An inclusive voice for Austin neighborhoods. Felicity Maxwell Zilker President Roger L. Cauvin Downtown Treasurer Thomas Ates Hyde Park Adviser October 10, 2021 Honorable members of the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (ICRC), Friends of Austin Neighborhoods (FAN) thanks you for your service on the ICRC and for the important work balancing numerous factors and priorities as you drew new boundaries for Austin’s city council districts. Friends of Austin Neighborhoods (FAN) recently polled its membership on priorities for redistricting, and we would like to express our support for the proposed maps in areas where they provide more effective representation for historically-marginalized, or sometimes-overlooked, communities of interest. A supermajority of FAN’s voting members approved the following statement and criteria in a secure online vote. Full results of these and all other online votes are on the Votes page of the FAN website. FAN champions the needs of the citywide community and representation of the full diversity of neighborhood stakeholders – not just the vocal minority of incumbent homeowners that sometimes dominate neighborhood conversations. Accordingly, FAN calls for redistricting that enables neighbors belonging to the following groups to have fair and effective representation in city government: 1. Historically marginalized ethnic groups, including Hispanics and 2. Fast-growing Asian communities. 3. Overlooked socioeconomic groups such as renters, residents of multi-family African-Americans. homes, and students. FAN believes that drawing district boundaries to support better representation for these groups is far more important than blind consistency with self-defined neighborhood boundaries. FAN represents about 3,000 neighbors (homeowners, renters, and small business owners) among its 18 member neighborhood associations and individual members living in 212 other neighborhoods throughout the city. A complete list of member neighborhood associations and individual members is on the FAN website. Again, thank you for your work, and we are happy to answer any questions you may have. Respectfully, Board of Directors of Friends of Austin Neighborhoods (FAN) Friends of Austin Neighborhoods (FAN) is a coalition of neighborhood associations and residents reclaiming the word “neighborhood” to include the full diversity of voices, moving beyond neighborhood protectionism.

Bojo (512) 807-2918 To: Major Planned Development PHONE: 512-974-1606 Approx. 15.69 acres Related Zoning Case: C14-2020-0150 From: SF-2-NP & LI-NP To: LI-PDA-NP NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN ADOPTION DATE: November 7, 2002 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: TBD CITY COUNCIL DATE: TBD ACTION: TBD STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommend applicant’s request of FLUM change to Major Planned Development 1 1 of 19B-2 BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: This 15.69-acre site located at 6501 & 6705 Regine Road currently has a FLUM designation of INDUSTRY. The site is undeveloped with no existing structures. There are a few single-family homes sandwiched between this property’s boundary lines. Directly north, a property was recently approved and rezoned from LI-NP to LI-PDA-NP. That case, 3443 Ed Bluestein Boulevard, proposes to redevelop 109.65 acres into a “mixed use, multi- tenant campus featuring a variety of commercial uses.” That project was approved for maximum building heights ranging from 120 feet to 400 feet across 4 tracts. Staff’s reasons for recommending this project at 6501 & 6705 Regiene Road include the various opportunities proposed. These include new multifamily residential, office, retail, restaurant, and industrial/creative spaces. The opportunity to potentially connect to a future CapMetro Green Line train station nearby, the opportunity to create a trail connecting to the Southern Walnut Creek Greenbelt, and most important the opportunity to participate in the City of Austin’s S.M.A.R.T. Housing Program. Although the area was once a productive industrial zone this property in particular has remained vacant. Now that the 100 plus acre property to the north has been approved for mixed use under PDA zoning, it would be hard to envision industry being applied to 6501 & 6705 Regiene Road in the future. There are still a lot of questions and variables of concern. Will this property connect in any way to the 109.65 acre project to the north? Connectivity to transit and pedestrian access within and surrounding the project area is a real concern to the Inclusive Planning …
