Motion to forward recommendation to Council to direct the City Manager to proceed with the amendments regarding a modified site plan process initiated in Resolution No. 20190221-027 (Affordability Unlocked Density Bonus Program). In the case of developments participating in the Affordability Unlocked program 'The Council intends for this program to: 8. require a modified site plan process that more closely resembles residential site plan while still addressing health and safety and addressing and reviewing drainage in the same way that drainage is addressed and reviewed for non-multifamily structures with the same impervious cover, including any adjustments to fee schedule as necessary, for developments with 12 or fewer units' (page 6-7) If a development meets all other program requirements 'but in addition has: 1. between 75% and 100% of its units at rates affordable as defined above; 2. at least 50% of the affordable units have two or more bedrooms; 3. at least 10% of the affordable units serve households with incomes 30% MFI or below; or 4. is located within 1/4 mile of an Imagine Austin Corridor that is served by a bus or transit line, then, in addition to the bonuses described above, the development may also: 3. require a modified site plan process that more closely resembles residential site plan while still addressing health and safety and addressing drainage in the same way that drainage is addressed for non-multifamily structures with the same impervious cover, including any adjustments to fee schedule as necessary, for developments with 16 or fewer units.'

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20210112-3D Date: January 12, 2021 Recommendation: Subject: The Importance of Consistent Community Development Commission (CDC) Evening Meeting Time Slots The CDC recognizes and deeply appreciates the hard work of city leaders, policymakers, and especially City Clerk staff for their arduous work in ensuring that the machinery of democracy, namely the convening of the City’s Boards and Commissions, continue to operate despite the manifold disruptive obstacles that the pandemic has introduced. It is also clear that the rapid adaptation of our meeting medium from physical to virtual has resulted in varying meeting times, shorter meetings, limitations in citizen communication, and an understandable reduction in all-around flexibility and predictability as related to meeting schedules. One of the key challenges is that meeting times are no longer fixed every month but often vary subject to the priorities at hand. In our commission’s example, this means that a meeting that typically happens during an evening time slot might suddenly be changed to a daytime slot, nearly exclusively prohibiting attendance from commissioners who don’t have the privileged flexibility to parse out large sections of the business/work day to fulfill their commission obligations. On this note, the CDC would like to point out the following: • Austin is infamously known (anecdotally and empirically) for being a city of exaggerated social, economic, and health disparities, many having resulted from explicitly racist municipal policy. • We are at a point where nearly 1 in 2 households are considered below Median Family Income (MFI) and at least 1 in 3 households are considered well below MFI. This is not an “us and them” situation: economic disparity has many faces, it can affect any of us, and it is doing so. • These disparities include income, despite working the same jobs, flexibility in schedules (or lack thereof), access to resources like childcare, transportation, social capital and the networking it produces, access to job training or related supportive services, and access to technology. • These disparities have only been magnified by the COVID pandemic which has demonstrated that race, ethnicity, zip code, primary language, and income, often as a result of many corresponding variables are the strongest correlating determinants in social, economic, and health outcomes of Austin residents. • Board members are liaisons who represent and advocate for low-income communities, and it must not be lost that they are members of those same communities: many members of …
