AARC Workgroup meeting for the AAQoL Tuesday, October13. 12:00-1:00pm In attendance: Sona Shah, Schiller Liao, Kirk Yoshida, Debasree DasGupta. This meeting was essentially to review and analyze some of the discussions the group has had over the past few months with staff from PARD as well as Councilman Jimmy Flannigan. It is becoming apparent that construction on the next Phase at the AARC will be slower, due to the pandemic and other issues. There are also a number of aspects to be taken into account before much progress can be made even on design. These are: 1. The use of the neighboring campus at Rutherford that could help with the parking issues. 2. Building the bridge that would connect the two campuses with help from the Watershed department. 3. The availability of a public/private partnership that would help with the extra funds needed to build a Performance Arts Center along with the extra office space and parking that would be needed.

Resource Management Commission Resolution Supporting the Austin Climate Equity Plan October 20, 2020 WHEREAS, the City Council passed Resolution No. 20150604-048 adopting the Austin Community Climate Plan and creating the Joint Sustainability Committee; and WHEREAS, the Austin Community Climate Plan includes a schedule for reporting and updates, with a full plan revision in 2020; and WHEREAS, the harmful effects of climate change, including floods, droughts, heat waves and wildfires, are worsening in the Austin area and around the world; and WHEREAS, the “Global Warming of 1.5 °C” issued in 2018 by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change illustrates that keeping the average global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius will help to avoid severe effects of climate change, including ecosystems collapsing, that will very likely occur if warming reaches 2 degrees Celsius; and WHEREAS, low-income communities and communities of color in Austin and around the world are the most impacted by extreme weather and pollution despite having contributed least to the drivers of climate change and pollution; and WHEREAS, harmful land use and the refusal to create or enforce real environmental regulations continue to disproportionately expose communities of color to environmental harms, leading to unjust quality of life outcomes both historically and today; and WHEREAS, low-income communities and communities of color must be prioritized to receive the disproportionate benefits of the transition to a pollution-free society to remedy disproportionate harm done historically and presently; and WHEREAS, if we design and implement programs to serve low-income communities and communities of color, we will positively impact all residents in the Austin area ; and WHEREAS, the Paris Agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change set a goal of “keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius”; and WHEREAS, current international, federal, state and local commitments to greenhouse gas reduction fall short of what is needed to keep average global warming to either 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s “Emissions Gap Report 2019” illustrates the significant magnitude in the gap between international commitments and needed emissions reductions; and WHEREAS, the City of Austin is a member of C40 Cities, a network of global cities committed to addressing climate change; and WHEREAS, C40 Cities has developed guidance for cities on setting …

DRAFT | October 19, 2020 DRAFT | October 19, 2020 DRAFT | October 19, 2020 South Central Waterfront 2020 South Central Waterfront Vision Implementation Update DRAFT | October 19, 2020 DRAFT | October 19, 2020 Table of Contents 3 Introduction Physical Framework Financial Framework 12 26 38 48 City Leadership : Implementation Priorities Appendices DRAFT | October 19, 2020 DRAFT | October 19, 2020 Introduction1The SCW District today is a patchwork of 34 private properties, and 1 City-owned property (OTC), encompassing 97 acres in properties (118 acres w/ ROW included). The district is characterized by a Lack of connectivity - Could drop 33 downtown blocks in district of superblocks and surface parking. It is Pedestrian-hostile, with a limited walking grid, narrow sidewalks, few street trees, and fewer streetscape amenities.Scarcity of Greenery - ~20% of district is surface parking. Sparse tree canopy. Lack of open space. No Affordable Housing guaranteed. As a response, the now-retired Waterfront Planning Advisory Board, with staff support from the Urban Design Division, began initial planning and community outreach in 2012. Building on this early effort, The City Council passed a resolution in 2013 to create an official small area plan.Capping this four-year effort, the South Central Waterfront Vision Framework Plan (SCW Plan) was adopted by Council in June 2016. The SCW Plan established a vision to guide redevelopment in this district over the next 20 years. The adopted SCW Plan is based on a district-wide, public/private partnership model that will transform the district by: ● ● ● ● Retrofitting 17 acres of new connected parks, trails, plazas, and open spaces across a patchwork of 34 private properties. Adding over 2 miles of refurbished or new streetscapes, expand the street grid, and promote transportation options to create a lively, walkable and transit-friendly district. Enhancing connections and open spaces to and along the waterfront. Incentivizing affordable housing to ultimately equal 20% of the district’s new residential units. WHAT IS IN THIS UPDATE DRAFT | October 19, 2020 DRAFT | October 19, 2020 ● ● ● ● In order to achieve the Vision, the 2016 SCW Plan set up three “frameworks” to guide future policy, programs, redevelopments, and public and private investments. These three frameworks - Physical Framework; Financial Framework; City Leadership Framework - provide clear directions while also offering flexibility to adapt to and incorporate future best practices, changing financial conditions in the public and private sector, and …
