a business or profession must be assessed fairly and correctly, in proper relationship to its value, so that each and every owner of such property shall bear his fair share of the tax burden, no more and no less. 3. The Committee has concluded that the pre-requisite for correct and equitable assessment of Personal Property used in connection with a business or profession is placing in the hands of the Tax Assessor such facts, figures, and items of information as shall enable him to assess such property correctly and equitably. 4. The Committee, therefore, submits for your consideration and substantial approval the attached suggested ordinance which empowers the Tax Assessor to demand. and procure such information as is essential to assure the fair and equitable assessment of Personal Property within the City of Austin, used in connection with a business or profession, by whomever owned, in proper relationship to its value. Respectfully submitted, CITIZENS TAX ADVISORY COMMITTEE By (Sgd) W. L. Bradfield, Chairman." 1454 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1454 The foregoing report was received and taken under advisement by the City Council for further discussion at a joint meeting of the City Council, the Citizens Tax Advisory Committee, and the School Board to be held on Monday, July 21, at 8:00 P. M., in the Council Chamber, to which the public will be invited. Mr. L. Theo Bellmont, Member of the Committee, also expressed to the Council the appreciation of the Committee for having been privileged to render this service, declaring that the two-fold purpose of the Committee was re-appraisal and equalization of taxes, and strongly recommended that the City Council give very careful consideration to the recommendations contained in the report, to the end that this City may stand out as a beacon in this country, and every other country, as being a model of equalization in taxation. Pursuant to published notice thereof, the public hearing on the application of Lester Lang to amend the Zoning Ordinance in the following particular : To amend the USE designation of the following described property so as to change the same from "A" Residence District to "D" Industrial District, to-wit: A tract of land 120x363 out of Outlot 39, in Division "A", being located at the northeast corner of Lyons Road and Cherico Street, known as 909 Cherico Street, and adjoining the H.

Simon Botello, proponent of the change, plead for the change on the grounds that he wished to have a grocery store there and the property next to his has been approved as commercial and he saw no reason why his should not be changed, also. Ruth Dawson Tinnin, by letter, stated that she did not oppose the change provided the building to be erected would be of masonry construction, costing not less than $3500.00, and the business to be conducted therein did not include the sale of intoxicating liquors, or in anyway constitute a nuisance. The following property owners appeared and protested the change, substantially as follows: John Garner, Don Knight, W. Schwarzer, for himself and representing S. E. Weatherly, who stated that they opposed the change on the grounds that they bought their property there for homes and did not want to see it commercialized; that there is no need for a grocery store there as there are two stores in walking distance; and that it would increase the traffic hazard to their children attending school, particularly the one attending the School for the Deaf. All property owners and other interested persons having been given an opportunity to be heard, Councilman Bartholomew moved that the hearing be closed and the Board of Adjustment be sustained and the change be denied.

The following property owners appeared and protested the change substantially as follows: Ben Thrasher, Paul Freeman, Edgar Lee, and F. H. Diekehut, representing the Austin Concrete Works, stating that they opposed the change on the grounds that there was no need for same; that the place selling beer there heretofore had been closed by the law enforcement officers; and, further, that they wanted to see the area remain as now zoned, "E" Heavy Industrial. A written protest, signed by a number of property owners and owners of businesses on leased property within two hundred feet of the proposed change, was received. No other property owner or interested person desiring to be heard, the hearing was closed, and Councilman Thornberry moved that the Board of Adjustment be sustained and the change be denied.

Following the discussion, in which the property owners in the vicinity who were asking for the removal of the yard, were present and participated, Councilman Thornberry moved that the City accept the second proposal; namely, that the City enter into a contract with the said F. W. King for removal of the cedar yard in its entirety in two years, and that the City Attorney and Attorney Sneed draw up the agreement.

At a meeting held on July 10, 1947, this matter was discussed and the following recommendation was adopted: The Commission requests that the City Council defer action on the sale of this property pending a study of the traffic conditions in this area, especially at the intersection of Barton Springs Road and Lamar Boulevard. The traffic situation has been under study by the Traffic Department and the City Plan Commission since the congestion at this intersection has become serious and requires alleviation. The Plan Commission has prepared preliminary plans for the relief of this traffic congestion, which plans are attached hereto, and the Council is requested to give this serious consideration. In addition to the unsatisfactory traffic conditions in this area, the Commission further feels that no further sale of the Butler tract should be made but the same be held for recreational purposes as originally intended, as this area was set aside in the original recreational plan for tennis courts, additional athletic club building, and other recreational purposes.
