1 ESBMACC BOARD RESOLUTION OPPOSING PROPOSALS TO EXTEND RED RIVER STREET THROUGH THE EMMA S. BARRIENTOS MEXICAN AMERICAN CULTURAL CENTER (ESBMACC) DESIGNATED PARKLAND AND GUTTING RAINEY STREET HISTORIC DISTRICT WHEREAS the City of Austin designated the ESBMACC site as parkland “in perpetuity” principally as moral reparation for the City’s taking of Rainey Neighborhood and nearby East Austin properties from Mexican Americans founders through urban renewal and other City displacement processes in the 1950s and 1960s, and WHEREAS, the City of Austin historically only takes parkland for required utilities, it would be setting a dangerous precedent by taking ESBMACC parkland for the Red River Street extension, and WHEREAS, the proposed street extension would further devastate Rainey Street Historic District, designated as such for its distinctive history as a Hispanic enclave since the 1800s, and for its lovely and serene environmental quality protected thus far by Mexican American stakeholders participating throughout the Waller Creek Tunnel development, concurrent land development processes and the ESBMACC PHASE II planning, and WHEREAS, due to Rainey Street Neighborhood status as a Historic District, and the ESBMACC’s symbolic representation of 182-year presence of Hispanics in downtown Austin, for decades, the City has promised to respect Rainey Street Neighborhood’s integrity, the ESBMACC property, and the bucolic environment that the Hispanic community enjoyed and preserved for many generations, and which due to their diligence and care, Austinites throughout the city enjoyed, and WHEREAS Mexican American founders and stakeholders of ESBMACC advocated for this particular site, to commemorate our “antepasados” and honor our shared heritage, seeking the land’s designation as parkland expressively to protect the site and historic district in perpetuity, from encroachments and takings, to which the City enthusiastically acquiesced and legally supported, and WHEREAS, the ESBMACC site on designated parkland, and its stakeholders represent the Mexican American founders of Rainey Street Neighborhood and 2 nearby East Austin residents who created the Rainey Street Historic District and strongly oppose further gutting of the tiny historic neighborhood and its sacred lakefront by locating an intrusive and unnecessary roadway since frontage road of IH 35 (scheduled to be “sunk” in the next decades), Cesar Chavez Street, and River Street provide access to the dense environment recently created by the City, and WHEREAS, ESBMACC founders and stakeholders have done due diligence in actively participating in the Waller Creek Tunnel Project and in Waterloo Greenway Conservancy planning events for the past 20 years as …
Board of Adjustment Deep Dive: Key Topics & Issues Development Services Department August 17, 2021 1 Agenda ● General Background & History of BOA ● Core BOA functions & requirements: Variances Special Exceptions Appeals BOA Process Issues ● Boat Dock Regulations ● Environmental & Lake/Shoreline Regulations ● Residential Review 2 …..but first, introductions: BOA Members Michael Von Ohlen Kelly Blume Melissa Hawthorne Brooke Bailey Jessica Cohen Barbara McArthur Richard Smith Daryl Pruett Agustina Rodriguez Carrie Waller Rahm McDaniel Nicholl Wade Thomas Ates City Staff Jennifer Verhulst Chris Johnson Elaine Ramirez Diana Ramirez Lyndi Garwood Susan Barr Liz Johnston Keith Mars Lee Simmons 3 • • Zoning Boards of Adjustment Included in the 1929 model “state zoning enabling act,” promulgated by U.S. Dept. of Commerce. Intended to provide greater flexibility by authorizing “variation” of zoning regulations and provide administrative oversight. • Unlike municipal planning/zoning commissions, which performs a mix of advisory and decision-making functions, all BOA functions are quasi-judicial. 4 Austin’s Board of Adjustment • Austin’s BOA established by 1931 zoning ordinance: 5 Zoning Variances 6 Variance Criteria per Land Development Code Findings for Approval Guidelines No Reasonable Use The requirement does not allow for a reasonable use of property. Determined by context. Landowner needn’t prove a “taking” (i.e., loss of all economically viable use), but desire for “highest & best” use is insufficient. Harship Area Character Harship is unique to the property and is not generally characteristic of the area in which the property is located. Typically involves features of the property itself, but overall context of development may also be considered. Development under the variance does not: (a) alter the character of the area adjacent to the property; (b) impair the use of adjacent property; or (c) impair the purposes of the applicable zoning district regulations. Considers how development allowed by variance would impact properties differently than development without a variance, as well as well as development patterns in the surround area and goals of the regulations 7 Variance Standard per State Law Per Chapter 211 of the Local Government Code, a board of adjustment may: “[A]uthorize in specific cases a variance from the terms of a zoning ordinance if the variance is not contrary to the public interest and, due to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship, and so that the spirit of the ordinance is …

The independence of the commission is greatly influenced by the source of the commission’s information. Your legal counsel was the legal counsel to the first ICRC and is familiar with the current districts, their boundaries, and relevant information concerning the boundaries for the districts. Also, your mapper should have the capability to brief you on the population of each district after the 2020 census as well as the VTDs that are included in the districts. The same argument could be made concerning your briefing on the open meetings and open records acts and your responsibilities under those acts. Being briefed by the City Attorney is similar to my concerns about the briefing by the City Demographer. The City of Austin should not be providing legal advice to the commission. On September 4, 3021, the action by Governor Abbott that delayed the requirement to complete the training expires, and you are required to complete the training. Although the online training doesn’t take long to complete, it should be done quickly and the certificate of completion provided to Christine. I also think that Christine needs to be aware that communications between citizens and the commission should be available as a backup to a meeting, ensuring that the process is open and transparent.

"It's going to be a least week or ten days before it's usable," said George Korbel, ICRC mapping specialist. "At least that's been my experience from the last several redistricting maps I've been involved in." Korbel is no stranger to redistricting. He was instrumental in challenging the fairness of at‐large elections in Texas in the '70s. He and the ICRC's legal counsel David Richards were part of the team that ligated the landmark case known as White v. Regester. The case, which made it all the way to the Supreme Court in 1973 and won, found the urban voting district in Dallas and Bexar County reduced Latino representation in the Texas House of Representatives. The case also expanded into other counties with large urban districts in the state including, Tarrant, Nueces, McLennan, Travis, Galveston, Jefferson, Lubbock and El Paso. 2 "(The case) set down the proof pattern for litigation in almost literally all redistricting that dealt with at‐large elections," Korbel said. Since then, Korbel and Richards have been involved in redistricting over 50 jurisdictions such as cities, counties and school districts. Most recently, they redistricted education institutional boundaries in Houston and for Lone Star College, one of the largest community college districts in the nation. In Austin, Korbel, who has attended all but one ICRC public forum, plans to use the public's input in his map making process. "They're giving suggestions as to what changes should be made, and when I get access to the data, we will determine what the population of each one of the current city districts will be," Korbel said. "Based on that information, we'll start making changes to the districts, but I really …
