1703 Alameda Historic Landmark Commission Response Introduction We are pleased to submit this architectural proposal for a modest guest house designed in partnership with well known local architects for a young family living in the adjacent home. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to make the meeting, but we remain fully committed to the process. The homeowners—Austin residents with two small children—purchased the neighboring property to create a dedicated space for their elderly mother as well as enhance their outdoor living environment with a park-like setting. Jack Boothe Construction built their current home and has now been entrusted to lead this project as well, with the shared goal of creating a thoughtful, cohesive addition to their property. Over the past decade, Jack Boothe Construction completed several high-quality homes in Travis Heights. We have the reputation to always build with great care to complement the fabric of the neighborhood. We welcome thoughtful feedback from the Committee that can help refine and improve this plan as we continue our commitment to building responsibly and respectfully within this historic community. Scale, massing, and height • HLC Comment: Generally, the neighbors on the same street have single-story houses or, if there is a second floor, it is setback from the front or visually hidden by a side-gabled roof. There is no setback in this design, nor does the plan call for breaking up the height visually from the ground to the top of the second story. • Reply: Both adjacent properties—one of which is a contributing structure—are two-story homes. The proposed second story at 1703 Alameda has been carefully designed with thoughtful setbacks to reduce visual impact: 12 feet from the leftmost forward wall, 4 feet from the front of the porch, and 13 feet from the rightmost portion of the front-facing wall. Additionally, the front porch features its own distinct roofline, which further helps to break up the vertical massing and soften the visual transition from the ground level to the second story. • HLC Comment: The massing features the two-story central mass with a projecting front garage and a corner bedroom on the ground floor, along with a kitchen and living room at the rear.” • Reply: The two-story central mass of 1703 Alameda is set back from the projecting front-facing garage and the corner bedroom on the ground floor. A covered front porch, positioned between these two elements, further breaks up the front …
2024 F1 USGP ECONOMIC IMPACT 2024 Total Estimated Impacts to Texas It is estimated, based on the online attendee survey that was administered immediately following the 2023 F1 USGP event, that OOS attendees will directly spend over $472.6 million in Texas because of the 2024 F1 USGP at Circuit of the Americas. To capture this spending data, survey respondents were asked questions about their spending on various spending categories, such as hotel rentals, car rentals, food and beverage spending, retail shopping, entertainment spending, etc. As seen in Table 7, the total spending at the event, including indirect and induced effects, should be close to $1.134 billion. 2024 F1 USGP Estimated Total Expenditures Direct Expenditures Indirect Expenditures Induced Expenditures Total Expenditures Sales & Use* $316,015,332 $209,267,534 $294,145,720 $819,428,586 Rental Car Hotel Title 5, ABC Mixed Beverage Total $11,817,922 $67,741,426 $38,482,192 $38,567,513 $2,755,399 $22,461,933 $16,056,756 $16,125,269 $4,608,510 $36,183,886 $30,217,030 $30,335,820 $19,181,831 $126,387,246 $84,755,978 $85,028,603 $472,624,384 $266,666,892 $395,490,967 $1,134,782,244 Table 7: Estimated direct, indirect and induced expenditures used to estimate incremental tax receipt increases due to 2024 event Sources: AE, COTA, IMPLAN * - Excludes airfare expenditures 2024 F1 US Grand Prix Economic Impact: MERP | 8 Concerts 1,247 COTA Operations 9,580 X Games 2,252 MotoGP 5,692 $148.9 IN TAX IMPACTS 2.6 MILLION HOTEL STAYS FORMULA 1 TOTAL ATTENDANCE Formula 1 59,047 83,187 Full-Time Equivalent Jobs Created or Supported 1.1 Million F1 Attendees 719,191 Came from Outside of Texas 150,000 100,000 50,000 0 Questions?
