Strategic Annexation and Development of Dog’s Head: A Vital Resource Opportunity City Manager’s Office | May 19, 2026 Current Challenge  On the economic development stage, Austin is playing catch up.  The City’s economic development efforts need to level the playing field to support Austin’s fiscal sustainability.  A key element is having shovel-ready sites ready to match the speed of opportunity.  Unfortunately, the existence of large shovel-ready sites is a competitive disadvantage in Austin. This is due in part to:  Fractionalized ownership of urban land  Holdout risk when selling  Outdated infrastructure  This context creates an economic disadvantage when it comes to fostering economic growth and matching the speed of opportunity. 2 The Fiscal Context: The Need for Action  The City of Austin is at a critical financial crossroads.  With state-mandated property tax caps (Senate Bill 2) limiting the City’s ability to raise revenue and the exhaustion of federal relief funds, Austin’s fiscal challenges are no longer a distant threat—it’s an immediate reality.  It is imperative to expand our tax base and establish new revenue sources that can be equitably shared across the community.  To mitigate this disadvantage, strategically annexing large sites within reach of the city’s boundaries can serve as a competitive advantage in the world of economic development.  It provides Austin the ability to be prepared when opportunity arrives. 3 Capturing a "Generational Economic Opportunity"  The 2,614-acre Dog’s Head Mega-Site in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) under one ownership entity represents a generational economic opportunity.  Bounded between the Colorado river, US 183 and SH 130  The site sits within 15 minutes of downtown and 10 minutes from Austin-Berstrom International Airport (ABA), which is virtually impossible to find anywhere in the Austin MSA.  This advantage makes the site a prime candidate for a massive mixed-use hub, employment centers, secondary corporate campus and sports and entertainment to name a few. Dog’s Head Mega-Site 4 A Generational Economic Opportunity Annexing Dog’s Head is one of the most effective ways to secure a new, robust tax base and deliver long-term stability to Austin.  Securing a Shovel-Ready Future: In the global market, speed is the ultimate currency. Annexing Dog’s Head creates a primed location to capture the next wave of investment.  Risk Mitigation: A shovel-ready site removes the "unknowns" for investors. Austin becomes the default choice rather …

Additional Backup Information: The City of Austin has a long-standing commitment to energy efficiency, greenhouse gas reduction, and improving building performance through progressive adoption of local energy codes. The International Code Compliance Calculator (IC3) helps builders evaluate residential energy performance, understand design impacts, and generate required permitting documentation for submission to Development Services. As Austin adopts more advanced, performance-based codes, accessible and no cost tools like IC3 help maintain predictable permitting processes and reduce design burdens. IC3 is also a critical tool for the Austin Energy Green Building program. The platform provides insight into local building practices, supports program evaluation, and enables staff to collaborate with City departments, builders, energy raters, and trade allies to improve energy efficiency programs and other City sustainability initiatives. In 2025, the Austin City Council adopted the 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) along with Austin-specific amendments. These updates further Austin Energy’s efforts to deliver measurable energy savings, reduce peak demand, and support the transition to high-performance, low-carbon building practices. Future code adoptions are likely in 2028 and 2031. Austin Energy tracks and reports the energy and demand savings associated with local code adoption, which directly support the …

Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: August 10, 2026- To be reviewed by the Electric Utility Commission. Additional Backup Information: In 2006, Austin Energy and Whirlwind Energy LLC entered into a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement, which is set to expire in December 2027.

C15-2026-0021 / 2101 Arpdale St George Siddall additional presentation for August 10, 2026, BOA Meeting ITEM02/1-PRESENTATION The house was built in 1950 on an unusually narrow corner lot (about 57 feet wide where most lots are more than 60 feet), which restricts the buildable area. The house was set back only 12 feet from the side street rather than the current requirement of 15 feet, and there is no other location for a driveway. The layout has minimal impervious cover and maximizes space for trees and gardening. Vehicles in the short drive are damaged by sun and acidic discharge and shedding of limbs from the large protected pecan tree next to the drive. The awning provides protection from sun damage, hail damage or other related weather damage, and keeps the acidic droppings from the pecan tree off vehicles as demonstrated in the image below. The area of the driveway stained by the pecan tree is on the left. ITEM02/2-PRESENTATION 2101 Arpdale, view of driveway on Ann Arbor Most properties in the area are wider and require only a 5-foot side setback, allowing covered parking or awnings at least 12 feet deep alongside the house. Examples are shown in the photos beginning on page 4. In storms in May and June this year, broken tree limbs fell on at least ten properties within a block of 2101 Arpdale. Most of those properties have covered parking 5 feet or less from the side boundary, protecting vehicles from damage. In the case of 2101 Arpdale, strict adherence to the additional side setback denies the owner the reasonable protection of driveway parking that is otherwise code compliant and available to other properties in the area. The presentation submitted at the Board’s hearing on June 8, 2026, and the letter from the Zilker Neighborhood Association contain more information regarding possible code changes that could be relevant to this case.

DENALI POOLS Board of Adjustment Variance Request 6302 Shadow Valley Drive August 10th, 2026 Jacob Rogers, Agent for Denali Pools On behalf of Paul & Heather Fink ITEM04/1-PRESENTATION The Property Lot 28, Highland Hills Section 9, Phase 2 | Zoning: SF-3 Address 6302 Shadow Valley Drive, Austin, TX 78731 Lot Size 13,353 SF Original Pool Built 1976 — predates current Land Development Code Impervious Cover Limit 45% (6,008 SF) under SF-3 zoning Site survey — Hodgkiss Surveying, 11/24/2020 ITEM04/2-PRESENTATION The Pool Is Failing Original 1976 structure — cracked shell, can no longer hold water Structural cracking throughout the pool shell Heaving and separation at the deck joints Chronic water loss — cannot be repaired further Deteriorating stone retaining wall and surrounding hardscape A 50-year-old structure at the end of its serviceable life. ITEM04/3-PRESENTATION Deterioration in Detail Current condition of the pool and deck Algae accumulation, organic debris, and visible wear on the coping and decking are consistent with a shell that has been slowly failing for years and can no longer maintain proper water chemistry. ITEM04/4-PRESENTATION Mature Protected Trees Constrain the Lot Three large Live Oaks limit where a pool can be built Tree #1 — 42.5" Live Oak Tree #2 — 35" Live Oak Tree #6 — 32" Live Oak These are large, established trees — decades old and protected under the City's tree ordinance. Their critical root zones (shown in green) surround the existing pool on three sides, leaving no reasonable alternate location on the lot. ITEM04/5-PRESENTATION Why the Existing Footprint Is the Only Option Two site-specific factors leave no alternative to rebuilding where the pool already sits: 1. Mature protected trees Three large Live Oaks and their root zones occupy most of the remaining usable yard, ruling out relocating the pool elsewhere on the lot. 2. Steep topography The survey shows significant grade change across the lot; the existing pool sits on the one graded, buildable area. Together, these constraints mean the only realistic path forward is to demolish and rebuild in the exact same footprint. ITEM04/6-PRESENTATION What We're Proposing Demolish the failing 1976 pool and rebuild in the exact same footprint. No expansion of the pool or decking No new impervious surface — zero net change in coverage Same location as the pool that has existed since 1976 Modern, code-compliant pool with required safety barriers Pool equipment relocated into the existing garage ITEM04/7-PRESENTATION Impervious Coverage Analysis …
