M E M O R A N D U M TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Board Members Kimberly A. McNeeley, M. Ed., CPRP, Director Austin Parks and Recreation Department May 9, 2021 Hancock Golf Course Survey Results The purpose of this memorandum is to provide you with results from the recent Hancock Golf Course survey and outline the next steps related to engagement associated with the Golf Course. Attached is the final report and appendixes that provide responses to all the questions and comments received from the open-ended questions. As you may recall, the Parks and Recreation Department (Department) completed online community engagement meetings in November 2020, regarding the financial status of the Hancock Golf Course. This included meeting with multiple Neighborhood Associations, Conservancy groups and Golf partners. At the conclusion, the Department determined a need to obtain additional information regarding community views related to the future uses of Hancock Golf Course. The property associated with Hancock Golf Course is unique in that it is the size of a district park, includes the city-wide activity of golf and offers recreation center programming that attracts individuals beyond the immediate neighborhood. March Hancock Golf Course Survey In March, the Department engaged Austin Energy’s Data Analytics and Business Intelligence (DABI) group to conduct research on community sentiment regarding Hancock Golf Course. The surveys were launched on March 9 and closed two weeks later, on March 23. To allow for input from multiple sources, three survey delivery methods were developed: • Email with a Unique Link • Open Link • QR Code posted around the municipal golf courses Austin Energy deployed an email link to approximately 40,000 citizens across all 10 Council Districts from a random list of survey participants created from an analysis based upon the demographics and psychographics of those likely to engage in outdoor activities. The analytics and the selection process allowed for a statistically valid analysis of the survey data. The Open Link provided anyone the opportunity to share their comments and was shared with Neighborhood Associations, Conservancy groups and our Golf partners. Lastly, the QR Code was for golfing patrons that allowed them to take the survey at the golf courses. All questions in the survey were the same irrespective of delivery method. The DABI team monitored all received responses to these surveys for duplication or replication of responses so that they could ensure fairness and equity …

June 17, 2021 Planning Commission, City of Austin Via E-mail: maureen.meredith@austintexas.gov, Heather.Chaffin@austintexas.gov RE: Plan Amendment Case: NPA-2020-0002.02 Zoning Case #: C14-2021-0058 Property Address: 1501 E. 6th Street (also known as 1509 East 6th Street and 1510 East 5th Street) Dear Planning Commissioners, The role of the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood team is to preserve the integrity of our neighborhood plan and that of the Saltillo TOD. Both plans were heavily researched, vetted, and considered by knowledgeable, capable folks. They’re our plans, smart plans, and plans that feel good to the neighborhood. They say that 60 feet is the appropriate height for buildings at this project’s location. That said, as stewards of our neighborhood plan, projects that propose strong affordable housing components in exchange for height variances are welcomed and cannot be ignored. Increased height precedents have been established for projects that bring strong affordable housing and/or fee-in-lieu proposals to our team. Those precedents cap out at building heights of 75 feet. On May 19, 2021 at a general meeting, the ECC-NPCT voted to support the applicant’s proposal to amend the zoning height definition in this case to change the base maximum building height from 60 feet to 85 feet strictly contingent upon the inclusion of family-friendly units with a minimum of 2 bedrooms. Furthermore, on June 17, 2021 at a general meeting, the parties clarified that support for an 85’ height variance was strictly contingent upon the delivery of 10% of the gross square footage of affordable housing being committed to family friendly units with a minimum of 2 bedrooms. Additionally, the ECC-NPCT voted to support a 90’ height variance at the south side of the project (Saltillo Plaza side) ONLY, strictly contingent upon the delivery of 20% of the gross square footage of affordable housing being committed to family-friendly units with a minimum of 2 bedrooms. This proposal is one of very few projects that come before the ECC-NPCT that add real value to the neighborhood by including critically needed affordable housing. Additionally, it benefits from its location on a sloped site - the added height remains compatible with neighboring structures. This project only scratches the surface of the need for affordable units in our neighborhood and we hope to see more follow in its footsteps. We recommend that the Planning Commision consider the applicant's proposal favorably. Page 2 Sincerely, K e n Kristen Heaney Chair East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood …

The Applicant has stated their intent to develop a mixed use project that includes multifamily, office and commercial land uses. They intend to provide on-site affordable multifamily units at 10% of the gross floor area per the TOD Density Bonus. To achieve the increased FAR, the Applicant requests increasing the building height from 60 feet to 85 feet. This includes updating the Station Area Plan (SAP) and Regulating Plan. The request also requires a Neighborhood Plan Amendment (NPA), which is being processed concurrent with the rezoning request (City File # NPA- 2020-0002.02).

Mixed Use land use is appropriate in this location. The North Austin Civic Association Neighborhood Plan supports commercial uses being located along North Lamar Blvd, however, because this property is the last remaining lot within the block of existing commercial zoning and land uses, staff believes transitioning this lot for commercial and/or residential uses and with Mixed Use land use is appropriate.

The properties to the north are zoned GR-MU-CO-NP and CS-NP and are developed with office and warehouse uses. To the south, across Wagon Trail, there is SF-2 zoning with a duplex residence. The lots to the east are zoned CS-NP and are used for an automotive sales use and automotive repair businesses. The lots to the west, on the other side of Newmont Road, are zoned SF-2 and developed with a multifamily residential use and single family residences.

This is the only residentially zoned tract of land that remains within this block between Prairie Trail and Wagon Trail at Newmont Road. The General Commercial Services-Mixed Use Combining District will allow for the applicant to redevelop the site with a mixture office, commercial and residential uses to provide additional services in this area.

The one-story house is clad in board and batten wood siding and capped with a pyramidal roof with two pipe chimneys and exposed rafter tails. Features include non-original vinyl-sash windows and a non-original flush wood door, which are proposed to be replaced with 2-over-2 double-hung clad-wood windows and a wood door in keeping with the original construction date. A partial- width entry porch has a shed roof covered in corrugated metal and supported by square columns. Historical Associations: The Posey House is significant for its association with Samuel Posey and his descendants, working-class African Americans who purchased and maintained the property for decades at a time when few financial, policy, and legal resources were available to Black families.
