Like many of my fellow Austinites from district 3, leaving work to attend a meeting at noon on a weekday would require me to take PTO. Board members and commissioners already donate considerable time to serving their city and that time expenditure is tripled for those elected to serve as chair. With the holiday season almost upon us, it's not feasible for me at this time. I'd like to add that offering a tour of the facility, while a nice gesture, doesn't address our concerns about the lack of equity, accessibility, transparency, and public input the majority of us on the sovereign boards agree are significant problems with the proposed move. Instead, I propose a special called joint meeting of the Board of Adjustment, Planning Commission, and Zoning and Platting Commission at Austin City Hall. The week of November 29th is the fifth week of the month which should allow for easy booking of the main chamber in the evening. I believe it would be appropriate if the city manager, an ex-officio member of the Planning Commission like myself, were there to discuss the issues the PDC creates for holding hearings and meetings. Once you have a confirmed date, I'll work with our liaison to communicate time and agenda items with the BoA members.

Vertical Mixed Use Code Amendment Recommendations Zoning and Platting Commission Backup for agenda Item D-3 – Proposed revisions to Land Development Code - Zoning and Platting Commission Meeting November 16, 2021 The Zoning and Platting (ZAP) Commission supports City Council’s effort to build upon and strengthen the successful VMU program. ZAP approves the following recommendations regarding the proposed Vertical Mixed Use (VMU) code amendment: 1. Annual median family income requirements for VMU1 and VMU2 zoning should be set at or below 50% for rental and ownership to facilitate equitable access to income restricted housing affordable to low-income families of color in Austin. A recent University of Texas study shows that the annual median family income for Black and Latino families in Austin is roughly half of that for white families in Austin. 2. A minimum of 15% of residential units for rental or a minimum of 15% of residential units for ownership should be required under VMU1 and VMU2 zoning. 3. VMU1 and VMU2 zoning should complement but not undermine existing VMU zoning. 4. VMU1 and VMU2 zoning may not be administratively granted. 5. Affordable housing income restriction requirements for VMU1 and VMU2 zoning should apply to the entire project, not just the bonus area. 6. Income-restricted affordable housing units should be onsite for VMU1 and VMU2 zoning. No fee-in-lieu should be allowed under VMU1 and VMU2 zoning. 7. Compatibility may not be waived for VMU1 or VMU2 zoning.

We own 1729 and 1728 Keilbar Ln (Lot 1 and Lot 2 Max Keilbar Section3) which are the two large lots that can be seen on this same drawing below. They are located down the hill from these properties. Any addional drainage and increased parking this change will create will adversely affect us. There is 1.2 acre plus field between our house(s) and (MOPAC RR) railroad tracks. This entire field floods when it rains. It has taken a week or more for the water to recede. We haven’t seen anything in his proposal to the address this current flooding issue or help make it any better going into the future. Street parking is very limited. There is no ‘real’ street parking. People park partly on the road and partly in the grass. If we are lucky no one parks on the opposite road side of your car. Meaning when this happens if makes it very difficult for the garbage truck or any large vehicles to get through. Approving this development will mean more cars parked along the street and increased parking problems on a narrow road with no other outlet. This proposed high density development will not benefit the current residents or surrounding neighborhoods including ours in any way.

Our preference would be to rezone for MF1, single family with no more than 12 units and maximum 2 stories. This zoning would provide continuity with current use patterns and maintain architectural integrity of the neighborhood The proposed allowable density under MF-2 would negatively impact current residents on Keilbar Lane in a number of ways.

ACTION: PHONE: 974-6454 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Austin Independent School District, Austin Lost and Found Pets, Austin Neighborhoods Council, Chestnut Addition Neighborhood Assn. (C.A.N.A.), Chestnut Neighborhood Plan Contact Team, Chestnut Neighborhood Revitalization Corporation (CNRC), Del Valle Community Coalition, East Austin Conservancy, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, Homeless Neighborhood Association, Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation, Neighbors United for Progress, Preservation Austin, SELTexas, Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: One-story, rectangular-plan, hipped roof, frame transitional-style house with a partial-width inset porch with a segmental-arched bargeboard, raised rail, paired battered timber posts, A.3 -2 and boxed panel spandrels; replacement single 6:6 fenestration; central, hipped roof frame attic vent dormer. The building is a good example of a transitional house, a period representing a bridge between the Victorian styles known for their architectural ornamentation and the more reserved and smaller-scale bungalow styles of the 1920s. Transitional houses were generally taller than the later bungalows, but began to exhibit a lower form than the Victorians of the past; a slow move from verticality to horizontality. Although the windows have been replaced, the house reflects a high degree of integrity for its age, and is also unusual for its continuous ownership by a Black family in an era where a house like this would have likely started off with white owners. The house appears to have architectural significance. Historical Associations: According to Travis County real estate records, Mack Blocker purchased this property in the fall of 1914. The lot was across the street from his wife’s father’s property. He and his wife, the former Gertrude Parker, lived …

Allen, Amber From: Sent: To: Subject: Sarah Arvey Tuesday, October 19, 2021 9:18 AM PAZ Preservation East Austin historic home needs to be saved *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** PR-2021-139064 Dear Commission, As a 10 year resident of East Austin, in the East Cesar Chavez neighborhood, I have witnessed the demolition of countless older homes like 1601 Cedar Ave. For the most part, developers replace these older homes of character and historic importance with homes in truly atrocious architectural styles that have nothing to do with the original homes and neighborhood styles. Quite often, these new homes are sold and turned into STR for tourists. Please consider recommending that 1601 Cedar Ave (PR‐2021‐139064) be designated historical, and worthy of saving from demolition. Thank you, Sarah Arvey ‐‐ ********************************* Sarah R.

I think this house should be a historic building based on its age and architecture. Too many of these historic houses that are in good condition are being torn down for new model homes to be built, making the east side lose its history and charm.
