AUSTIN CONVENTION CENTER EXPANSION: PROMISES AND PERFORMANCE HEYWOOD SANDERS UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT SAN ANTONIO C.H. JOHNSON CONSULTING, INC. Experts In Convention , Sport and Real Estate Consulting the obstacles to future growth in Austin's Convention Center business have continued to mount. Table 2-1 summarizes the major reasons for lost business. The reasons are distributed by the number of room nights lost. Table 2-1 Reasons for Lost Business Primary Reason Facility dates unavailable Inadequate meeting space Lack of large hotel Room rates Political Large room block not available Location No response from hotels Meeting canceled Other reasons Room Nights Lost % of Total 69,820 31,045 28,155 25,133 11,874 11, 130 11,002 9,625 9,175 33,488 29% 13% 12% 10% 5% 5% 5% 4% 4% 14% Source :Austin Convention and Visitor's Bureau Meeting planners reported the lack of available facility dates more than any other reason for not using the Convention Center. The lack of available dates stems from the size of the facility, which prevents the occurrence of simultaneous events. Lack of adequate meeting space was the second most frequently cited problem. The availability of hotel rooms at reasonable rates is also important. Hotel-related factors (four categories in total) account for over 31 percent of the lost business . Additional hotel supply and greater cooperation from tl1e existing hotel community are essential if the city is to realize its meeting market potential. The current convention center is too small to accommodate Austin's pot ential demand . Center management is now facing severe problems in its attempts to retain a number of annual repeating events . Many national rotating events that previously came to Austin and liked the community cannot return because they are now too large for the facility . Many state events have also outgrown the facility. The chart below shows potential scenarios for exhibit-hall occupancy under three potential growth rates (2, 4, and 6 percent) . Exhibit-hall occupancy is the number of days an exhibition hall is rented (including move-in and move- OUt days) divided by the number of days in the year.

City Staff: Kevin Shunk, Watershed Protection Department, (512) 974-9176, Kevin.Shunk@austintexas.gov; (Discussion and/or Possible Action). Facilitator: Commissioner Barrera-Ramirez, Chair of COJC City Attorney: None 1 Kevin Shunk gives an overview of the proposed floodplain changes that are related to Atlas 14. This would be a commercial redevelopment exception, similar to how the residential changes worked for Atlas 14. This would be for commercial redevelopment, not new development. The factors that will be included will be related to use and square footage. VMU buildings will be treated as commercial for the purposes of the exception, as opposed to residential. The main factor for mitigating the flood risk is to raise the building 2 feet above floodplain level (freeboard). The exception would allow the redevelopment of the properties only if the occupant load and footprint remain the same. The height would have be redefined to allow for the freeboard so that it doesn’t contribute to the height calculation. Multifamily was included in the residential exception because it’s possible to get the review data easily for those projects, whereas the mixed use buildings are harder to determine what the commercial/residential mix is, and the first floor is typically commercial. A motion was made to recommend the item to Planning Commission for initiation by Commissioner Azhar, seconded by Commissioner Denkler. …

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 15, 2022: January 18, 2021: Postpone to February 15, 2022 at request of Zoning and Platting Commission, approved on consent. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 10B-10 C14-2021-0159 2 ISSUES: A portion of the property is located within the 100 year flood plain, and the remainder of the property is located within Critical Water Quality and Water Quality Transition Zones (CWQZ and WQTZ). The majority of the property is located in the WQTZ and is therefore limited by Code to 18% impervious cover. Consequently, the rezoning is primarily requested to determine land uses, setbacks and building height. Please see Exhibit C- Applicant Letter. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the south side of FM 969 approximately 2 miles west of Loop 360. The existing I-RR zoning was applied to the property when the area was annexed in 2007. The undeveloped property is located within the West Bull Creek watershed and subject to Water Supply Suburban regulations and is also subject to Hill Country Roadways and Scenic Roadways zoning overlays. Although the property is addressed on Vaught Ranch Road, access to the road is not possible. The subject property will take access to FM 2222. Surrounding properties to the south, west and east are zoned I-RR and RR, as well as unzoned property in the ETJ.

Across FM 2222 to the north are properties zoned PUD, LR and GR-CO These properties include a mix of commercial and office land uses. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the rezoning request to GO-MU. As stated in the Issues section, the creek buffers and floodplain significantly constrain development on the site. Additionally, City regulations …

ZONING AND PLATTING SITE PLAN CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND 25 YEAR EXPIRATION REQUEST REVIEW SHEET ZAP DATE: 02/15/22 SPC-2020-0244C CASE NUMBER: PROJECT NAME: Dessau Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion to 0.99 MGD ADDRESS: APPLICANT: 1621 ½ Fish Ln. Austin Water (Joanette Aird) 625 E 10th St AUSTIN, Texas, 78701 K Friese & Associates (Jennifer Sullivan) 1120 S Cap of Tx Hwy, The Setting II, Suite 100 Austin, Tx 78746 (512) 338-1784 AGENT: Harris Branch CASE MANAGER: Renee Johns, (512) 974-2711 or renee.johns@austintexas.gov WATERSHED: NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN: N/A PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant proposes an expansion to an existing wastewater treatment plant located in northeast Austin. The expansion includes construction of a headworks structure, FEB tank, new treatment unit, expansion of the wet well, cloth filter, sludge holding tank, chemical containment area, odor control facility, concrete flow splitting structure, associated piping, and a paved access road. COMMISSION REQUESTS: CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST: The proposed development will expand the existing wastewater treatment plant. The site is 127,630.8 square feet with 30.8% impervious coverage proposed. Sites zoned Public (P) greater than one acre in size are a Conditional Use that require Land Use Commission approval according to Land Development Code section 25- 2-625. 25 YEAR EXPIRATION REQUEST: Austin Water is requesting a 25 year expiration on this site plan permit once approved by commission. The 25 year site plan request is based on the need to update wastewater infrastructure to keep up with Austin’s population growth. Rather than returning to commission every three years to request extensions, both DSD and Austin Water staff agreed to the long request and phased approach as outlined in 25-5-21. If the 25 year expiration request is granted, future necessary expansions to the plant will be more efficient with a quicker review and permitting process. SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: CONDTIONAL USE: Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit. The existing wastewater plant is expanding in order to meet the demands of Austin’s population growth. Sites zoned Public (P) greater than one acre in size are a Conditional Use that require Land Use Commission approval according to Land Development Code section 25- 2-625. The site plan will comply with all requirements of the Land Development Code prior to its release. 25 YEAR EXPIRATION: Staff recommends approval with conditions to allow this site plan permit to expire after 25 years instead of three. This expansion is proposed in three phases. Under 25-5-21(B), commission approval …
