He pointed out that this area was one of several areas in East Austin that are included in the Council's Community Development District Program; for this reason, as well as the predominant residential nature of the neighborhood, it was recommended by the staff that the request not be granted.

By J. Pat Weaver C14-75-106 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 3409 West Avenue, also bounded by the end of West 35th Street December 4, 1975 From "A" Residence 1st Height and Area To "0" Office 1233 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission, subject to privacy fencing and restricted access as proposed by the applicant. Mr. Lillie stated that the application was located to the north of 34th Street and just east of North Lamar and commented that the area was in transition to zoning other than "A" Residence. The Planning Commission felt the application should be granted in conformance with the changing zoning pattern in the area. Since the intended use of the application would be for a parking lot, the Planning Commission has requested that privacy fencing be placed on the north and east boundaries, and on the east boundary to prohibit access to the residential street of West 35th Street. Councilmember Hofmann noted that she viewed the area and felt that the area was not becoming anything other than residential and noted there was parking available across the street at the Austin Diagnostic Clinic. MR. J. PAT WEAVER, representing Dr. Lee Scarborough, presented slides viewing the structure and noted the design of the building that reduced the impact of office facilities in the area. He pointed out the use of numerous natural plants and preserving the trees. The idea of the clinic would be to reduce the stress of the patient making the environment a comfortable one. One of the major problems at the present time, was the off-street parking situation and felt that the patients needed to be closer to the building to reduce the stress factors. Mr. Weaver indicated that the fence would be placed completely around and access would be permitted only from 34th Street. In conjunction with the parking lot, he stated that there would be an outdoor therapy session so treatment would be in a totally natural environment. By properly designing the parking lot, the outdoor therapy session would indeed add to the neighborhood rather than detract. In response to Mayor Friedman's question concerning the Diagnostic Clinic, Mr. Weaver commented that they were not connected with them. Regarding the parking, Mr. Weaver noted that the employee parking would be entered by West Avenue and public parking would be entered by 34th Street. Councilmember Hofmann expressed that since this was not connected with the Diagnostic Clinic, she would withdraw some of her objections. Mr. Weaver felt that their building reacted to the residential character of the neighborhood. In response to Councilmember Linn's question concerning the planning, Mr. Weaver stated that the planning would relate to the surrounding area by being a totally landscaped garden effect. In response to Councilmember Hofmann's question concerning the existing building on the lot, he commented that it would be moved since there was not any significance to the building. Councilmember Hofmann felt that the glass in the front door was worth saving, and Mr. Weaver pointed out that the door was not included in the sale. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS December 4, 1975 1234 : MR. FELIPE LA TORRE appeared in opposition to the application and felt that there was a tremendous amount of dust being created due to 37th Street not being paved and the existing parking lots. He felt that in the past, all of the trees have been cut and the parking lots were bare, creating a source of dust. Mayor Friedman indicated that this would not be the intention of the applicant, but as Mr. Weaver stated, it would be left as near the natural state as possible. Councilmember Himmelblau asked if a report from Urban Trasnportation concerning the narrowness and surfacing of West Avenue to accomodate additional vehicles into a parking lot that was being proposed had been received. She was concerned with additional vehicles being on West Avenue. Mr. Lillie pointed out that there was nothing in the Capital Improvements Program for this, but that it could be subject to action by the Council to widen it. Councilmember Linn expressed that she did not want West Avenue widened or more traffic generated on it. Mr. Lillie commented that West Avenue connects 34th from 38th and tends to be a by-pass and would continue to be used this way with or without intense zoning. However, with more intense zoning more traffic would be generated. In response to Mayor Friedman's question concerning connecting the parking lot with the entrance on 34th Street, Mr. Weaver noted that the present layout showed this connection. He stressed that the new lot would be for employee parking and additional spaces would not be added. Mayor Friedman pointed out that the traffic could enter from 34th Street to reach the parking lot thereby deleting the reason to cut the curb on West Avenue. Mr. Weaver noted that this would create a dead end situation, and in order to save the trees and have a way to leave, it would take more asphalt paving than it would if there were a pass through situation. He felt this would be detrimental to the landscape quality. Councilmember Himmelblau requested that there be a site plan to view the situation before the zoning was possibly granted. Mr. Weaver stated that he had a site plan with him. Mayor Friedman pointed out that a site plan was needed viewing the one entrance on 34th Street since the concern was what would happen to West Avenue with the pass through instead of the turn-around. DR. LEE SCARBOROUGH commented that when this originated as a clinic in that area, the Austin Diagnostic Clinic did not exist. He intended to continue in improving the area as he had done in the past. The neighbors have been contacted for input concerning the architectural designs to aid in this improvement of the community. He stated that he objected to a building being built across from their location that would be in keeping with the institutional type structures that presently existed. He desired the structure to have a residential appearance and would continue to make it an enhancement. Mr. Scarborough noted that there was a curb arrangement for entrance into the particular lot in question. He requested that the Council aid him in improving the City in this particular area. Mayor Friedman commented that the Council was endeavoring to find a way of not having the curb cut on West Avenue when the parking lot was being used. Mr. Scarborough indicated that he would like a decision reached concerning the zoning as soon as possible. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS December 4, 1975 1255 Mayor Friedman stated that this case would be postponed temporarily until Mr. Weaver could get the site plan. Later in the meeting Mr. Weaver distributed the site plan to the Council. After discussion among the Council members concerning the plan, Councilmember Hofmann felt that the zoning change should be approved. Councilmember Hofmann moved that the Council grant "0" Office, 1st Height and Area, as recommended by the Planning Commission, subject to conditions. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Trevino Noes: Councilmember Linn, Mayor Friedman Absent: Councilmember Lebermann The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "0" Office, 1st Height and Area, subject to conditions, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. J. W. SMITH By Jeryl D. Hart C14-75-081 4613-4717 McCarty Lane From "A" Residence 1st Height and Area To "LR" Local Retail, "BB" Residence and "A" Residence 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED (as amended) by the Planning Commission, subject to a special permit on Tract 1 and a maximum average density of 12 units per acre on Tract 2. After Mr. Lillie felt that this was a significant application. He noted that the application was located in an area that had been recently annexed into the City, and was a new subdivision. During the past few months, Mr. Lillie stated he had worked with Mr. J. W. Smith to develop a subdivision design and concept for a neighborhood shopping center that he believed could be used as a model of good land planning. The proposed development of Tract I would be for a neighborhood shopping center and as shown by the slides presented, there would be included a low density apartment zoning for a maximum of 12 units per acre that would be used as a buffer between the center and the subdivision. the staff studied the advisability of establishing a center at this location, they concluded the proposed center would not conflict with existing neighborhood centers in the area. Mr. Lillie pointed out that if other shopping center applications were received from the area, the same service area technique would be applied and the information made available to the Council. of the staff, area residents and the Council has been controlling commercial zoning along major arterial streets; therefore, Mr. Smith submitted a preliminary site plan that provided very good features with respect to design. In reviewing these features, Mr. Lillie noted the following: The concern December 4, 1975 1236 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 1. A 50-foot landscape "A" Residence buffer strip around the entire perimeter of the neighborhood center except for access points; 2. A maximum of four ingress/egress points along the 2,000 feet of McCarty Lane frontage; 3. A library or low-intensity business use permitted by "0" Office District with no driveway access to McCarty is proposed for the northwest corner, the point most subject to marketing pressures; and 4. An orientation of all neighborhood business uses to the interior of the tract. 5. Generally 65% land coverage by buildings and automobile paving, 35% left for landscaping and open space. Low profile signs which advertise the center would be placed at the entrances, but individual business signs would be near or attached to each business in the interior of the tract. This type of site plan would provide the maximum opportunity for the investor or owner to make use of the property at a major intersection and provide minimum negative impact to the adjoining properties that were still being developed. The applicant proposed to submit a detailed site plan in the form of a Special Permit to be approved by the Planning Commission before construction of the center, or any portion thereof, is begun. It would conform to the preliminary site plan which has been reviewed to establish the zoning commitment. Also, they were agreeable to limit the density of the "BB" zoning to 12 units per acre. The staff reviewed it and recommended the zoning with the approval of a Special Permit that would incorporate the preliminary site plan and the maximum density of 12 units per acre. The Planning Commission supported this recommendation. Councilmember Hofmann stated she was looking forward to the site plan and architectural designs for the shopping center. MR. JERYL D. HART, representing Mr. J. W. Smith, stated that a representative of the Brodie Lane Property Owners Association was present to answer any questions concerning the project. Mr. Hart indicated that in creating the project, they had strived to have a unique plan that would preserve the individual property owner, single-family residence and gain some of the advantages of the planned unit development. Site plans were distributed to the Council to view the project. He pointed out that Mr. Smith had committed the additional right-of-way in connection with the project. The various units on the tract have been sited to take advantage of the topography and the existing tree cover. MR. BRUCE SHUMATE, an officer with the Brodie Lane Homeowner's Association, stated that he lived on McCarty Lane and was directly across from the development. He felt that this corner would be involved in William Cannon Lane, and the association was anticipating that this street would be one wide December 4, 1975 1237 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- enough to accommodate the local traffic. However, the association was opposed to strip-commercial planning. Mr. Shumate expressed their approval of the proposed project for the corner and wanted the Council to be aware of their position of supporting this concept of a convenience shopping center. Councilmember Linn moved that the Council grant "LR" Local Retail, "BB" Residence, and "A" Residence, 1st Height and Area District, as amended, as recommended by the Planning Commission, subject to conditions. seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann The motion, The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "LR" Local Retail, "BB" Residence, and "A" Residence, 1st Height and Area District, as amended, subject to conditions, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover.

The Planning Commission, after discussion, felt that "0" Office District was appropriate and the neighborhood association objected to "GR" General Retail but not to the "O" Office. Therefore, the recommendation from the Planning Commission would be for "0" Office District zoning. Councilmember Linn moved that the Council grant "0" Office, 1st Height and Area District, as recommended by the Planning Commission.
