COTA TIMELINE 2006-2010 Land Acquisition Dec 2010 Groundbreaking for Racetrack Oct 2012 Construction of Amphitheater April 2013 First Concert at Amphitheater Dec 2013 Annexed by City of Austin Sept 2018 Planned Unit Development (PUD) Application Submittal PUD Submittal The COTA track and ancillary facilities were permitted and constructed while the project was in the City of Austin’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. The City of Austin annexed the project area in 2013 and gave the interim zoning designation of Interim Rural Residential (I-RR). The original vision was for the COTA track and amphitheater to spur economic development in and around the project area. In order to provide more development within the project area, a formal zoning designation is needed. COTA is looking to partner with developers to achieve a mix of uses that complement and enhance the project as a destination and entertainment district. The first phase of development contemplated is a hotel and waterpark that is project to be 155 feet in height. The only zoning tool in today’s current Land Development Code that allows for height above 60 feet is PUD zoning, thus PUD zoning was needed. PUD zoning allows for modifications to the Code, but also requires superiority measures. With regard to Parks and Recreation, the estimated development of 508 hotel units and 30 condominium units results in a requirement of 7.817 acres of land dedication and a $223,975 development fee. The COTA PUD proposal for parkland superiority is to provide for 11.38 acres of land (9.71 acres credited) for two regulation soccer fields and construction of those fields with irrigation. The cost estimate for the construction is $1.9 M, which is far in excess of the required development fee.

To: Zero Waste Advisory Commission From: Ken Snipes, Director Austin Resource Recovery Date: May 15, 2020 Dumpsters in the Central Business District Subject: Director’s Monthly Report to the Zero Waste Advisory Commission Austin Resource Recovery has received requests from businesses located in the Central Business District (CBD) requesting some relief of their monthly garbage fees related to the statewide business closures. In late March, an audit of trash volume was performed in the CBD and found that a majority of the containers within the CBD were empty. By removing containers in the CBD, ARR would be able to reduce CBD customer volume charge which will help customers in that area save money during this crisis; ARR would pay less to the vendor, with a near break-even fiscal impact. ARR Fleet Purchases FY 20 Under the current Fleet Master Agreement, ARR is scheduled to purchase the following types of equipment for FY 20. ARR is replacing 47 units and adding 13 additional pieces of equipment, including multi-packs for the final phase of the Curbside Compost program expansion.

Ho; Rachel Stone; Fayez Kazi GNDC Update Ltr 5.3.20 File #10076-1901 Sunday, May 3, 2020 12:05:20 PM GNDC_File #10076-1901_809 E 9 ROW.pdf *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Smith, I have attached a letter that I'm hoping provides the pertinent background and an update related to our application for the alley vacation adjacent to our property at 809 East 9th Street. As you probably are aware, the application was approved on consent by both the Urban Transportation Commission and Planning Commission late last year. In February of this year, also on consent, the City Council approved selling the remainder of the alley to GNDC. You already should have copies of the letter and email that I sent last month to all of the condominium owners at the Tyndall who submitted objection letters to the alley vacation. In my letter and email, I offered to meet virtually if the Tyndall owners wished to and I provided my phone number, email address and mailing address. I have had no responses of any kind from anyone. Despite their statements regarding safety, I'm quite certain the Tyndall owners are actually concerned about the loss of views of our downtown. While such a concern is reasonable, had anyone investing in a west-facing condominium at the Tyndall asked about the development potential of the Lopez Property-- 809 East 9th Street-- the developers of the Tyndall undoubtedly knew that the entitlements are the same as those for the Tyndall. While it is an investor's responsibility to understand the pros and cons of their investment, it is my responsibility to develop property owned by our corporation to its highest and best use in order to most effectively fulfill our mission. Had the developers of the Tyndall acquired the Lopez Property, their project certainly would have been built as far to the west and as tall as we plan to build on that same property. And, just as certainly, they would have wished to build using the 572 feet of the remainder of alleyway, just as we would like to do. Their objections suggest our property is not right for seniors, yet I'm also quite sure that the real estate agents for the Tyndall are not trying to dissuade any potential buyers who are 62 years of age or older from …

Box 1088 Austin, Texas 78767-1088 Attn: Mashell Smith RE: File # 10076-1901 To Whom It May Concern: As a homeowner of a residence at The Tyndall at Robertson Hill Residential Condominium Community, located at 800 Embassy Drive, I am in receipt of the March 13, 2020 public notice of alley vacation for the adjacent property at 809 E. 9th Street. I strongly object to the vacation of the 572 square foot portion of the remaining 20 ft wide tract of land between E. 8th and E. 9th Street requested by the Guadalupe Neighborhood Development Corporation as part of a proposed multi-family hi-rise building. Vacation of the alley creates an unsafe building condition for me and all residents at The Tyndall due to the increased risk of fire as a result of the dangerously close proximity of the proposed building. My safety and the life safety of the more than 182 owners and residents at The Tyndall cannot and should not be compromised by the City of Austin with the vacation of this alley. The backyard of a historic single-family home on a dead-end street is not the right place for a multi- story wood frame building due to the limited access for fire, EMS and life safety services. Thank you for your time in reviewing my objections.
