Austin's Views, Growth, and City Deals

Thursday, November 7, 1985 regular

Here’s a snapshot of the Austin City agenda from November 7, 1985:

  • Protecting Austin's Skyline:

    The Council officially refined and passed amendments to the Capitol View Corridors ordinance, adjusting for structures while maintaining protected views of the State Capitol.
  • Navigating Major Development & Traffic:

    A significant mixed-use development (the Glastron tract) was approved despite public concerns about increasing traffic on major roadways like Research Blvd, with phased development tied to future traffic capacity.
  • Investing in Community & Healthcare:

    The City moved forward with housing bond projects totaling over $13 million, including provisions for low-income families, and approved a joint venture for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Center.
  • Citizen Engagement & Spending Scrutiny:

    Public discussions covered topics like city-funded abortions and neighborhood club operations. A contentious debate also arose over a proposed computer printer contract, with calls for rebidding to ensure fair competition and potential cost savings.

Armbrust 9123-9157 U.S. 183 9110-9200 Burnet From "LI" and "CS-1" To LI-FDA RECOMMENDED subject to PDA contract. FIRST READING ONLY Marie Gaines reviewed. She said the applicant agrees to the TIA study as recommended, Ms. Gaines pointed out the PDA agreement has not been completed, "We are confident we can finalize that agreement in the next week." David Armbrust said this area is commonly known as the Glastron tract and has subdivision and zoning which would permit construction on the tract of 1.7-million square feet of industrial or office/commercial type development. The applicant is proposing a mixed use project, no residential, but hotels, offices, retail, restaurants. The height will be back away from the roadways. Councilmember Humphrey asked what the traffic count at that intersection is now. He was told Research carries 85,000 vehicles a day. When the build out is complete it will rise to 100,000 vehicles a day. Nick Brown representing Balcones Civic Association said they have concern with seven items. First, there is no firm PDA agreement. The intersection design at Burnet and 183 should be improved for more traffic and building should only be allowed when the TIA indicates Council Меmо 20 11/7/85 levels of service of E or better. David Van, president, North Austin Civic Association, said the proposed project would be a big problem for their area. Too much traffic. Mr. Armbrust told Council the property is already zoned and subdivided. Motion Councilmember Shipman made a motion to close the public hearing and stated for the record "I would hope that in our older areas that were zoned years ago industrial that are now no longer true industrial sites are the kinds of things we have all over, and the opportunity to have no more intensification than you would have under the existing zoning and tie it together in one development project with single entity ownership and to integrate your low grade planning and phase the development in through a contract, I think, is a major step forward for the City. I think we ought to do all we can to encourage more comprehensive zoning of this nature. When owners do have large tracts they could just immediately pull building permits on the smaller tracts and bring it in incrementally, or they could just bring it in incrementally, period, for development and I think this is an improvement and I am impressed with the PDA contract and sorry the wording is not final today. I think this is a real leap forward. "I move approval of the PDA subject to the PDA contract being approved by the Council." Councilmember Urdy seconded the motion. Councilmember Humphrey said the zoning is inappropriate because there is too much traffic and more development will cause a tremendous problem. Councilmember Urdy said the PDA would require phase-in of the development according to traffic constraints of the area. : ! i 1 Roll Call : 5-1 Vote, Councilemmber Humphrey voted No, Councilmember Rose absent.
