PROPERTY OWNER: Ringgold Partners I, Ltd. (John Bultman) AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Alice Glasco) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GR-MU, Community Commercial-Mixed Use Combining District zoning. The site development should be limited to uses and intensities that will not exceed or vary from the projected traffic conditions assumed in the final TIA (prepared by the Wantman Group, Inc., dated May 2020) through a public restrictive covenant that will be recorded prior to third reading of this case at City Council. The TIA recommendations are included as Exhibit C to this report. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 20, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 19B-1 C14-2020-0059 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is currently a moderately vegetated undeveloped tract of land located at the southwest intersection of West Howard Lane and Interstate Highway-35. The lots to the north, across W. Howard Lane, are in the county and contain automotive sales uses, offices, a religious assembly use, laundry services, a single-family residence and a service station/food sales use. The land to the west is undeveloped and contains floodplain. The tract the east, across North Lamar Boulevard, is developed with an automotive sales use. To the south, there are multifamily and single-family developments, floodplain and a high school (Connally High School). The applicant is asking to rezone the property to the GR- MU zoning to develop a 269-unit multifamily apartment complex. The staff supports the rezoning request because the site meets the intent of the GR-MU district. The property can serve community and city-wide needs as it is located along major arterial roadways, West Howard Lane, North Lamar Boulevard and the southbound frontage road of Interstate Highway-35. This tract of land is adjacent to a variety of commercial, office and residential uses to the north in the county, across Howard Lane, and to the east in the city, across North Lamar Boulevard. There are residential uses (MF-3, SF-6-CO zoning) to the southwest. The proposed Commercial Services-Mixed Use District zoning will provide for the development of a mixture of uses along two Activity Corridors (West Howard Lane and North Lamar Boulevard Activity Corridors) and within a designated Neighborhood Center (Tech …

England) AGENT: Armbrust & Brown, PLLC (Richard Suttle) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MF-4, Multifamily Residence-Moderate-High Density District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 20, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 15B-3 C14-2020-0099 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently an undeveloped tract of land with moderate vegetation. This area was annexed for limited purposes on November 15, 1984. This property is located at the edge of the city limits and fronts onto North FM 620 Road. There is a personal services use (Lugo’s Mane Tamers) and a plant nursery (Round Rock Landscape Supplies) to the east zoned DR, undeveloped tracts to the north located in the county and an undeveloped tract (zoned DR), monument sales use, personal services use (Edge Salon), construction sales and services use (D & B Tree Company) and the Round Rock ISD Bus Facility zoned CS-CO to the west. On the south side of FM 620 Road there is the Robinson Ranch PUD including a segment of State Highway 45. This area is currently undeveloped. The applicant is requesting MF-4, Multifamily Residence-Moderate-High Density District, zoning to develop an apartment complex. The staff recommends the applicant’s request for this property as the site meets the intent of the MF-4 district. The tract of land is located at the intersection of an arterial roadway, Pearson Ranch Road, and FM 620/ SH 45 Road. The proposed zoning will create a transition in the intensity of development from the single family residential neighborhood to the north to the commercial uses developed to the east and west. MF-4 zoning will permit the applicant to build a residential development that will provide for additional housing opportunities within this area of the city. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Multifamily Residence (Moderate-High Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily and group residential use with a maximum density of 36 to 54 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for moderate-high density housing in centrally located areas near …

Customer Energy Solutions FY20 – Quarter 4 Report As of 09/30/2020 Quarterly Rebates by District and Outside of COA Solar PBI not included. Rebates paid may not align with AE Finance eCombs system as of 09/30/20. Dollars are unaudited. Energy Efficiency Services Residential Programs AE Weatherization (WAP) – Direct Install • Recognizing that the income standard being used was out of alignment with cost of living in Austin, EES revised income requirements from 200% FPL, a Federal standard, to 80% MFI, a standard calculated by COA and used by NHCD to qualify low income customers. This change puts us in alignment with other city departments and the increasing cost of living in Austin. • EES also implemented a new one-page application that requires customers to “self-attest” they meet income requirements rather than submit sensitive personal information, such as W2s or pay stubs. This is in response to customer feedback on barriers to participating in the program. • EES is also including Smart Thermostats in the WAP. • If customers participate in WAP and would like to purchase a new AC, the Weatherization AC Rebate and Loan is now offering 0% financing and a rebate for a new unit through Velocity Credit Union. In Q4, 34 weatherization projects were completed. Some Q4 projects are still being invoiced. • 1 Appliance Efficiency Program (AEP) • The Appliance Efficiency Program has continued to perform despite the COVID-19 pandemic processing over 1,357 enrollments in Q4 of this fiscal year. • The program is moving the online application on the AE Website for HVAC and Variable Speed Pool Pumps. Participating contractors will now submit rebate applications via the Energy Efficiency Services rebate processing system, EECP, in order to improve the customer experience. • The program is updating its information on the Austin Energy Website Home Performance w/Energy Star (HPwES) • Due to COVID-19 the program marketing and outreach was suspended with the exception of the program website. The program marketing budget was diverted to the broader Austin Energy messaging of the utility’s response to COVID-19. The program anticipates resuming limited program marketing in the fourth quarter of FY20. • Due to COVID-19, the program’s new handbook and EECP configuration was not launched as planned in March of FY20. The program is monitoring the situation and will attempt to launch the new program at the start of FY21. • Despite COVID-19 the program was able to …
