The idea is to take the data, do the analytics and give the big picture insights so that teams can then turn that information into action items to better serve their customers. We collect research data and customer survey data. We also combine that with a lot of other data from other platforms We are able to pull ARR customers and tie that information to Census data or economic data to make sure that we are getting a representative sample every time we do a survey. We’re going to talk specifically about ARR today. We are gathering awareness and satisfaction insights, but also supporting strategic outcomes that the group might have. We build on existing data and we also communicate the impact of those results. We started back in 2015 by conducting a phone survey, since then we’ve moved the survey to on-line. In FY19 we had over 1000 responses. That’s a very good sample for any statistical analysis. As we’ve seen in the past, we don’t have al to of Spanish completions. We …

Item 3b Community Services Division/Neighborhood Services Unit Austin Public Health Strategic Plan 2020 -- 2024 Introduction In 2015, the US Department of Health and Human Services Department issued Information Memorandum No. 138 establishing organizational standards for Community Action Agencies (CAAs) who receive Community Services Block Grant funding. To ensure all CAAs began working toward meeting these standards, the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs requested documentation of approval of the Strategic Plan by the CSBG Advisory Board, in addition to specific Goals, Objectives, Strategy, Outcome and Output Measures included in the Strategic Plan. Austin Public Health’s Community Services Division/Neighborhood Services Unit (NSU) serves as the CSBG Community Action Agency for Travis County. The NSU uses CSBG funding as the primary source of support for the services provided by the Department’s six (6) neighborhood centers, including the Montopolis Community Center, a new permanent site, and three (3) outreach locations. In 2020, NSU also expanded services two to additional satellite locations in the Rundberg neighborhood and far East Austin. Austin Public Health has its own strategic plan. NSU submits a specific strategic plan for the work supported by CSBG through its Neighborhood Centers to meet TDHCA’s expectations. 2020 has been a year to remember due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The NSU continues to adapt to unpredictable circumstances and the predictable needs of our neighborhood center’s communities. The Community Development Commission continues to serve as the required CSBG Advisory Board. To develop the Strategic Plan for the work supported by CSBG through its Neighborhood Centers, several internal strategic planning sessions were conducted with 35+ employees which identified priorities to be addressed in the next five years. Moving forward, we will continue to work with Department leadership to ensure this Strategic Plan works hand in hand with the basic needs of our community. II. Purpose TDHCA’s Strategic Planning Guide cites several key factors that have served as our purpose for our strategic planning efforts: • To meet CSBG program requirements and CSBG grant purpose to address the reduction of poverty, the revitalization of low- income communities, and empower low-income persons to become self-sufficient • To demonstrate participation of low-income individuals in CAAs activities. • To produce decisions and actions that guide the organization’s program operations • To help prioritize efforts and determine the allocation of resources • To improve effectiveness and efficiency through agreed upon strategies and goals III. Mandates During the …

Planning Commission: October 13, 2020 NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET NEIGHORHOOD PLAN: Crestview/Wooten Combined (Crestview) CASE#: NPA-2020-0017.01 PROJECT NAME: 904 Morrow Street PC DATE: October 13, 2020 August 25, 2020 DATE FILED: February 27, 2020 (In-cycle) ADDRESSES: 902-904 Morrow Street DISTRICT AREA: 7 SITE AREA: 0.7433 acres OWNER/APPLICANT: Vineway, LLC AGENT: Thrower Design (A. Ron Thrower) CASE MANAGER: Maureen Meredith STAFF EMAIL: Maureen.meredith@austintexas.gov TYPE OF AMENDMENT: Change in Future Land Use Designation From: Single Family Base District Zoning Change To: Multifamily PHONE: (512) 974-2695 Related Zoning Case: C14-2020-0047 From: SF-3-NP To: MF-1-NP NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN ADOPTION DATE: April 1, 2004 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: October 13, 2020 – (pending) August 25, 2020 – Postponed to October 13, 2020 on the consent agenda at the request of the neighborhood. [A. Azhar-1st; R. Schneider – 2nd] Vote: 12-0 [J. Shieh recused due to a conflict of interest; owner of property near subject address]. 1 NPA-2020-0017.02 1 of 32B-4 Planning Commission: October 13, 2020 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommended for the applicant’s request for Multifamily land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for multifamily land use because it will add additional housing to the planning area and the city. Multifamily land use is appropriate for this location because there is multifamily land use to the north and east of the property. The proposed change would allow for additional residential units located near the North Lamar Boulevard Activity Corridor and the Crestview Station Town Center as identified on the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The Crestview Neighborhood Plan has objectives and recommendations that seek to protect existing single family uses and to also add housing types currently not available in the planning area for retirees and first time home buyers. The applicant’s proposal to build townhomes could help meet these goals. Land Use Objectives and Recommendations Land Use Objective 1: Preserve the character and affordability of the Crestview and Wooten Neighborhoods. Recommendations 1. Existing single-family residential areas should retain SF-3 zoning. Land Use Objective 5: Provide opportunities for the ultimate redevelopment of the Huntsman Petrochemical site to “complete” the neighborhood and create quality open space. Recommendations 1. Focus more intense commercial and mixed use development along Lamar Boulevard. a. Change the zoning for parcels fronting Lamar Boulevard to allow current uses to continue, but encourage redevelopment with more pedestrian-oriented mixed use. b. Prohibit or limit any additional development of incompatible industrial uses, such as basic …

PLANNING/ COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 13, 2020: August 25, 2020: TO GRANT POSTPONEMENT TO OCTOBER 13, 2020 AS REQUESTED BY NEIGHBORHOOD, ON CONSENT (12-0). [A. AZHAR; R. SCHNEIDER-2ND] J. SHIEH-RECUSED. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Planned to be scheduled for November 12, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: No issues were identified for this proposal. 1 of 13B-5 C14-2020-0047 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: NPA A Neighborhood Plan Amendment was filed requesting that the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) be modified from single family to multi-family residence for the subject tract. A Virtual Neighborhood Meeting was webcast on July 9, 2020. (www.speakupaustin.org/npa) Neighborhood Planning supports modifying the FLUM from single family to multi-family. DENSITY The applicant requests multi-family residence (limited density) – neighborhood plan (MF-1-NP) combining zone district to build 13 dwelling units on .74 acres (32,380 sq. ft.). The subject tract is on the north side of Morrow Street about 350 feet west of North Lamar Boulevard and about 700 feet east of Watson Street. The property is currently zoned family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) which allows a single family or duplex unit on a minimum of 5,750 square feet; about 7.6 units to the acre. The platted SF-3 zoned lots along the north side of Morrow Street were each about a half-acre (21,780 sq. ft.) or the equivalent of about 3.8 times the minimum lot size for the SF-3 zone district. Many of the SF-3 lots on Morrow Street and Taulbee Lane (one block north) are developed with two or more dwellings or have been subdivided to the same effect. The subject tracts addressed as 902 and 904 Morrow Street have about 160 feet of Morrow Street frontage and 200 feet of lot depth. The requested MF-1 zoning requires 8,000 square feet for a lot and permits up to 6 units per lot. The proposed development density is for 17 units per acre.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0093 – 4329 S Congress Ave DISTRICT: 3 ZONING FROM: CS-MU-NP TO: CS-MU-V-NP ADDRESS: 4329 – 4341 South Congress Avenue SITE AREA: 2.376 acres PROPERTY OWNER: South Congress Development LLC AGENT: Drenner Group PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Wendy Rhoades (512-974-7719, wendy.rhoades@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant general commercial services – mixed use – vertical mixed use building – neighborhood plan (CS-MU-V-NP) combining district zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 13, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Planned to be scheduled for November 12, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract is located on South Congress Avenue, is developed with a mobile food vending court and a self storage facility, and has had general commercial services – mixed use – neighborhood plan (CS-MU-NP) zoning since Council approved the East Congress Neighborhood Plan rezonings in August 2005. There are retail and various commercial services, auto-related uses and apartments along both sides of Congress Avenue in the vicinity (CS-MU-NP; CS-MU-V-NP; CS-MU-CO-NP/MF-6-CO-NP). Please see Exhibits A and A-1 – Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The Applicant proposes to rezone the property and add a vertical mixed use building (–V) combining district to the existing zoning and develop it with up to 280 apartment units and 5,500 square feet of ground floor retail and restaurant uses. The property is designated as Mixed Use on the adopted Future Land Use Map (as is most of South Congress Avenue in the neighborhood planning area), and the Mixed Use designation B-61 of 19 C14-2020-0093 Page 2 is defined as “An area that is appropriate for a mix of residential and non-residential uses.” South Congress Avenue is also designated as a Core Transit Corridor. During the Vertical Mixed Use Overlay (VMU) Opt-in/Opt-out process conducted by the Neighborhood Planning and Zoning Department in 2007-09, an application to designate certain properties as appropriate to add the –V combining district or exclude other properties from the VMU overlay was not filed by the South Congress Combined Planning Contact Team. The addition of –V provides an additional development option to a property and allows it to retain the ability to redevelop under the existing CS base district. A –V does not grant: 1) additional height to the base zoning district which is 60 feet in the CS district or 2) additional impervious cover which is limited to 80 …
