May 4, 2021 Regarding Case Number: C14-2021-0050 Contact: Wendy Rhoades wendy.rhoades@austingexas.gov Public Hearings: May 4, 2021, Zoning and Platting Commission; June 3, 2021, City Council Dear City of Austin, Planning and Zoning Commission and Members of the City Council, This letter represents an objection to the proposed zoning change for the project location of 9505 Alice Mae Lane from GR-CO to GR-MU-CO. The purpose of this letter is to “second” the letter you received from Doray Sitko, President of the Southpark Meadows West Owners Association regarding the objection stated above. Currently I am the Vice-President of said organization. Also, this letter is officially submitted on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Reserve at Southpark Meadows HomeOwners Association (a subordinate association of Southpark Meadows West Owners Association) that consists of 358 single family homes, of which I am the President. Our Board has unanimously agreed on this objection. And I also submit this objection as a residential homeowner in the zoning boundary. We are in full agreement with the entire contents of Doray Sitko’s letter of objection to the rezoning. But instead of repeating Doray’s points of concern, I just wanted to add a few comments for your consideration. The Imagine Austin policies LUT P3, P5, P7 that are cited as being applicable to the proposed rezoning are not as obvious to us who live here as they are to the officials that wrote the proposal. The residents that comprise Southpark Meadows West live in 833 apartments and 435 homes. Within our acreage here are no public grassy parks, trails or playgrounds other than two jungle gyms in the center of the shopping center one quarter mile away. This is already a challenge to Parkland dedication before adding another 130 apartment units. That existing strip of land is too small to house 130 units and provide working spaces for all of them. Regarding the statement that no traffic study is required, be advised that all of the cross streets intersecting Slaughter Ln between I-35 on the East border and First St on the West border contain all- way traffic lights. Sincerely, Fred Cerkan Vice-President, Southpark Meadows West Owners Association President, The Reserve at Southpark Meadows Homeowners Association Resident Homeowner, 9320 Sydney Marilyn Austin TX 78748
Colony Park Neighborhood Association COLONY PARK A Community of Endless Possibilities P.O. Box 12891 Austin, Texas 78711-2891 USA April 30, 2021 Sherri Sirwaitis Senior Planner One Texas Center 505 Barton Springs Rd. Austin, Texas 78704 Dear Ms Sirwaitis I am contacting you on behalf of the Colony Park/Lakeside Neighborhood Association concerning the re-zoning of 7010 Johnny Morris Rd. The Colony Park Neighborhood/Lakeside Neighborhood Association is the recognized representative of the Colony Park, and Lakeside communities. We have been in contact with Victoria Hasse with Thrower Design, as well as the Scenic Point HOA the representative of the homeowners located near this property. The community has been working with the design team re-zone the property so it can bring value and be of benefit to the community. The designer is asking for the property to be re-zoned GR which can be supported by the community. We have worked with the designer to add a conditional overlay to prohibit the following uses. • Automotive Rentals • Automotive Repair Services • Automotive Sales • Automotive Washing (of any type) • Exterminating Services • Pawn Shop Services • Drive-thru fast-food We are also referring this re-zoning case to Council Member Harper-Madison’ office to express the community’s support for a re-zoning of GR for this property. If you require additional information, you may contact me by email at barbara_scott@sbcglobal.net or by Phone at 512 922-1202. Sincerely, Barbara D. Scott, President – Colony Park Neighborhood Association Inc.
May 4, 2021 Zoning and Platting Commission Q & A Report B-5 C14-2021-0038 - Pond Springs Rezone Question Commissioner King: Would it be possible to include the following prohibited uses in the conditional overlay for this case? Given that the applicant proposes a day care facility use on this site and the site is located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone and within a floodplain, these additional prohibited uses would appear to be appropriate and reasonable. • Drop off recycling collection facility • Extermination services • Funeral services • Service station • Bail Bond services Staff Response: Yes, the applicant agrees to the prohibited uses you listed below. These can be read into the record to be added to the staff’s proposed conditional overlay for this case. Question Vice-Chair Kiolbassa 1. An office building currently occupies the site. Was LO or GO ever considered? Why do they need GR zoning? A daycare can be under LO or GO. 2. The property is largely under a floodplain. How does this affect what could be built under GR? Staff Response: In this application, the property owner requested GR, Community Commercial district, zoning. There is currently a design company that is utilizing the office structure. The applicant is proposing to add a commercial day care use on this site. The staff reviewed the request for GR zoning and determined that this request was consistent with the zoning pattern (GR-CO) to the west and with the commercial land uses fronting along Pond Springs Road, an arterial roadway. The Watershed Department will look at the floodplain issues on this property during the site plan review process. B-6 C14-2021-0043 - Plains Trail Multifamily Rezone Question Commissioner King : Regarding this case, it appears that an occupied single family residence is located immediately adjacent to this lot. The backup indicates that this site "could" be subject to compatibility development regulations. If the site is subject to compatibility development regulations, approximately how many residential units could be developed on this site under MF-2 compared to MF-3? Staff Response: The property to the south of this lot is a single family residence that appears to be used as an office based on a site check. However, if is determined during site plan review that this property is still utilized/has a certificate of occupancy for a single family home then yes, compatibility standards would apply. I cannot answer as to …

Austin City-Community Reimagining Public Safety Task Force 2021 Mid-Year Recommendations Report Prepared for the City of Austin Together We Lift The Sky Art by Eileen Jimenez Sourced from Amplifier Art I n t ro d u c t i o n The City of Austin has made numerous reforms to public safety over the years, including con- ducting an investigation of systemic discrimination and bias within APD and establishing the Office of Police Oversight. The April 24, 2020 death of Mr. Michael Ramos during an interaction with APD officers ampli- fied calls to end disparities in how communities of color are treated when they interact with officers. Those calls became part of a moment of national racial reckoning with the May 25, 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. In August 2020, after hours of community testimony, the City Council passed a historic budget to redefine public safety. The City of Austin is committed to implementing policy and cultur- al changes to address the disproportionate impact of police violence on people of color and other affected communities. Council approved an APD budget of approximately $290 million which reflects a budget change of $153.2 million. The adopted budget directs that $153.2 million in police funding to be reallocated in the following ways: • Reduce & Reinvest APD funding by approximately $31.5 million – taken primarily from cadet classes and overtime – to reinvest in permanent supportive housing and services, EMS for COVID-19 response, family violence shelter and protection, violence prevention, workforce development, and a range of other programs. • Transfer a number of APD functions (and related funding of approximately $76.6 million) out of APD over the course of the fiscal year. These include Forensics Sciences, Communications/911 call center, strategic support, and internal affairs. • Create a Reimagine Safety Fund to potentially divert approximately $45.1 million from APD toward alternative forms of public safety and community support as determined through the year-long reimagining process. 2 Council also directed the City Manager to return to Council during the mid-point of the 2021 fiscal year to amend the public safety budget following public engagement on the Reimagining Public Safety (RPS) Process. In response to these Council actions, the City Manager charged his Executive Leadership Team with creating a City-Community Reimagining Public Safety (RPS) Task Force to consider new ways to help and support the community in times …
