ADDRESS: 707 Rio Grande Street PROPERTY OWNER: Rio Grande Street Partners, LP (Diana G. Zuniga) CASE MANAGER Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov ) AGENT: Jackson Walker L.L. P. (Pam Madere) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Downtown Mixed Use – Conditional Overlay (DMU-CO) combining district zoning. The Conditional Overlay would limit height to 60 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: January 28, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: February 20, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES No issues have been identified for this request. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The site at 707 Rio Grande is at the west edge of the Central Business District. The 0.21 acre (9,012 sq. ft.) parcel currently has a two story office building and surface parking. There are two historic landmarks next to the subject site, Sayers and Gilfillan House, both used for office purposes. Applicant requests a change from general office (GO) zone district to downtown mixed use (DMU) zone district to permit re-development of the site with a larger building. The current GO zone district permits 60 feet in height, a Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) of 1:1, maximum building coverage of 60%, and maximum impervious coverage of 80%. 1 of 10B-11 C14-2019-0156 2 The proposed DMU zone district permits 120 foot height, FAR of 5:1, and maximum building and impervious coverage of 100%. The height is capped by a Capitol View Corridor Overlay: Barton Creek Pedestrian Bridge. The subject property is located in the Downtown Austin Plan (DAP): Northwest district and mapped as proposed DMU-60 district. That district would be Downtown Mixed Use (DMU) uses with a 60 foot height maximum. The requested DMU zone district is intended to be a transition to Central Business District (CBD) zoning. The request is consistent with the DAP and pattern of rezoning in the Northwest district. There are many parcels zoned DMU within a 2 block radius of the subject site including the adjacent properties to the south. CBD zoned properties are about one block south and 3 blocks east. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. Zoning should not constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner; Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. …
604 West 11th Street Austin, TX 78701 www.originalaustin.org 14 January 2020 Mr. Mark Graham City of Austin | Planning and Zoning Department 505 Barton Springs Road Austin, TX 78704 RE: 707 Rio Grande Street (C14-2019-0156) Dear Mr. Graham, On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Old Austin Neighborhood Association (OANA), I am writing you to express our qualified support of Case C14-2019-0156, the re-zoning of at 707 Rio Grande Street from GO-H to DMU. OANA has supported zoning change requests from GO to DMU since the Northwest District (NWD) component of the Downtown Austin Plan (DAP) was completed almost a decade ago. While our mission is to enhance and protect the historic and residential character of the neighborhood, this property has been provided professional office space use for decades and we respect the applicant’s intention to continue that use. Our support of this zoning change is also consistent with the new draft of Land Development Code (LDC) as passed by the Austin City Council on first reading last month. However, our support is qualified by the request that the following uses be prohibited through a restrictive covenant on the property. We offer below the following wording for this prohibition: “Prohibited Uses: Outdoor sound amplification devices (other than alarms or other required safety equipment) shall be prohibited at any business located at this property. This does not prohibit ambient sound, acoustic sound, music intended as an unobtrusive accompaniment to an activity, music generated indoors, alarms, required safety equipment, or electronic devices used in a day to day manner. In addition, the following uses (as defined by the Land Development Code) shall be prohibited at this property: bail bond services; exterminating services; funeral services; pawn shop services; limited warehousing services; hospital services; music venue; and cocktail lounge.” Our support is also qualified by the request that any new development of this property make reasonable accommodations to its neighboring property owners at 701 and 709 Rio Grande. We expect Mr. Blair Fox, the neighboring property owner at 709 Rio Grande to either submit a letter and/or be present at the Planning Commission on January 14th to explain his concerns and the nature of the accommodations he might need. Thank you for your consideration of this correspondence. Sincerely, Ted Siff, President Board of Directors Ted Siff, President Austin Stowell Charles Peveto Ray Canfield, Treasurer Perry Lorenz Blake Tollett, Secretary Paul Byars Michael …

ACTION: CITY COUNCIL DATE: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Association BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: ORDINANCE NUMBER: PHONE: 974-6454 1 of 47B-13 The house is a simple frame box house that has been modified with the application of a stone veneer and replacement windows. The changes to the house are significant but made by Edward Rendon, for whom this house is being commemorated. Historical Associations: The house appears to have been built in 1931 by W.A. and Lillian Darter, who lived here until around 1946. W.A. Darter was a welder who opened his own welding and radiator shop around 1934. After the Darters moved out around 1946, the house became a rental property through the early 1950s; the tenants were Paul G. and Ebba Lundell; Paul G. Lundell was a house painter. Theresa Martinez, an attendant at Austin State Hospital, is listed as the owner of the house in the 1959 city directory. Around 1961, the house was purchased by Edward B. and Connie Rendon, who lived here for the rest of their lives. Edward Rendon was in …

January 13, 2020 Mr. Andrew Rivera City of Austin Planning and Zoning Department Via E-mail: andrewrivera@austintexas.gov RE: 1705 Haskell Street Austin, TX 78702 - La Casa Rendon Dear Mr. Rivera, I’m writing on behalf of Hispanic Advocates Business Leaders of Austin (HABLA), a local "THINK TANK" group and forum made up of local Hispanic/Latino community and business leaders including native East Austinites committed to discussing and developing sustainable solutions on current affairs, public policies and quality of life issues impacting our local Austin Hispanic/Latino community to formalize our support for the historical designation request for the single family residence at 1705 Haskell Street, also known as La Casa Rendon. Mr. Edward Rendon, a long-time native resident was a civic activist and stone mason who did the stonework on the home. For decades Mr. Rendon as a community leader hosted meetings in his home in an effort to address the needs, concerns, interests and quality of life issues of East Austin residents. HABLA also supported the renaming of Festival Beach/Holly Shores in honor of Mr. Rendon. The privileging of some sites over others often manifested itself in the destruction of places associated with our Mexican-American/Latino history. And sadly, too often our historic places have been sacrificed in the name of city and county progress. With this loss of physical places, the culture and stories are the only remnants of this important history. It is critically important that the history of Mexican-American neighborhoods, our stories and people are preserved and shared especially at a time when development is rapidly changing the face of East Austin. A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots. We fully support the Historic Designation for La Casa Rendon. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Paul M. Saldaña, Co-Founder & Facilitator HABLA

We want to make you aware that we brought legal issues relating to process and procedure involving the notification and filing of an application for the historic designation of this property to City Staff’s attention in early December. Yesterday, we received a response from City Staff that they believe process and procedure was followed appropriately. We adamantly disagree and stand by our concerns for the legality of action taken by the Historic Landmark Commission to rezone this property without procedures being followed. Admittedly, the City has been inconsistent in applying said procedures for some time. Even so, the code has notification requirements to provide fair notice to people within 500 feet and especially to the property owner of significant action to be taken on a property. The rezoning of a property is a substantial and significant action to take and should be taken seriously as the impacts of a rezoning are substantial regardless of one’s perception of those impacts being helpful or detrimental. Separately, we are requesting a postponement at this time as the majority property Owner, Rose Rubio, is dealing with an extremely significant and fragile family emergency. As such, Rose and her immediate family cannot attend the evening of the 14th and have requested that a postponement be granted so that they can be with their family at this time. We respectfully ask for your compassion for the Rubio Family at this time and your support for a postponement. We are available if you have any questions at this time. Thank you, Victoria Haase Thrower Design 510 South Congress Avenue, Suite 207 Mail: P.O. Box 41957 Austin, Texas 78704 512-476-4456 B-131 of 1

PARKLAND IMPROVEMENT, MANAGEMENT, AND OPERATIONS AGREEMENT AMENDMENT NO. 1 BETWEEN THE CITY OF AUSTIN, AUSTIN PARKS FOUNDATION, AND DOWNTOWN AUSTIN PARKS, LLC Agreement Overview The City of Austin (City), Austin Parks Foundation (APF), and the Downtown Austin Alliance (DAA) agreed that the public benefits of Republic Square Park would be substantially enhanced through the re-improvement of the Park in accordance with a previously developed Republic Square Master Plan for the Park. They further agreed that this goal could best be achieved by utilizing the services of APF and DAA as non-profits in connection with the re-improvement management, and operation of the Park. On February 10, 2015, the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) entered into a Parkland Improvement, Management, and Operations Agreement with APF and the DAA for Republic Square, which is parkland property leased to the City by the State of Texas. • APF was responsible for the design, permitting, bidding, and construction of improvements to Republic Square that conformed to the Republic Square Master Plan. • Upon completion of the construction of improvements, DAA became responsible for the management and operation of Republic Square. After the execution of the contract, DAA assigned the agreement to Downtown Austin Parks, LLC. (DAP) on September 9, 2016, with the approval of the PARD director. • PARD performed all maintenance with no reimbursement to DAA. Later, DAA began performing baseline landscaping services (mowing, horticulture and litter abatement) for PARD. As such, PARD agreed to annually reimburse DAA $7,000 for these services and $7,000 for utilities based on the three previous year’s average. On December 13, 2018, City Council approved Resolution No. 20181213-018 to authorize an amendment to allow the City Manager to maintain and approve the list of events requiring full closure of the Park annually and setting a limit at 20 such events per year and for any events in excess of 20 the City Manager is directed to obtain Council approval. What is the Purpose of the Agreement? The purpose of this Agreement is to amend (Amendment No. 1) the Parkland Improvement, Management, and Operations Agreement Between the Austin Parks Foundation, a Texas nonprofit corporation (”APF”), Downtown Austin Parks, LLC, a Texas nonprofit corporation (“DAP”), and the City of Austin for Republic Square What Does the Amendment Address?

Strategic Direction 2023 (SD23) Briefing to: Community Development Commission (CDC) December 10, 2019 Impetus for Strategic Direction Research conducted in 2017, a few years into the City’s new 10-1 system of geographic district representation, concluded four areas for the organization to address: 1. Lack of clear, shared citywide priorities 2. Shared sense that City is not dealing with critical issues that will determine its future 3. Effective governance has been a challenge 4. Inadequate feedback and learning loops As a single playbook for the City of Austin, this strategic direction addresses these areas of opportunity and establishes a framework for effective governance going forward. SD 23 was adopted by the Austin City Council on March 8, 2018 to guide the City of Austin for the next three to five years. 2 The Six Strategic Outcomes 3 Outcomes by Department 4 Economic Opportunity & Affordability Challenges we face: 1. How might we break the cycle of poverty and inequity so that all residents experience economic mobility? 2. How might we maintain a resilient economy, e.g. supporting small businesses and skilled workforce, that provides equitable opportunities for people and business? 3. How might we ensure Austin’s land use policies, processes and programs help create more complete communities (i.e. communities where people’s basic needs can be met with short trips) in our city? 4. As cost of living rises, how might we increase equitably distributed options for household affordability in all parts of town? 5. How might we leverage both prevention and service delivery to reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness in Austin? 5 Economic Opportunity & Affordability Indicators: A. Employment Sample metric: Unemployment rate (segmented by key demographics such as race and age) B. Income equality Sample metric: Number and percentage of residents living below the poverty level C. Cost of living compared to income Sample metric: Percentage of households that are considered cost- burdened based on calculation of housing and transportation costs relative to income (utilities, child care, property tax, and health care costs to be added as data becomes available) 6 Economic Opportunity & Affordability Indicators: D. Housing Sample metric: Number and percentage of residential plan reviews completed on-time E. Homelessness Sample metric: Number and percentage of persons who successfully exit from homelessness F.
