ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MOTION 20210303 003c Date: March 3, 2021 Subject: Dougherty Arts Center Replacement Project Motion by: Kevin Ramberg Seconded by: Andrew Creel RATIONALE: WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) has completed an extensive alternatives analysis and public outreach campaign for the proposed Dougherty Art Center relocation; and WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes that PARD has selected Option 1B as the preferred scenario for several reasons, including the preservation of heritage trees. THEREFORE, the Environmental Commission does not support the preferred alternative presented for Option 1B because the footprint of the layout of the site is too spread out and does not cluster consistent with the Commission’s understanding of what was presented to Council in the beginning. The Environmental Commission would like to note their support for Option 1A with the following additional understanding, exploration, and conditions: • The Environmental Commission supports Option 1A for several reasons, including the clustering of the footprints of buildings farther away from the lake and trail. Include the condition that any heritage trees that are removed will be relocated onsite. • • The Environmental Commission recommends clustering buildings away from the trail and a larger buffer from the trail and the park along the lake. The Environmental Commission recommends that the alternatives analysis team coordinate with PARD for their future use of the main building and anticipated future use of that. • Under scenario 1A, the Environmental Commission recommends that the restoration or rehabilitation of the Parks main building be done in the historical context with the eligibility of the building. • The Environmental Commission also asks the design team to review stormwater controls related to the siting of the buildings and stormwater. • The Environmental Commission recommends the design team reach out and coordinate with the neighborhood, commercial, and residential users as it relates to parking along Toomey Road. 1 For: Creel, Thompson, Barrett Bixler, Ramberg, Guerrero, Gordon, and Bedford Against: None Abstain: None Recuse: None Absent: Coyne, Maceo VOTE 7-0 Approved By: Linda Guerrero, Environmental Commission Chair 2

Mike McHone March 7, 2021 Pio.Renteria@austintexas.gov Scott Grantham Scott.Grantham@austintexas.gov South Congress Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team – SCCNPCT SCCNPCT - Requesting Denial of the Appeal to Planning Commission March 9, 2021 Notice of Public Hearing Site Plan Appeal for 4802 South Congress Avenue Case Number SP-2019-0600C District-3 DATE: TO: CC: FROM: Re: Re: Applicant: Parks Dept.: Scott Grantham, Scott.Grantham@austintexas.gov Dear Planning Commission, We, the SCCNPCT, have been in communication with Scott Grantham from the Parks Department, and Mike McHone, the applicant for 4802 South Congress Avenue. We have been able to hear both sides regarding intent and specifics for this appeal. We, the SCCNPCT, would like to have access from South Congress Ave through this property as mentioned by the Parks and Recreation Department. Parkland and greenbelts are often rare. Having access so that all area residents may safely enjoy the Central Williamson Creek Greenbelt is critical. The dedicated parkland, parking, and access to it, will provide an opportunity for relaxation and exercise to all residents living within close proximity. This would also leave intact an area for natural plants and species to live. We the SCCNPCT understand if the applicant's request is denied by Planning Commission, PARD and the SCCNPCT will continue to work with the applicant on outstanding issues such as the exact size and boundary of the parkland at the rear of the site along Williamson Creek; and the design of the driveway/public access way to promote safety and use by pedestrians as well as vehicles. As a registered “interested party”, the SCCNPCT, would like to be involved with the progression, access, and design of this parkland dedication that’s being implemented within the contact team area. Our understanding is that park policies, procedures, and rules are in place and maintained. Title 9. Prohibited activities - § 9-4-11 - CAMPING AND OBSTRUCTION IN CERTAIN PUBLIC AREAS PROHIBITED. Another suggestion, would be for future cases such as this one, to include the Neighborhood Plan Contact Team with discussions, before, during, and continuing after site plan approval. Neighborhood Contact Teams should be “interested parties” to all projects within their boundaries. Additionally, the “fee in lieu of” the least desirable cheapest smallest unit is nowhere near the cost of “fee in lieu” calculations need to generally be reexamined, as the payoff cost from developers does not align with the current costs for land, development, and housing in Austin. It is our …
March 9, 2021 Kate Clark Housing and Planning Department Street-Jones Building 1000 E. 11th St., Suite 200 Austin, TX 78702 Ms. Clark, trespasser. I hope you all are well and that the recovery from winter storm Uri is near its end. While I missed the devastation of Uri, this past weekend I had the uncomfortable experience of dealing with an inebriated I will first begin with a little context. I relocated to Austin on 21 February 2021 to serve as a residential real estate property manager. The property is located on the block bordered by 5th and Oltorf and is less than 400 feet from the proposed rezoning. Shortly after my arrival, the property owner informed me of the proposed rezoning change and his opposition against a liquor store in the community. Since then, I conducted due diligence to understand the consequences of converting the Sunrise Minimart into a liquor store, which included researching alcohol-related crime statistics. According to the website alcoholrehabguide.org, “An estimated 1.4 million incidents of alcohol-related violence are committed against strangers each year.” In addition to the tenants of the property I manage, I have had conversations with our neighbors regarding the proposed rezoning. To protect the identity of the individuals, I will use fictitious names. Frank recently relocated to Austin and loves his neighbors and the area. However, he believes that converting the convenience store into a liquor store would only result in “bringing the community down.” Jeff, a father of three young children, also relocated to Austin for work. He has had his car broken into on multiple occasions. How does a father explain these circumstances to his children? His experiences themselves serve as strong evidence against the proposed rezoning. One of our tenants, Jessica, has also experienced automobile burglary. Shirley, similar to Frank, believes a liquor store would not improve the community. Rose, another local resident, believes a liquor store would not benefit the children in the area. Furthermore, Diane likes the convenience store as it is because she is able to get her half-and-half when she’s in a pinch. Trish proposed converting the convenience store to a community garden for the sake of the neighborhood children. With Jeff’s guidance, I found the Galindo community on Facebook. Here is the perspective from an advocate of the rezoning: “We already have a number of bars and liquor stores in our residential area - what's one …
