. RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Economic Prosperity Commission Recommendation Number: [YYYYMMDD-XXX]: Continuation and Expansion of Funding for Communities In Schools of Central Texas to Safeguard Student Success, Workforce Development and Regional Economic Mobility WHEREAS, the Economic Prosperity Commission is charged with advising governing bodies on policies that foster economic development, poverty reduction, workforce readiness, and long-term financial stability for all residents; and WHEREAS, systemic barriers to academic success—including financial instability, food insecurity, lack of mental health resources, and housing insecurity—directly impact a student’s future employability and earning potential; and WHEREAS, Communities In Schools (CIS) of Central Texas serves as a critical economic stabilizer by placing dedicated professionals directly on school campuses to deliver integrated student supports, evidenced based mental health counseling, and crisis intervention; and WHEREAS, independent economic research demonstrates that access to the CIS model significantly boosts a student's lifetime earnings and reduces long-term reliance on public assistance programs, thereby generating a measurable, positive return on public investment; and WHEREAS, CIS of Central Texas consistently achieves proven outcomes, including a 99% school retention rate and a 99.3% graduation rate among case-managed seniors, directly supplying the regional economy with a qualified, high-school-educated workforce; and WHEREAS, current budgetary pressures on local school districts and municipal budgets threaten the continuity of these essential on-campus support systems, putting vulnerable student populations at risk of academic disconnection; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Economic Prosperity Commission formally affirms that funding for Communities In Schools of Central Texas is a vital component of the region’s economic development strategy and workforce pipeline. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Economic Prosperity Commission strongly recommends that the Austin City Council prioritize, maintain, and where possible, expand dedicated funding allocations for CIS of Central Texas in the upcoming fiscal year budget. . BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Economic Prosperity Commission urges local municipal leaders to collaborate with regional school districts and philanthropic partners to establish sustainable, multi-year funding mechanisms that protect these campus-based interventions from annual budget volatility.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2026-0009 - 11819 IH-35 Zoning – 7.71 acres DISTRICT: 5 ADDRESS: 11819, 11809 and 11809 1/2 S Interstate Highway-35 Service Road Northbound ZONING FROM: I-SF-2 SITE AREA: 7.71 acres TO: CS-MU-CO GR-MU-CO PROPERTY OWNER: Protestant Episcopal Church Council of the Diocese of Texas (Michael Hilfinger, Director of Real Estate and Facilities) APPLICANT/AGENT: HD Brown Consulting, LLC (Amanda C. Brown) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: The staff recommends GR-MU-CO, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit the following uses on the property: Automotive rentals, Automotive sales, Bail bond services, Commercial off-street parking, Drop-off recycling collection facility, Exterminating services, Indoor entertainment, Outdoor entertainment, Pawn shop services and Urban farm. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 16, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 02 C14-2026-0009 - 11819 IH-35 Zoning - 7.71 acres; District 51 of 11 C14-2026-0009 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property under consideration is 7.71 acre undeveloped lot that takes access to the Interstate Highway-35 Northbound Service Road. This tract of land was granted an Interim-SF-2 designation when it was annexed by the city in 2014. The lots to the north, south and east have multifamily zoning (MF-2-CO and MF-4 respectively). To the west there is a religious assembly use (St. Alban’s Episcopal Church) that is located in the county and ROW/Interstate Highway-35. The applicant is requesting to establish permanent commercial-mixed use zoning to develop a retail use/service station at this location (please see Applicant's Request Letter - Exhibit C). The staff is recommending Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District zoning as the property backs up to a multifamily development and will have a secondary access to Mayall Trail, a level 1/Residential designated street.

CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The site in question is a 1.9 acre undeveloped lot that is part of a larger tract that takes access to the Interstate Highway-35 Northbound Service Road. The lots to the north, south and east have multifamily zoning (MF-2-CO and MF-4 respectively). To the west there is a religious assembly use (St. Alban’s Episcopal Church) that is located in the county/ETJ and Interstate Highway-35. The applicant is requesting to annex this site into the city and to establish permanent zoning to permit a convenience store/gas station development at this location (please see Applicant's Request Letter - Exhibit C). The staff is recommending Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District zoning as the property backs up to a multifamily development and will have a secondary access to a level 1/Residential designated street, Mayall Trail. GR-MU-CO zoning is appropriate at this location as this site takes primary access to the IH-35 frontage road and will provide services to the surrounding neighborhood and the community at large.

ZONING & PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION SHEET Agenda Item: Recommendation on Public Access Easements (PAEs) Sponsor: Commissioner Lonny Stern Date: _________________ Action Requested Approve a recommendation to the Austin City Council to initiate development of a Public Access Easement (PAE) policy within the Land Development Code. Summary This item recommends that City Council direct the City Manager to develop an ordinance requiring or incentivizing Public Access Easements (PAEs) in certain developments to improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. The recommendation emphasizes Joint Use Access Easements (JUAEs) as the preferred implementation method, allowing public access to be co-located within existing fire lanes, utility easements, and access drives. Why This Matters • Many developments are internally connected but not publicly permeable Small connections can significantly improve transit access and safety • • This is a low-cost, high-impact way to build a connected network over time Key Elements • Applies to mixed-use, commercial, and multi-family developments (threshold-based) • Allows co-location within fire lanes/utilities (JUAE preferred) • Establishes minimum design standards • Provides flexibility through administrative approval • May count toward pedestrian/open space requirements Requested Outcome ZAP recommends that City Council adopt a resolution directing staff to: • Develop ordinance language • Conduct stakeholder engagement • Return with implementation framework Attachments • Draft Recommendation • Backup A: Policy Concept Summary • Backup B: Illustrative Code Framework 06 Draft Recommendation - Zoning and Platting Commission Public Access Easement1 of 7 A Recommendation for Public Access Easements in New Development WHEREAS The Zoning & Platting Commission (ZAP) recognizes that Austin’s continued growth presents both challenges and opportunities to improve connectivity, safety, and access for people traveling by foot, bicycle, and transit; and WHEREAS many mixed-use, commercial, and multi-family developments include internal circulation elements such as fire lanes, utility easements, and private access ways that could provide meaningful public connections if made accessible; and WHEREAS gaps in connectivity between parcels, streets, trails, and transit stops contribute to longer travel distances, reduced safety, and limited access to mobility options; and WHEREAS cities across the United States have successfully implemented public access easement requirements to expand pedestrian networks and improve multimodal access without requiring full public right-of-way dedication; and WHEREAS the Commission finds that requiring or incentivizing Public Access Easements (PAEs)— particularly when co-located within Joint Use Access Easements (JUAEs)—can provide significant public benefit while minimizing impacts to development feasibility; WHEREAS large development sites without publicly accessible through-connections may create “superblock” …
