DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: AUSTIN EXISTING DENSITY BONUS PROGRAM – LDC-RELATED BONUS AREA January 28, 2020 LDC Revision Team, City of Austin Ian Carlton and Michelle Anderson, ECONorthwest 1. Background and Purpose As part of the Land Development Code (LDC) Revision process, the City of Austin is seeking assistance to determine the appropriate amount of fees that developers may pay in lieu of building affordable housing units where the City’s existing affordable housing density bonus programs apply. The LDC-related affordable housing density bonus programs (bonus areas) are the Downtown Density Bonus Program (including the Rainey Street Subdistrict) and the University Neighborhood Overlay (see Exhibit 1). This memorandum presents ECONorthwest’s analysis of in-lieu fees for LDC-related bonus areas, documenting methods and recommended per-square foot fees. The goal of the analysis is to inform the City’s discussions about setting new in-lieu fees that capture a portion of the upside (or development benefit) of a density bonus, without discouraging developers from utilizing the bonus program. This will help address Austin City Council’s goal of increasing affordable housing capacity from bonus programs and encouraging the production of income- restricted housing by the private market. This analysis focuses only on calibrating in-lieu fees. It does NOT evaluate recalibration of the affordable housing bonus incentives or affordable housing performance requirements in the bonus areas; nor does it offer recommendations to change or improve the housing capacity delivered in each bonus area. Such a calibration would potentially adjust the target incomes and/or the set-aside required. Per direction from the City of Austin, this fee analysis assumed that these aspects of the LDC-related bonus programs do not change.

Approach ECONorthwest worked with City of Austin staff, primarily with the Neighborhood Housing and Community Development (NHCD) department, to define an approach for calibrating the fees in lieu of affordable housing for both the Downtown Density Bonus Program (Downtown) and the University Neighborhood Overlay (UNO). At the highest level, this analysis evaluates the value a density bonus provides so that public benefits can be appropriately calibrated. …

Mclean) AGENT: McClean & Howard LLP (Jeffery S. Howard) CASE MANAGER: Kate Clark (512-974-1237, kate.clark@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends multifamily residence – medium density (MF-3) district zoning for Tract 1, and community commercial – mixed use (GR-MU) combining district zoning for Tract 2. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2 and 3. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 18, 2020 Scheduled for Zoning and Platting Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: March 12, 2020 Scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 13B-02 C14-2020-0001 2 ISSUES The western portion of this property that is covered by floodplain is currently zoned rural residential (RR) district. Staff received an email from a neighbor expressing concern about rezoning the RR area to another base zoning district. It was part of the City’s past zoning practice to zone floodplain areas as RR to reduce development in those areas. In the early 2000’s Council directed staff to stop this practice and let the environmental regulations of the City’s code dictate what could and could not be built within the floodplain and other environmentally sensitive areas. If the applicant is granted their rezoning request, they would be subject to all current code regulations and restrictions to development in these areas. All communications received on this rezoning case can be found in Exhibit C: Correspondence Received. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is undeveloped and approximately 23.24 acres in size. It is bound by three roads: Alum Rock Drive, Colton Bluff Springs Road and McKinney Falls Parkway. It is currently zoned RR, single family residence – small lot (SF-4A) district zoning, single family residence – small lot – conditional overlay (SF-4A-CO) and neighborhood commercial – mixed use (LR- MU) combined district zoning. Across Colton Bluff Springs Road to the north are single family residential homes zoned SF-4A and open space (floodplain areas) zoned single family residence – standard lot (SF-2). Across McKinney Falls Parkway to the east are properties zoned LR, community commercial (GR), SF-4A, and townhouse and condominium residence (SF-6) district zoning. All of these properties are undeveloped. Adjacent to the south are properties within the …
