In 2013-2014 the congregation left this location and constructed a new church at 5415 East Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. The property was sold to the current owner in 2016 and the building was used as Administrative/business offices for several years. This use is a nonconforming use under Section 25-2-624 of City Code because it is not related to a civic/public service.

Planning Commission: October 27, 2020 NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET NEIGHORHOOD PLAN: Govalle/Johnston Terrace Combined (Johnston Terrace) CASE#: NPA-2020-0016.02 DATE FILED: July 24, 2020 (In-cycle) PROJECT NAME: Trailhead Phase II PC DATE: October 27, 2020 ADDRESS: 1101 Shady Lane DISTRICT AREA: 3 SITE AREA: 1.562 acres OWNER/APPLICANT: SL4 Airport, LP ((John Kiltz) AGENT: Land Use Solutions, LLC (Michele Haussmann) CASE MANAGER: Maureen Meredith, Housing and Planning Department PHONE: (512) 974-2695 STAFF EMAIL: Maureen.meredith@austintexas.gov TYPE OF AMENDMENT: Change in Future Land Use Designation From: Commercial To: Mixed Use Base District Zoning Change Related Zoning Case: (Total Acres: 2.559 acres (1109 & 1101 Shady Lane) From: CS-MU-CO-NP and GR-NP To: CS-V-CO-NP C14-2020-0082 NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN ADOPTION DATE: March 27, 2003 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: October 27, 2020 – (pending) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To grant the applicant’s request for Mixed Use land use. B-71 of 40 Planning Commission: October 27, 2020 BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The applicant proposes to change the land use on a 1.562 acre tract of land (1101 Shady Lane) from Commercial to Mixed Use land use. The property is part of a zoning application that includes 1109 Shady Lane (0.997 acres) that already has Mixed Use designation on the future land use map, therefore the 1109 Shady Lane tract is not part of this plan amendment application. Staff supports the proposed change to Mixed Use at 1101 Shady Lane because the property is near the Springdale Neighborhood Activity Center and Airport Blvd which is an Activity Corridor where Mixed Use is appropriate. The Govalle/Johnston Terrace Combined Neighborhood Plan supports the diverse range of housing options for the planning area in addition to mixed and balanced land uses. The Plan supports the creation of neighborhood-serving commercial uses within walking distance to residents. Below are sections of the neighborhood plan that supports the applicant’s request. 2 B-72 of 40 Planning Commission: October 27, 2020 3 B-73 of 40 Planning Commission: October 27, 2020 4 B-74 of 40 Planning Commission: October 27, 2020 5 B-75 of 40 Planning Commission: October 27, 2020 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS EXISTING LAND USE ON THE PROPERTY Commercial -Lots or parcels containing retail sales, services, hotel/motels and all recreational services that are predominantly privately owned and operated for profit (for example, theaters and bowling alleys).

AZHAR – 2ND] (12-0) ONE VACANCY ON THE COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL ACTION: November 12, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Applicant is in discussions with the South Congress Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract is located on South Congress Avenue, is developed with a mobile food vending court and a self storage facility, and has had general commercial services – mixed use – neighborhood plan (CS-MU-NP) zoning since Council approved the East Congress Neighborhood Plan rezonings in August 2005. There are retail and various commercial services, auto-related uses and apartments along both sides of Congress Avenue in the vicinity (CS-MU-NP; CS-MU-V-NP; CS-MU-CO-NP/MF-6-CO-NP). Please see Exhibits A and A-1 – Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. 1 of 19B-11 C14-2020-0093 Page 2 The Applicant proposes to rezone the property and add a vertical mixed use building (–V) combining district to the existing zoning and develop it with up to 280 apartment units and 5,500 square feet of ground floor retail and restaurant uses. The property is designated as Mixed Use on the adopted Future Land Use Map (as is most of South Congress Avenue in the neighborhood planning area), and the Mixed Use designation is defined as “An area that is appropriate for a mix of residential and non-residential uses.” South Congress Avenue is also designated as a Core Transit Corridor. During the Vertical Mixed Use Overlay (VMU) Opt-in/Opt-out process conducted by the Neighborhood Planning and Zoning Department in 2007-09, an application to designate certain properties as appropriate to add the –V combining district or exclude other properties from the VMU overlay was not filed by the South Congress Combined Planning Contact Team. The addition of –V provides an additional development option to a property and allows it to retain the ability to redevelop under the existing …

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Historical significance and community value. HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The former Baker School is contributing to the Hyde Park Local Historic District. ACTION: PHONE: 974-6454 ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Hyde Park Neighborhood Association BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: While City Code does not allow a contributing building within a local historic district to be designated as a historic landmark for its architectural significance, the former Baker School is worthy of an architectural description as it reflects the work of three of the most prominent architects in Austin in the early- to mid-20th century. Built in 1911, the building is a raised two-story institutional building with a raised full basement. The building is constructed of Austin Common buff brick with poured concrete accents. The building has bands of five 2:2 windows with transoms in the principal block (these, while believed to be of historic age, are not original); the raised basement level also features bands of five 2:2 windows, but without transoms. The principal entry faces Avenue B, and has a brick portico that once had Doric columns and arched sides; the portico frames the raised and recessed entry, which features a double set of glazed wood doors. The portico has a small gablet at its center, echoing the gablet on the top of the building which has the inscription “Baker School.” Additional 1 of 9B-15 decorative aspects of the building include concrete bracket-like moldings in the at the top of the pilasters defining the bays, and a prominent cornice. At the north and south ends of the original 1911 building are rectangular-shaped additions matching the height and configuration of the original block. These additions project proud of the main block of the building, and have a pair of 2:2 windows on each floor, all without transoms. The solid appearance of the building hearkens to the Neo-Classical architecture popular for commercial and institutional buildings in the early 20th century. The …

Recommendation for Resource Management Commission Commission Meeting Date: Council Meeting Date: Department: November 17, 2020 December 10, 2020 Austin Water SUBJECT Approve amendments to city ordinances contained in Chapter 6-4 Water Conservation and 15-9-24 Utility Regulations to: assess administrative penalties for failure to submit cooling tower water efficiency registration and inspection reports required by 1126.1 of the city’s Mechanical Code; add efficiency performance standards for cooling tower drift eliminators; require the use of biocides in cooling tower recirculating water to increase water efficiency and protect public health by preventing airborne bacteria; and make ineligible for the evaporative loss credit on wastewater charges towers for which registration and inspection reports are not submitted. AMOUNT AND SOURCE OF FUNDING There is no unanticipated financial impact. The program would be administered under current funding and staffing. N/A N/A Purchasing Language: Prior Council Action: For More Information: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: Kevin Crittendon, 512-972-0191; Mark Jordan, 512-974-3901; Denise Avery, 512-972-0104 November 17, 2020 - To be reviewed and Resource Management Commission November 18, 2020 – To be reviewed by Water and Wastewater Commission N/A The 2018 Austin Integrated Water Resources Plan – Water Forward – recommended the adoption of ordinances that would increase water use efficiency by the commercial, industrial and institutional (CII) water use sectors, specifically including cooling towers. The proposed ordinances would amend Chapter 6-4 Water Conservation by imposing administrative penalties of up to $500 for failure to submit required cooling tower registration and annual inspection reports to ensure towers are meeting all water efficiency standards and equipment requirements. Assessment of administrative penalties for this program would be consistent with the current assessment of penalties under the Commercial Irrigation System Evaluation and Commercial Car Wash Certification programs. The proposed ordinances would also amend the inspection report to include whether the tower is meeting additional water efficiency standards for drift eliminators and the addition of biocides to cooling tower recirculating water to prevent algae growth, thereby increasing water efficiency as well as protecting public health by preventing airborne bacteria. These measures are consistent with 1126.1 and E 403.5.2, respectively, of the 2015 Uniform Mechanical Code, International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAMPO), and Standard 189.1, International Green Construction Code, of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Finally, the proposed CII ordinances would amend 15-9-24 Utility Regulations by providing that those who do not submit required registration …
