College Student Commission Recommendation 20220429- Draft: An Obligation to Reform Progressive Neoliberal “Affordable” Housing in the City of Austin Part 1 of 2 Authored By: Commissioner Edwin Bautista (UT Austin) WHEREAS, the College Student Commission recognizes that housing is a human right1 and does not condone its financialization2 nor its commodification3; and, WHEREAS, the College Student Commission recognizes the term “progressive neoliberalism” to describe the dominant political-economic paradigm of the past half-century and defines it as a synthesis of identity-based social movements and various financial sectors that represents an effort to render capitalism palatable, celebrating virtues such as racial diversity and female empowerment while nevertheless supporting economic expansion and financialization that exacerbates inequality4; and, WHEREAS, the College Student Commission recognizes that contemporary mixed-income housing developments mask poverty through neoliberal policy tied to market based incentives and therefore creates a need for alternative means to affordable housing that are independent of the market5; and, WHEREAS, the College Student Commission recognizes that the City of Austin is in the midst of an affordable housing crisis6, increasing the risk of displacement7 and creating financial hardships8 among vulnerable low-income populations including college students9 and the college workforce community10; and, WHEREAS, the median family income (MFI) in the City of Austin, as determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Development, is $110,300 and increased more than 10% from $98,900 in 202111; and, 1 https://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=373015 2 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0924051920923855 3 https://www.statesman.com/story/business/2022/04/19/american-campus-communities-austin-tx-sold-ny- blackstone/7366553001/?csp=chromepush 4 https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/10/texas-hyperreactionary-neoliberalism-capitalism-keep-austin-weird 5 https://digital.library.txstate.edu/bitstream/handle/10877/12258/WILLIAMS-THESIS-2020.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y 6 https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/central-texans-open-up-about-the-affordability-crisis-in-austin/269-9215788c-8826-4cce- 8666-483eecf9ee72 7 https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2022/04/18/housing-program-set-help-low-income-austin-families-own-home/7318882001/ 8 https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2021/12/17/austin-college-students-struggle-rising-rental-costs/8640704002/ 9 https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/county/2019/08/08/austin-city-council-gives-preliminary-nod-to-controversial- domain-on-riverside/4508362007/ 10 https://rebusinessonline.com/priced-out-adding-affordable-units-to-student-housing/ 11 https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/whispers/federal-income-numbers-for-austin-are-up-by-about-11-percent/ 1 WHEREAS, in March 2022, the median price home price in the City of Austin was more than $645,000, an increase of 21.9% compared to previous year12 while the appraised median market value for all homes in Travis County increased by 53.6% and has risen 78% since 202013; and, WHEREAS, in March 2022, the median rent in the City of Austin was more than $1,500, a 32% year-over-year increase14; and, WHEREAS, a report by HousingWorks15 stated almost half of renters in the City of Austin are “cost burdened,” meaning they spend more than 30% of their income on housing, hindering their ability to pay for food, transportation and other necessities; and, WHEREAS, research studies show that students facing housing insecurity have lower GPAs, poorer health, and higher rates of depression and anxiety than those who do not face this issue16; and, WHEREAS, the College Student Commission recognizes …
College Student Commission Recommendation 20220429- Draft: An Obligation to Reform Progressive Neoliberal “Affordable” Housing in the City of Austin Part 2 of 2 Authored By: Commissioner Edwin Bautista (UT Austin) WHEREAS, the College Student Commission recognizes the University of Texas at Austin cost of attendance for a Texas resident, which includes tuition, housing and basic living expenses, is over $30,000 a year1; and, WHEREAS, a 2019 Memorandum to City of Austin Staff written by Root Policy Research regarding college student effect on rental housing prices also stated that “student housing developments have higher average rents than conventional developments even after accounting for the larger average size of student rentals: $2.29 average rent per square foot for student rentals compared to $1.53 per square foot for conventional.”2; and, WHEREAS, the College Student Commission recognizes the University Neighborhood Overlay (UNO) was created by Ordinance No. 040826-56 and codified into city code in 20043 as a development incentive that includes an affordable housing component4 (S.M.A.R.T. Housing); and, WHEREAS, UNO and its associated guidelines intend to facilitate the development of a dense residential district adjacent to the University of Texas flagship campus, thereby reducing transient student traffic and parking near the campus; and, WHEREAS, “S.M.A.R.T. Housing is designed to stimulate the production of affordable housing for residents of Austin that is Safe, Mixed-Income, Accessible, Reasonably Priced, and Transit- Oriented and compliant with the City of Austin’s, Austin Energy Green Building standards.”5 WHEREAS, UNO has been one of the City of Austin’s most successful densification programs to that extent as it has produced hundreds of on-site “affordable” housing units and more than 15,000 bedrooms in the West Campus neighborhood6; and, WHEREAS, UNO has allowed the West Campus neighborhood to become one of the densest7 and fastest developing neighborhoods in the City of Austin8; and, 1 https://onestop.utexas.edu/managing-costs/cost-tuition-rates/cost-of-attendance/ 2 https://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Housing/Memo%20on%20Student%20Effect.pdf 3 https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=1OMDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA41&lpg=PA41&dq=west+campus+design+guidebook&source=bl& ots=1Nq770gzXj&sig=ACfU3U353hZCKV1Dc72amJ4okJhJF1HtKw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiU_rz95vP0AhW8KDQIHQjIAC84 ChDoAXoECAoQAw#v=onepage&q&f=true 4 https://rebusinessonline.com/priced-out-adding-affordable-units-to-student-housing/ 5 https://www.austintexas.gov/department/development-incentives-and-agreements 6 https://thedailytexan.com/2018/03/19/west-campus-area-has-nearly-doubled-in-size-over-past-20-years/ 7 https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2018/10/25/18-story-tower-sprouts-in-austins-densest.html 8 https://austin.towers.net/west-campus-remarkable-growth-charted/ 1 WHEREAS, the close proximity of the West Campus neighborhood to the future light rail route proposed by Capital Metro (Orange Line)9 supports the case for increasing the allowable building density by expanding the Inner West Campus Subdistrict; and, WHEREAS, the amendments made to UNO in 2014 and 2019 increased the minimum percentage of units designated as S.M.A.R.T.

2021 ASMP Amendments Updated Frequently Asked Questions Throughout the ASMP process several questions have been asked frequently by many community members. We hope these answers help clarify this process and elucidate what the ASMP amendments do, as well as what they do not. • Are you taking my property? • Are you changing my zoning? • Are streets expanding? Why are they changing? • If these amendments are adopted, does this action change the size of my property automatically? • My street is narrow. Where is the extra space coming from for future improvements? • Does this mean that our streets will become “patchy,” such as a partial bike lane that runs into parking, since development might not be uniform? • How does the ASMP affect the design of my street? • How did you identify these Street Network Amendments? Q: Are you taking my property? No, the ASMP is not taking or acquiring any land. Let’s go deeper: The ASMP is not a process to acquire land. The ASMP is the city’s Transportation Plan and the transportation element of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. Its purpose is to provide the city’s future transportation vision and is used for the long-range development of the city’s transportation network through development regulations. The ASMP identifies the amount of land that a property being developed must dedicate per the Land Development Code to promote public health, safety, and welfare, but the ASMP itself is not acquiring land. Land acquisition occurs during the project development and delivery phases of a Capital Improvement Project. The land that is dedicated through the land development process becomes public right of way to provide public infrastructure according to the standards in the TCM. Land dedication is only triggered for certain types of development: residential development that is a greater intensity than a duplex or commercial development. It does not apply to single-family homes going through the building permit process. Properties that are going through the subdivision process are subject to land dedication, but land dedication is subject to Rough Proportionality, which is a legal statute that requires any land being dedicated be proportional in value to the development’s impact on the transportation network. Because every development is unique it is impossible to definitively determine if a subdivided property would be required to dedicate land, but based on current land values, TCM standards, and the recently adopted Street Impact …
Boards and Commissions Recommendation Log as of April 27, 2022 ID Page Number Type Change Proposed Proposed By Staff Response Notes C-1 N/A Street Network Table Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission encourages the Austin City Council that there should be no street level changes in the ASMP except to incorporate the Project Connect system plan as directed by the Austin City Council; and Zoning and Platting Commission Staff does not support this change Appendix B of the adopted ASMP provides guidance for when modifications to the Street Network require City Council approval. “Amendments to the Street Network Table and Map will be processed when right of way requirements change based on project details determined during the project development process…Any modifications that may change the adopted right of way widths in the Street Network Table will be processed as formal amendments to the plan, requiring City Council approval.” With the update to the Transportation Criteria Manual and progress made on the Mobility Bond project development process, the ASMP Street Network was evaluated for additional amendments and these amendments are being proposed for City Council approval. The City Charter outlines the notification requirements for amending an element of Imagine Austin, which includes the ASMP. The City Charter requires posting notification in the Austin American Statesman and sending notification to the Community Registry 16 days prior to holding a Public Hearing at City Council. In addition to the Charter requirements, the ASMP amendment process included two rounds of engagement and outreach before posting the Final Draft of the proposed amendments for the Public Hearing, including targeted social media advertising and notification to the Community Registry. Further notification to individual households and properties is not a requirement of the Comprehensive Plan nor necessary at this stage of the process. This amendment process and proposed changes in Street Level are consistent with the purpose of the Comprehensive Plan. Additionally, significant outreach to properties along streets with proposed projects will occur as projects go through the project development and delivery phases. Notification now would be out of sync with this practice and is not required. The adopted ASMP references Title VI on page 219 under Frameworks for Equity. The ASMP prioritizes equitable outreach and this ASMP amendment process went beyond Charter requirements to provide opportunities for participation through two rounds of engagement with materials in English and Spanish.

Report on Budget Recommendations to Council for FY 2022-23 Joint Inclusion Committee The Joint Inclusion Committee (JIC) made significant changes to its approach to budget recommendations for FY 2022-23 based on comments and suggestions from the past several years. The changes were intended to reflect the mission of the JIC to better "promote close cooperation between Council City management, City boards, commissions, committees, task forces, individuals, institutions, and agencies to increase and sustain equity, diversity, and inclusion in the City of Austin. This year, we began the process by preparing a list of the issues that we believed were most pressing for the marginalized communities represented by the commissions that make up the JIC. We intended to focus our recommendations and endorsements on these priority issues without limiting commissions from making individual recommendations on issues specific to their communities. Accordingly, chairs, vice-chairs, and designated JIC representatives from the member Commissions vetted these issues in a virtual meeting. The identified issues included: ● Affordability ● Resilience ● Access ● Engagement ● Public Safety ● Health The second step was a briefing from the Budget Office on what prior-year recommendations had been included in the current adopted budget, followed by an opportunity to meet with departments to discuss their current year plans. Unfortunately, this briefing did not occur until late January of this year rather than at the beginning of the fiscal year as has been done in past years. This delay put commissions at a considerable disadvantage in preparing informed budget recommendations, given the shortened time frame between the budget briefing and the deadline for submitting recommendations. The six priority issues served as the basis for organizing our three town hall sessions, which began immediately following the Budget Office briefing. Although the priority issues provided a focus for the town halls, discussions were not limited to those subjects. Overall, the town halls supported the focus on the identified issues but provided additional contexts based on how individuals had experienced the issue. For example, while we had originally defined safe and affordable housing to include the related expense of childcare, we heard from the community that family members with disabilities presented unique unmet needs in terms of access and affordability. Additional meetings with City departments were scheduled to discuss possible recommendations and get department input. Those were scheduled so that multiple commissions with similar issues could meet with departments simultaneously to better …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: SF-3-NP DISTRICT: 4 CASE: C14-2022-0022 (1106 S Meadows) ZONING FROM: SF-2-NP ADDRESS: 1106 South Meadows Drive SITE AREA: 0.2045 acres (8,908 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: TALEM INVESTMENTS LLC AGENT: McNair Consulting, LLC (Jason McNair) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends SF-3-NP, Family Residence-Neighborhood Plan Combining District, zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 26, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 12 C14-2022-0022 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The site under consideration is developed with a 979 sq. ft. single family house on an 8,908 sq. ft. lot. The properties to the north, east and west are developed with single family residences, zoned SF-2-NP. To the south, across, South Meadows Drive, there are single- family homes, zoned SF-2-NP, and a duplex residence, zoned SF-3-NP. The applicant is requesting SF-3-NP zoning so that he can add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to the property. The staff recommends SF-3-NP zoning at this location because the property meets the intent of the Family Residence zoning district. The proposed rezoning will promote consistency and orderly planning because there are numerous properties within this neighborhood that are zoned SF-3-NP. The lots directly behind/ to the north of this site are developed with duplex residences fronting N. Meadows Drive. The proposed addition of an ADU to this site will provide for more housing units in this area. The property in question is located within the North Austin Civic Association (NACA) Neighborhood Planning area. The current land use on the FLUM is Single Family and the proposed land use through proposed zoning change is Single Family. Therefore, a plan amendment is not required. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Family Residence district is intended as an area for moderate density single-family residential use, with a minimum lot size of 5,750 square feet. Duplex use is permitted under development standards which maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. This district is appropriate for existing single-family neighborhoods having typically moderate sized lot patterns, as well as for development of additional family housing areas with minimum land requirements. Neighborhood Plan district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning.
