Brummett, Elizabeth From: Sent: To: Subject: Jan Slagter Friday, April 23, 2021 4:37 PM PAZ Preservation 1816, W 11th Street historic case number PR-21-046417 *** External Email ‐ Exercise Caution *** Good morning Ms Brummett, Firstly I would like to thank you for your time and for the information you gave me about the redevelopment of the above property. Please disregard the form I mailed in giving my support to the project, this was before I’d seen the actual plans. I was given to believe from Mr Carillo the contractor that it was just a single family dwelling, with pool and garage, it’s obviously a lot more. I have no issue with the current small home on the lot being demolished and a larger home being built, my concern is with 3 two story building being squeezed on to a long thin lot. Looking at the plans I have to say my first thought was it looked like a compound not a home. One of the many joys of living in historic Clarksville is the wide variety of smaller to medium sized homes, with trees and gardens. I would hate to see us lose this with the building of much larger homes. Please lets not repeat the Mcmasions of Tarrytown. Thank you for letting me have my say.

I think this current design is going to take away from the character and history of Clarksville. Not one portion of the build pays homage to Clarksville or its architectural history. The plans appear to be just another modern farm house on a million dollar lot. The size and design change the quaint inviting characteristics of Clarksville which is stark contrast to the house of one of the founding families of this neighborhood which stood for over 50 years in that …

As a long‐time resident of Travis Heights‐Fairview Park I have worked for more than a decade to help our neighborhood achieve our National Register District designation, so it is heartbreaking to see so many contributing properties in good condition, like this one, being demolished just as we are finally achieving our goal. While this house may not rise to the status of a landmark, it is still important to the district's overall historic character and identity. It is the collection, including these working‐class homes, that tell a story about Travis Heights and Austin. This house could certainly be remodeled to increase the square footage while still retaining its historic facade. Should the owner want to use it as a rental property, they could potentially receive tax credits as a benefit of being within the historic district. I hope the commission can persuade the owner to preserve the facade of this home, at the very least, and to help us preserve our historic neighborhood.

However, I am not writing on behalf of that group, but as a long‐time resident. I am opposed to the demolition of 1807 Brackenridge, based on its value as a contributing property to our historic district, and as a representative property of so many of our historical residents. This is the beauty of our historic neighborhood‐‐it was economically diverse. The vast majority of our contributing structures were the homes of working people. If we keep demolishing every home that doesn't meet the high bar of being the residence of a person of note and deemed to lack community value, there won't be a historic neighborhood at all one day. I am sad that there is so little hope for preserving this home, which is in good condition and would make a wonderful home as it is, or with an addition and updates. (If kept as a rental property, it might even qualify for tax credits for rehabilitation, thanks to our National Register district designation.) This is a fairly visible location on the edge of our district. However, the character of the new build (old demolition) next door, combined with this one, will further degrade the defining, historic character of this block as people enter the neighborhood. I have been to too many meetings where we are told to create a local historic district if we want to save these homes that are obviously the core of our historic character, but can't qualify as landmarks. We are using all the tools available without that Local District designation. We need help, so I appreciate anything this commission can offer to help us preserve our South Austin story.

HR -2021- 044104 – 1807 Brackenridge St. Follow Up Flag: Flag Status: Follow up Flagged Dear commissioners, *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** I'm writing to oppose the demolition of 1807 Brackenridge St. This house appears to be in fine condition, as noted in the agenda backup, and is an excellent, extant example of Craftsman architecture in Travis Heights. I can attest to the possibilities of working with the original structure to create more space as opposed to tearing down. I am the owner of a home of similar style and vintage in the neighborhood and added a master suite, laundry and office to the rear of the house in 2016, while preserving the architectural integrity of the original house. The home was part of the 2019 Preservation Austin Craftsman home tour. As we face what feels like an inexorable tide of housing demolitions ‐‐ one occurred next door to me last year ‐‐ and we feel the historic character of our neighborhood slipping away, I know we have few tools at our disposal to keep the bulldozers at bay. But, as commissioners, you do have the power of persuasion. Please urge the owner of 1807 Brackenridge to consider preserving the original home and building a rear addition.

Downtown Density Bonus Program Memo From Chair original pdf

Page 1 of 1 page

$10/SF of Bonus Area $5/SF of Bonus Area $5/SF of Bonus Area $3/SF of Bonus Area September 11, 2018 City of Austin Design Commission David Carroll, Design Commission Chair Recommendations regarding adjusting the Downtown Density Bonus Program Fee Table Date: To: From: Subject: Per LDC §25-2-586, the Downtown Density Bonus Program outlines the Development Bonus Fee schedule that an applicant pays to the City per square foot of bonus area requested. These fees are then distributed by NHCD to help build affordable housing projects in Austin. The Development Bonus Fees, however, are not the equal across all downtown. The current fees for Residential projects are: Core/ Waterfront District: Lower Shoal Creek District: Rainey Street District: All other Districts: Due to many factors including Austin’s booming economy, the redevelopment of the Seaholm power plant, and the revitalization of Austin’s urban creeks, we have seen large growth in the Lower Shoal Creek, Rainey Street, and Waller Creek Districts in particular. It is now apparent that the incentive of lower Development Bonus Fees in these Districts is no longer necessary and they should be reevaluated. This task had been identified and written into CodeNEXT, but now that the effort has stalled the City is continuing to lose money every day in these Districts. The Design Commission recommends that the Development Bonus Fees in the Lower Shoal Creek, Rainey Street, and Waller Creek Districts be adjusted to match the current Core / Waterfront District fee of $10/SF of Bonus Area. This is an easy fix to an outdated system until the entire program can be reevaluated and will result in many more dollars allocated to affordable housing in Austin. Thank you, David Carroll, AIA Chair Design Commission

Downtown Density Bonus Program Recommendations original pdf

Thumbnail of the first page of the PDF
Page 1 of 2 pages

DESIGN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Date: November 04, 2019 Re: Land Development Code amendments related to the Downtown Density Bonus Program Honorable Mayor Adler and City Council Members, In Austin, high-rise projects that comply with the current Downtown Density Bonus Program (DDBP) can be awarded more than three-times the floor area than the base zoning allows in exchange for what today are considered modest design improvements. The Design Commission is a strong advocate for downtown density, but we also find that the DDBP is dated and does not create public benefits comparable to the entitlements that these projects receive. We are specifically concerned that the DDBP is not well aligned with more recently adopted policy goals including: mobility1, pedestrian safety2, climate and sustainability3, livability and affordability4. For example, a developer may approach the Design Commission with entitlements for an eight-story commercial building, and if compliant with the DDBP, walk away with the ability to construct 24 stories of hotel space (hundreds of units), and 8 stories of parking (thousands of additional parking spaces), in exchange for modest street level improvements5, and perhaps somewhat more energy efficient building design6. The Downtown Density Bonus Program’s gatekeeper requirements do not account for: • Design for ride share queuing and associated pedestrian safety • Public access to structured parking garages or parking demand management systems • Parking structures designed for future re-use as livable space • Downtown mobility planning, i.e. support for alternative mobility options through funding, and discouragement of parking structures, especially if not designed to support transit system. To this end, the Design Commission respectfully requests that Council consider a resolution directing the City Manager to assign multi-departmental staff7 to assist the Commission in drafting proposed code amendments to better align the DDBP with the city’s adopted goals. Input from public stakeholders will play an important role in this process as well to ensure the DDBP remains functional and attractive to developers. Further, the Design Commission recommends that the process to amend the Downtown Density Bonus Program should include an examination of the following recommendations: 1 Austin Strategic Mobility Plan 2 Vision Zero 3 Austin Community Climate Plan 4 Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan 5 City of Austin Great Streets Program. 6 Two-star rating from Austin Energy Green Building Program. 7 Austin Transportation Department, Office of Sustainability, Neighborhood Housing and Community Development with Capital Metro partnership. 1/2 FUNCTIONALITY • If a DDBP applicant receives a …

City of Austin - Design Commission Project Review Application The Design Commission provides advisory recommendations to the City Council to assist in developing public policy and to promote excellence in the design and development of the urban environment. The Design Commission reviews three types of projects: 1. City projects (see page ii for process) The Commission reviews all municipal buildings and associated site plans to ensure they demonstrate compliance with city design and sustainability standards (Council Resolution No. 20071129-046), including those seeking Subchapter E Design Standards Alternative Equivalent Compliance (AEC) (Council Resolution No. 20100923-086). 2. Destiny Bonus projects (see page iv for process) The Commission reviews density bonus projects for substantial compliance with the Urban Design Guidelines for Austin in accordance with the Gatekeeper requirements of LDC 25-2-586 for the Downtown Density Bonus Program. 3. Advisory Recommendations for Private projects (see page ii for process) The Commission will consider Project Review Applications from private projects during its regularly scheduled monthly public meetings and may issue an advisory recommendation in the form of a Project Review Letter to the Applicant. This Project Review Application must be submitted before your project can be presented to the Design Commission for their review. Design Commission requests project be presented in their Conceptual/Schematic Design phase. This application primarily addresses inhabited buildings and structures and their effect on the public realm; please refer to Appendix A for infrastructure type projects. The Commission's review of projects is based on the planning/design principles in the Urban Design Guidelines for Austin. Ensure that all applicable principles are addressed in the application questions and in your presentation. https://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Boards_and_Commissions/ Design_Commission_urban_design_guidelin es_for_austin.pdf The Design Commission supports the vision and principles of Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan, especially those that affect the urban environment and fabric. All projects should consider this vision and principles, many of which are similar to the Urban Design Guidelines. Refer to Appendix C for the most pertinent sections of Imagine Austin. The Design Commission expects the applicant’s design team to present their project with those most knowledgeable and encourages the inclusion of sub-consultants at the presentation, when deemed necessary.

DESIGN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Recommendation Number: (201804‐02a): CodeNEXT Draft 3 Working Group Memo Motion by: Aan Coleman Second By: Evan Taniguchi Per LDC §25‐2‐586, the Design Commission evaluates and makes recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Director regarding whether density bonus projects substantially comply with the Urban Design guidelines, one of the three Gatekeeper Requirements for the Density Bonus Program. The Design Commission proposes the following recommendations to the third draft of the CodeNEXT:  23‐3E‐1: The Design Commission suggests that the proposed Density Bonus of Max Dwelling Units per Acre be more equitable. This has been concentrated in east Austin and not been allowed in west Austin. This could be interpreted as racially and/or economically bias. Density must be distributed evenly to be effective at achieving affordability throughout Austin.  23‐3B‐1060: The Design Commission wants to understand how the Director determines if off site affordable units propose a better community benefit than on‐site affordable units. The Director shall provide metrics for the evaluation of the production of off‐site units in areas of high opportunity.  23‐3E‐1060: The Design Commission supports this proposed Downtown Density Bonus fee for non‐ residential projects.  23‐3E‐1060B: The draft does not include a fee‐in‐lieu schedule. This regulation cannot be properly evaluated without knowing what the cost to developers will be for the added entitlements.  23‐3E‐1070: It is unclear who the designated review group will be in determining the fee‐in‐lieu schedule.  23‐3E‐2: The Design Commission proposes that all downtown have a two‐tiered Density Bonus Program, like the current program in the Rainey Street District. The first FAR tier should have a properly calibrated affordable housing requirement without a fee‐in‐lieu option. The second tier could have a fee‐in‐lieu option.  23‐3E‐2040: If a design of a proposed project changes significantly after the Density Bonus is approved then it should be required to return to the Design Commission to be re‐evaluated for compliance.  23‐3E‐2050: The Design Commission recommends that the Community Benefit requirements be expanded to include all projects opting into the Density Bonus Program.  23‐3E‐2050: The Design Commission recommends that the Community Benefit options include mobility alternatives that support biking, and pedestrian transit, and manages off street parking and ride‐share loading availability to reduce street traffic and support Vision Zero’s mission to reduce pedestrian fatalities. If they are not providing on site affordable housing, the applicant should also be required to file a …

April 23, 2021 ZWAC Construction and Demolition (C&D) Ordinance Reform Committee REGULAR MEETING MINUTES The Construction and Demolition Ordinance Reform Committee of the Zero Waste Advisory Commission (ZWAC) convened in a regular meeting on April 23, 2021 remotely via WebEx. Ian Steyaert called the Board Meeting to order at 1:03 p.m. Board Members in Attendance: Ian Steyaert (chair), Cathy Gattuso, and Amanda Masino Staff in Attendance: Elizabeth Nelson, Selene Castillo, Gena McKinley, Jason McCombs, 1. CITIZEN COMMUNICATION: GENERAL Four (4) citizens spoke during the opportunity for citizen communication. Ross Biel with Recon Services and 3B Recycling in reference to the Qualified Processor section of the C&D Ordinance, addressed that there is not a City Registered Evaluator that verifies third party processor diversion rates alongside RCI (Recycling Certification Institute). Stakeholder Biel also mentioned that processors are not required to register with the City and pointed out that there are issues with processors reporting and reporting accurately, identifying material end markets, and increased pressure to recycle materials that are difficult to divert. Stakeholder Biel pointed out a conflict with RCI allowing fuel burning and the City not allowing burning as a diversion option. Stakeholder Biel spoke of the benefits of RCI certification and the detailed reporting requirements. Walter Biel, owner of Recon Services, and 3B Recycling, discussed the process of becoming RCI Certified, the challenges of recycling construction debris and finding end markets, and the process for becoming a recycler through applying with TCEQ. Stakeholder Biel stated that 70% of the material they receive is wood and burning as biofuel is the only option for this material, which LEED and EPA count as diversion. Stakeholder Biel also spoke about contamination issues at sites collecting comingled recycling that must be landfilled because of that contamination. William Turley, founder and Executive Director of the Construction and Demolition Recycling Association (CDRA) shared facts about C&D materials. Stakeholder Turley mentioned that burning wood biomass is recognized as diversion from the landfill by both EPA and LEED and requested that the City recognize that when certifying facilities since Zero Waste tenets allow for 10% waste to energy. Stakeholder Turley stated that RCI certification is the only program for recycling facilities that has been developed to an ISO level and is recognized by USGBC as the only legitimate program, and that requiring all facilities to be certified would reduce fraudulent reporting and increase reporting accuracy.
