My favorite green roof in Austin, Dimensional Funds parking garage.

If you imagine the first rendering without the trees, each building has a bunch of surface parking.
Suburbs are for low density, not cities. This is just another “car centric” office park. I thought when they originally talked about this project it was going to be mixed use. Needless to say, if this moves forward as planned, home prices in Hyde Park will push ever higher. |

The proposed site plan does not meet the minimum height (2-stories) for a property in the Corridor Mixed Use Subdistrict (Section 4.2.9.B). Please note that Alternative Equivalent Compliance is not available for modification of Section 4.2.9. U1: Comment Cleared. Response correctly notes that the height minimum applies in the TOD Mixed Use Subdistrict and NOT in the Corridor Mixed Use Subdistrict. The project seems to be moving forward now... |

That seems to be pretty common for US transit agencies. Come on, you can't look at the Crestview TOD and claim it's not grotesquely shaped. ftp://ftp.ci.austin.tx.us/npzd/Austi...in_regplan.pdf (first page) Even within 1/4 mile, there's a chunk of residential properties that not only weren't upzoned, they were actively _downzoned_ (McMansion) during the construction of the rail. |

Hopefully something really good gets built to make up for the lost potential of the original Midtown Commons. It would also probably apply a good bit of development pressure for some of the nearby derelict buildings. I'm glad enough of a urban-friendly council will be around to combat CM Pool's natural tendency to keep this project as small as possible. RFP coming Aug 31 of this year. |

I could see the nearby residential being upzoned (in one form or another) in 20-30 years when it takes 45 minutes to drive downtown (vs. 15 by train). |

Site plan for a 5-story residential at the Triangle - 5629 North Lamar.
Map - this is going at the large vacant lot at North Lamar and Koenig Lane next to the KFC. https://www.google.com/maps/place/56...!4d-97.7259052 ftp://ftp.ci.austin.tx.us/ATD_AULCC/...SS_PLAN_02.pdf |

Also, I'm glad that there's a lot of bike parking (both inside and racks outside), but I'm not sure who actually plans on biking in/out of there and onto Lamar or Koenig...I guess they could all ride the sidewalk from Guad, but still. |

Looking at the rest of Trinsic's portfolio, this might be their most interesting project. Everything else I see in Texas is a pretty generic Texas donut with only housing - including the one on Riverside. This one at least has a unique shape as well as ground-level retail. |
