EXPIRATION DATE: August 10, 2021 FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: this is not a request for variance from a zoning regulations 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: the triangular shape of the remaining portions of the lots after TxDOT right of way purchase for IH-35 severely limits the size of the site and therefore the portion of the site that can be used for parking, the Waterfront Overlay also limits impervious cover to 70 percent well below the 90 percent allowed by zoning. (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: other lots on the block are rectangular shaped whereas this site is the end of the block that had TxDOT right of way purchased for construction of IH-35; approximately 47.5 percent of the original lots was purchased by TxDOT, irregular lot. 3. The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not impair the use of adjacent conforming property, and will not impair the purpose of the regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located because: the site is on the IH-35 frontage road and is adjacent to commercial property, the site is zoned to allow administrative office use …

Project (SPaces into Places) Re Surfaced East Austin 02.30.2020 ─ Raasin in the sun 1801 E 51st St, Suite 365 Austin, Texas 78723 1 Overview Resurfaced (Pilot) is a program initiative that explores creative strategies to activate underutilized urban spaces. As with many cities the size of Austin, surface parking and vacant lots have historically been unproductive in terms of serving the community versus benefiting vehicle parking for a good portion of the downtown and surrounding areas. Through Resurfaced, we work with the community and strategic partners to re-vitalize these spaces by making low-cost investments that activate the space NOW rather than waiting for big, long-term developments to take shape. These initiatives focus on the city as the ultimate user interface, where the community can experiment and enjoy unique locations filled with inspiring visual arts from local creative and begin dialog about how we can revive the multitude of surface lots and underutilized spaces, ultimately, turning spaces into places. Mission Our mission is to serve the community through urban beautification projects that unite residents and combat neighborhood deterioration. Through the implementation of project resurfaced we will create opportunities for players of all skill levels, age, and background to engage as a community through the sport of soccer, while providing a place to showcase visual arts, community gardens to enrich the space, and incorporate community centered events. Vision An environmentally conscious community space for pick-up games,community gardens, visual arts, and community events. Goals 1. Now 2.

Commission on Seniors Resolution 20200921-03D Lugo Seconded By: Grampp Date: September 21, 2020 Subject: Reallocation of Austin Public Library funds serving older adults Motioned By: Recommendation The Commission on Seniors recommends the reallocation of funds, awarded to Austin Public Library in fiscal year 2020 in the amount of $11,000. The original intent of funds was to develop educational and cultural programs for older adults. Due to COVID-19 older adults are experiencing greater social isolation and digital divide. The recommendation supports reallocating funds for the purchasing of technological devices, such as, software, hotspots, related training and support to reduce social isolation among older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. To the extent appropriate and practical APL should partner with the efforts of the Austin Social Isolation Task force. Description of Recommendation to Council The Commission on Seniors supports APL reallocating funds previously designated to serve older adults through technology needs that will help reduce the social isolation among older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic, including: • Devices and software • Mobile hotspots • Training and support for users Rationale: Preliminary data conducted by the Austin Social Isolation Taskforce suggests that almost half of the survey participants (49%) do not have broadband internet access; 60% of people who currently use technology, said they still needed someone to help them. Almost all of the survey participants (91%) said they’d be unable to pay for digital literacy training or devices without assistance. Agencies serving older adults in the Austin area have reported that the social isolation of older adults is of growing concern during the COVID-19 shut downs. More and more services and programs have moved online, including programming directed at older adults from PARD and other city departments. Yet as the survey shows, many older adults lack access to devices, internet connections and skills to take advantage of online programming.
