DRAFT Annual Internal Review This report covers the time period of 7/1/2023 to 6/30/2024 Robert Mueller Municipal Airport Plan Implementation Advisory Commission The Board/Commission mission statement (per the City Code) is: Advise the City Council on implementation of the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport Master Plan, the 1996 Robert Mueller Municipal Airport Process and Goals Task Force Report, and other redevelopment issues at Robert Mueller Municipal Airport, including proposed amendments to the Master Plan, land disposition strategy, traffic, urban design and zoning issues, demolition of existing facilities; and at the request of the City Council, make recommendations on amendments to the Master Plan and other matters related to Robert Mueller Airport redevelopment. Section 2- 1-169 of the City Code. The Robert Mueller Municipal Airport (RMMA) Plan Implementation Advisory Commission (PIAC) was created in 2000 to provide oversight at a time when the Redevelopment and Reuse Plan for Mueller had been accepted, and the City was preparing to seek a master developer. In 2002 the master developer, Catellus, was selected and approved by City Council, and in December of 2004, the Master Development Agreement (MDA) between the City of Austin and Catellus was approved and executed by City Council. Because the MDA contractually obligates the City and Catellus to develop the property per the provisions in the agreement, the practical role of the PIAC has evolved to encompass the following: • Advise Council on items that come before Council, including those needing formal approval, such as proposed zoning revisions to the Mueller PUD; • Advise Council on any items that require Council approval stipulated in the MDA, such as selling land within the Mueller boundary to another governmental entity; • Advise Council on bigger picture topics that may impact the ability to implement the plans as fully anticipated, such as, but not limited to, transit or Interstate 35 improvements; and • Serve as a venue for the master developer and City staff to report progress, hear concerns and receive feedback. This last role is paramount and provides a unique opportunity to problem- solve as Catellus, together with the community and City staff, work to implement the Mueller vision. Background In 1996, a Council-appointed 16-member task force representing a broad spectrum of Austin interests called for the creation of a compact, pedestrian-oriented, and mixed-use community. The plans to redevelop the airport were guided by a vision and goals developed with extensive community input. …
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Robert Mueller Municipal Airport Plan Implementation Advisory Commission Recommendation Number (20240611-006): Concerning the Disposition of the Mueller Browning Bow-Trussed Hangar WHEREAS the Browning Bow-Trussed Hangar (the Hangar) is scheduled for reuse by the Mueller Master Development Agreement (MDA); WHEREAS the Hangar is treated as historic (although not officially designated as such), primarily due to the exposed wood bow-trusses and the over 80-year history of the facility; WHEREAS the Mueller Redevelopment and Reuse Plan (2000) identified the Hangar for community activities and/or publicly oriented commercial uses; WHEREAS the Hangar structure has, at considerable expense, been stabilized and a new roof covering installed (in 2007-2008); WHEREAS the Hangar, since 2008, has been utilized mostly for free by the public, small groups, and Mueller Lake Park patrons (in addition to paid users, with reservations through the POA) – contributing to the great success of the park, with the Hangar a widely recognized public amenity; WHEREAS the Hangar is closely associated by the public with Mueller Lake Park, due to its proximity to the Park and over 15 years of being free and publicly accessible; and there is a community effort dedicated to preserving the Hangar as a public amenity and gathering space (and there is concern of over-commercialization of the Hangar, including concerns of it not being free and open to the public); WHEREAS the Master Development Agreement states, in Article 8.9(a), that the Long-Term Plan for the Hangar “may include the sale or lease of the Bow-Trussed Hangar.” NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the RMMA PIAC recommends the Austin City Council amend the Master Development Agreement (MDA), Article 8.9(a) Bow-Trussed Hangar as follows: • That the long-term plan will include the lease, but not the sale, of the Bow-Trussed Hangar and property. • That the existing Public Easement found on Lake Park (Exhibit T to the MDA) be extended to include the property between the Bow-Trussed Hangar and Lake Park (Mueller Boulevard), an easement extension equal to the width of the Hangar facing Lake Park; and with the Public Easement also extended to include 25% of the interior space of the current Hangar as a public recreational facility. And the opportunity for a Concession providing food and beverages at the Hangar be considered as part of the Long-Term Plan for the Browning Bow-Trussed Hangar. And that formal designation of the Hangar as a Historic Landmark be pursued with the …

Re: C14-2024-0022 2700 Del Curto Rezone steve lucas Mon 6/10/2024 8:18 PM To: Hadri, Cynthia <Cynthia.Hadri@austintexas.gov> External Email - Exercise Caution Cynthia, Ok, thought it was listed yesterday and didn't have time and the case was not there this morning. Anyway it's what I told you already: How can this zoning be approved before the tree survey is done? I live and own all the property south of this site and the layout only shows 5 trees to be saved, I know there are a lot more trees that should be on this list and the layout does not show any protection of the area, 75% I believe, of the crown of the trees or the trees under the crown. It showed an access road and buildings next to the trees. I have watched developers level property before the tree survey and when I reported this to the city arborist they could do nothing. I have spent almost 30 years restoring my property and want my work to be saved since the development is next to my trees also. The city has said that they want to maintain and increase the tree cover in the city to 50% and I have read it is now at 40%. Destroying old trees and surrounding trees hurt the environment of the city and none of us will live long enough for any new growth to return if large old trees are destroyed. Because the tree survey has not been done yet I am opposed to this zoning change. I want to oppose this and would like to be kept informed with this and be added to any lists or any documents about this case. If you can pass this along to them to make sure I am at least heard.

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Planning Commission Recommendation Number: 20240611-033 Senior Cooperative Housing WHEREAS, seniors are the fastest growing segment of the population falling into homelessness, composing nearly half of the unhoused population, with numbers estimated to triple by 2030. 1 WHEREAS, more than 1 in 5 Americans over 65 are, or are at risk of becoming, “elder orphans”, meaning they have no family available to support them as they age. WHEREAS, there are about 42.5 million Americans with disabilities, making up 13% of the civilian noninstitutionalized population, including people with hearing, vision, cognitive, walking, self-care or independent living difficulties. WHEREAS, an estimated 4.1 million Americans per year are reaching retirement age and more than half will have to rely primarily on social security as their source of income. 2 WHEREAS, in the Austin-Round Rock MSA, 38% of those 65 and older are housing cost burdened and 85% of older adults cannot afford assisted living, 3 meaning that many seniors’ only option is to age in place, often alone. WHEREAS, service providers will be increasingly challenged to meet the needs of aging, cost-burdened seniors who live individually and across large geographic areas. City of Austin service funding dollars will increasingly fall short of meeting the needs of this population. 1 Culhane et al., “The Emerging Crisis of Aged Homelessness: Could Housing Solutions Be Funded by Avoidance of Excess Shelter, Hospital, and Nursing Home Costs?” 2019 2 Shapiro and Stuttgen, “The Peak Boomers Impact Study: A Majority of Peak Boomers Are Not Financially Prepared for Retirements and Their Retirements Will Have Large Effects on the U.S. Economy” 2024 3 Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, “Housing America’s Older Adults” 2023 WHEREAS, mobility among seniors becomes increasingly challenging as many older adults lose their ability to drive but continue to need access to healthcare providers, groceries, and other services. Local senior mobility programs will struggle with capacity to meet the coming demand as Austin’s senior population grows. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: The Austin City Council should prioritize city-owned land, especially within ETODs, for the development of income-restricted shared-equity senior housing and housing for people with disabilities, including cooperative housing and community land trusts (CLTs). BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: Shared equity forms of housing like cooperatives can provide affordability, community, and easy service- provider access for Austin’s older adults and people with disabilities at a much …
