[D. Skidmore – 1st; P. Breton- 2nd] Vote: 11-0 [F. Maxwell absent. One vacancy on the dais.] STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Neighborhood Mixed Use land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Neighborhood Mixed Use land use because it is appropriate in this location near single family uses. The applicant proposes to rezone the property to LO-NP (Limited Office district – Neighborhood Plan) for an office use, which is a low-intensity commercial use. Navasota Street provides a local connection between three commercial corridors, Rosewood Avenue, East 11th Street, and East 12th Street. Neighborhood Mixed Use recognizes the role Navasota Street already plays in connecting residential and commercial areas and provides an opportunity for appropriately scaled neighborhood-serving uses. Site Below are sections of the Central East Austin Neighborhood Plan that staff believe supports the applicant’s request for Neighborhood Mixed Use land use. The plan supports neighborhood-serving commercial uses on commercial corridors. Although Navasota Street is not a commercial corridor, it essentially serves as a connector between three major commercial corridors. Staff believes a low-intensity neighborhood office use is appropriate in this location. 02 NPA-2026-0009.01 - Wesley Relocation Project; District 12 of 37 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Single family - Single family detached or up to three residential uses at typical urban and/or suburban densities. Purpose 1. Preserve the land use pattern and future viability of existing neighborhoods; 2. Encourage new infill development that continues existing neighborhood patterns of development; and 3.

Lamar Blvd. at Beaver St.; District 41 of 27 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: October 13, 2026 – (action pending) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request for Mixed Use land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports Mixed Use land use because the properties will be part of a larger mixed-use development that will be combined with properties with frontage along North Lamar Blvd. The applicant proposes approximately 545 multifamily residential units (some of which will meet DB90 affordability requirements) with ground-floor commercial uses along North Lamar Blvd. North Lamar Blvd is an active commercial corridor with extensive public transportation options and is proposed for a future light rail extension. Although the properties are zoned SF-3-NP, there are no residential uses on the property but are being used for automobile-related purposes. The proposed development will help to meet the Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint’s goal of creating 135,000 housing units throughout the City by 2027 with 60,000 designated as affordable for households at or below 80% of medium family income (MFI).

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-85-0149(RCT) - Foundation Communities Inc. North Prosper Center DISTRICT: 4 ADDRESS: 601 West Braker Lane OWNER/APPLICANT: St. Marks United Methodist Church AGENT: Foundation Communities, Inc. (Walter Moreau) ZONING: LO-NP REQUEST: AREA: 4.914 acres The purpose of the restrictive covenant termination request (RCT) is to delete the restrictive covenant that was recorded in 1987 in association with the North Lamar Area Study and accompanying rezonings. This covenant requires that the uses on the property be limited to church and daycare (please see Exhibits C and D). CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed termination of the public restrictive covenant. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 13, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 10 C14-85-149(RCT) - Foundation Communities Inc. North Prosper Center; District 41 of 14 DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: In this case, the applicant is requesting to terminate a public restrictive covenant associated with zoning case C14-85-149, the North Lamar Area Study, and executed on July 16, 1986 that states that the property shall be limited to church and daycare uses listed in the SF-5 zoning district. The covenant also includes a provision that states that if the use of the property as a church or daycare is discontinued for 90 consecutive days, then the owner of the property will not object to a rezoning of the property to the RR zoning district (please see Applicant’s Request Letter - Exhibit C and Original Restrictive Covenant – Exhibit D). In this request, the applicant is asking to delete the conditions of this covenant so that Foundation Communities can convert the religious assembly and childcare facility uses for this property to a community financial center that provides free health insurance enrollment, tax preparation and financial coaching to low-income households in Austin. The staff recommends the applicant’s request to terminate the conditions of this public restrictive covenant. The language in this covenant refers to conditions in the previous land development code (Chapter 13) prior to the Code revisions in 1985 that adopted current zoning regulations under Chapter 25-2. In addition, the staff and the Law Department no longer recommend rollback provisions for the down zoning of a property if a specific use ceases on that property. The removal of conditions in this covenant would permit the applicant to utilize this property with the uses permitted under the existing LO, Limited Office District, zoning base district. …
C20-2026-008 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2026-008 Site-Specific SOS Amendment. Description: Amends Land Development Code (LDC) 25-8 Article 13 Save Our Springs Initiative of the Land Development Code for proposed development at 5811 Southwest Parkway. Proposed Language: Consider an ordinance granting a site-specific amendment to City Code Chapter 25-8, Subchapter A, Article 13 (Save Our Springs Initiative), as minimally required to address development at the site located at 5811 Southwest Parkway. This action concerns land located in the Barton Springs Zone. Summary of proposed code amendment The amendment under consideration is related to proposed development at 5811 Southwest Parkway and associated with SPC-2025-0066C. The property is located in the Barton Creek Watershed, in the Barton Springs Zone, and within the recharge zone of the Edwards Aquifer, which pursuant to current city code and the Save Our Springs (SOS) ordinance, requires non-degradation water quality treatment for all development and impervious cover limited to 15% Net Site Area (NSA). The 3.026-acre site located at 5811 Southwest Parkway is an abandoned mobile home park. To redevelop the site as a childcare facility (commercial), the owner is committed to no expansion of impervious cover and standards that meet and exceed all the requirements of the Barton Springs Zone redevelopment ordinance. The owner is also committed to incorporating additional environmental and resource-efficient strategies integrated into a healthy landscape, clustered development and hardscapes to preserve undisturbed space and trees, use of native plant species, and no use of toxic pesticides and herbicides. The SOS ordinance would limit the total impervious cover for the site to 15% Net Site Area (NSA) (0.4539 acres or 19,771.88 sqft). The proposed SOS amendment requests an impervious cover limit of 33.5% Gross Site Area (GSA) (1.01 acres or 43,995.60 sqft). The site currently has existing impervious cover of 33.9% (1.0258 acres or 44,683.848 sqft ).

Construction and Demolition Ordinance Reform Committee Meeting 10.07.26 Updates to the Construction & Demolition Recycling Ordinance Executive Summary Staff engaged stakeholders over four Zero Waste Advisory Commission (ZWAC) Construction and Demolition (C&D) Committee meetings to identify challenges and gaps with the existing C&D Recycling Ordinance. Stakeholders raised concerns about transparency at processing facilities and how recycled materials are handled. The Qualified Processor (QP) program was designed to eliminate these uncertainties but has had low participation since inception, with only two facilities becoming qualified over the life of the program. This indicates that the voluntary program does not present adequate incentive to encourage processors to become qualified. In response, staff has prepared proposed amendments to the Ordinance that require projects to deliver mixed C&D material to a QP and update the QP program to improve transparency, increase material diversion, and reduce administrative burden. Background and Findings The Qualified Processor program is voluntary, and few processors choose to participate. The City currently has one qualified processor, Texas Disposal Systems. Facilities processing mixed C&D material that are not QPs are not required to report facility-wide diversion or have diversion rates verified. Stakeholders report that without auditing or verification, facilities can claim diversion rates to customers that have not been verified, reducing market trust. The “2020 Economic Impact Study on C&D Diversion Requirements,” mandated by the C&D Ordinance, confirmed that there is little to no verification of diversion rates at non-QP facilities and recommended stronger oversight over the facilities. Staff researched C&D recycling policies in other U.S. communities with processing facility requirements, interviewing staff from Chatham County in North Carolina, Portland, Oregon and Oregon Metro, Seattle and King County in Washington, and San Francisco, California. Through those meetings, staff heard that third-party verification of facility diversion rates, rather than self-reporting, was preferred, and, in some cases, required to remain licensed or authorized to accept waste. San Francisco moved to an independent audit model after finding that facilities' self-reported recovery rates did not match observed performance, and King County partners with a third-party consultant to conduct annual residuals sampling at its designated facilities. Both King County and Seattle staff noted that processors sometimes adjusted operations on audit days — adding staff to sorting lines or slowing belt speeds — which limited the accuracy of scheduled inspections. Staff in San Francisco and King County also emphasized that source separation at the job site, rather than reliance …
C&D Committee Meeting Austin Resource Recovery | 10.07.2026 Stakeholder concerns ▪ Reporting integrity. Some non-QP diversion reports show estimates of materials diverted in a load, based on visual inspection, rather than weight. ▪ No consistent standards for processing facilities. A lack of standards for facilities who process mixed C&D material. 2 Require Affected Projects to Use a QP Affected projects include: ▪ Commercial and multifamily projects that require a demolition permit ▪ Construction projects that exceed 5,000 square feet of new, added, or remodeled floor area Details: ▪ Projects may still use source-separated recyclers (who do not need to be QPs) ▪ Current project diversion rate of ≥ 50% and disposal rate of ≤ 2.5 lbs of material per sqft will remain Benefit: Ensures material goes to an audited facility with verified diversion rates. 3 QP Audits Must Be Done by a City Contractor Details: ▪ Replace the Registered Evaluator (RE) Program with audits performed exclusively by City-selected contractors ▪ Auditors will be assigned to facilities on a rotating basis to reduce potential bias ▪ Current REs may apply to become City contractors Benefits: ▪ Establishes consistent audit requirements and fees. ▪ Assurance that materials are diverted at the facility’s verified rate. 4 Update the Qualified Processor Program Details: ▪ QPs maintain registration if the facility continues meeting requirements (e.g., audits, weighing systems, TCEQ permits) ▪ City-contracted auditor performs diversion rate audit every six months ▪ City posts ADRs publicly on ARR’s website for public transparency ▪ QP doesn’t have to submit six-month reports (City will handle through Contractor) Benefits: Increases transparency and reduces administrative work for QPs. 5 Next Steps ▪ Review proposed language changes ▪ Give feedback on the changes ▪ Staff finalize language and develop timeline 6 Require Affected Projects to Use a QP 7 QP Audits Must Be Done by a City Contractor 8 QP Audits Must Be Done by a City Contractor 9 Update the Qualified Processor Program 10 Update the Qualified Processor Program 11

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: architecture and historical associations. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: Initiated historic zoning on September 2, 2026 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: CASE MANAGER: Austin Lukes, 512-978-0766 NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Neighborhoods Council, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Greater South River City Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Overton Family Committee, Preservation Austin, South Central Coalition, South River City Citizens Association, Zoning Committee of South River City Citizens DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: This property was designated as a contributing resource to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register historic district. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Several Roy L. Moore buildings that retain more integrity than 1109 Travis Heights Blvd. have already been designated as City landmarks, including the Herbert and Alice Bohn House and the Stephen F. Austin Hotel. There are also other examples of Prairie Style design in the neighborhood, including nearby at 1310 Travis Heights Blvd, though this house does occupy a prominent location in the district. Finally, the associations with developer William T. Caswell as well as Elmer and Cora Young do not meet the designation requirements for historical associations. The Caswell Houses, located at 1404 and 1502 West Avenue, better embody the associations with the Caswell family. § 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture. The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of-a-kind building. This American Foursquare house with Prairie School stylistic influences was constructed around 1920. The two-story house features a hipped roof with broad overhangs. The full-width, hipped-roof porch has a long, open span supported at …

Cases passed by the Commission on the consent agenda will not have a formal public hearing.

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: architecture and historical associations. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: Initiated historic zoning on September 2, 2026 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: CASE MANAGER: Austin Lukes, 512-978-0766 NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Neighborhoods Council, Del Valle Community Coalition, East Austin Conservancy, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Organization of Central East Austin Neighborhoods , Overton Family Committee , Preservation Austin, Swede Hill Neighborhood Association, Waterloo Greenway DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The 2016 East Austin Historic Resource Survey recommends the building as eligible for designation as a local landmark and as a contributing resource to a potential local historic district. However, additional research did not reveal sufficient historical associations to recommend historic zoning. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: § 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture. The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of-a-kind building. This wide, single-story house was built with National Folk elements and features an inset porch at the northeast corner. The porch is supported by a single metal support structure in the front corner which is attached to a short metal rail. The front door is set at the rear of the porch, next to a single- hung window. A tripartite window assembly is present at the other half of the front façade, surrounded by ample wood trim painted blue. Narrow wood siding clads the entire house and, while sagging in some areas, is overall in repairable condition. Due to the width of the house, the moderately pitched hipped roof form visually dominates over the property. It is clad in composition shingle and features a …
HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Certificate of Appropriateness October 7, 2026 PR-2026-008188; GF-2026-025308 Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District 1005 East 8th Street 5 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1906 house listed as contributing to a local historic district. Architecture The house at 1005 East 8th St. was likely originally constructed as a single story building, with the sloping elevation of the site creating a crawlspace or cellar to the east side of the building footprint. Since its construction, this has been enclosed, and a rear addition built, increasing the enclosed area of the building. However, the U-shaped form and Folk Victorian elements still read legibly, and decorative elements, especially at the front porch and gable ends, remain present. The integrity of the architecture is strong and the property remains contributing to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair historic district. Research For the first 30 years after construction, the property went through a series of renters, made up of families and individuals employed by various local industries and services, including carpenters, foundry workers, and porters. The first long term owners were Ernest & Marie Kemp, who operated a local grocery. Marie Kemp continued to live at the address after her husband’s death, but by the 1950s, the property was vacant before becoming subdivided for oil industry and other professional offices. A third housing unit was added in 1970, indicating that this property continued use as residential rentals. An overnight fire occurred at the property on November 12th, 20251. Department Comments This application will time out on October 13, 2026. Property Evaluation The property contributes to the Robertson/Stuart & Mair Historic District. Staff Recommendation Grant the applicant requested postponement to the November 4, 2026 Historic Landmark Commission meeting. 1 “Firefighter injured in East Austin house fire, investigation underway”. https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/afd-responding-to- house-fire-in-east-austin-no-injuries-reported Location Map 5 – 2 Property Information Photos 5 – 3 Texas Historical Commission, photograph, May 29, 1975.
