12 Preservation Bonus Affordability Statement — original pdf
Affordability Impact Statement Preservation Bonus Code Amendment Resolution No. 20240718-090 Date: 3/18/2025 Proposed Regulation In December of 2023, the City Council approved Ordinance No. 20231207-001 (HOME Phase 1), which authorized up to three housing units on a site and created provisions to encourage property owners to utilize the new provisions and to slow the pace of ongoing demolitions of older existing homes. Specifically, these provisions allow a property owner to exclude the square footage of the existing home from the floor-to-area (FAR) calculations (i.e. how a property owner calculates the site’s maximum square footage limits) in exchange for preserving an existing structure. Currently, the two new units are limited to the greater of .55 or 3,200 square feet. In July 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 20240718-090, which initiated an amendment to City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to increase the maximum square footage limits for two new units when the property owner preserves the existing housing unit. Specifically, the Resolution requested a code amendment to allow two new units to achieve the greater of 0.65 or 4,350 square feet. Land Use/Zoning Impacts on Housing Costs The proposed changes would have a neutral impact on housing costs: As of March 17th, 2025, Development Services Department (DSD) has approved 284 applications for new construction under HOME Phase 1 amendments; only 1% of those applications have used the existing preservation bonus. The proposed ordinance increases the allowable space for the two new units, which increases property owners’ incentive to use the preservation bonus, therefore further incentivizing utilization of the zoning changes provided under HOME Phase 1. In alignment with the goals of the HOME amendments, the ordinance intends to reduce demolition rates while increasing infill housing in middle income communities. 12 Preservation Bonus1 of 2 However, the FAR increase does not change the total density allowed by right on Single-Family (SF) zoned property (SF-1, SF-2, SF-3). The ordinance does not alter land use in a way that will impact housing costs. Impact on Development Cost The proposed changes would have a neutral impact on development cost: The ordinance does not fundamentally change construction expenses. It maintains the same provisions for developers that are articulated in the HOME Phase I amendments: • “Subchapter F” design rules are entirely waived for duplex, two-unit, and three-unit project, reducing architecture and engineering labor time. • The preservation incentive can be cost-effective for development. If an …

12 Preservation Bonus Memo — original pdf
March 31, 2025 RE: Preservation Bonus Code Amendment Dear Members of Austin City Council and Austin Planning Commission, Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write today in support of the proposed code amendment, which seeks to rectify Council and Planning Commission’s intent for the Preservation Bonus’s FAR entitlement. The Preservation Bonus aims to promote preservation and disincentivize demolition, creating net benefits for preservation, affordability, anti-displacement, and sustainability. Between 2010 and 2021, Austin averaged 514 residential demolitions per year. Research from ReUse People shows that the average size of a demolished home in Austin is 1100 sq ft, while research from AIA Austin’s Housing Advocacy Committee shows that new homes average over 2,800 sq ft. We are losing older, smaller, more affordable homes to larger, less affordable ones daily. In a development climate that incentivizes demolition, the Preservation Bonus creates more opportunities to preserve for those who want to take it. Recalibrating the bonus’s FAR entitlements to match the Planning Commission and Council’s intent is the first step in making the bonus work for more potential projects. Council’s July resolution directed staff to explore additional entitlements, including allowing relocated pre-1961 homes to access the bonus, reducing rear and front setbacks, and allowing for front/back subdivisions. In addition to these recommendations from Council, increasing site coverage and entitling Preservation Bonus projects to a fourth unit will increase the bonus’s efficacy in adding density to historic neighborhoods (see attached memo for additional info). Preservation Austin, Austin Infill Coalition, and AIA Austin’s Housing Advocacy Committee are honored to partner with City Council and the Planning Commission to create this Preservation Bonus. We look forward to our continued collaboration to make the bonus stronger, unlock its potential to save more Austin homes from the landfill, and generate more housing. Sincerely, Melissa Barry, President 12 Preservation Bonus1 of 3 MEMORANDUM DATE: March 28, 2024 TO: Austin City Council FROM: Preservation Austin SUBJECT: Preservation Bonus Improvements & Recommendations On Tuesday, March 26 Preservation Austin, the Austin Infill Coalition, and AIA Austin’s Housing Advocacy Committee shared the following recommendations for improving the Preservation Bonus with Austin City Council’s Housing & Planning Committee. See our report summarizing our recommendations here and a copy of our presentation here. Current Preservation Bonus For structures built on or before 31 December 1960, the area of the existing dwelling can …

From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Drew Zerdecki Boudreaux, Marcelle Roig, José G; Mars, Keith Interested Party Registration re 1700 S. Lamar (2024-146417 ZC) Thursday, February 27, 2025 5:26:07 PM You don't often get email from vp-zoning@zilkerneighborhood.org. Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Hello, I'm Drew Zerdecki, VP of Zoning of the Zilker Neighborhood Association (ZNA), and I am requesting that ZNA be registered as an interested party pursuant to LDC § 25-1-131 in connection with the proposed rezoning of 1700 S. Lamar Blvd. (Case No. 2024-146417 ZC). ZNA has a vested interest in this site, which is located within 500 feet of the association’s boundaries. We seek to engage in the review process given the substantial community impact of this development. The ZNA's issues of concern with respect to the proposed application include: Transit & Safety: The South Lamar at Evergreen/Collier is a crucial intersection in the area, and more attention is needed from the developers and City, especially given the under-funded status of the 2016 Mobility Bond’s Corridor Improvement Program and neighboring projects, such as the 400+ unit mixed-use development that is now well-underway at 2001 S. Lamar, where all its north and south-bound Lamar vehicular traffic will necessarily flow through Mary St to Evergreen Ave, to the intersection at 1700 S. Lamar Blvd, due to the practical impossibility of accessing the intersection at S.Lamar and Heather\W.Mary St. Other necessary infrastructure Affordable Housing. Clarity is needed as to how many community members in need will benefit. Parking: Nearby residents have raised concerns about potential overflow parking and the impact on existing neighborhoods. Green Space & Tree Preservation: Let's preserve trees and integrate meaningful green space. Pedestrian & Bike Accessibility: Let's help ensure safe and practical infrastructure for non-vehicular traffic. Public Transit: A new 803 bus stop near Collier is essential for improved accessibility. Request for Confirmation: 04 C14-2024-0163 - 1700 South Lamar; District 91 of 2 Please confirm when ZNA has been officially registered as an interested party for this case. Additionally, I request confirmation that all future notifications regarding this rezoning application will be sent to vp-zoning@zilkerneighborhood.org. I can be reached via email at vp-zoning@zilkerneighborhood.org or by phone for any follow-up. Thank you for your time and attention. Best regards, Drew Zerdecki VP of Zoning, Zilker Neighborhood Association CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments. If …
