Of special concern was the vulnerable nature ofthe neighborhood due to its relative isolation and susceptibility to the negative effectsof larger scale projects in the vicinity. (Resolution No 990603-81, Austin City CouncilMeeting, June 3, 1999) Today, the Rainey Neighborhood has eleven infill projects invarious stages of the permitting process for new development with five of thoseprojects surpassing 45 stories in height.There are significant mobility issues in the Rainey Neighborhood as a result of therapid growth predicted in 1999. Factors that contributed to these issues include: theabsence of any process that assessed the infrastructure prior to the upzone from SF-3to CBD; the lack of process that studied, optimized and informed the appropriate levelof density and mixed-use for the area; and Rainey is bordered on three sides by WallerCreek, Lady Bird Lake and IH-35, leaving only two main access points in and out ofthe neighborhood. Rainey was built to accommodate single-family homes on longblocks, a pattern that impedes circulation, unlike the street grid in the downtown corewith shorter blocks that create connectivity. Add to the mix a maximum FAR of 15:1with unlimited height. To date, Rainey has yet to implement a comprehensive masterplan. In the absence of a plan, and given the accelerated pace with which newdevelopment is occurring in the area, the neighborhood is requesting that these fiveconditions be formally adopted in the Rainey Street Subdistrict.▪ Adopt a comprehensive mobility plan, like the Rainey Traffic Study, formed collaboration with the Rainey Neighbors Association, specifically addressing the unique mobility issues in the Rainey Subdistrict.▪ Approval of current entitlements, 8:1 FAR and below, for site plans on the condition that they are accompanied by corresponding improved infrastructure, especially mobility infrastructure that is based on the 34 mobility recommendations outlined in the Rainey Street Traffic Study.▪ Approve infill that does not alter the current street dimensions nor speed limit.▪ Approve infill that promotes ancillary amenities in addition to restaurants, such as retail that provides goods and services to Rainey residents.▪ Amend code to …

1 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and Council From: Gregory I. Guernsey, AICP, Director Planning and Zoning Department Date: March 29, 2018 Subject: Future of Small Area Planning/Pilot North Lamar Imagine Austin Corridor Plan Background In May 2018 I distributed a memorandum which outlined a recommended approach to developing new types of small area plans and a new way to select future planning areas. The memorandum also identified two corridors within which the Planning and Zoning Department (PAZ) proposed to develop pilot Imagine Austin Corridor Plans (see attachment A). Since then, PAZ staff has: (cid:120) Engaged with numerous City departments; (cid:120) Reviewed relevant city policy documents; (cid:120) Researched existing conditions along the North Lamar Corridor; (cid:120) Begun to identify the scope of work for a pilot planning process; and (cid:120) Briefed the Planning Commission, Zoning and Platting Commission, and Small Area Plan Joint Committee, and made several public presentations including a presentation in coordination with the AIA Austin Urban Design Committee and a presentation at the January General Meeting of the Austin Neighborhoods Council. Upcoming Request for Council Action PAZ anticipates requesting Council to formally initiate a pilot Imagine Austin Corridor Plan along North Lamar between IH 35 and US 183. This request will ask Council to consider approving a resolution that: (cid:120) Identifies a study area for the pilot North Lamar Imagine Austin Corridor Plan; (cid:120) Outlines the scope of the pilot planning process; (cid:120) Provides direction related to public engagement; (cid:120) Provides policy guidance related to enabling transit-supportive development patterns that will leverage near-term mobility investments and support future mobility options envisioned by Project Connect and the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan while accommodating and preserving affordable housing consistent with the Strategic Housing Blueprint, and supporting other major elements of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan; and 2 (cid:120) Directs staff to collect and analyze data throughout the planning process that will allow lessons learned to be incorporated into future Imagine Austin Corridor planning processes. Timing and Next Steps We anticipate bringing forward a Request for Council Action related to initiation of the North Lamar Imagine Austin Corridor Plan at the April 25 Regular Meeting of City Council. Based on recent inquiries we have received from a few Council offices, as well as discussions we have had with internal agency partners, we recognize that there may be a desire to delay initiation of the Pilot North Lamar Imagine Austin Corridor Plan.
