Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: November 10, 2026 – To be reviewed by the Water and Wastewater Commission. Additional Backup Information: In 2017 Texas Parks and Wildlife detected zebra mussels in several locations in Lake Austin.

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 02 NPA-2026-0009.01 - Wesley Relocation Project; District 12 of 38 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. LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Single family - Single family detached …

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 27, 2026: Granted the staff's request for a postponement to November 10, 2026 (10-0); Bedrosian-1st, Haney-2nd. November 10, 2026 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ISSUES: On January 2, 2025, staff published the Comprehensive Analysis of Density Bonus Programs report. The report evaluated the performance of existing density bonus programs and recommended changes to improve their overall performance. One of the major recommendations coming out of this study was to combine, streamline, and consolidate density bonus programs to the extent practicable. Therefore, on June 5, 2025, Council approved Resolution No. 20250605-080 that initiated land development code amendments to create a variety of density bonus combining districts that consider: Bonus height entitlements that are more or less than 30 feet; Minimum affordability requirements that are calibrated and informed by the • • Comprehensive Analysis of Density Bonus Programs report; 07 C14-2026-0047 - 3405 and 3405 ½ Steck Ave Rezoning; District 71 of 21 Additional community benefit requirements such as ground floor activation, • minimum commercial and civic space, onsite beneficial reuse, updated design standards, and others; • • Modified compatibility regulations; and Redevelopment requirements, including considering one-to-one unit replacement. On September 1, 2025, a slate of new state laws went into effect that were passed during the 89th Legislative Session, including Senate Bill 840 (SB 840). SB 840 aims to increase housing stock by allowing more market-rate housing to be built on most property zoned commercial, by right. This new legislation reduces incentives to participate in voluntary density bonus programs for many properties, unless an applicant seeks additional modifications of development standards such as additional height. This may result in fewer income-restricted affordable housing units being included in new developments. However, the City remains committed to growing affordable housing availability using a variety of tools, including but not limited to density bonus programs. The Citywide Density Bonus Program code amendment is intended to …

Please see Updated Summary Letter – Exhibit D. On January 2, 2025, staff published the Comprehensive Analysis of Density Bonus Programs report. This report evaluated the performance of existing density bonus programs and recommended changes to improve their overall performance. One of the major recommendations coming out of this study was to combine, streamline, and consolidate density bonus programs to the extent practicable. Bonus height entitlements that are more or less than 30 feet; Minimum affordability requirements that are calibrated and informed by the Therefore, on June 5, 2025, Council approved Resolution No. 20250605-080 that initiated land development code amendments to create a variety of density bonus combining districts that consider: • • Comprehensive Analysis of Density Bonus Programs report; Additional community benefit requirements such as ground floor activation, • minimum commercial and civic space, onsite beneficial reuse, updated design standards, and others; • • Modified compatibility regulations; and Redevelopment requirements, including considering one-to-one unit replacement.

CASE NUMBER: C14H-2026-0072 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET HLC DATE: October 7, 2026 PC DATE: November 10, 2026 CC Date: APPLICANT: Gabe Joseph, Joseph Design Build HISTORIC NAME: Elmer and Cora Young House WATERSHED: Lady Bird Lake ADDRESS OF PROPOSED ZONING CHANGE: 1109 Travis Heights Boulevard, Austin, TX 78704 ZONING CHANGE: SF-3-NP to SF-3-H-NP COUNCIL DISTRICT: 9 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Do not recommend historic zoning, as the property does not meet the required criteria. QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: architecture and historical associations. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: Recommend historic zoning on the basis of meeting the following criteria: architecture, historical associations, and community value (8-0) PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: CASE MANAGER: Austin Lukes, 512-978-0766 NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Neighborhoods Council, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Greater South River City Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Overton Family Committee , Preservation Austin, South Central Coalition, South River City Citizens Association, Zoning Committee of South River City Citizens DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: This property was designated as a contributing resource to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register historic district. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: While there are merits to the property that may meet the architecture criteria for landmark designation, there are several examples of existing structures designed by architect Roy L. Moore that have already been designated in Austin that retain more integrity than 1109 Travis Heights Blvd. There are also other examples in the neighborhood of Prairie Style features that make the property less unique, though it does occupy a prominent location in the district. Finally, the associations with developer William T. Caswell as well as Elmer & Cora Young have been determined to not meet the designation requirements for historical associations. The Caswell Houses, located at 1404 & 1502 West Avenue, better embody the associations with the Caswell family. § 25-2-352(3)(c)(i) Architecture. The property embodies the distinguishing characteristics of a recognized architectural style, type, or method of construction; exemplifies technological innovation in design or construction; displays high artistic value in representing ethnic or folk art, architecture, or construction; represents a rare example of an architectural style in the city; serves as an outstanding example of the work of an architect, builder, or artisan who significantly contributed to the development of the city, state, or nation; possesses cultural, historical, or architectural value as a particularly fine or unique example of a utilitarian or vernacular structure; or represents an architectural curiosity or one-of-a-kind building.
