Rain to River: Austin Watershed Protection Strategic Plan Joint Sustainability Committee Austin Watershed Protection | July 22, 2026 What is Rain to River? Austin Watershed Protection’s Strategic Plan to Protect Austin’s Creeks and Communities Guiding Blueprint for Department Communication Resource – Establishes our mission, – Helps explain our vision, and values – Sets strategies and direction for the next 10 years work and priorities to staff, policymakers, and the community Note: Rain to River will update and replace the current Watershed Protection Strategic Plan 2 Guiding Principles for the Plan • • • • • • Center the needs of vulnerable populations Engage the community through clear and open communication Align our aspirations with community priorities Strengthen partnerships for greater impact Empower our leaders to advocate for our mission Create a dynamic and inclusive framework 3 Plan Highlights • Our mission remains unchanged to reduce the impacts of flooding, erosion, and water pollution • Reflects how we will strengthen and adapt our work to center community and build resilience • Expands our focus to include community voices, lived experience, and shared stewardship as essential components of our infrastructure • Holistic and proactive approach that balances immediate needs with our long-term vision • Equity not as a one-time initiative, but as an ongoing practice rooted in accountability and trust 4 Our Challenges • Climate change is driving more extreme weather, including more intense storms and prolonged drought • Historic inequities have left some neighborhoods more exposed to flooding and degraded waterways • Urbanization and development add pressure to our natural environment and infrastructure • Housing costs are driving displacement of residents and an increase in people experiencing homelessness 5 Community Engagement • Robust and inclusive process that spanned multiple years • We identified stakeholder groups that have been historically underrepresented in our past planning efforts and worked to engage with them more directly • We partnered with local organizations, community ambassadors, and advocacy groups to reach residents in every district • Engagement took many forms—surveys, interviews, focus groups, neighborhood meetings, and community events 6 Community Activation Group The Community Activation Group (CAG) helped shape the content of the plan and ensured that the diverse voices of our community are integral to the Rain to River planning process and Austin Watershed Protection’s work. • Diverse community leaders with expertise in the environment, community health, and disaster preparedness and recovery • Helped shape …
Joint Sustainability Committee Recommendation on Austin Climate Action and Resilience Budget 20260722-006 Date: July 22, 2026 Subject: 2027 Budget Recommendation on Austin Climate Action and Resilience FY Motioned By: Seconded By: Recommendation Recommendation to retain $75,000 Food and Climate Equity (FACE) Grants as part of the Austin Climate Action and Resilience budget for FY 2027 Description of Recommendation to Council The Joint Sustainability Committee recommends that the City Council keep $75,000 Food and Climate Equity Grants as part of the Austin Climate Action and Resilience budget for FY 2027. Rationale: “The Food and Climate Equity (FACE) Grant program supports a more just and resilient Austin by providing direct funding for community-led solutions that enable transformative change in the areas of food, climate, and resilience. The program aims to uplift the experience of those most impacted by systemic and structural inequities, eliminate disparities in health outcomes, and improve quality of life for all.” FACE grants are up to $3,000 to support community organizations that represent and/or serve racially and economically diverse Austinites and have unique insight into their communities' needs. In 2024, $150,000 was allocated to FACE grants, providing funding for 50 different community projects. Projects included food delivery services to a variety of vulnerable populations, support for community gardens, nutrition education programs and more. The program leverages significant community capital in the form of volunteer hours. The program has since been cut to $75,000, but is still making a meaningful impact and should be maintained at that level for FY 2027.

Joint Sustainability Committee Recommendation on Austin Energy Rates 20260722-007 Date: July 22, 2026 Subject: Recommendation on Austin Energy Rates Motioned By: Seconded By: Recommendation Recommendation to delay any Austin Energy rate increase until after a rate case process that includes a consumer advocate and full opportunity for customers to formally engage in the process. Description of Recommendation to Council The Joint Sustainability Committee recommends that the City Council refrain from increasing Austin Energy rates until after a rate case process, similar to the process implemented in 2016 and 2022. The Austin City Council should begin the public portion of Austin Energy’s rate case process in 2027 to better keep Austin Energy budgets aligned with costs, while ensuring that rates are justified for all customer classes and that rate design aligns with established policy priorities. In preparation, the Austin City Council should ensure that Austin Energy conducts an assessment of its costs and revenues. The City Council should direct the City Manager to initiate the process of hiring a consumer advocate to represent residential customers in the rate case and should initiate the hiring of an independent hearing examiner to preside over the rate case in 2027, with the goal of approving new rates in 2027 that are fair for all customers. Rationale: Following a challenge of Austin Energy rates to the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) in 2012, the City Council established a process for evaluating proposed rate changes that is similar in many ways to the process used by the PUCT. The purpose of utilizing this rate case process is to ensure that rate increases are justified, demonstrate that Austin Energy is operating with sufficient oversight and in the best interests of customers, and better ensure that rates will hold up to scrutiny by the PUCT and state lawmakers. Austin Energy has requested and received base rate increases outside of the established rate case process, has now requested another 5% increase and has stated that it plans to request 5% increases for the coming four years. These significant rate increases each year are a threat to affordability. It is also possible that any rate increase that is needed is being caused more by one customer class than another, which would make the 5% increase applied to all customer classes unfair. The appropriate amount for the monthly Customer Charge for residential customers, the break points for the residential rate …

Fire Evacuation Route Plan for the City of West Lake Hills Prepared by: The West Lake Hills Police Department Updated August 2022 1 | P a g e 02 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 81 of 39 This document is designed to provide guidance in the event an evacuation of some or all of the residents of or visitors to West Lake Hills becomes necessary. Evacuation plans are normally put in place to prepare for natural disasters – floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, mudslides, wildfires, etc. For purposes of this document, we will focus on evacuation procedures related to wildfire, since that is the most likely natural disaster we will encounter in the City of West Lake Hills. The City of West Lake Hills is a unique, heavily forested suburban community located just minutes from downtown Austin. With its unique terrain, it presents unique issues when formulating an evacuation plan. Many of the streets in the city are narrow and winding, which presents issues for emergency equipment. Many pieces of firefighting apparatus are large and the firefighters will need to have access to all sides of the apparatus, requiring it be parked in the middle of the street and reducing the likelihood of other vehicles being able to pass by on the same street. Several areas and neighborhoods inside the City of West Lake Hills are only accessible by one ingress/egress point, which also presents issues when trying to evacuate. As stated above, many pieces of firefighting apparatus are large enough to block ingress/egress on narrower city streets. There will almost always be a fire hose on at least a portion of the street. Since it is illegal and dangerous to run over a fire hose, that may mean that, depending on where the fire is located, the firefighting equipment may block the only ingress/egress route for many homeowners. Law Enforcement may also have to restrict access to certain streets to allow firefighters to do their jobs safely. The Westlake Fire Department discussed the West Lake Hills area in their Wildfire Action Plan, updated July 2022. In it, they say, “West Lake Hills is a perfect example of Wildland Urban Interface hazards. The community has not experienced, nor do they understand, the problems associated with a wildland / urban interface fire…Most residents think the possibility of a woodland /urban interface fire is a low probability. Most …
July 21, 2026 Zoning and Platting Commission Letter Case No. C14-2025-0089 July 18, 2026 Beverly Villela, Case Manager City of Austin Planning Department RE: Case No. C14-2025-0089 – 1120 & 1122 S. Capital of Texas Highway Request: LO/LR to LR‑V‑CO‑DB90 Dear Members of the Zoning and Platting Commission, On behalf of the Lost Creek Neighborhood Association and surrounding residents, we respectfully request that the Commission either deny the requested rezoning or substantially strengthen the proposed Conditional Overlay so that any redevelopment meaningfully advances the public purposes underlying the Density Bonus 90 (DB90) program and the Hill Country Roadway Corridor. Our neighborhood supports responsible growth and recognizes Austin's need for additional housing. The question before the Commission is not whether more housing should be built, but whether this proposal represents smart growth. Commissioner Lonny Stern appropriately framed the discussion as one of housing supply versus smart growth. Additional housing units alone do not necessarily produce successful affordable housing outcomes. This site lacks meaningful transit connectivity, is not walkable to grocery stores, schools, or daily services, and offers limited alternatives to automobile travel. Without transportation options and access to essential services, the project risks becoming an isolated residential enclave rather than a complete community. Affordable housing should expand access to opportunity, not simply increase the number of units. The public benefit exchanged for DB90 should therefore be more than the minimum affordability required to obtain substantially greater development rights. If the Commission recommends approval, we respectfully request a strengthened Conditional Overlay that preserves the intent of the Hill Country Roadway Corridor, limits visual massing adjacent to surrounding neighborhoods, requires meaningful affordability beyond minimum standards where feasible, improves pedestrian connectivity and transportation access, enhances landscaping and open space, and ensures that traffic and 02 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 8 1 of 11 emergency access concerns are adequately addressed. The neighborhood has also verified that the existing office buildings on the property measure approximately 44 feet in height, substantially lower than the 60-plus-foot estimates referenced during earlier discussions. The requested entitlements therefore represent a significant increase in height and mass over the existing development. Additionally, approximately 200,000 square feet of commercial space within the existing CityView complex is currently being marketed as available for lease. This demonstrates that substantial commercial capacity remains underutilized, raising important questions about replacing existing employment space with residential density while commercial vacancy …

Our residence is the first house in the neighborhood and sits at a particularly vulnerable location. We already experience frequent illegal U-turns at Lost Creek Blvd/Wilson Heights, vehicles pulling into our driveway to turn around, and unsafe traffic behavior. Alarmingly, we have already had one vehicle leave the roadway and crash into our fence. These are not hypothetical risks—they are existing, documented safety issues that will only be intensified by additional development of 475 Apartment units in our backyard. There is no public transportation available for the proposed population. There has been 1 recent fatality at Lost Creek Blvd/ 360. The only ingress to the development includes u-turns at an already dangerous intersection. It would be irresponsible to approve the high density zoning request. From a safety and community welfare standpoint, I strongly urge the Commission to consider the following: 1 02 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 81 of 4 1. Traffic Study Required A comprehensive traffic impact study must be conducted before any approval. The proposed development could introduce an estimated additional 1,000 vehicles with access to Lost Creek Boulevard. This increase would place our home—and more importantly, our young children—at heightened and unacceptable risk. We already have semi-trucks barreling around the corner from the other new major development. -TRAFFIC BLOCKAGE! Due to the limited egress and ingress of the neighborhood during morning rush hours- the line to leave the neighborhood extends back .25-.3 miles from the traffic light completely blocking Wilson Heights Drive preventing us from leaving and from EMERGENCY services entering. This will undoubtedly be worsened with the current plan to add housing into the immediate area- especially if they are granted access to Lost Creek Boulevard. 2. No Access to Lost Creek Boulevard The development should not be permitted …

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution TRAFFIC & SAFETY Group: Gary, Thomas, Charles, Jeff, Kerri, Mike, Chuck, Ann SUBJECT: Postponement Request – Case C14-2025-0089 – Traffic Concerns Dear Zoning and Platting Commission, My name is Kelley Edwards and I live at 1904 Trevino Drive, Austin TX 78746, near the property proposed for rezoning under Case C14-2025-0089. I am requesting that the February 17 hearing be postponed until May 19th to obtain accurate traffic information. The numbers in the application do not seem to be correct. This project would add 475 apartments to Lost Creek Boulevard, which already handles 8,000–10,000 car trips per day through a single left-turn lane at Loop 360. A fatality occurred at this intersection this past year. The application says no Traffic Impact Analysis is needed – for a project that would increase traffic by 30–40%. That is not acceptable. The application also ignores the Marshall development (48 homes), the Stratus development (600+ homes and apartments), and the TxDOT Loop 360 project – all happening in the same area. Our neighborhood has limited roads in and out, which is also a serious wildfire evacuation concern. Every Monday-Friday, 7:30am - 9:30am and 3:30pm - 6:30pm, the traffic light at Lost Creek Blvd. and 360 is already grossly over congested with day to day commuter traffic. Add in the current construction of the 48 new homes being built, or an event (lockdown, performances, football games) at Forest Trail Elementary School/Westlake High School and you can't get out of Lost Creek. Please postpone this hearing until a Traffic Impact Analysis is completed. Our community deserves that basic safety review.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2026-0032 – City-Initiated Rezoning of Jimmy Clay Golf Course and Roy Kizer Golf Course DISTRICT: 2 ADDRESS: 5400 Jimmy Clay Drive ZONING FROM: SF-3, DR TO: P SITE AREA: 445 acres PROPERTY OWNER: City of Austin (Austin Parks and Recreation) AGENT: Austin Parks and Recreation (Ricardo Soliz) CASE MANAGER: Nancy Estrada (512-974-7617, nancy.estrada@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant public (P) district zoning. ZONING & PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 21, 2026: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of approximately 445 acres in southeast Austin, generally located east of South Pleasant Valley Road and between East Stassney Lane to the north and East William Cannon Drive to the south. The property is currently developed with the Jimmy Clay Golf Course and Roy Kizer Golf Course, a City-owned municipal golf course complex. It is currently zoned family residence (SF-3) district zoning and development reserve (DR) district zoning. 03 C14-2026-0032 - City-Initiated Rezoning of Jimmy Clay Golf Course and Roy Kizer Golf Course; District 21 of 10 C14-2026-0032 Page 2 The surrounding area is primarily characterized by parkland, greenbelts and creeks. Land uses include single family and multifamily residences to the west and south (SF-2; SF-2-NP; SF-3-NP; MF-3); a soccer complex and a recreation center to the west and south (P; P-NP); and McKinney Falls State Park, including the Onion Creek trail system, is to the east (DR). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The City of Austin has initiated this rezoning as a result of City Council direction provided in Resolution No. 20260312-027, approved on March 12, 2026. The Jimmy Clay Golf Course, which consisted of 206 acres, was opened by Austin Parks and Recreation (APR) in 1974. In 1994, APR expanded the municipal golf course complex by adding the adjacent 239-acre Roy Kizer Golf Course. The existing zoning designations do not reflect the property’s current park and recreation services use; therefore, rezoning has been initiated to align the zoning with the existing use of the City-owned golf course property.

ZONING & PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 21, 2026: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of approximately 445 acres in southeast Austin, generally located east of South Pleasant Valley Road and between East Stassney Lane to the north and East William Cannon Drive to the south. The property is currently developed with the Jimmy Clay Golf Course and Roy Kizer Golf Course, a City-owned municipal golf course complex.

Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The City of Austin has initiated this rezoning as a result of City Council direction provided in Resolution No. 20260312-027, approved on March 12, 2026. The Jimmy Clay Golf Course, which consisted of 206 acres, was opened by Austin Parks and Recreation (APR) in 1974. In 1994, APR expanded the municipal golf course complex by adding the adjacent 239-acre Roy Kizer Golf Course. The existing zoning designations do not reflect the property’s current park and recreation services use; therefore, rezoning has been initiated to align the zoning with the existing use of the City-owned golf course property. The proposed rezoning would establish a zoning district that better corresponds to the existing park and recreation services use and apply a base zoning district that would more accurately reflect the property’s long-standing use as a City-owned municipal golf course.

QUEER MMA AUSTIN PRESENTS QUEER FIGHT NIGHT ATX Spring 2027 • A community martial arts event for LGBTQIA+ Austin Who we are Founded in August of 2025, Queer MMA is a free, volunteer-run monthly martial arts program for Austin's LGBTQ+ community, hosted at Black Widow MMA — one of the state's most recognized LGBTQ-friendly gyms. Open to everyone All skill levels welcome. Participants range from beginner to advanced. Real instruction Rotating monthly technique focus - Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, & Muay Thai More than a class Partnerships with community orgs like Trans Education Network of Texas, allgo, Kind Clinic, Queer Black Women Alliance, and Autonomy Austin who provides resources on trans healthcare access in Texas. FREE every month, no cost barrier 100% volunteer-run coaching 321 unique registrations since Aug 2025 10-40 participants per session August 2025 October 2025 Why this matters Safety & self-defense Traditional martial arts spaces are often unwelcoming — or unsafe — for queer and trans people. Dedicated spaces remove that barrier at a time when our community faces rising hostility. Physical, mental, & emotional health Martial arts builds fitness, confidence, and body autonomy. For trans participants especially, feeling at home in your own body is powerful and rare. Community connection Training together builds deep trust. Queer MMA has become a monthly gathering point. Participants travel as far as Round Rock, San Antonio, College Station, and the Dominican Republic to attend our classes — a fight night scales that connection nationwide. Human Impact From 12 testimonials submitted by Queer MMA participants in July 2026 Respondents were 67% BIPOC and 58% low-income “ As a transgender woman I did not feel like I could ever go train at a gym without the sport being taken away from me because of prejudice. Spaces and opportunities like this are very important to me and other queer people alike — especially here in Texas. – Alessia “ I could just show up, train, and have fun without worrying about being judged for being gay. I could focus on learning martial arts instead of wondering if I needed to hide parts of myself or whether someone would treat me differently because of who I am. That feeling of safety is something I don't take for granted. - Alex “ “This group has made me feel so much safer and less alone in a world that is getting very scary for queer people. …
