The commission recorded an abstention by Commissioner Maxwell on the Perry House historic zoning item.

Vice Chair Zarzaur read the consent agenda, which included multiple public-hearing items slated for applicant postponement or neighborhood postponement. Highlights read into the record included:
- Plan amendment NPA-124-0012.01 (1106 and 1110 East 30th Street, District 9): applicant indefinite postponement.
- Associated rezoning C14-124-2048 (1106 and 1110 East 30th Street, District 9): applicant indefinite postponement.

- Savour Springs initiation item withdrawn.

Commissioner Maxwell said she supported historic preservation work on the Perry House but abstained from the vote because of concerns about separating tax incentives from historic designation and the potential financial impact to the Austin Independent School District. The commission moved to close the public hearing on consent items; the motion was made by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Maxwell. The consent motion passed (commissioners did not record further roll-call tallies on the consent bundle in the transcript), with Maxwell's abstention noted for the Perry House item.

Ending: The consent vote cleared a series of scheduling changes and withdrawals and set several items for future hearings; multiple items will return to the commission on Feb. 11, Feb. 25 and March 25 as noted in staff readings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Austin - Planning Commission - Jan 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved the consent agenda with multiple applicant-requested postponements and withdrawals; Commissioner Maxwell recorded an abstention on the Perry House historic zoning item.","taxTitle","Austin, Travis County, Texas","taxId",2819,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6671526,"Commission postpones Colorado River protections ordinance hearing; staff flags possible single-family exemption",126,434000,560000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159047-4a57c480806a052f41df5340540c4bcd&start=434&end=560","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159047-4a57c480806a052f41df5340540c4bcd/thumbnail_434000.jpg","/articles/6671526/Austin/Travis-County/Texas/Commission-postpones-Colorado-River-protections-ordinance-hearing-staff-flags-possible-single-family-exemption","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6671526-cd4e3fd1e43b7a3aa5553af12e4743c1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141875&Signature=CvXSPForJdQmzpuMMgRUtkBxQ2WOOw-yZul7jHbGtE0x0UjZYl9KR7GO585iKjd-Y11qmvW-b53sacZQcYWjoZ-zPLe8FQPLCRCj9rv1vQufd7UmVPe0ClJbCHqVQ0lw-7SsOB52wM1BOJ-FoBLzTE5zGtBrC4HF-r4Z9ot29SlehLpwgFXQkDP2nfovqDHGOyr6J0RofbExzr2Op1EhFm7ODhyotOSJHR66FK4ipJ-JC57c44zJHdP8xNng9QJf7YTuaPOIJ2yx-UKRyh00hXtqS-Q0gD27SNHPmL9XCvL-RoNwbahqAidRj0B6gQ-iE~YSoOpYFKVm778iOjvcRQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Commission was informed that the staff recommendation on the proposed Colorado River Protections Ordinance may be adjusted to exempt single-family building-permit developments from new erosion-hazard protections, and that the public hearing for the ordinance is postponed to Feb. 25.

Matt Holland of Watershed Protection read a staff note into the record describing outreach concerns from single-family property owners along Red Bluff Road and similar streets. Holland said staff’s “main focus is on larger infrastructure roads, water and wastewater lines etcetera and commercial and multifamily projects that might build too close to the river without sufficient consideration of erosion protections.” He added that single-family projects are already subject to the existing 100-foot erosion hazard requirement and that staff would likely support exempting single-family building permits from the changes under consideration.

Holland said: “Staff are less focused on individual single family projects which already do have the existing 100 foot erosion hazard requirement… So we just wanted to note it is likely that you the planning commission and the council will consider exempting single family building permit type development from this change in erosion hazard zone protections and we staff would support that as well.”

The item (Colorado River Protections Ordinance, listed as item 13 in the consent/agenda read) was reported as postponed to the Feb. 25 hearing date.

The postponement decision followed a lengthy public comment period in which neighbors described the intersection at Manor and Airport as already congested and hazardous, and said a proposed rezoning to DB-90 that could allow an 81-unit, up-to-90-foot building would back up to single-family yards and worsen parking and circulation. Supporters of a longer postponement argued the matter could set a precedent by removing part of the MLK transit-oriented development (TOD) boundary for a single site.

Neighborhood representatives including Jim Walker (Rosewood neighborhood planning contact), Nathan Kennedy and several residents described what they said were compressed notifications and limited time for community review. Steve Hunt, a long-time renter on Rountree Drive, said the intersection is “one of the busiest and most unnavigable in east Austin” and warned a large building there would worsen safety and circulation.

Victoria Hassey of Thorough Design, representing the landowner, told commissioners the applicant was “amenable to a 2-week postponement” to pursue further neighborhood engagement. Staff said the case had been dual-noticed in part because legal guidance required mailing to addresses within the TOD boundary and nearby properties; planning staff described the mailing as an estimated “35 100” addresses (as stated in staff remarks) and said the dual notice was intended to limit multiple mailings while meeting legal timelines.

Commissioners debated whether two weeks would be sufficient for neighborhood engagement or whether a longer postponement was warranted. A substitute motion to postpone to Feb. 25 failed. The commission ultimately approved a motion to postpone to Feb. 11 (motion made by Commissioner Maxwell; second by Vice Chair Zarzaur). The motion passed 7–3 with one commissioner temporarily off the dais.

The commission emphasized the postponement was procedural — not a decision on the merits — and directed parties to use the interim period for focused engagement. The item will return to the Planning Commission on Feb. 11 for further consideration.

Ending: The postponement traps the case in the usual review timeline: staff noted the application was originally filed in July 2024 and the commission said it expects continued outreach before a hearing on substantive merits.","After extensive public comment and debate over notice and traffic impacts, the Planning Commission voted to postpone consideration of a rezoning application for 2967 Manor Road to Feb. 11.","actionData","errors"]
