As we discussed, I wanted to clarify my support for rezoning and neighborhood plan amendment proposed for 1829 IH‐ 35. While I confirm my support for greater density along high‐traffic corridors, such as IH‐35, I think it very important that existing height limits be complied with, in consideration of the adjacent low‐density residential neighborhood. I feel it is essential that the 1829 IH‐35 maintain a 60' height limitation, not 90'. Thanks for your help in adding this to the record.

We thank you and Thrower Design for serving as intermediary between the neighbors and the owners. I feel the current owner negotiated in good faith to address the concerns we as owners had about the project. The owners have agreed to a building not to exceed 60 feet, a more intense 25 foot vegetative buffer zone and /or fence on the eastern side of the property. The property also presented an anticipated building that would start at 2 stories on the eastern side of the property and then stair step to a maximum height of 60 feet. A formal withdrawal notice from the Valid Petition will be sent to Kate Clark. Thank you. …

Program administered by the Small & Minority Business Resource Department Edward Campos Director/ ACDBE/DBE Liaison Officer Tamela Saldana Compliance Officer/ ACDBE/DBE Program Designee Jolene Cochran Program Compliance Coordinator/ ACDBE/DBE Program Designee PURPOSE • Overview of the U.S. DOT Disadvantaged Business Programs •Overview of the City of Austin’s ACDBE Program • Highlight ACDBE Program Requirements • Provide an ACDBE Goals and Methodology update • ACDBE Outreach Efforts U.S. Department of Transportation Disadvantaged Business Programs THE HISTORY In 1983, Congress enacted the first Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) statutory provision to ensure funds authorized for the highway and transit Federal financial assistance programs be expended with DBEs. In 1987, Congress re-authorized and amended the statutory DBE/ACDBE programs and added women to the groups presumed to be disadvantaged. Since 1987 DOT has established a single DBE/ACDBE goal, encompassing both firms owned by women and minority group members. The three major DOT Operating Administrations (OAs) in the DBE program are the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The DOT DBE program is administered by state and local transportation agencies under the rules and guidelines in the Code of Federal Regulations. (Title 49, Part 26). The FAA maintains a separate program for concessions in airports under (Title 49, Part 23) known as the Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) Program. HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS Regulations require recipients of DOT Federal financial assistance establish goals for the participation of disadvantaged entrepreneurs and certify the eligibility of DBE firms to participate in their DOT-assisted contracts. Recipients are state and local transportation agencies; FAA, FHWA & FTA. Each DOT-assisted State and local transportation agency are required to • Establish narrowly-tailored goals. • Evaluate DOT-assisted contracts throughout the year • Establish contract specific DBE/ACDBE subcontracting goals to ensure nondiscrimination in federally-assisted procurements. ABOUT THE ACDBE PROGRAM The U.S. DOT’s ACDBE program through the Department of Aviation provides a vehicle for increasing the participation of women and minorities in state and local procurement for airports. Federal Regulations require Departments of Aviation that receive USDOT financial assistance to establish a ACDBE Program and goals for the participation of ACDBE’s. Departments of Aviation are required to establish annual ACDBE goals and review contracts throughout the year to establish project-specific ACDBE subcontracting goals. ACDBE Program Participants All Large Hub, Medium Hub or General Aviation Airports with commercial service • Dallas/Fort Worth Airport (DFW) • George …

C-1/69 MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Jerry Rusthoven, Assistant Director/Interim Lead Planning and Zoning Department DATE: May 22, 2020 SUBJECT: UNO Sign Regulations The Planning and Zoning Department is requesting the Commission initiate an amendment to the UNO ordinance to correct an inadvertent change made to the sign regulations in the ordinance. In November 2019 the City Council approved changes to the UNO ordinance. One of those changes was intended to address signs above the second story of a building. Those signs were required to be cut in or engraved into the structure of the building. If the name of a building were placed on the facade this made it physically difficult to change the name in the future. It was agreed by the stakeholders to remove this requirement. In making this change to the ordinance a mistake was made and the result is all illuminated signs were prohibited in the UNO area. This is not what was intended or agreed to by the stakeholders. Also, because the UNO sign regulations are also used in TODs and the North Burnet/Gateway Plan this mistake carries over to other areas. Staff is asking for the opportunity to correct the ordinance. We will be working with the same stakeholders involved in the November revisions. If you need additional information, please contact me by email or 512- .
