Recommendation 20260923-007: Recognition of Recent APD Shooting & Supporting Measures to Provide Public Accountability — original pdf
RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL JOINT INCLUSION COMMITTEE Recommendation 20260923-007: Recognition of Recent APD Shooting & Supporting Measures to Provide Public Accountability WHEREAS, on July 24, 2026, 17-year-old Anthoneil Williams II was fatally shot by Austin Police Department (APD) officers at a neighborhood park near Baden Lane and Dessau Road; and WHEREAS, subsequent official reviews and Austin Police Department disclosures revealed that Anthoneil Williams II was unarmed and the object in his waistband was a water bottle at the time officers discharged their weapons; and WHEREAS, while the shooting remained under active investigation, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis publicly stated that “all points” indicated the incident was a “suicide by police,” assigning a possible motive to Anthoneil Williams II before the completion of independent and thorough investigations; and WHEREAS, the National Police Accountability Project (NPAP), a national organization dedicated to police accountability and civil rights, specifically criticized APD's rapid characterization of Anthoneil Williams II's death as “suicide by cop,” raising concerns that assigning such a label before a meaningful investigation shifts attention away from questions of de-escalation, use of force, and governmental accountability; and WHEREAS, the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), a national organization of police executives and law-enforcement professionals, recognizes that encounters involving individuals believed to be seeking a lethal police response should prompt specialized crisis intervention emphasizing time, distance, communication, patience, and de-escalation, and has documented that many such encounters can be resolved without the use of lethal force; and WHEREAS, terminology such as “suicide by cop” or “suicide by police,” particularly when used before an investigation has established a person's intent, risks shifting responsibility for a police- involved death onto the deceased, making that individual the perceived causal actor in their own death while prematurely shaping public understanding of the government's use of deadly force; and WHEREAS, the City of Austin should use neutral, fact-based language when communicating about police-involved deaths and should distinguish between evidence concerning a person's possible mental or behavioral health crisis and the separate question of whether officers' actions, tactics, de-escalation efforts, and use of force were appropriate; and WHEREAS, repeated patterns of officer misconduct, insufficient de-escalation, and unjustified use of force have historically inflicted severe trauma and deadly harm across Austin communities; and WHEREAS, civilian oversight bodies, including the Community Police Review Commission, require unfettered access to all body-worn camera footage, dispatch recordings, internal affairs files, and investigative materials to ensure true transparency, accountability, …

[C. Haney – 1st; F. Maxwell – 2nd] Vote: 11-0 [P. Breton absent. One vacancy on the dais.] STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Commercial land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The zoning case includes two tracts, one at 1221 S IH-35 SVRD NB which has Commercial land use and is not part of the plan amendment application. The second tract is 1400 Lupine Lane which has Single Family land use and is proposed for Commercial land use which is consistent with the Commercial land use at 1221 S IH-35 SVRD NB. Staff supports the Applicant’s request for Commercial land use at 1400 Lupine Lane because the two tracts will be developed together for the proposed Transportation Terminal use. Although the proposed Commercial land use appears to be encroaching into a residential area, the property is essentially part of 1221 S IH-35 and is primarily a retaining wall that is not developable for a single-family home. 02 NPA-2026-0021.03 - 1221 S IH-35 Rezoning; District 92 of 40 Below are sections of the East Riverside/Oltorf Combined Neighborhood Plan staff believe supports the applicant’s request. The plan supports the adequate transition between residential and commercial use. Although the property at 1400 Lupine Lane is zoned SF-3- NP with the Single Family land use, the tract does not appear to be developable for a single family home given its steep slope and is essentially a retaining wall that will be developed as part of the transportation terminal site.

Please see Updated Summary Letter – Exhibit D. On January 2, 2025, staff published the Comprehensive Analysis of Density Bonus Programs report. This report evaluated the performance of existing density bonus programs and recommended changes to improve their overall performance. One of the major recommendations coming out of this study was to combine, streamline, and consolidate density bonus programs to the extent practicable. Bonus height entitlements that are more or less than 30 feet; Minimum affordability requirements that are calibrated and informed by the Therefore, on June 5, 2025, Council approved Resolution No. 20250605-080 that initiated land development code amendments to create a variety of density bonus combining districts that consider: • • Comprehensive Analysis of Density Bonus Programs report; Additional community benefit requirements such as ground floor activation, • minimum commercial and civic space, onsite beneficial reuse, updated design standards, and others; • • Modified compatibility regulations; and Redevelopment requirements, including considering one-to-one unit replacement. On September 1, 2025, a slate of new state laws went into effect that were passed during the 89th Legislative Session, including Senate Bill 840 (SB 840). SB 840 aims to increase housing stock by allowing more market-rate housing to be built on most property zoned commercial, by right. This new legislation reduces incentives to participate in voluntary density bonus programs for many properties, unless an applicant seeks additional modifications of development standards such as additional height. This may result in fewer income-restricted affordable housing units being included in new developments. However, the City remains committed to growing affordable housing availability using a variety of tools, including but not limited to density bonus programs. The Citywide Density Bonus Program code amendment is intended to respond to the new …

September 21, 2026 The City of Austin Planning Commissioners To: From: University Hills Neighborhood Plan Contact Team Re: Request for postponement of Case #: SPC-2026-0116A, 4720 Loyola Lane Dear Commissioners, The University Hills Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (UHNPCT) has received notice of a request for a “conditional use permit to allow for a senior living development” at 4720 Loyola Lane. The UHNPCT heard a similar request for this property from this Applicant in 2023. The significant concerns the stakeholders in the neighborhood had then remain and need to be addressed by the Applicant. The University Hills Neighborhood Plan Contact Team respectfully requests a postponement of the Planning Commission hearing currently scheduled for Sept. 22, 2026, for the following reasons: The UHNPCT only learned of this case on September 14, 2026, when two members received two entirely different notifications with mailing dates (on the letter itself; there were no postmarks on the envelopes) 6 weeks apart. ➢ ➢ One member received the conditional use request notice with a Mailing Date of July 28, 2026. Another member received the Sept. 22 PC hearing notice with a Mailing Date of September 10, 2026. Eight days from receipt of the notices to the hearing date is inadequate for public notification and stakeholder engagement. The Contact Team’s and the neighborhood’s concerns about the proposed project have not changed since hearing the Applicant’s original plans in 2023, which then was described as a “65-unit condominium project.” The two natural springs on the site raise environmental concerns that must be addressed, as does the possibility that a portion of the site was used as a landfill for barrels of chemicals until a few decades ago. The site is also adjacent to a significant number of established homes, a nonprofit campus for disadvantaged youth, and a small apartment complex that would border the “flagpole” access that would be the only point of ingress and egress for the “senior living development”– as a proposed “senior living development” this likely means a higher than average number of visits from large vehicles (ambulances, fire trucks, Special Transit buses, ride-share vans, etc. entering a narrow street). Current residents need more information and time to consider and provide educated feedback. Again, we request that the Sept. 22 Planning Commission hearing be postponed in order to have reasonable and sufficient time to notify the residents adjacent to and near the proposed development, notify the …

OWANA’s support follows discussions between the OWANA Zoning Committee and the project developer regarding the proposed redevelopment of the property and the neighborhood’s concerns regarding the future development and operation of the site. The proposed project would create an office and retail building along West 6th Street, with a building height of approximately 60 feet along W 6th Street before stepping back approximately 30 feet and increasing to a maximum height of approximately 90 feet. OWANA believes that maintaining the initial 60-foot height along W 6th Street, together with the substantial step-back before the additional height occurs, is an important aspect of the project. In OWANA’s view, the lower street-facing portion of the building better respects and responds to the existing scale and historical character of the West 6th Street corridor while allowing additional density farther back from the street. The proposed development will also complement the property immediately to the west, which was rezoned to LI-PDA last year and is proposed for a residential apartment building with retail uses on the ground floor. Together, the two projects would provide a complementary mix of office, retail, and residential uses along this portion of W 6th Street and support a more pedestrian-friendly environment. An especially important part of OWANA’s discussions with the developer has been the developer’s willingness to look beyond the boundaries of the property that is the subject of this rezoning case. The developer has agreed to rework and enhance the existing street and plaza area west of the building at 1111 W 6th Street, which is owned by the same developer. The developer has also expressed a willingness to coordinate with the developer of the adjacent property to the west so that the streetscape improvements across the …
