CITY OF AUSTIN CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN A. PURPOSE Participating Jurisdictions (PJs) that receive U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entitlement grant funds must develop a Citizen Participation Plan (CPP). The CPP describes efforts that will be undertaken to encourage community members to participate in the development of the City’s federal reports: Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The CPP is designed to encourage the participation of city residents in the development of the federal reports listed above, particularly those residents who are predominantly low- and moderate-income. For purposes of CDBG funding, a resident is considered to be low-income if their family income equals 50% or less of median family income (MFI), as estimated by HUD. A person is considered to be moderate-income if their family income is between 50% and 80% of MFI. Predominately low-to moderate-income neighborhoods are defined as any neighborhood where at least 51% of the residents have incomes equal to or below 80% of the MFI for any given year. The determination of whether a neighborhood meets the low-to moderate income definition is made by the City at the time a project of area-wide benefit is funded based on current data provided by HUD. The CPP also encourages local and regional institutions and other organizations (including businesses, developers, and community and faith-based organizations) to participate in the process of developing and implementing the Consolidated Plan and related reports. The City takes appropriate actions to encourage the participation of persons of minority backgrounds, persons with limited-English proficiency, and persons with disabilities. It is important to note that HUD’s use of the statutory term “citizen participation” does not in any way limit engagement and consultation with community members based on legal status or country of origin. Any person that resides in the Austin metro area is encouraged to provide input about the federal reporting process as outlined in this CPP. The City of Austin is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. Reasonable modifications and equal access to communications will be provided upon request. The City of Austin does not discriminate on the basis of disability in the admission or access to, or treatment or employment in its programs and activities. The City of Austin considers it the right of …
PLAN DE PARTICIPACIÓN CIUDADANA DE LA CIUDAD DE AUSTIN A. PROPÓSITO Las Jurisdicciones Participantes (PJ, por sus siglas en inglés) que reciben fondos de subvención garantizada por ley del Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano (HUD) de los Estados Unidos deben desarrollar un Plan de Participación Ciudadana (CPP, por sus siglas en inglés). El CPP describe las iniciativas que se llevarán a cabo para fomentar la participación de los miembros de la comunidad en el desarrollo de los informes federales de la Ciudad: Evaluación de Vivienda Justa (AFH), Plan Consolidado, Plan de Acción Anual y el Informe Consolidado Anual de Rendimiento y Evaluación (CAPER). los El CPP está diseñado para fomentar la participación de los residentes de la ciudad en el desarrollo de informes federales mencionados anteriormente, en especial aquellos residentes que perciben predominantemente ingresos bajos y moderados. Para los fines de asignación de fondos de Subvención en Bloque para Desarrollo Comunitario (CDBG), se considera que un residente tiene ingresos bajos cuando el ingreso familiar es igual al 50% o menos del ingreso familiar mediano (MFI), según lo estimado por el HUD. Una persona se considera de ingresos moderados cuando su ingreso familiar está entre el 50% y el 80% del MFI. Los vecindarios de ingresos predominantemente bajos a moderados se definen como cualquier vecindario donde al menos el 51% de los residentes tienen ingresos iguales o inferiores al 80% del MFI para un año determinado. La Ciudad determina si un vecindario cumple con la definición de ingresos bajos a moderados al momento de financiar un proyecto de beneficio en toda el área, utilizando datos actuales proporcionados por el HUD. El CPP también fomenta la participación de instituciones locales y regionales y otras organizaciones (incluidas empresas, desarrolladores y organizaciones comunitarias y religiosas) en el proceso de desarrollo e implementación del Plan Consolidado y los informes relacionados. La Ciudad lleva a cabo medidas adecuadas para promover la participación de personas de grupos minoritarios, personas con dominio limitado del inglés y personas con discapacidades. Es importante destacar que el uso por parte del HUD del término estatutario "participación ciudadana" de ninguna manera limita la participación y consulta con los miembros de la comunidad según su condición legal o país de origen. Se alienta a cualquier persona que resida en el área metropolitana de Austin a proporcionar información sobre el proceso de presentación de informes federales, tal como se describe en este CPP. …

Staff offers the alternative recommendation of LR-MU-V-CO-NP. The CO in staff’s recommendation would prohibit the use of service station. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 13, 2024: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract is currently undeveloped land, a gravel parking lot. It is located a block north of East Cesar Chavez Street. To the south is a medium sized church (this parcel is being considered on this same agenda, case C14-2024-0010. While they are adjacent lots they are separated by a roadway and thus must be two separate rezoning cases). To the east and west are single family structures being utilized as residential and to the north are three single family homes being utilized as residential. The tract is approximately 950 feet east of the Downtown Imagine Austin Center and approximately 300 feet south of the Plaza Saltillo Imagine Austin Center. Staff has concerns about this pocket single family neighborhood approximately 7 blocks by 1-2 blocks in area. There are at least five historical zoning cases that have been initiated within 1/3 mile of the subject tract, including a structure constructed in the late 19th century. It is clear the neighborhood is neither downtown to the west, nor the commercial corridor that Cesar Chavez is to the south, nor the TOD that Plaza Saltillo is to the north. It is something different as none of those initiatives or rezonings have made inroads into this C14-2023-0017 2 small area. Granting this rezoning could result in further requests for more intense zoning which could have substantial impacts on this neighborhood of older single-family homes. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. The alternative recommendation offered, neighborhood commercial-mixed use-vertical mixed use-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (LR-MU-V-CO-NP) combining district zoning would allow for reasonable use of the …

Staff offers the alternative recommendation of neighborhood commercial-mixed use-vertical mixed use-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (LR- MU-V-CO-NP) combining district zoning.
