For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: Scheduled for March 10, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Scheduled for April 9, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES While there is staff support for the requested Mixed Use zoning for the property at 2001 Guadalupe Street, there are other processes available that may provide more flexible development standards such as parking, height, floor to area ratio (FAR) and in return require participation in affordable housing, streetscape investments and adherence to design standards.

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 10, 2020: February 25, 2020: To grant postponement request by Neighborhood to March 10, 2020, on consent. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: March 26, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 11B-07 C14-2019-0164 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Springdale Road and Pecan Springs Road. The 2.40 acre lot is zoned SF-3-NP and developed with one single family residence. The north half of the property is constrained by a tributary to Fort Branch Creek, including floodplain and creek buffers. West and Southwest of the property, along Pecan Springs Road, are additional SF-3-NP properties developed with single family residences. Northwest of the property are more SF-3-NP lots, and a SF-6-CO-NP parcel. These properties are developed with single family residences. Immediately north of the property are tracts zoned GR-MU-CO-NP that include townhouse/condominium and limited retail land uses. Across Springdale Road to the east is undeveloped land zoned SF-6-NP and land zoned GR-CO-NP that contains religious assembly land use. Please see Exhibits A, B, and C—Zoning Map, Aerial Exhibit, and Environmental Exhibit. Staff supports the Applicant’s request of SF-6-NP zoning. The environmental constraints of the property impact the option of subdividing and developing the site with single family residences. SF-6 zoning allows clustering of residential units to avoid the environmental features. SF-6 zoning has been approved for properties northwest and east; the GR-MU-CO- NP property immediately of the site is developed with townhouse/condominium land use. Staff has received correspondence regarding the rezoning request. Please see Exhibit D- Correspondence. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City Council or Planning Commission. The Strategic Housing Blueprint promotes a mix of housing types and densities across the city. Zoning should promote a transition between adjacent and nearby zoning districts, 2. land uses, and development intensities. Immediately north of the property are tracts zoned GR-MU-CO-NP that include townhouse/condominium and limited retail …

Rivera) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant general commercial services – mixed use – vertical mixed use building – neighborhood plan (CS-MU-V-NP) combining district zoning. If the rezoning request is granted, it is recommended that 65 feet of right-of-way from the existing centerline be dedicated for South Congress Avenue according to the Transportation Plan prior to Third Reading of the ordinance at City Council. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 10, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: April 8, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Applicant and representatives of the South Congress Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team are working on a private restrictive covenant that addresses affordable housing as it pertains to rental units. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject undeveloped lot is located on South Congress Avenue, is undeveloped and has had general commercial services – mixed use – neighborhood plan (CS-MU-NP) zoning since Council approved the West 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-CO-NP/MF-6-CO-NP).

Planning Commission amendment to Downtown Austin Plan LDC Amendment from Council passed on second reading entitled “Downtown: Northwest District” a. Density Bonus: 1. Boundaries: South of 15th Street, in areas that were ineligible for the Downtown Density Bonus in the Downtown Austin Plan; North of 15th Street, in areas that the Downtown Austin Plan designated as eligible for the Downtown Density Bonus with reduced maximum bonus entitlements (height limits of 90, 100, or 120 feet, and FAR caps of 3:1, 4:1, or 5:1). 2. FAR: For the purpose of the density bonus, above-ground parking will count towards FAR. The maximum allowable FAR available for a property under the Northwest District Density Bonus will depend on the base zoning as follows: CC-40 3.0 CC-60 4.5 CC-80 7.5 CC-120 7.5 3. Height: Properties in the Northwest District south of 15th Street are eligible for additional height up to 50% greater than the height allowed by base zoning, but only for the purposes of improved design or compatibility: for example, to protect trees, save historic building facades, or reproduce original building set-backs. Above-ground parking is not permitted in projects that utilize bonus height. 4. Fifteenth Street: On the south side of Fifteenth Street, rezone properties currently zoned CC to CC-120 and make them eligible for the Northwest District Density Bonus. b. Compatibility standards A, B, and C described in 23-3C-10080(E) shall not apply to properties south of 15th Street. However, compatibility standards would still apply for properties north of 15th St. c. FAR and Height Limits: 1. For the area along the west side of Nueces, from a half-block north of 15th up to MLK, the height limit should remain 90’, but the FAR cap should be raised to 7:1; 2. For the area along the east side of Nueces, from a half-block north of 15th up to 18th, the height limit should be raised to 140’, and the FAR cap should be raised to 8:1; E-011 of 2 3. The third area, much of which is along San Antonio, should have unlimited height and FAR, like the other areas to the east. d. Setbacks: If the smallest existing front setback on the blockface is smaller than the setback shown, the minimum required front setback will be equal to the smallest existing front setback on that blockface. The maximum front setbacks in the Northwest District shall be the setbacks described in …

Lead Department Austin Energy Fiscal Note A fiscal note is not required. Prior Council Action: For More Information: Erika Bierschbach, Vice President, Energy Market Operations and Resource Planning (512) 322-6476; Jeff Vice, Director, Local Government Issues (512) 322-6087 Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: March 9, 2020- To be reviewed by the Electric Utility Commission and the Resource Management Commission. Additional Backup Information: Austin Energy requests approval of the Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2030 (“Resource Plan”). The Resource Plan was developed by the Electric Utility Commission Resource Planning Working Group in collaboration with Austin Energy staff. The Working Group is composed of community members representing the Electric Utility Commission and Resource Management Commission; advocates for the environment, low-income customers and small businesses; and representatives of large commercial customers. The Working Group met 10 times over a period of 6 months and approved the Resource Plan unanimously. The process of updating the Resource Plan involves extensive analysis of the expected risks, costs and opportunities regarding Austin Energy’s generation fleet. The Resource Plan is a road map for the management of Austin Energy’s generation resources and is intended to be flexible and dynamic, allowing it to reflect changing circumstances. It brings together demand and energy management options over the planning horizon. As always, execution of individual elements of the Resource Plan will be subject to affordability impacts and Council approval. Strategic Outcome(s) Government That Works for All
FINAL DRAFT 03/06/20 Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2030 On August 12, 2019, the Electric Utility Commission (EUC) created the Resource Plan Working Group1 (Working Group) to provide leadership and guidance to Austin Energy and the Austin City Council on technical and market issues to meet environmental, efficiency and affordability goals established by the Austin City Council.2 This Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2030 (2030 Plan) outlines the Working Group’s recommendations and strategic goals and represents an extensive effort of the Austin community working through the Working Group and Austin Energy staff. The 2030 Plan is based on analysis of the risks, costs and opportunities to meet future demand for electricity. The 2030 Plan is intended to be flexible and dynamic in order to respond to changing circumstances, including customer electric load, economic conditions, energy prices, and technological development, while strictly committing to firm carbon reductions. The 2030 Plan updates and replaces the Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2027.3 To the extent the provisions of this 2030 Plan are inconsistent with prior resource plans for Austin Energy or related City Council resolutions adopting such plans, this 2030 Plan will prevail upon its adoption by the City Council. The Working Group believes this 2030 Plan is groundbreaking in its approach and can serve as a model for others in achieving immediate, large-scale environmental benefits and reducing emissions, while maintaining affordable electricity rates. Vision Statement This 2030 Plan commits Austin Energy to continuing to provide affordable, dependable and safe electricity service to residents and businesses while pursuing the City of Austin’s climate protection and sustainability goals4 and the directives set forth in the Austin Climate Emergency Resolution.5 As a part of its commitment, Austin Energy will maintain an energy supply portfolio sufficient to offset customer demand while eliminating carbon and other pollutant emissions from its electric generation facilities as rapidly as feasible within the limitations set by the Austin City Council. Austin Energy commits to providing access to the benefits of this 2030 Plan for limited-income communities and communities of color. 2 The Working Group Charter can be found at: https://austinenergy.com/wcm/connect/2febfc53-8bad-4029-aabe- 1 The Working Group members are listed at the end of this 2030 Plan.

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Resource Management Commission Recommendation No. 20200309-002 Resource Plan March 9, 2020 Approve the Austin Energy Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan to 2030 Date: Subject: Motioned: Leo Dielmann Seconded: Tom “Smitty” Smith Recommendation: Resolve that the 2030 Plan as presented to the Resource Management Commission be recommended to City Council for approval. Further resolved that the following additional items are recommended to the City Council: 1. We recognize that there is no established process for appointment of members for the Working Group that ensures equity, and while efforts were made in 2020, challenges were identified. For this reason, we recommend that Austin Energy and the Electric Utility Commission work with the City of Austin Equity Office to establish a process that ensures future resource planning advisory or stakeholder groups include broad based customer representation, including representatives of residential and limited-income customer advocacy organizations and communities of color; and establishes open and transparent communications procedures providing access to all community members. 2. We recommend that the community group meetings provided for on page 5 of the 2030 Plan should also include groups representing limited-income communities and communities of color. 3. The City should ensure that the risks of the 2030 Plan do not disproportionality fall on limited income communities or communities of color. 4. Austin Energy should report annually at the end of the fiscal year to the Electric Utility Commission with respect to progress on the research provided for on page 6 of the 2030 Plan. 5. At the end of 2022 the EUC will initiate a review process for the 2030 Plan, to take place in 2023.
