To: From: Date: Zero Waste Advisory Commission Amy Slagle, Assistant Director, Austin Resource Recovery July 29, 2026 Subject: Director’s Monthly Report to the Zero Waste Advisory Commission MoveOutATX MoveOutATX is a seasonal donation program that helps University of Texas at Austin students in West Campus give gently used items a second life. During summer move out, curbs and dumpsters often overflow with reusable goods. MoveOutATX sets up conveniently located donation stations where students can drop off unwanted items instead of sending them to the landfill. MoveOutATX began in fall 2017 as a pilot program following an eight-month, community-led planning effort organized by the City of Austin. MoveOutATX now partners with the University of Texas at Austin Office of Sustainability and UT Office of the Dean of Students to reduce waste, support local reuse organizations and make the move-out process easier for students when apartment leases end on July 31. Donation stations open July 25 – July 31, 2026, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. • • • Donation station open July 25 – July 27, 2026, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. • Escala Condos, 1000 W 26th St (near 26th and San Gabriel St.) Lenox Condos (across from 2216 San Gabriel St.) 26 West (just south of 2620 Nueces St.) UT Whitaker Courts Parking Lot, 287 W 51st St. The Free Furniture Market The Free Furniture Market is a public event where gently used furniture collected through MoveOutATX is available for free.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2026-0029 (9807 Middle Fiskville Road) DISTRICT: 4 ADDRESS: 9807 Middle Fiskville Road ZONING FROM: W/LO-CO-NP and CS-NP TO: LI-CO-NP SITE AREA: approximately 1.061 acres (approximately 46,211 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: RLF III Central, LLC AGENT: DPR Construction (Stephen Rye) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko, AICP (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting limited industrial services-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (LI-CO-NP) combining district zoning. The Conditional Overlay would prohibit the following 15 uses: - Bail Bond Services - Service Station - Outdoor Entertainment - Exterminating Services - Recycling Center - Performance Venue - Kennels - Club or Lodge - Liquor Sales - Drop-Off Recycling Collection Facility - Basic Industry - Outdoor Sports & Recreation - Indoor Sports and Recreation - Resource Extraction - Scrap and Salvage The staff’s recommendation would maintain the elements of the conditional overlay from Ordinance 010614-29 and 010830-42 which include a 35-foot wide vegetative buffer north and east of the property lines, and prohibit vehicular access from the property to Northcape Drive. This recommendation does not include any vehicle trip count limitations. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 28, 2026: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: TBD 04 C14-2026-0029 - 9807 Middle Fiskville; District 41 of 14 C14-2026-0029 2 ISSUES: In certain cases, limited industrial services (LI) zoning may be used within the mixed-use future land use category, provided the most intense industrial uses are limited through a Conditional Overlay. Therefore, Staff has determined that a plan amendment application is not required for this case. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently a former Frito Lay Distribution center of approximately 50,000 square feet that was constructed in approximately 1981 and approximately 150,000 square feet of paved parking. The previous conditional overlay from 2001 included a 35-foot vegetative buffer to the north and the east of the property to buffer the single-family neighborhood to the north and the east. It also included prohibiting vehicular traffic to Northcape Drive to the south of the property. While limited industrial services zoning is close to an existing single-family neighborhood, this appears to be a reuse of an existing building that has been there since 1981. The site is 1/3 mile north of East Rundberg Lane and approximately 500 feet east …
PLANNING COMMISSION SITE PLAN WAIVER REQUEST REVIEW SHEET CASE: SP-2025-0251C PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: July 28, 2026 (Continued from July 14, 2026) COUNCIL DISTRICT: 9 PROJECT NAME: 815 W 11th Street Office Building ADDRESS OF SITE: 815 W 11th Street APPLICANT: BSF Land Ventures, LLC (Kevin Fleming) AGENT: Bleyl Engineering (Jason Rodgers) AREA: 0.147 acre (6,425 sq.ft.) WATERSHED: Shoal Creek Creek (Urban) WATERSHED ORDINANCE: Comprehensive Watershed Ordinance C.I.P. STATUS: N/A T.I.A.: N/A CAPITOL VIEW: MOPAC Bridge Capitol View Corridor. See Attached Letter. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is proposing a four story office/residential building with a single residential unit on the fourth floor. Structure parking is proposed on a below ground level and at street level. A waiver is requested from the requirement to place a pedestrian oriented use between the first floor parking and the street. EXISTING ZONING: The site is zoned DMU-CO-ETOD-DBETOD. The Conditional (CO) overlay establishes a height limit of 40 feet for commercial uses and up to 60 feet for Residential uses above 40 feet. DESCRIPTION OF WAIVER: LDC Section 25-6-591 (see appendix) establishes parking standards for projects in the downtown CBD and DMU Zones. One of those requirements is that a parking garage must be separated from an adjacent street by a pedestrian-oriented use. Allowed pedestrian-oriented uses are listed in LDC Section 25-2-691 and include residential uses as well as a variety of retail, restaurant and personal services uses. LDC Section 25-6-591D authorizes the Planning Commission to waive the requirement to provide a pedestrian oriented use if enforcing that regulation does not allow a reasonable use of the property or if other circumstances attributable to the property make compliance impractical. The applicant is requesting a waiver based on the size and configuration of the lot and the proposed access and parking layout. The subject site is a mid-block parcel, approximately 50 feet wide with frontage on 11th Street to the north and to the alley on the south. The proposed building extends to the east and west property lines. A below-ground parking level 10 spaces (including one ADA space) be accessed from the alley. Ten enclosed parking spaces (including 6 compact spaces) would be accessed at street level from 11th Street. The two-way driveway access to the first floor parking is 18 feet wide. As designed, the driveway is generally central to the building, with a 20 foot wide stairwell and elevator lobby to the west, and …
Board/Commission Questionnaire: Annual Internal Review 1. Board or commission name. a. Planning Commission 2. Have the board/commission's actions throughout the year complied with City Council directives and bylaws? This should address all elements of the board's mission statement as provided in the relevant sections of the City Code. a. Yes 3. How many recommendations did your board or commission approve? a. 4 4. Please list the recommendation numbers. a. 20250923-013; 20260324-017; two recommendations approved but still pending final versions. 5. Which recommendations are closely aligned to the organization's core mission and why? a. 20250923-013: Recommending amendments to Title 25 so non-residential and mixed-use projects can use the DB90 and DBETOD density bonus programs is a direct exercise of the Commission's Charter Article X(B)(ii) duty to review and recommend on proposed land development regulations, and it advances the comprehensive plan's compact-and-connected growth goals by making density bonus areas walkable and mixed-use rather than residential-only. b. September 9, 2025 (Housing-Related Code Amendments): Recommending that Council harmonize the Land Development Code with the City's technical codes and criteria manuals so that HOME Phases 1 and 2 produce the housing capacity Council intended falls squarely within Charter Article X(B)(ii) and X(E), which charge the Commission with recommending on land development regulations and monitoring the effectiveness of adopted policy, and it serves the housing affordability goals at the center of the comprehensive plan. 6. Which recommendations are adjacent to the organization's core mission and why? a. 20260324-017: Requesting FY26-27 funding for commissioner training, more usable staff reports for rezoning and NPA cases, a technical focus group on code amendments, a community liaison for the zoning process, and an Ordinance and Policy Support Office builds the Commission's and the City's capacity to do land-use work well rather than performing that work directly, and will improve the quality of the Commission's recommendations to Council. b. February 10, 2026 (Online Message Board): Recommending that Council authorize and staff an online message board for Planning Commissioners does not itself review a plan, regulation, or plat, but it strengthens how the Commission deliberates between meetings and how transparently it does so under State law, supporting its function as an advisory body to Council under Charter Article X(H). 7. Please share any further context that could support or explain your recommendations. a. The Commission's recommendations this period share a common throughline: ensuring that land use policy Council has already adopted actually …
