Presentation on low-carbon concrete – Johanna Anderson, EPA • White –Clarification on Federal highway/transportation departments is already utilizing concrete that’s already in the top 20% of best? o Anderson – Federal funding flows to the development of the building of highways is it goes from the federal highways department directly to state department of transportations and then they use that funding to build roads. • Bell – Procurement, curious do you imagine people utilizing these labels without limiting fair and open competition and meeting any procurement regulations that are required o Anderson – Initially you might give extra points for a product that has a label. Like any new sustainable product on the marketplace, one might set up a separate agreement for the sustainable products versus the lesser.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 3 ZONING TO: MF-2-NP CASE: C14-2024-0099 – Saxon 2 ZONING FROM: SF-6-NP ADDRESS: 318 Saxon Lane and 6328 El Mirando Street SITE AREA: 2.89 acres (125,888 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Saxon Acres LLC (Matthew Shaw) AGENT: Thrower Design, LLC (Ron Thrower & Victoria Haase) CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to deny the proposed rezoning from townhouse and condominium residence – neighborhood plan (SF-6-NP) combining district to multifamily residence (low density) – neighborhood plan (MF-2-NP) combining district. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 22, 2024: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is approximately 2.89 acres, undeveloped and has one proposed access on Saxon Lane (level 1) but El Mirando Street (level 1) is adjacent to the property. The site is currently zoned townhouse and condominium residence – neighborhood plan (SF- 6-NP). The property has single family residential (SF-3-NP and LR-NP) to the north, south, east and west. There are multifamily residences, East Vue Ranch Apartments, (CS-MU-CO- NP) to the east. The properties to the north and west have various commercial uses, office uses and churches (LO-NP, LR-NP and GR-NP). To the east across Vargas Road are daycare facilities and storage facilities (GR-NP and CS-NP). The site is within 0.25 miles from a bus stop on El Mirando Street, however, trying to access would not be the most feasible option if C14-2024-0099 2 there is not an access proposed to this street.The applicant did not provide trip counts for El Mirando Street when submitting counts for the Neighborhood Traffic Analysis Memo and it will not have vehicular access proposed. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). Due to the history on this site and the lack of improved infrastructure, staff is recommending the denial for the rezoning to multifamily residence (low density) – neighborhood plan (MF- 2-NP) combining district. This property previously sought a rezoning in 2020 from SF-3-NP to SF-6-NP. In the four-year time frame since this previously granted rezoning, there have been no updates to the property or the surrounding area. The property continues to be undeveloped and the road unimproved. The Neighborhood Traffic Analysis (NTA) Memo states that traffic on a residential local or collector street less than 30 feet in width is operating at a desirable level if it does not exceed 1200 vehicles …

Below are sections of the E. MLK Combined Neighborhood Plan that supports staff’s recommendation. The plan supports mixed use at E. 51st Street/Springdale Road and E. 51st Street and Manor Road. 2 Planning Commission: October 22, 2024 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Mixed Residential - An area with a variety of different housing types, including single- family residential, townhouses, duplexes, apartments, and limited neighborhood- serving retail.
