To: Through: From: Date: Subject: MEMORANDUM Mayor and City Council Susana Carbajal, Assistant City Manager Jorge L. Morales, P.E., CFM, Austin Watershed Protection Director January 16, 2026 Staff Response Related to Bird Friendly Design (Resolution No. 20241121-073) The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a response to Resolution No. 20241121-073 related to bird-friendly design. Staff developed a comprehensive report on bird-friendly building design implementation informed by stakeholder engagement with local developers, environmental organizations, and members of the public using virtual sessions, public tours, and professional roundtable discussions in collaboration with the American Institute of Architects. The staff report provides an overview of the impact that building collisions and light pollution have on bird populations and how Austin can address the problem through an examination of available building solutions, cost feasibility, and regulatory frameworks from peer cities including New York, Madison, Portland, Toronto, Berkeley, and Arlington County, Va. The research also explores how Austin's built environment and land development regulations present many opportunities for bird- friendly design implementation, including already existing regulatory mechanisms and programs like the Austin Energy Green Building program and Planned Unit Development (PUD) Zoning. These findings, while clearly illustrating the broad concern about bird collisions and light pollution, lack the context of robust local data, an issue that was raised several times during the boards and commissions stakeholder engagement process. Staff also acknowledge the significant community concern for affordability. Given these findings, staff suggest the following steps be taken in advance of providing final recommendations on specific code amendments and guidelines: 1. Bird collision data collection over the 2026 spring and fall migration seasons Build off national research data and findings to further explore the impact that Austin’s built environment has on the rate of bird collisions. Staff will engage with local organizations including Travis Audubon and area universities/colleges to encourage and advise on local bird collision data collection during two migration seasons (spring and fall). The data will provide information to tailor any future regulation recommendations to Austin’s unique landscape.

Please see Updated Summary Letter – Exhibit D. On January 2, 2025, staff published the Comprehensive Analysis of Density Bonus Programs report.

On September 1, 2025, a slate of new state laws went into effect that were passed during the 89th Legislative Session, including Senate Bill 840 (SB 840). SB 840 aims to increase housing stock by allowing more market-rate housing to be built on most property zoned commercial, by right. This new legislation reduces incentives to participate in voluntary density bonus programs for many properties, unless an applicant seeks additional modifications of development standards such as additional height. This may result in fewer income-restricted affordable housing units being included in new developments. However, the City remains committed to growing affordable housing availability using a variety of tools, including …

West 35th Street is a Level 3 roadway per the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP), an Imagine Austin Corridor and Core Transit Corridor. The site is currently developed with two structures, is zoned Limited Office-Neighborhood Plan (LO-NP) and is designated neighborhood commercial on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The property is located within the Central West Austin Combined Neighborhood Planning Area, specifically the Windsor Road Neighborhood Plan area. The surrounding land uses are mixed use which 10 C14-2026-0056 - W. 35th; District 101 of 11 C14-2026-0056 2 include single family residential, multifamily residential, retail and various commercial uses (SF-3-NP; MF-3; LR; LO-NP; LR-NP; LO-MU-CO-DB90-NP; CS-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant is requesting LR-NP, neighborhood commercial-neighborhood plan combined district zoning to allow for the reuse of the existing structures for a small local jewelry store. The requested zoning is consistent with the Future Land Use Map designation (FLUM) of Neighborhood Commercial, and a neighborhood plan amendment is not required. The staff is recommending LR-CO-NP as it aligns with the Future Land Use Map designation of Neighborhood Commercial and provides opportunities for neighborhood serving commercial uses along a Level 3 roadway and Imagine Austin Corridor. The request would allow for the reuse of the existing structures for neighborhood office and commercial uses and is consistent with the surrounding development and rezoning patterns along West 35th Street. The Conditional Overlay would prohibit Service Station, further limiting a use that may be less compatible with the surrounding area. The applicant is in agreement with the staff recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district …

Proposed Amendments to the BDA with the University of Texas Page 1 of 5 Non-Regulatory Elements - Convey Muny to the City; - Replace existing affordable student housing on University property (not necessarily in the BDA area); - Vacate rights-of-way listed in Exhibit B if (a) reasonably feasible and public safety can be maintained; and (b) UT covers expenses to relocate utilities. Compensation for these ROWs is captured within this transaction. - Amend the University’s lease at Mueller to adjust timelines and add (1) residential uses; (2) childcare; (3) other uses that support University’s students, staff, or faculty; and (4) some non-University uses if that can be achieved without giving a gift of public funds as part of the larger transaction; and For non-University projects in BDA: (a) Establish a tax increment reinvestment zone (TIRZ) that complies with the City’s TIRZ policy on affordable housing but not - requiring the affordable housing within the TIRZ area; (b) Create a local government corporation (LGC); and (c) Adopt a regulating plan that mirrors the BDA (as amended). 14 Muny Interlocal Agreement Amendments Briefing1 of 5 Proposed Amendments to the BDA with the University of Texas Page 2 of 5 Regulatory Elements As Applied to Non-UT Projects Summary of Primary Development Standards Entire area = 190.26 acres FAR for the entire area is .6:1 • But because of setbacks from the river, a tributary, and Lake Austin Blvd, the amount of land that can be developed is less than 190.26 acres. • Since the land that can be developed is less than 190.26 acres, the per site development can exceed .6:1 FAR; however, no site can exceed 5:1 FAR unless Council authorizes an increase in FAR for the site using the process to rezone property. • The University understands that the FAR for sites developed later may be less than .6:1 or may be undevelopable because of the FAR limitation as it is applied to the entire area. The University agrees that the City is not responsible for resolving any disputes that may arise due to a lack of remaining FAR. In no instance can a building be taller than 65 feet when measured from LAB. • Max height for buildings constructed contiguous to LAB and north of LAB is 65 feet except that development can utilize Section 25- 2-531 (Height Limit Exception). • Max height for buildings constructed south of LAB but …

CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: TBD 08 C14-2025-0051 - Woodward Mixed Use Flats; District 31 of 26 ISSUES: The site currently has approximately 241 multifamily units constructed in approximately 1968. The site is developed at a density of approximately 19 units per acre which is substantially less dense than other multifamily properties that are redeveloping in central Austin. Lower density development patterns support auto centricity and can be detrimental to transit ridership where such public assets exist. The applicant revised their request on July 31, 2026, from GR-DB90 to GR-DBC30. The revised request has redevelopment requirements which include Chapter 4-18 …
