PARKLAND IMPROVEMENT, MANAGEMENT, AND OPERATIONS AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 1 BETWEEN THE CITY OF AUSTIN, AUSTIN PARKS FOUNDATION, AND DOWNTOWN AUSTIN PARKS, LLC Agreement Overview The City of Austin (City), Austin Parks Foundation (APF), and the Downtown Austin Alliance (DAA) agreed that the public benefits of Republic Square Park would be substantially enhanced through the re-improvement of the Park in accordance with a previously developed Republic Square Master Plan for the Park. They further agreed that this goal could best be achieved by utilizing the services of APF and DAA as non-profits in connection with the re-improvement management, and operation of the Park. On February 10, 2015, the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) entered into a Parkland Improvement, Management, and Operations Agreement with APF and the DAA for Republic Square, which is parkland property leased to the City by the State of Texas. • APF was responsible for the design, permitting, bidding, and construction of improvements to Republic Square that conformed to the Republic Square Master Plan. • Upon completion of the construction of improvements, DAA became responsible for the management and operation of Republic Square. After the execution of the contract, DAA assigned the agreement to Downtown Austin Parks, LLC. (DAP) on September 9, 2016, with the approval of the PARD director. • PARD performed all maintenance with no reimbursement to DAA. Later, DAA began performing baseline landscaping services (mowing, horticulture and litter abatement) for PARD. As such, PARD agreed to annually reimburse DAA $7,000 for these services and $7,000 for utilities based on the three previous year’s average. On December 13, 2018, City Council approved Resolution No. 20181213-018 to authorize an amendment to allow the City Manager to maintain and approve the list of events requiring full closure of the Park annually and setting a limit at 20 such events per year and for any events in excess of 20 the City Manager is directed to obtain Council approval. What is the Purpose of the Agreement? The purpose of this Agreement is to amend (Amendment No. 1) the Parkland Improvement, Management, and Operations Agreement Between the Austin Parks Foundation, a Texas nonprofit corporation (”APF”), Downtown Austin Parks, LLC, a Texas nonprofit corporation (“DAP”), and the City of Austin for Republic Square What Does the Amendment Address? The amendment: • Incorporates the Reassignment and Assumption of Parkland Improvement, Management, and Operations Agreement from Downtown Austin Alliance to the Downtown Austin …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the applicant’s request for Higher Density Single Family on Tract 1 because there is single family land use to the north of Boggy Creek and to the west with Civic land use to the south. Higher Density Single Family is appropriate in this location. Staff recommends Neighborhood Mixed Use land use on Tract 2, in lieu of the applicant’s request for Mixed Use because this Tract is across the street from residential and office uses and would provide the opportunity for small-scale, neighborhood-friendly commercial, office and residential uses. The Govalle/Johnston Terrace Neighborhood Plan supports compatible and varied land uses, in addition to neighborhood-scale developments, which staff believes these land uses meet these goals. 2 2 of 37B-03 3 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS EXISTING LAND USE ON THE PROPERTY Single family - Detached or two family residential uses at typical urban and/or suburban densities.

From: Jon Hagar Sent: Saturday, January 11, 2020 9:25 PM To: Chaffin, Heather <Heather.Chaffin@austintexas.gov> Subject: Objection to C14-2019-0142 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hi Heather, I am writing to object to the rezoning application for 6412 Ed Bluestein Blvd that would allow for service station use. Our area has enough gas stations as it is - with more under construction - and we do not need to open up more land for that use. Doing so would only reduce the available land for other commercial uses sorely needed in this area, such as grocery stores and other neighborhood retail. Thank you, Jon Hagar 5113 Provencial Dr, Austin, TX 78724

C14-2019-0156 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2019-0156– 707 Rio Grande Street DISTRICT: 9 ZONING FROM: GO TO: DMU-CO SITE AREA: 0.2069 acres (9,012 sq. ft.) ADDRESS: 707 Rio Grande Street PROPERTY OWNER: Rio Grande Street Partners, LP (Diana G. Zuniga) CASE MANAGER Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov ) AGENT: Jackson Walker L.L. P. (Pam Madere) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Downtown Mixed Use – Conditional Overlay (DMU-CO) combining district zoning. The Conditional Overlay would limit height to 60 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 28, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: February 20, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES No issues have been identified for this request. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The site at 707 Rio Grande is at the west edge of the Central Business District. The 0.21 acre (9,012 sq. ft.) parcel currently has a two story office building and surface parking. There are two historic landmarks next to the subject site, Sayers and Gilfillan House, both used for office purposes. Applicant requests a change from general office (GO) zone district to downtown mixed use (DMU) zone district to permit re-development of the site with a larger building. The current GO zone district permits 60 feet in height, a Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) of 1:1, maximum building coverage of 60%, and maximum impervious coverage of 80%. 1 of 10B-11 C14-2019-0156 2 The proposed DMU zone district permits 120 foot height, FAR of 5:1, and maximum building and impervious coverage of 100%. The height is capped by a Capitol View Corridor Overlay: Barton Creek Pedestrian Bridge. The subject property is located in the Downtown Austin Plan (DAP): Northwest district and mapped as proposed DMU-60 district. That district would be Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) uses with a 60 foot height maximum. The requested DMU zone district is intended to be a transition to Central Business District (CBD) zoning. The request is consistent with the DAP and pattern of rezoning in the Northwest district. There are many parcels zoned DMU within a 2 block radius of the subject site including the adjacent properties to the south. CBD zoned properties are about one block south and 3 blocks east. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Zoning should not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner; Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. …
604 West 11th Street Austin, TX 78701 www.originalaustin.org 14 January 2020 Mr. Mark Graham City of Austin | Planning and Zoning Department 505 Barton Springs Road Austin, TX 78704 RE: 707 Rio Grande Street (C14-2019-0156) Dear Mr. Graham, On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Old Austin Neighborhood Association (OANA), I am writing you to express our qualified support of Case C14-2019-0156, the re-zoning of at 707 Rio Grande Street from GO-H to DMU. OANA has supported zoning change requests from GO to DMU since the Northwest District (NWD) component of the Downtown Austin Plan (DAP) was completed almost a decade ago. While our mission is to enhance and protect the historic and residential character of the neighborhood, this property has been provided professional office space use for decades and we respect the applicant’s intention to continue that use. Our support of this zoning change is also consistent with the new draft of Land Development Code (LDC) as passed by the Austin City Council on first reading last month. However, our support is qualified by the request that the following uses be prohibited through a restrictive covenant on the property. We offer below the following wording for this prohibition: “Prohibited Uses: Outdoor sound amplification devices (other than alarms or other required safety equipment) shall be prohibited at any business located at this property. This does not prohibit ambient sound, acoustic sound, music intended as an unobtrusive accompaniment to an activity, music generated indoors, alarms, required safety equipment, or electronic devices used in a day to day manner. In addition, the following uses (as defined by the Land Development Code) shall be prohibited at this property: bail bond services; exterminating services; funeral services; pawn shop services; limited warehousing services; hospital services; music venue; and cocktail lounge.” Our support is also qualified by the request that any new development of this property make reasonable accommodations to its neighboring property owners at 701 and 709 Rio Grande. We expect Mr. Blair Fox, the neighboring property owner at 709 Rio Grande to either submit a letter and/or be present at the Planning Commission on January 14th to explain his concerns and the nature of the accommodations he might need. Thank you for your consideration of this correspondence. Sincerely, Ted Siff, President Board of Directors Ted Siff, President Austin Stowell Charles Peveto Ray Canfield, Treasurer Perry Lorenz Blake Tollett, Secretary Paul Byars Michael …
