I didn’t want to fill your in-box with 11 emails. Thank you. Olivia Dear Historical Land Commission Member: Once again, a buyer buys into our Historical District and wants to building a monstrosity modern duplex. I am requesting that you respect the NRHD designation by denying the request to build new homes on the lot. I do not see any compelling reason to tear it down — it is stylishly remodeled both inside and out. Although, I do not appreciate the modern front windows. I bought a house in Clarksville because I want to maintain its historical character. By granting the developer’s request, you contribute to the minimization of the original Black landowners by worked so hard to build these historical houses. I hope and request that you vote against this change and show the original Black owners that their contribution to Austin continues to be appreciated. Thank you. Olivia Ruiz Olivia B.

I have lived in this neighborhood for 30+ years and am a member of the Clarksville Community Development Corporation Board of Directors. 1805 Waterston Avenue is an up-to-date, fully renovated property that recently sold for over $1 million dollars. There is no reason, save greed, for this house to be demolished. . Allowing this 100% livable property, which is also a Clarksville NRHD contributing property, to be demolished for the sole reason of putting something new, larger, and very likely at odds with the existing character of the neighborhood sets a dangerous precedent.

C.6.b - 71 Rainey St - Citizen Comment — original pdf
Paula Kothmann Preservation Chair, SRCC Historic Landmark Commission May 24, 2021 Preservation is better for the environment than demolition. Why don’t investors preserve rather than demolish? One of the biggest reasons that real estate investor seek to demolish their properties is because the property taxes are much too high for the income they can hope to get in residential rentals of older properties. Much more awareness of tax benefits may help stop some of the demolitions. San Antonio, for example, helps train property owners to apply for tax benefits when they preserve certain historic properties. Austin is supposed to be green! Demolition wastes a lot of energy and materials. Property taxes significantly increase holding costs. Recommendation: the property owner should endeavor to lower his taxes by: 1) Protesting his appraised values for the past two years 2) Requesting an income appraisal like that given to the nearby businesses w/ SF3 zoning. a. Why are residential rentals treated as commercial for tax appraisals? b. Why do residents pay such a higher price/sf than businesses? 3) Seeking tax credits for historic preservation because he is in a historic district and will be using the property commercially a. What is the cost to preserve vs rebuild if the owner no longer has to pay City and/or State taxes for 5-10 years? b. How quickly would he be able to get rental income if he preserved vs demolished? The subject property at 71 Rainey is grossly overvalued compared to nearby sites. Site Address 71 Rainey Austin, TX Price/Sf Land $180 Mailing address Proposed Value 2020 $1,027,814 $425 Proposed Value 2021 $1,027,814 $425 70 Rainey New York, NY 73 Rainey Los Angeles, CA $1,027,814 $1,027,814 Price +/1 Improvement +$115,399 Notes $0.22/sf 1890sf $144/sf 7680sf +$610,166 -$165,017 Why the increase in the improvement?

Landscape 23-3D-3110 23-3D-3110 Functional Green (A) Description. (1) Functional Green Landscape is a two-tiered approach to fulfilling the purpose of the landscape code. The first tier requires landscape elements to be placed in specified areas of a site, thus protecting private and public investment, providing visual buffering, limiting overcrowding, and enhancing property values. The second tier is a scoring system that measures the ecosystem service value created by landscape; it is intended to improve ecological balance, replenish native vegetation, and enhance public health, safety, and welfare. (2) The Functional Green Score measures the total amount of ecosystem services provided by the landscape elements proposed for a development site. Landscape plans are required to reach a total target Functional Green Score based on the assigned value per square foot area of each landscape element in relation to the area of the site. (B) Applicability. (1) Functional Green Score applies to all sites that allow an impervious cover total exceeding 80 percent. (2) Functional Green Score may also apply to a site that is restricted to an impervious cover less than 80 percent and elects to use this approach to meet requirements of the landscape code. 3D-3 pg. 13 City of Austin | Proposed LDC Revision – January 31, 2020 23-3D-3110 Landscape (C) Requirements. (1) A Functional Green Landscape plan is required to: (a) Comply with all applicable landscape and buffer types (Sections 23-3D-3030 through 23-3D-3100); (b) Comply with Planting and Soil Standards in the ECM; (c) Reach the Functional Green Target Score (prescribed in the ECM); if the target score cannot be reached by providing the applicable landscape and buffer types, Functional Green Landscape Elements must be added in order to reach the Functional Green Target Score; (d) Be designed to accommodate the minimum space requirements for each landscape element proposed to meet the Functional Green Score. (e) Provide 100 percent of plant selections as prescribed in the ECM; (f) Provide 100 percent drought tolerant plants, as prescribed in ECM Appendix N; (g) Ensure that Functional Green landscapes provide a variety of ecosystem services by providing a minimum of 3 different Functional Green Landscape Elements, 2 which must be living elements; trees and shrubs/ornamental grasses of different sizes may count independently as different elements; and (h) Prepare and submit an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) plan for the proposed development, as prescribed in the ECM.

EC Key CodeNEXT Watershed Proposals 11/1/2017 FUNCTIONAL GREEN A Component of the Proposed Revised Landscape Code 1 - F E B - 1 7 1 Functional Green Landscape Code Integrates nature Provides flexibility Is straightforward Functional Green is a new tool in the City’s landscape code tool chest. It applies to sites with an IC allowance over 80% and is designed for getting nature into these dense urban sites. Functional Green integrates nature into parcels where building cover or other impervious surfaces limit what the standard landscape code can accomplish. It gives developers a planning tool that is flexible and provides ecological benefits comparable to those achieved by the standard landscape code. And it provides a program that is straightforward and clear to implement and review. 2 Ecosystem Services Microclimate Regulation Water Filtration Carbon Storage and Sequestration Biodiversity Benefits Human Well‐Being Air Pollutant Removal Stormwater Retention Effects on Developable Area Effects on Property Value Functional Green is based on the science of “ecosystem services,” the important benefits that people receive from healthy functioning ecosystems. A consultant team reviewed over 120 scientific, environmental studies, identifying ecological and economic benefits that could be expected from each Landscape Element in Austin’s geography and climate.

Urban Design Guidelines Update Draft Framework — original pdf
URBAN DESIGN GUIDELINES UPDATE W I T H E X E C U T I V E S U M M A R Y City of Austin Design Commission TABLE OF CONTENTS. Executive Summary 3 Background 5 Barriers 11 How the Update Will Be Accomplished 12 UDG EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Urban Design Guidelines are a set of recommendations that promote architectural and urban design standards reflective of Austin’s shared values. When first created as the Downtown Austin Design Guidelines in 2000, these recommendations focused exclusively on projects located in Austin’s downtown. Then in 2008, in response to Austin’s growing urban core, there was an effort to make the guidelines broader to help shape the urban environment throughout the city as it grows. While this effort did rename the guidelines to reflect this intent, it did little else to promote their use beyond the Central Business District. Since this time, Austin’s urban core has expanded tremendously and the city has adopted many policies, initiatives, and plans to which the current UDG do not align with. Therefore, the Design Commission believes it is time to update the Urban Design Guidelines once again. The proposed update includes three main priorities. The first will focus on updating the UDG to have a broader applicability throughout Austin’s urban core, and therefore, the ability to serve a wider range of project types. Secondly, the update will better align the UDG with current community goals; including, but not limited to, adopted city polices related to affordability, connectivity, equity, environment, and mobility. Lastly, the update will seek to bring more clarity to the guidelines by creating a more inviting and user-friendly document that all Austinites can seek insight from, and resulting in a more predictable review process.” It is proposed that the update be accomplished in three phases. Phase I is the preparation phase, it will consist of crafting a guiding narrative, defining the core values, creating a community engagement plan, forming Working Groups, selecting Community Ambassadors, and establishing the overall work timeline. Austin’s urban core has expanded tremendously and the city has adopted many policies, initiatives, and plans to which the current UDG do not align with 3 Prepared by COA Design CommissionUrban Design Guidelines Updatȅ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Phase II will be the creation phase, where the Community Ambassadors will begin outreach and reporting back and the Working Groups will begin drafting the guidelines.

Jenkins Staff Liaison Art Zamorano Staff Liaison City of Austin Design Commission DESIGN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20210524-01A Date: May 27, 2021 Subject: Design Commission recommendations for the Rainey Street Substation project, located at 806 ½ Lambie Josue Meiners Seconded By: Bart Whatley Motioned By: Friendly Amendment: Aan Coleman Recommendation: The City of Austin Design Commission supports the Rainey Street Substation project, located at 806 ½ Lambie St., as presented on May 24, 2021. With this support, the Design Commission further recommends that the project includes a modular suspended pavement system, like Silva Cells, for all the trees along East Avenue and Lambie Street. This is a standard practice for trees placed in sidewalks along the right-of-way and will provide more suitable conditions in order for these trees to thrive. Rationale: Dear Honorable Mayor & City Council, This letter is to confirm the Design Commission’s recommendation to support the design of the Rainey Street Substation as presented to us. Our review found the following positive attributes: 1. The community engagement process was robust. This is meaningful as the project will serve as the eastern gateway into the Rainey Neighborhood. 2. The proposed artistic design is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. 3. Preservation of heritage trees and inclusion of landscaped gardens. 4. Widening of existing sidewalks and addition of street trees. Respectfully, City of Austin Design Commission Vote: For: Aan Coleman, Evan Taniguchi, Melissa Henao-Robledo, David Carroll, Josue Meiners, Bart Whatley, Ben 7 - 0 - 0 Luckens Against: NA Abstain: NA Absent: Martha Gonzalez, Jessica Rollason, Samuel Franco Attest: David Carroll, Chair of the Design Commission 1 of 1 Design Commission Recommendation 20210524-01A Rainey Street Sub Station Page 1
