CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Ayes: Councilmen Bartholomew, Johnson, Mayor Miller Noes: None Absent: Councilman Glass The following report of the Board of Adjustment was received: #ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AUSTIN, TEXAS ZONING CHANGE RECOMMENDATION 842 Applicant: W. A. Darnwell, by Herman Jones, Attorney Referred to the Board by the City Council on: September 23, 1948 Property affected: Lot 24, Block 9. Rosedown Addition, located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Hancock Drive and the Burnet Road, 2101 Hancock Drive. ΙΙΙ. To be changed From: #ca Commercial District To : C-18 Commercial District Considered by the Board on : October 5, 1948 IV. V. Parties appearings For VI. : Herman Jones, presenting written petition signed by 14 property owners, and W. A. Darnwell Against: Mr. and Mrs. Frank B. Martin, presenting written petition signed by 101 property owners, Mr. and Mrs.E.S.Johnson, Mary Hancock, Mrs. Earl Martin, Cecil Catchings, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Murray, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jones, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. McMullen, Rev. Earl Martin, Rev. and Mrs. Paul Argo, Mr. and Mrs. Freda Argo. There was communication from B. S. Littlepage in opposition to the change. Action of the Board: Not recommended For the following reasons: 1. The above application is for the change of the present "C" Commercial District classification of Lot No. 24 at the southwest corner of the intersection of Hancock Drive and Burnet Road, being of a triangular shape with a depth of 150 feet from Burnet Road and 130.858 from Hancock Drive to a "C-1 Commercial District classification. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 243 2. The purpose of this application is to enable the present cafe occupied to sell beer and wine in connection with meals on the plea that such a change would increase the business of the cafe and meet a frequent demand for these beverages by customers. 3. An examination of the zoning maps showed this lot to be located in a continuous "C" Commercial zone along Burnet Road with a depth of 150 feet a large portion of which has not been developed for commercial purposes and still occupied by residences. The area adjacent to this lot to the west is a large "A" Residence District which is rapidly developing to residential uses. The adjacent triangular lot to the west facing on Hancock Drive and Lynnwood Street is now city property upon which a fire station is being erected. There are now about three non-conforming establishments on Burnet Road in the vicinity of this lot which now dispense beer and wine. 4. After the hearing held by the Board of Adjustment on October 5,1948, the applicant presented a petition bearing 14 names expressing no objection to this change, only four of which are located within 200 feet of this property. At this hearing there also appeared. a large number of property owners and residents in this neighborhood vigorously expressing objection to this change and presenting a petition signed by 101 persons who are opposed to the sale of alcoholic beverages in this location. The opposition to this change contended that the present cafe is well conducted and an asset to the community and has prospered without the sale of beer but that to change the zone would adversely affect the neighborhood and introduce additional traffic congestion and hazard due to the fact that Hancock Drive and Burnet Road are major arteries of traffic which is constantly increasing and that the construction of the fire station would further affect traffic conditions and that there is no need for such a change except for the personal gain of the present operator of the cafe. 5. After careful consideration of conditions and circumstances surrounding the property, inspection of the site by the members of the Board, and the overwhelming disapproval of this neighborhood to further introduction of the sale of intoxicating beverages in this neighborhood, and the fact that this change in effect on one lot represents a spot zone not in response to any public demand or necessity but for the sole benefit of the present operation, the Board deemed that it would not be to the best interest of this community nor in accordance with any zoning plan to grant this application. (Sgd) H. F. Kuehne Chairman. Councilman Johnson moved that a public hearing on the above application of W. A. Darnwell for change in zoning be called for Thursday, October 28, 1948, at 11:00 A. M.
