Dear Austin City Council Members, As a collective group, we want to thank you for the current funding of $1.5mil that has already been approved to help musicians through this unprecedented crisis. Sadly, these funds are not enough to help our city’s music employers, venues, musicians, music workers, and music service providers survive the extended effects of COVID-19. The RISE funding (for individuals) may provide some direct assistance to members of these groups, but the CLEAR and ANCHOR funds were designed to support the local businesses and service providers that are critical bridges to having businesses and jobs for people to come back to once the crisis has passed. Below is our urgent ask for Council. The Austin Music community workers were the first to feel the crushing economic blow of SXSW’s cancellation and will also be the last to see any income as our City opens up. Tours and festivals, the largest employment revenue streams, will not resume until well into 2021 - painting an especially bleak picture economically for music workers, as well as for physical and mental health outcomes, as potential income and employment losses push a year out. Together we are requesting the following city council support: • Maintain the staff recommendation levels for CLEAR funding for local business employers - not only the amount originally recommended by Staff, but also including the proposed $35mil increase to Council on May 28th; and Inclusion of eligibility for music support service nonprofits inside of ANCHOR funding (see below). • • Support for $6mil for Creative Sector Assistance and growth of Austin Musician Disaster Relief Fund ($1.5mil) + Austin creative Space Disaster Relief Fund ($1mil). Critical CLEAR dollars for local businesses are being proposed for repurposing to programs for individuals like RISE. Without CLEAR dollars for monthly rent relief, most employers of musicians and music workers will be out of business permanently. The resulting loss of jobs and income will have a long term, detrimental cascading effect for housing, food and health insecurity for individuals. Similarly, each of our music service provider organizations has experienced reductions in normal nonprofit fundraising streams - without access to disaster relief, we expect many of our organizations to reach funding limits and shutter. Closure or interruption of service to these at-risk recipients will further damage lives and future recovery prospects. In reviewing the language for organizations eligible for ANCHOR funds, the areas health …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0046 (Jollyville Apartments) DISTRICT: 10 ADDRESS: 12182 Jollyville Road ZONING FROM: SF-2 TO: MF-3 SITE AREA: 0.7779 acres (34,919 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Jollyville Development, LLC (David M. Spatz) AGENT: Spatz Development (David Spatz) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends MF-3, Multifamily Residence-Medium Density District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 19, 2020: Approved the staff's recommendation of MF-3 zoning by consent (10-0); A. Denkler-1st, D. King-2nd. The item was recinded and postponed to June 2, 2020 for reconsideration (10-0). ORDINANCE NUMBER: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 11, 2020 1 of 25B-1 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently a vacant 0.78 acre tract of land that fronts onto Jollyville Road. To the north, across Jollyville Road, there is GR/GR-CO zoning developed with a commercial retail center (North Brooke Shopping Center). The lots to the south and east are zoned SF-3 and developed with duplex residences (Ranch Stone Residential Neighborhood). Further to the east along Jollyville Road, there is a MF-2 zoned tract that is developed with a multifamily residential use (Shadow Oaks Apartments). To the west, there PUD zoned lot that contains a financial services use (Austin Telco). The applicant is requesting MF-3 zoning to redevelop the property with a multifamily use with approximately 20-26 residential units (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The staff recommends MF-3, Multifamily Residence-Medium Density District, zoning for this property. The tract of land meets the intent of the MF-3 district as it is located on an arterial roadway in an area with available commercial services. The property fronts onto Jollyville Road, a designated Activity Corridor, and is located within the 183 and McNeil Neighborhood Center. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Multifamily Residence (Medium Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of up to 36 units per acre, depending on unit size. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, generally in more centrally located areas, and in other selected areas where medium density multiple use is desirable.

PROPERTY OWNER: Ramin Zavareh CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendation is to deny the applicant’s request for GR, Community Commercial District, zoning for this property. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: May 19, 2020: Postponed to June 2, 2020 at the applicant's request by consent (10-0); A. Denkler-1st, D. King-2nd. June 2, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: June 11, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 133B-2 ISSUES: On March 10, 2020, an Environmental Code Violation was filed for this address due to a complaint of clearing without a permit on the property. The ECV Enterprise Violation is an active red tag and the outstanding issues/fees have not been resolved (please see Exhibit C). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a 1.33 acre vacant tract of land that is located on Buckner Road, a local roadway. The property to the north, across Buckner Road is undeveloped and zoned DR, Development Reserve. The tract to the south is zoned DR and contains a manufactured home and undeveloped land. The properties to the west, are also zoned DR and are developed with single family residences. The tract of land directly to the east is zoned SF-3 contains a single-family residence with outdoor storage. Further to the east, along Buckner Road, there is a lot zoned LO-CO (through case C14-2008-0199) that is developed with an office use (Time Warner Cable/Spectrum). In this request, the applicant is asking to rezone the site under consideration to the GR district to develop an automotive sales use at this location. The staff recommends denial of the applicant’s request for GR, Community Commercial District, zoning. The property does not meet the intent of the GR district as it is not located on a major roadway. While the staff has supported some commercial uses/zoning on Buckner Road, these tracts of land were located near the intersection of Buckner Road and FM 620. This proposed GR commercial zoning request is located on a designated single-family tract near the end Bucker Road, a narrow 20-foot local roadway. The property in question abuts single-family residences to the east and west. Additionally, the subject tract is located in an environmentally sensitive area adjacent to a creek where automotive uses would not be appropriate. …

I have officed at this location for the better of 30 years and am very familiar with all the adjacent businesses on Buckner Road and at 10208 RR620 complex, (i.e. MotorMania, Don’s Classic Cars, Wolf Auto, Pro Automotive, MC Tires, DJ Garage, Time Warner, Kindred Services, Magic Touch Auto, Austin Auto Emporium, Austin Motor Sports, Cascade Custom Pools, Beels Signs and Designs, Venture Underground, Sport Court, etc) and a new Volvo dealer going in soon. These are very much daily working businesses, not storage, not warehouses. Buckner Road is currently comprised of businesses including the Cabinet Shop, right next to the property in question, along with an A/C Company, Kindred Services, on the other side of the property. I am in favor of rezoning to commercial vs residential due to the fact there are already a majority of businesses. Thank you, John Cheline Innovative Construction Services 10208 RR 620 North Austin, TX 78726 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

The information that you have provided speaks to businesses that front onto and take access to North FM 620 Road, not onto Buckner Road. Some of these businesses, including the properties owned by JASS and JASS2, are located outside of the City of Austin in Travis County. Therefore, they are not subject to zoning regulations.
