2020 Austin Climate Equity Plan September 2020 Summary ● We’ve been updating the Community Climate Plan o Draft for public comment out until September 30 o Council likely November 12 ● What we’re looking for from you: ○ Comments ○ Areas of Interest ○ Pledge of Support How was this plan update created? • 24 City Staff • 120 Community Members (NGO, Govt., Business) • 12 Ambassadors • 4 Equity Trainings • 5 Community Workshops (over 250 attendees) • 14 Steering Committee Meetings • 60+ Advisory Group Meetings • 50+ Interviews by Ambassadors A History of Inequities that Remains Today • The Austin 1928 Master Plan divided the city along racial lines, forcibly displacing Black residents into specific, undesirable areas. • The Tank Farm fuel storage facility, Eastside Landfill, and the Holly Power Plant exposed people of color to toxic pollution in East Austin neighborhoods. • Gentrification is taking place in parts of the city where low-income people and people of color have been forced to live, the African-American share of the Austin population declined from 12% in 1990 to 7.7% in 2010. • As of 2015, 52% of white Austin residents were homeowners, only 27% of African-American and 32% of Hispanic/Latinx residents owned homes. • Cases of COVID-19, hospitalization and mortality rates are disproportionately affecting Latinx and Black communities We are Changing the Earth’s Climate Warming over 2℃could be catastrophic to life on earth Climate Projections for Austin • Low-income communities and communities of color are disproportionately affected by climate hazards • • Experience climate shocks on top of existing economic stressors • Have less resources to bounce back from event Suffer long-term impacts to mental and physical health Our Commitment to Climate Equity Climate Change Eliminate the use of fossil fuels for energy & transportation Health Affordability Accessibility Energy efficiency Renewable energy Less dependence on cars Electric vehicles • • • • • More trees & natural spaces Healthier consumer choices • Cultural Preservation Community Capacity Just Transition Accountability Racial Equity Eliminate disparities that can be predicted by race • • • • • • Safety for all at all times No disproportionate economic outcomes Fair access to services for all Inclusive participation in our city Positive health outcomes for all Embrace culture & difference If we’re not proactively addressing equity, we’re perpetuating injustice.

After discussion, the WANG BoD voted unanimously to recognize and not oppose the renewal of the decision of your Board in 2017, case number C15-2017- 0053, that addressed virtually the same request here. Specifically: We noted that the current variance request does include a habitable space within the detached garage’s attic space and we felt the bath/changing room could be relocated to the open air patio area, an area by definition being non-habitable thus bringing this variance request much more in line with the 2017 decision. The addition of a further one foot incursion into the required yard setback being requested here was not addressed specifically by us. Thank you for your service to the community. Sincerely; Blake Tollett, Zoning WANG CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.

I am in favor of this variance. My name is Kathleen Harrington. I live at 4812 Ramsey Ave., Austin, TX 78756, which is across the street from the house proposed to be remodeled. My phone number is 512.565.2511. I am in favor of this variance, because it will improve the house, to a modest degree, and will not change the look of our neighborhood in any negative way, and in fact will improve things. The owners of the house in question are good neighbors and good citizens. They would like to remain in their very small house, but even with only one child, it is a tight squeeze. I believe the City of Austin should encourage families to remain in place, whenever possible, rather than have to move further out in order to afford a somewhat larger home to accommodate their growing families.

C-5/1-LATE BACKUP September 11, 2020 Dear Neighbor, My wife and I have recently moved into our house at 4700 Milburn Lane which she has owned since 2017. As we settle into the neighborhood, we have hopes of developing our property. We are interested in creating a dual use property with a main house for our family and an accessory dwelling unit for friends and family. We would like to build a separate, new dwelling for our primary use at the the existing original home (built in 1941) in its current location at the front of the property. In order to accomplish this development, we will be requesting a variance from the City of Austin Board of Adjustment. Currently the City requires that the larger unit be at the front of the property; this would require us to tear down the existing home and then site two new structures on the lot. of the property and keep rear We feel this would be wasteful and also would disturb the existing curb appeal of our property, by removing a historic home that we prefer to save. By allowing a variance we would be able to construct our new home in the rear of the lot and thereby minimize the change of the current curb view. This would also minimize disturbance to the trees on the lot. If you would be in support of the City granting a variance for this type of project on our lot, we would appreciate your signature of agreement. This form will be submitted along with our application for variance to show neighborhood support for our request. Thank you! 4701 Milburn Lane __________________________ Willism S.
