Vote: 7-0. Applicant: City of Austin, Neighborhood Planning and Zoning Department. City Staff: Sonya Lopez, 974-7694.

The motion to have the same compatibility standards for 2900 Manor Road as above, apply a TOD Mixed Use subdistrict to the property, and limit height to 40 feet in the area within 100 feet of the single family homes on Randolph was approved on Council Member Cole's motion, Mayor Pro Tem McCracken's second on a 7-0 vote. A friendly amendment was made by Council Member Martinez to keep public hearing open during third reading, which was accepted by Council Member Cole and Mayor Pro Tem McCracken who seconded the motion.

The amendments to the TOD Ordinance in the LDC would allow the height bonus strategy proposed in the MLK and Plaza Saltillo Station Area Plans. The TOD Ordinance currently requires 25% affordability for projects in the CP&R Zone if height is increased. The amendment would permit height increases (in accord with the proposed development bonuses in the Station Area Plans) with less than a 25% affordability requirement if the City is unable to finance the gap to reach the TOD Ordinance affordability goal (with the developer still required to provide 15% affordability).
