CODE AMENDMENT INITIATION REVIEW SHEET Amendment: Initiate an amendment to Title 25 of the City Code regarding floodplain regulations. Description: In November 2019, City Council approved revisions to the floodplain regulations to better protect our residents from flooding in response to a new rainfall study published by the National Weather Service called Atlas 14. Part of that process included an exemption for residential redevelopment. As an extension of that process, we would like to develop language for a commercial redevelopment exemption. The proposed code amendment would allow a commercial property to redevelop in a manner that reduces flood risks compared to existing conditions. Proposed Language: TBD Background: Initiation recommended by Codes and Ordinances Subcommittee on November 17, 2021.

Commissioner Azhar Questions: 1. Is the Planning Commission required to take action on this item at the December 14 meeting or can any potential action be postponed to allow for more discussion and time for consideration? Staff Response: Because the applicant invoked Section 25-2-282(E) of the Land Development Code, the case must be heard on the scheduled date. 2. Backup from the Small Area Planning Joint Committee meeting on December 8 states, "The Framework Vision Plan provides estimates of affordable housing contributions by tract, with this tract estimated as providing 4% of on-site units as affordable." Can staff please help me in locating this detail on the plan, I am unable to find it. Staff Response: The details of affordable housing can be found in the Appendices to the SCW Vision Framework Plan. Please go to the SCW Initiative Webpage at: https://www.austintexas.gov/department/south-central- waterfront-initiative for links to download the Vision Framework Plan and Appendices. Within the Appendices, please go to page 49 for the “Test Scenario Results”. The Affordable Housing component is found midway down on the page. This PUD contains buildings S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5 (see page 48) from the plan. From the Test Scenario Results, Affordable Housing is only listed in S5 for 40 units. 3. How will the plan's overall goal of dedicating 20% of all residential units as affordable be realized? What tracts outside of the PUD will contribute to this goal and what is the timeline for the creation of that housing? Staff Response: • The Framework Plan anticipates affordable units being provided on-site. • Affordable units will be funded with a combination of private and public funds. • Other properties in the SCW district that are eligible to participate will either: o Provide on-site affordable units (for residential projects) o Pay a district fee (for non-residential projects) • The Framework Plan has a 20-year timeline, but the creation of affordable housing will depend on the pace of redevelopment in the SCW district. • The One Texas Center site has been identified as a potential location for affordable housing to help meet the 20% goal. 4. In the event that the project is developed without any residential use, the applicant is required to pay a fee-in- lieu equal to the PUD fee rate. Based on the current rate, can staff share how this compares with the $450,000 per condo unit fee indicated otherwise in …
