Advisory Group and Task Force Subcommittee Reports Water Forward Task Force Meeting | April 14, 2021 Aquifer Storage and Recovery Technical Advisory Group Presented Phase 1a project approach Session 1: • Discussion Session 2: • Project technical tasks • Community engagement/equity and affordability tasks • Discussion Climate Technical Advisory Group Presented Water Forward project background and previous climate analysis • Topic 1: General circulation models (GCMs) and climate scenarios to be used in analysis. In the Water Forward 2018 analysis, 20 GCMs from CMIP 5 were used for analysis. Discussed pros/cons of using CMIP5 or CMIP6 • Several CTAG members recommended using CMIP5 over CMIP6 because the 6 models are very new and the community has not had a chance to vet them yet • Could potentially still use CMIP6 if we were selective about which models to use • Need to evaluate whether CMIP6 provides data that CMIP5 does not different variables, different variable reporting frequencies, large ensembles, etc. • Start with CMIP5 and have the climate consultant automate the process so that CMIP6 data could be fed in as it is available • Get recommendation from consultant • Discuss GCMs appropriate for use in this region change) • Discussed selection of climate scenarios (for example, choosing RCPs or SSPs to represent various degrees of warming or other potential impacts of climate Topic 2: Downscaling methodology and downscaled GCM outputs • Discussed possible downscaling approaches appropriate for the Colorado River basin and Central Texas region • Discussed possible validation approaches for downscaled data outputs Questions and Discussion

PROPERTY OWNER: Factor Real Estate LLC (Alvin Morin) AGENT: Permit Solutions LLC (Jennifer Smith) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends CS-1, Commercial-Liquor Sales District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 20, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 24B-6 C14-2021-0024 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a 0.037 acre vacant parcel of land l ocated at the southeast corner of Tech Ridge Boulevard and East Yager Lane. Surrounding land uses includes undeveloped land directly to the north and an industrial/office campus to the northeast (Dell Parmer South Campus), across Tech Ridge Boulevard. To the south, there is a developing hotel/ motel use and multifamily complex (Atrium at Tech Ridge). The lot to the east contains a hotel/motel use (Townplace Suites). The tract of land to the west is undeveloped. The applicant is requesting a 1,625 sq. ft. fo otprint of CS-1 zoning to develop a liquor store. The property is part of a larger site with an approved site plan for a gas station/convenience store, drive in/fast food restaurant (see SP-2 018-0086C – Exhibit C). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Commercial-Liquor Sales district is intended predominately for commercial and industrial activities of a service nature which typically have operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments, and specifically includes liquor sales as a permitted use. 2. The proposed zoning should allow for a reasonable use of the property. The CS-1 zoning district would allow for a fair and reasonable use of the site. A 1,625 sq. ft. footprint of CS-1 zoning is appropriate at this location as it will be part of a larger retail/restaurant development at the corner of a major intersection. It is consistent with surrounding land uses because of the commercial character of the area. The proposed rezoning will allow for additional retail uses to provide services to the industrial campus to the northeast and to the multifamily use to the south. 3. Zoning should promote the policy of locating retail and more intensive zoning near the intersections of arterial roadways or at the intersections of arterials and major collectors. This …

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The applicant is proposing an affordable housing multifamily development and is requesting a change in the future land use map from Civic to Multifamily. Staff recommends the applicant’s request for Multifamily land use because the property in located in an area with multifamily zoning directly to the north and east of the property. The East Riverside/Oltorf Combined Neighborhood Plan future land use map does not have a land use designation on the properties surrounding the site with multifamily zoning. These properties were removed from the future land use map during the neighborhood planning process with the intent to revisit them in the future. The properties without a land use designation are primarily zoned multifamily and commercial. The neighborhood plan document supports affordable housing, although it specifies for only specific properties in the planning area. Staff believes the City’s need for affordable housing should be broadened to meet the affordable housing needs of the City.

The petition, a map and list of property owners within the petition area and signatures received to date are included in Exhibit E: Formal Petition. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is approximately 7.82 acres and is located on the eastside of Parker Lane. It is currently zoned SF-3-NP and is occupied by the Ward Memorial United Methodist Church. Adjacent to the north of this property is a tract zoned MF-2 and to the east are tracts zoned MF-3 and GR. Adjacent to the south is a tract zoned SF-3-NP. Across Parker Lane to the west are tracts zoned MF-3-NP, SF-6-NP and SF-3-NP, please see Exhibit A: Zoning Map and Exhibit B: Aerial Map. The Ward Memorial United Methodist Church has a designated Texas Historical Marker. Should redevelopment occur on this site, the demolition review process for this building would depend on the property ownership.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 4 TO: SF-4A-NP CASE: C14-2021-0005.SH ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP ADDRESS: 1021 East St. Johns Avenue SITE AREA: 0.29 acres (12669.80 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: Talia at E St Johns LLC (Kenda Dawwami) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request for rezoning to SF-4A-NP. AGENT: Civilitude LLC (Conor Kenny) For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 13, 2021: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: May 6, 2021: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 9B-4 C14-2021-0005.SH 2 ISSUES: The proposed rezoning would allow construction of 8 detached single family units. The applicant proposes that four of these units will be sold to households at or below 80% Median Family Income (MFI). As a SMART Housing project, the units would be subject to a minimum 5-year affordability period after issuance of a certificate of occupancy, unless funding requirements are longer. Please see Exhibit C- SMART Housing Letter. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The rezoning tract is located at the southwest corner of Providence Avenue and St Johns Avenue, roughly midway between IH 35 and Cameron Road. The undeveloped property is zoned SF-3-NP and is surrounded by single family and duplex properties in all directions for several blocks. Further to the west, past Bennet Avenue and closer to IH 35, are commercial properties with a mix of zoning designations ranging from LR-MU-CO-NP to LI-CO-NP. These properties include a pharmacy, fast food restaurants, limited warehousing and distribution, congregate living, and medical offices. To the east, closer to Cameron Road, are properties zoned MF-3-NP and GR-MU-CO-NP with land uses including multifamily residential, general retail sales (limited), fast food restaurants, food sales and more. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the applicant’s request of SF-4A-NP. This would allow development of 8 detached single family residences on a .26 acre lot that currently only allows 2 residential units. This would provide alternative housing types in the predominately single family area. As a SMART Housing development, the property would allow households earning below 80% MFI to achieve homeownership in an area with a mix of housing types and commercial services. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. The rezoning should be consistent with the policies and principles adopted by the City Council …
