Additional Backup Information: Ullrich Water Treatment Plant was commissioned in 1969 and supplies a large portion of potable water to the City of Austin. Ullrich Water Treatment Plant currently uses gaseous chlorine and anhydrous ammonia disinfection systems, which requires the bulk delivery, storage and handling of these hazardous chemicals.

This project will eliminate the need for the use of gaseous chlorine and anhydrous ammonia for disinfection, representing a major safety improvement for the City and the surrounding community. A critical component of this project is the need to maintain operation of the plant, including disinfection processes, throughout these improvements. A temporary sodium hypochlorite storage and feed system will be utilized while the gaseous chlorine system is demolished and replaced with the OSGSH system. …

MBE/WBE: Sole source contracts are exempt from the City Code Chapter 2-9B (Minority-Owned and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Procurement Program); therefore, no subcontracting goals were established. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: October 14, 2026 - To be reviewed by the Austin Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: The contract will provide essential toxicity testing, biological health assessments, and low level propylene glycol analysis needed to monitor the operational health of the City’s wastewater treatment plants and ensure compliance with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality discharge permits. These tests identify inhibitory compounds, evaluate microbial conditions, and support industrial discharge management at Austin Water facilities. The required testing methods rely on specialized laboratory capabilities not available within Austin Water. These services are necessary to detect potential impacts from industrial users, identify sources of biological inhibitors, and mitigate treatment process disruptions. These services are sole source because Hydro Solutions, Inc d/b/a Effluency, LLC is the only laboratory that can offer biomass characterization testing that includes oxygen uptake rate, adenosine triphosphate generation rate, exocellular polymer analysis, quantification of ammonia oxidizing bacteria and nitrite oxidizing bacteria using most probable number testing, and floc size distribution. The contract replaces a contract expiring on November 17, 2027. The contract is being replaced early due to increased demand for these services. The recommended contractor is the current provider for these services. If a contract is not secured, the City will lose critical monitoring capacity, increasing the risk of undetected inhibiting compounds, operational instability, and potential violations of state issued discharge permits.

[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.

The conditional overlay would prohibit the following 5 uses: - Bed and Breakfast (Group 1) - Bed and Breakfast (Group 2) - Medical Offices exceeding 5,000 square feet gross floor area - Medical Offices not exceeding 5,000 square feet gross floor area - Club or Lodge For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: There is a valid petition on this case at 58.39% of property owners, by area, within 200 feet of the rezoning.

It is approximately 500 feet south of East 12th Street which is an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor and approximately 600 feet north of East 11th Street which is an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor and part of the ASMP Transit …

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). Plan Amendment Application 04 NPA-2026-0026.01 – N.
