APPROVAL OF MINUTES- Minutes from the November 17, 2020 meeting will be approved at the February 2021 meeting 2. PRESESNTATION a. Parent Voice and Parent Leadership Initiative- Paola Silvestre Porras, Director Family Pathways, United Way for Greater Austin The vision of Family Pathways is more parents attain economic stability and more organizations are family focused. Ms. Silvestre Porras reviewed the 2-gen strategic plan for our community and the theory of change that will lead to greater economic mobility for families. She then talked about the parenting groups they started in October 2019- the Family Leadership Council (FLC) and Link-Up Austin. Key goals of FLC include having the expertise of parents with young children inform community-wide strategic plans and helping parent leaders influence systems change. Link-up Austin is made up of young parents and key goals include connecting them with leaders and experts and supporting them as they grow leadership and problem-solving skills. Ms. Silvestre Porras noted that the parents are considered consultants and are compensated after each session. She explained some unique aspects of the groups: parents are provided training (examples- public speaking, leadership skills, racial equity, advocacy, equity and inclusion); the content is tailored to needs of the group and does not follow a curriculum; they make sure parents have a seat at the table where decisions are being made about them- not just a voice; and they connect parents to opportunities to share their stories with change agents. Participants have joined organizational boards, spoken to large groups, and helped make decisions about funding allocations. Ms. Silvestre Porras also outlined 8 principles for engaging and centering parent voices. ECC members asked what issues were most important to the parents in the groups. Ms. Silvestre Porras said many are focused on digital equity issues especially since pandemic; access to child care and navigating a challenging child care system; and pathways to career and education so they can provide for their families. ECC members asked …

Connection Test ATX City of Austin, Telecom & Regulatory Affairs 1 Background and Purpose Connection Test ATX is a speed test that Austin residents can utilize via SpeedUpAmerica’s platform. This tool surveys respondents via wireless and wireline connections to test their speed, both upload and download, and advertised speed they are paying for internet service. This data can be mapped to a census block using an HTML code, by entering an address or using a browser location - using gateway code. This tool works in tandem with other community engagement initiatives to generate input to support Austin’s Legislative Agenda for the upcoming State Legislative Session this spring. It also helps City to advance an understanding of Austin community members' needs, and advances an opportunity for community engagement specific to digital access needs. Currently, we are in the process of galvanizing community and technical support, with the next step of working with community hackers to develop a technical framework for coding the tool. 2 Presentation from Matt and Alexandra from SpeedUpAmerica 3 1. 2. 3.

SUBDIVISION REVIEW SHEET CASE NO.: C8-2019-0066.0A PC DATE: January 12, 2021 SUBDIVISION NAME: Fionn Resubdivision AREA: 0.99 acre LOTS: 4 APPLICANT: 3205 Clawson LLC (Lluis Bacardi) AGENT: Ed Moore ADDRESS OF SUBDIVISION: 3205 Clawson Rd GRIDS: G19 COUNTY: Travis WATERSHED: West Bouldin Creek JURISDICTION: Full Purpose EXISTING ZONING: SF-3-NP LAND USE: residential NEIGHORHOOD PLAN: South Lamar VARIANCES: flag lot variance DISTRICT: 3 SIDEWALKS: Sidewalks will built along the Clawson Road frontage. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The request is for the approval of the Resubdivision of a portion of Block 25 Theodore Low Heights, with a flag lot variance. The applicant proposes to resubdivide an existing lot into four lots for residential use. The plat is comprised of one regular lot and three flag lots on 0.99 acre (42,467 sf.) This application was submitted on May 1, 2019 and has not expired because subdivision deadlines have been suspended until March 15, 2021 (Order No. 20200815-019). Because this plat was submitted under the regulations in effect prior to HB3167, it requires a public hearing and a commission variance for the flag lots. The flag lot variance complies with the criteria of approval in LDC 25-4-175(A) because all reviewers have approved the plat and the driveway/utility plan. With the flag lot variance, the lots comply with zoning requirements for use, lot width and lot size. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the plat and the flag lot variance.

PO Box 2539 San Antonio, Texas, 78299 and H-E-B 646 South Flores Street San Antonio, Texas 78204 ATTN: Amadeus Fernandes CASE NUMBER: PROJECT NAME: ADDRESS: APPLICANT: AGENT: Kimley Horn (Hudson Harrison) (737) 202-3202 2699 Via Fortuna, Suite 300, Austin, TX 78746 Phone: (512)974-3338 Randall Rouda Randall.Rouda@austintexas.gov CASE MANAGER: PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit for Large Retail Use (food sales) in CS-CO-NP zoning in order to expand an existing grocery store to enhance services. A comparable amount of existing retail commercial building will be demolished to accommodate the grocery store expansion. The proposed development would also remove an existing pedestrian connection between the northerly and southerly parking lots. The applicant has agreed to accept a Condition of Approval requiring replacement of a functionally equivalent pedestrian connection prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the proposed expansion. A Large Retail Use means a use listed in Land Development Code section 25-2-815-A, including food sales, with 100,000 square feet or more of gross floor area. Large Retail Use is a conditional use. The existing food sales building is approximately 90,000 sq. ft. The proposed building would be 129,879 square feet. The existing grocery store is an anchor use in the Hancock Shopping Center. The shopping center no longer has a valid Site Development Permit. To remedy this concern, the applicant is also requesting approval of a Site Plan Permit to re-certify the entire shopping center. Any future changes to the shopping center would be processed as revisions to the currently proposed Site Development Permit. SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit for Large Retail Use (food sales) and Site Development Permit for the Hancock Shopping Center with the following conditions: 1) A Certificate of Occupancy will not be issued for the Grocery Store expansion until an open air pedestrian walkway from the north wall of the building to the south side of the building has been constructed. 2) That all remaining informal administrative comments are cleared prior to site plan approval. 1 of 9B-6 PROJECT INFORMATION SITE AREA EXISTING ZONING WATERSHED WATERSHED ORDINANCE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS Not required CAPITOL VIEW CORRIDOR PROPOSED ACCESS 34.25 Acres CS-CO-NP(Majority of Shopping Center Including Grocery …

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20210112-3D Date: January 12, 2021 Recommendation: Subject: The Importance of Consistent Community Development Commission (CDC) Evening Meeting Time Slots The CDC recognizes and deeply appreciates the hard work of city leaders, policymakers, and especially City Clerk staff for their arduous work in ensuring that the machinery of democracy, namely the convening of the City’s Boards and Commissions, continue to operate despite the manifold disruptive obstacles that the pandemic has introduced. It is also clear that the rapid adaptation of our meeting medium from physical to virtual has resulted in varying meeting times, shorter meetings, limitations in citizen communication, and an understandable reduction in all-around flexibility and predictability as related to meeting schedules. One of the key challenges is that meeting times are no longer fixed every month but often vary subject to the priorities at hand. In our commission’s example, this means that a meeting that typically happens during an evening time slot might suddenly be changed to a daytime slot, nearly exclusively prohibiting attendance from commissioners who don’t have the privileged flexibility to parse out large sections of the business/work day to fulfill their commission obligations. On this note, the CDC would like to point out the following: • Austin is infamously known (anecdotally and empirically) for being a city of exaggerated social, economic, and health disparities, many having resulted from explicitly racist municipal policy. • We are at a point where nearly 1 in 2 households are considered below Median Family Income (MFI) and at least 1 in 3 households are considered well below MFI. This is not an “us and them” situation: economic disparity has many faces, it can affect any of us, and it is doing so. • These disparities include income, despite working the same jobs, flexibility in schedules (or lack thereof), access to resources like childcare, transportation, social capital and the networking it produces, access to job training or related supportive services, and access to technology. • These disparities have only been magnified by the COVID pandemic which has demonstrated that race, ethnicity, zip code, primary language, and income, often as a result of many corresponding variables are the strongest correlating determinants in social, economic, and health outcomes of Austin residents. • Board members are liaisons who represent and advocate for low-income communities, and it must not be lost that they are members of those same communities: many members of …
