Traffic, Vendors, & Austin's Future Development

Thursday, April 7, 1983 regular

Here's a concise summary of the Austin City Council agenda from April 07, 1983:

  • Growth & Infrastructure Challenges:

    The city grappled with rapid development, evident in heated debates over large-scale zoning changes like the Shepherd's Mountain project (scaled back from 800 to 292 units due to traffic and density concerns) and Morro Vista PUD. A significant issue was reported by the Planning Commission: 125 subdivision plats were stalled due to conditional and uncertain water/wastewater service availability.
  • Housing & Economic Development:

    The Council approved bond-financed multi-family housing projects, including one dedicating 20% of its units to low-income residents. Additionally, several areas were designated as "eligible blighted areas" to facilitate industrial development bond projects aimed at urban revitalization.
  • Vibrant City Life & Regulations:

    Policy decisions affected public events, including a temporary suspension of the open container ordinance for a May festival and delegating parade permit approvals to the City Manager. A contentious public hearing continued on new street vendor license guidelines, revealing ongoing tensions between vendors and established businesses.
  • Public Services & Amenities:

    Funds were allocated for a Brackenridge Hospital expansion and a major Waller Creek Plaza Development project. Minor adjustments included slightly increasing city tennis and tournament fees, and approving beer and food sales at a Frisbee Championship to benefit city parks.

City of Austin (Cause No. 314,795) - pending litigation - Section 2, Paragraph e. RECESS : : : Council recessed at 2:15 p.m. for Executive Session and resumed its recessed meeting at 3:00 p.m. PLANNING COMMISSION REPORT Mr. Ken Manning, Planning Commission, reported on Water and Wastewater Service Availability. He said they are very concerned and "want to relate to Council.concerning the water and wastewater situation in the subdivision process. We have ended with a situation in which the Water and Wastewater Department is making doing conditional approval for water and wastewater service. In the interim situation we have passed bonds, service will be available in a 3-4 year time that will cover some currently existing short-falls from a committment basis. Right now we can look at Southwest A water pressure zone, as an example, and we are over committed according to our paper committment. We are not having problems meeting the current services but with the paper over committment then the Water and Wastewater Department is in a position of having to say we may be able to provide service today but two years from now when this project might be ready to go on line we may not be in a position to provide service...... The Planning Department is saying that is not a sufficiently solid guarantee of service for us to be comfortable in moving the plat on to final plat approval. According to the Planning Department count three or four weeks ago we have 125 plats that were not being approved for final recordation because it has to be done with a note from the Water and Wastewater Department that service is only available on a conditional basis. The Legal Department has expressed grave reservations about recording final plats with that qualification attached and have recommended that we not do it. The situation, as presented to the Commission has been staff not to approve the final plat even though it is surrounded by existing development because of the questionable aspect of the timing and availability of water and wastewater. If they were ready to hook up today we would : : : Council Memo REPORT - (Continued) 12 April 7, 1983 let them do so, but we are not sure we can let them hook up two years from now. Some of the applicants have been pleading their case to the Commission and one of the things I'm concerned about is that we may approve service to one subdivision and not approve it to another. We are beginning to feel at a loss as to what direction we should go and wanted to apprise Council of our very awkward position and have tried to see what kind of help we could get out of the departments to resolve the situation. We have asked for input from the Water and Wastewater Commission and have not really received much guidance or direction." Mayor Pro Tem Trevino asked the City Manager to get together with the Planning and Water and Wastewater Commission's to see what to recommend to Council as a resolution to the problem. Mr. Meiszer said the problem has been worked on and the solution is not easy. Mr. Schwing, Director of Water and Wastewater stated the wastewater treatment facilities present a problem. Mr. German, Assistant City Manager, said the Planning Department, Legal Department and Water and Wastewater Department have all talked in an effort to determine whether water and wastewater service is available to allow applicants to proceed. He said a written report will be submitted to Council. : TEXAS HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION REPORT Mr. Philip Creer, Historic Landmark Commission, discussed provision of matching funds to the Texas Historic Commission to undertake the first year of historic structures survey. He referred to a letter concerning the inventory of historic structures which all Councilmembers received. Mr. Creer asked Council to authorize the expenditure of $7,500.00 which Mr. Lillie had told him is in the budget and available. meeting. Councilmember Goodman said that has already been accomplished in today's に SITE PLAN CHANGES DISCUSSED Mr. Gary Bradley appeared before Council to discuss site plan changes on a planned unit development. "I came before you several months ago and was granted approval for a 33 acre Planned Unit Development, my development company and River Bend Church. Since that time several changes have occurred in the area that significantly impacted the desirability of my original plan. Consequently I've begun seeking administrative approval of numerous changes that will be necessary to the original proposal. I have met with representatives of the City's Legal Department, Public Works and Engineering Departments and the Planning Department. and have been assured that administrative approval is perfectly proper given the circumstances. The reason for my appearance before you today is in response to Mr. Lillie and Mrs. Butler's request that I inform you or the Planning Commission of my intention to build office buildings rather than residential structures. The changes in the site plan will deal principally with roads and access points to Loop 360. Although I am not required to do so I am asking you to give your : Council Memo SITE PLAN - (Continued) 13 April 7, 1983 approval to the administrative processing of these changes of my original site plan for zoning and PRA purposes under the following conditions: The number of lots will be reduced; no structures or roads will be proposed any closer to the lake than in the original proposal; the appropriate impervious guidelines will be met. I would prefer to show you my revised site plan but given the Highway Departments artments tentative plans to build a boat launch and associated parking underneath the bridge, several changes may be necessary in our plan as the Highway Department's plans become more fully developed. Unfortunately, the financial needs of the River Bend Church will not allow me to leave the final approval of this PUD in limbo for an extended period of time. If you feel any action is necessary I hope it will be positive given the conditions I have outlined. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Duncan's motion, Councilmember Goodman's second, approved an amendment to the site plan for River Bend PUD for office buildings rather than residential structures. (5-0 Vote, Councilmember Mullen was out of the room.) CITIZEN DID NOT APPEAR Mr. Charles C.

Smith III appeared before Council to request suspension of the Open Container Ordinance on 6th Street/Pecan Street for May 14 & 15, 1983, Motion The Council, on Councilmember Goodman's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance suspending the operation of Ordinance No. 830113-G (the Open Container Ordinance) from May 14, 1983 through May 15, 1983. (5-0 Vote, Councilmember Mullen was out of the room.) NORTHWEST TRAVIS COUNTY MUD NO. 2. Mr. Homer Reed appeared before Council to request adoption of a resolution approving annexation of 60.74 acres into Northwest Travis County County MUD No. 2. Mr. John German told Council he wanted to make certain the MUD has the proper capacity. He requested this item be posted for action on April 14, 1983. Council Memo 14 CITIZEN DID NOT APPEAR April 7, 1983 Mr. Donald D. Pedigo withdrew his request to appear before Council to discuss installation of water fountains at the most popular bus stops throughout the City. POLICE DEPARTMENT DISCUSSED Reverend Cecil E. Henninger appeared before Council to discuss the Austin Police Department. He said his life has been threatened by a certain police officer, but that not all police are like that. Reverend Henninger said he feels candidates for the Police Department should be tested for stress before they are hired and asked for compassion and love for one another. REQUEST BY CITIZEN Mr. Merle A. Lang appeared before Council to discuss unfair treatment by certain City employees. He said he requested a list of people, early last January, who had failed to pay taxes to the City. Mr. Lang said he has not received the list and thus has been denied pertinent information for his lawsuit. He asked Council how he can get the list. PUBLIC HEARING - INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BOND - SABINE DEVELOPMENT Mayor Pro Tem Trevino opened the public hearing set for 3:30 p.m. to consider an Industrial Development Bond financed project proposed by Sabine Development, Ltd. located at 5th and Sabine Street. No one appeared to be heard. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Goodman's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, closed the public hearing and adopted a resolution that each proposed project under consideration be approved. (5-0 Vote, Councilmember Mullen was out of the room.) PUBLIC HEARING - INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BOND FINANCED COMMERCIAL PROJECT -SABINE DEVELOPMENT. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino opened the public hearing set for 3:30 p.m. to consider an Industrial Development Bond financed commercial project proposed by Sabine Development Ltd., Sabine and 5th Street. No one appeared to be heard. Council Memo 15 Motion April 7, 1983 The Council, on Councilmember Goodman's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, closed the public hearing, found that in compliance with the Rules of the Texas Industrial Commission, the Council find that each commercial project under consideration will significantly contribute to the fulfillment of the overall redevelopment objectives of the City for the Eligible Blighted Area; that the project conforms to the Project Approval Standards specified by the Texas Industrial Commission; and that the Commercial Project under consideration be approved, and adopted a resolution approving the commercial project proposed by Sabine Development Ltd., Sabine and 5th Street. (5-0 Vote, Councilmember Mullen was out of the room.) PUBLIC HEARING VENDOR LICENSE AGREEMENT Mayor Pro Tem Trevino opened the continued public hearing set for 3:30 on the proposed guidelines and procedures for Vendor License Agreement. Dr. Jim Benson, Director of Urban Transportation, told Council that as requested at the last hearing, his department has attempted to arrange meetings between vendors organizations izations and representatives of the Old Pecan Street Association and representatives of merchants on the "Drag". The president of the Old Pecan Street Association satd he could see no reason to participate in a meeting because his organization's position was firm in their opposition to vendors in the 6th Street area. Representatives of merchants from the Drag association did agree to participate in the meeting which was held March 29. The meeting with members of the association and lawyers representing the vendors did not produce any consensus on any recommended changes to the proposed guidelines and procedures. It did serve to clarify the changes recommended by Urban Transportation Department with revisions recommended in the March 2, 1983 memo. Dr. Benson said it is his understanding the association of merchants on the Drag continue to support proposed guidelines and procedures and recommended revisions. Mrs. Lockhart did suggest that consideration should be given allowing food vendors to use the Renaissance Market Area on West 23rd but this suggestion would need to be considered by the Vendor's Commission and would require a change in ordinances regulating the use of the area. Dr. Benson continued by saying, "There appears to be four areas which have not been resolved. The major area of concern is notification of abutting property owners or occupiers. The vendor's attorney would like to see this requirement of notification deleted. We suggest that the wording of that requirement be softened to require that we notify the abutting property owners and allow them ten days to express any concern before we issue a Vendor's License. .... Another area of concern was the separation between comparable businesses. In our original proposal we had included that the vendor stand should not be located within 50 of a comparable business that is food, or what have you, unless we have written concurrence. In our March 2nd memo we softened the wording of that to say not within 20' of the customer entry way without written concurrence. The basic problem in the original wording is that if you had a restaurant on the corner you could require them to be around or 50' back from the back corner of the building on the side street and we felt that was too extreme. We felt the 20' distance from a customer entry way would suffice. On the use of parking spaces we have changed from prohibition of use of and ! ! Council Memo VENDOR'S (Continued) 16 April 7, 1983 recommend language that strongly discourages use of parking places and limit to only those types of vending stands which cannot legally be placed on the sidewalk area. This includes some hot dog stands in the 6th Street area which have a license plate as a legal trailer and cannot be placed on the sidewalk area. We recommend that no parking areas be allowed on 6th Street but on side streets with a maximum limitation of six locations on side streets in the area and no more than two on any of the side streets." Councilmember Goodman asked if something had been done to prevent one vendor from having the majority of licenses. Dr. Benson said there is provision that no person or company shall obtain a vendor's license less than 1,000 feet from a vending stand for the same person or company. Mike Reynolds of Reynolds-Penland asked that spray paint not be used on the sidewalks and that no one be allowed to interfere with the business's. Arthur Walker, attorney representing the vendors, said he feels Council is showing preference for one lessee over another one. Bobby Taylor, told Council he attended a meeting called at Wiley's and no one from Pecan Street Association came. He said he has dealt with the City but never has been able to face his opponents. David West, president, Old Pecan Street Association, told Council that a 1929 State Law gives property owners fee title to the property in front of their businesses and that the City does not have the right to lease out that property. He asked approval of guidelines and they stand. Lisa Lockhart, treasurer, Merchant's Association on the Drag, said they favor guidelines. Carl Hickerson-Bull told Council the vendors on 6th Street help keep the street peaceful Mr. Walker told Council he has researched the 1929 State Law and is confident the City can regulate the streets and sidewalks. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Goodman's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, closed the public hearing. (5-0 Vote, Councilmember Mullen was out of the room.) Councilmember Goodman suggested that Dr. Benson bring this back on the Council agenda when negotiations have finished. !

He said the Task Force is very close to a final deciston, Karen McGraw discussed the case before Council. Mr. Joseph returned to say putting this tract on indefinite postponement until the results of the study are obtained would not be fatr.

Later, Council, on Councilmember Duncan's motion, Councilmember Goodman's second, voted to reconsider with a 5-0 Vote, Councilmember Mullen out of the room. Councilmember Goodman said this is the case where the applicant is not in agreement with the recommendation. Marie Gaines, Planning Department, said that is correct. "They need to make a clarification. When they recommended the square footage to the Commission they inadvertently requested an insufficient amount of land area to be re-zoned to "LR" 2nd and "LR" 1st. They are here today to get straight for the record what they need to have to construct the development. I've reviewed their request and it appears to me that the Commission's intent of the proposed development, they need to, for the record, explain to you the changes they are making." Councilmember Goodman asked, "Do you think their changes would comply with the intent of the Commission?" Ms. Gaines answered, "Yes". Mr. David Armbrust, representing the applicant, passed out a copy of their request. He said it was what "we think the Planning Commission intended to do. The Planning Commission voted unanimously The neighborhood association, represented by Mr. Jim Landrum is here this evening. They have signed off on the copy being passed out to you. We think this is what the Planning Commission intended to do, it is what we wanted them to do, but it was confusing from listening to the tape." Councilmember Goodman asked, "Mr. Landrum, drum, your neighborhood association is in agreement with this? It seems to me all problems have been worked out if the Chair will entertain a motion to approve this recommendation with these changes." Motion The Council, on Councilmember Goodman's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, approved the changes: (5-0 Vote, Councilmember Mullen was out of the room.) 1. Zone office building Tract 1 "LR" 2nd H & A. 2. Zone drive thru facility Tract 2 "LR" Ist H & A limited to pad of facility approximately 500 square feet to be determined by "as built" survey. 3.

Mr. Ridings, Director of Public Works, said Floral Park Road would have access to 183 but it will be 12 to 15 months.

David Armbrust, representing Doyle Wilson, told Council they want to zone the land to accommodate 800 units. The units will be 500 to 900 square feet each. Nick Brown, president of Balcones Civic Association, told Council that none of the neighborhood associations in the area were notified of this zoning application and they are concerned because of the extra traffic it will bring into the area. Cyndy Meek, who lives in the Courtyard across Loop 360 presented a petition of 74 names of people in her area who are concerned about Shepherd's Mountain. She said they want 400, not 800 units. Robert Leonard, member of the executive committee of the Balcones Civic Association said he was speaking for the Lakewood area who want the zoning request postponed until a study has been completed. : Sandy Schwartz, resident of the Courtyard, requested a postponement. Roy Bechtol told Council the density of the Courtyard is twice as much as that proposed for Shepherd's Mountain. Lyle Scott, who lives in the Courtyard, says residents have to enter from 360 and requested ap postponement of the decision until something has been worked out concerning the traffic. : Jay Powell, president, Windy Cove Neighborhood Association, said the average units per acre close to Bull Creek is 2.2 and the request is for 5.4. Council Memo ZONING - (Continued) 26 April 7, 1983 Jim Hynes, who lives in the Courtyard, said he would like more information. He said the intersections of 360 and 2222 and 183 are all traffic hazards. 800 more families would create a lot of traffic. David Armbrust said the primary access would be in the center of the development and not across from Courtyard Drive. Councilmember Duncan asked that the notification process concerning development along 360 be changed to include neighborhood association presidents areas that abut the proposed changes.

Bill Crawford, representing the owner, passed out something to Council. CITY CLERK DID NOT RECEIVE COPY. He then showed slides of the area. Jay Powell, president of Windy Cove Neighborhood Association, said they are opposed. The boat dock with 13 boats will create too much noise and the road leading into the area is not large enough for more traffic. Lee and Claire Oxley, and Mrs. Julian Lyles also oppose the zoning change request. Julian Lockwood spoke in favor of the change. He said it would not be a marina. Rick Wheeler said the land would not perk so there can be no septic tanks but evapotranspiration may. Lewis Brill is against the change. He said there is no place for cars to go once they are down to the lot. Council determined that no improvements are to be made to Rockcliff Road.

Many of the homeowners think their homes .... are under wholesale attack by developers. We want to insure that whatever changes do occur are in keeping with the area. If the developer would agree to develop the entire tract similar to Phase I with no greater than 2nd H&A we would support his request to vacate Joan D'Arc. But the developer has been vague about his plans for that property. Laura Smith agreed with Mr. Dibrell. Richard McKowan, 607 Blanco, who lives across from Pecan Square, said there would be a severe traffic problem created. Max Nofzinger spoke against as did Paul Mitchell. David Armbrust returned to say the project is designed for less intensity than it is zoned for. Discussion followed.
