Description of Recommendation to Council The Place-Based Enhancement Program leverages tax reimbursements to incentivize the development and preservation of music venues, creative spaces, and other local businesses which significantly the impact the culture and quality of life in Austin. • Affordable Space: Tax reimbursements will be offered to developers of mixed-use and commercial building projects to include affordable commercial leases for arts and music venues and establishments, small local businesses, and community development projects • Community Impact: Tax reimbursements will support the development of stand-alone high-impact community projects including arts and music complexes, grocery stores in food deserts, childcare facilities, and industry hubs and incubators • Cultural Preservation: Tax reimbursements and potentially other programs will support retention and improvement of existing music venues, creative spaces, and legacy businesses, nonprofits, and co-ops Rationale: • State code (Chapter 380) states that a municipality may establish programs for provision services and grants of public money to promote local economic development and to stimulate business and commercial activity. • An urgent need for affordable small business and creative space continues in Austin, as small local businesses, particularly music and creative enterprises, compete with luxury real estate and high-end retail/restaurant enterprises for limited commercial space • Music and cultural arts in Austin are a core factor in the city’s quality of life, and a significant draw for tourism and large-scale employers. Therefore, it’s critical that the City work to preserve the Austins cultural lifeblood through investment in the local music and arts economies.

[BOARD/COMMISSION NAME] RECOMMENDATION YYYYMMDD-XXX [XXX is the agenda item number] Date: 6/27/2024 Subject: Creative Combining District and Development Bonus Program for live music venues; Subdistrict and cultural district overlay for Red River Cultural District Seconded By: Motioned By: Nagavalli Medicharla Recommendation Music Commission recommends creating a Creative Combining District and Development Bonus Program to enhance the development and preservation of live music venues and creative sector businesses, and to initiate a specific Red River Cultural District subdistrict and cultural district overlay Description of Recommendation to Council Rationale: Music in Austin is fundamental to the city's identity, enhancing its quality of life and serving as a significant draw for tourism and employers. The Red River Cultural District (RRCD) serves as a center for live music, and the city must ensure that music continues to be an integral part of RRCD as the district evolves in future. With thousands of hotel rooms in the vicinity, proximity to these live music venues enhances the attractiveness of the area for visitors, supporting local businesses and boosting the economy. RRCD is home to several live music venues which nurture local talent. Cultural and music venues provide spaces for people to gather, share experiences, and foster a sense of community. By investing in RRCD, the city can ensure the continuity of its vibrant music scene, attract talent, boost tourism, and enhance the overall quality of life for its residents.
