M E M O R A N D U M Urban Renewal Board Members December 6, 2022 Courtney Banker, Project Coordinator, Housing and Planning Department TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Applying Affordability Unlocked within the Urban Renewal Plan Area This memorandum provides context for process regarding applying Affordability Unlocked within the Urban Renewal Plan area. Background At the November 14, 2022 Urban Renewal Board (URB) meeting, the Austin Economic Development Commission (AEDC) and consulting team presented updated scenarios for redevelopment options regarding blocks 16 and 18. One development scenario contemplates utilizing the Affordability Unlocked Density Bonus (AU) program on these blocks in order to build more affordable housing by allowing (1) increased height and/or (2) decreased parking requirements. Applying Affordability Unlocked within the URP Blocks 16 and 18 are within the Urban Renewal Plan (URP) area and are subject to the URP (originally adopted December 17, 1999 and most recently amended September 15, 2022). URB members asked staff the following questions related to allowing AU within the URP. The questions and answers are below. Question No. 1: Would the URP need to be amended to allow for AU? Answer: Yes - if the URB wants properties to be eligible for AU, then the URP must be amended. Question No. 2: Would the URP need to be expired to allow for AU? Answer: If the URP expires, then the properties will be eligible for AU without any additional action from the URB, Planning Commission, or City Council. Question No. 3: If the URB recommends to council that AU be applied to the URP, would it need to be approved by Planning Commission and then City Council? Answer: Yes. Additional Questions Related to AU, the URP, and NCCDs When the URP, AU, and Neighborhood Conservation Combining Districts (NCCDs) are in question, the controlling requirements are stated below. Page 1 of 2 • When there is conflict between the URP and the applicable land use regulations or the development bonuses offered by AU, the URP controls. If the URP expires and there is a conflict between the NCCD and the development bonuses offered by AU, the development bonuses supersede the NCCD. If the zoning on the subject property allows 40 feet height but the URP only allows 25 feet, the developer may not exceed 25 feet. If the URP limits height to 25 feet but AU allows 31.25 feet, the developer may not exceed …

From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Megan Santee Escobar, Manuel - BC; Pierce, Darrell - BC Banker, Courtney; DeMayo, Mandy; Aleman, Ruben; May, James Proposed language changes for URB meeting invite for videoconference Tuesday, November 29, 2022 6:07:46 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Chairman Escobar and Vice-Chairman Pierce, I have been working with staff on some modifications to the Board’s videoconference meeting wording in order to be more in line with the TOMA provisions which the URB follows. I would like to get your feedback on whether to go ahead and incorporate the changes for the next meeting and/or have it as a discussion item and, if approved, implement any approved language in January 2023. In the past there have been times when either audio or video communication has been lost or disconnected which has affected the ability to see and hear commissioners in attendance remotely. In an attempt to have clear guidance for Staff and commissioners, to know who was considered present and participated in a vote, I am proposing some wording changes. A commissioner’s loss of video or audio communication could be considered an absence and impact the record of their participation in a meeting. The statute provides that a member of a governing body who participates in a meeting remotely shall be counted as present at the meeting for all purposes if the video and audio feed of the member’s participation is broadcast live at the meeting and complies with this section. TGC Sec. 551.127 (a-1). A member who participates in a meeting as provided by (a-1) shall be counted as present at the meeting for all purposes. TGC Sec. 551.127 (a-2). A member shall be considered absent from any portion of the meeting during which audio or video communication with the member is lost or disconnected. TGC Sec. 551.127 (a-3). The meeting location (of the quorum), and each remote location from which a member participates, shall have two-way audio and video communication with each other location during the entire meeting. The face of each participant in the videoconference call, while that participant is speaking, shall be clearly visible and the voice audible, to each other participant and, during the open portion of the meeting, to the members of the public in attendance. TGC Sec. 551.127 (h). The audio and video signals perceptible by members of the public at each location of the meeting must …

DISTRICT AREA: 9 DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The Applicant has submitted a project assessment for a proposed 0.8143 acre mixed use development to be known as the 311 – 315 South Congress Planned Unit Development (PUD). The proposed development area presently contains an automotive repair services use with 8 servicing positions and a 5,098 square foot, 2-story office building, and has four driveways to South Congress Avenue. The property is within the South River City Citizens Neighborhood Plan Area and is designated as Mixed Use on the Future Land Use Map. The property is also within the South Central Waterfront subdistrict of the Waterfront Overlay and within the South Central Waterfront Vision Framework Plan district boundaries. The property is currently zoned commercial-liquor sales – vertical mixed use building – neighborhood plan (CS-1-V-NP) district. The CS-1 base zoning district has a height limit of 60 feet and exercising the -V option could result in a maximum height of 90 feet. The Applicant’s proposed rezoning request to PUD-NP consists of a project that would include up to 450 high- rise multifamily residential units, 30,000 square feet of general office space, and 7,500 square feet of ground floor, pedestrian-oriented, retail uses.

Information Sheet CDC Term End Dates per the Bylaws Recently an automated email notice was sent by the Granicus system to all Boards and Commissions members that have a term ending date of February 28, 2023 or sooner. If a member is interested in being reappointed, they should reapply – meaning update their application. While this is generally true, it may not be entirely accurate for all members. Members who have served 8 consecutive years on the same board/commission will not be eligible for reappointment to that same board/commission. They may certainly apply to serve on another board/commission if they wish. Unfortunately, this 8 year limit is not something that Granicus will report, so we must do that manually. Guidelines for terms from the CDC Bylaws: • Appointed members: two consecutive four-year terms • Elected members: Initial two-year term, followed by two consecutive four-year terms If you are eligible for reappointment and interested in serving another term starting next year: • Let your appointing council member (or incoming council member) know • A roster of current council members is attached for your convenience; however, staff will assist in placing a call if needed • Update your application using the same system you used before If you feel your termination date is incorrect, please let staff know and we will contact the Clerk’s office. Please Note: For members who were elected to take over for a resigning commissioner within the last two years, we are awaiting guidance from the clerk’s office on how to calculate your terms. Please stand by and be prepared for the possibility that you may need to go through the election process again in the first quarter of 2023. No action is needed at this time. More specific guidance from the Clerk’s office: Terms for the CDC started in 2019. It breaks down a little more specifically based on who made their appointment. In an ideal situation, the following applies: 1. the seven members appointed by Council had a maximum of two, four-year terms (for a total of eight years ending on 2027) in accordance with Section 2-1-22 (B) and (C), meaning they get a max of eight consecutive years and must wait another two years before they can serve on the CDC again. So, if a member serves through 2027, they cannot serve again until 2029. 2. for the eight democratically-elected members, they had an initial …

13 – 1 HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 14, 2022 HR-2022-165753 TRAVIS HEIGHTS-FAIRVIEW PARK 1804 BRACKENRIDGE STREET PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1920 house and construct a new residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a two-story flat-roofed house clad in stucco, brick, and board and batten siding. The proposed house has a partial width inset porch and irregular fenestration pattern. Construct a pool. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One and one half-story Craftsman bungalow. The house located at 1804 Brackenridge Street was constructed around 1920. Its first owners were John and Elmeda Heath. John Heath worked as a traveling salesman. By 1925, the house had become a rental property; early occupants included another salesman, a radio technician, and a printing company employee. After a brief vacancy, the Dilworth and family moved into the house during the 1940s as renters. They worked at Galloway’s Sandwich Shop and shared the rental with Mary Sanchez, another Galloway’s employee. By the 1950s, the Dilworths had purchased the home. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed building appears to be appropriately sited and set back. 2. Orientation The proposed building’s orientation is consistent with the design standards. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed building’s scale and height appears to be appropriate when compared to the surrounding one- and two-story houses. 4. Proportions The proposed building’s proportions somewhat reflect those of the surrounding district. Its design and style are less compatible. 6. Roofs The proposed flat roof does not reflect the character of the district. 7. Exterior walls The proposed cladding somewhat compatible with the district, though solid stucco rather than panels and horizontal siding rather than vertical would be more appropriate. 8. Windows and doors Proposed fenestration is not compatible with the district. Summary The project meets some applicable standards. 13 – 2 PROPERTY EVALUATION The property contributes to the Travis Heights-Fairview Park National Register district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain a high degree of integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352).

PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS Construct a two-story stucco and stone house with a metal roof. 3007 Oakmont is a one-story Ranch house with enclosed carport.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION PERMITS IN NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DISTRICTS DECEMBER 14, 2022 HR-2022-168526 OLD WEST AUSTIN 2816 GLENVIEW AVENUE 15 – 1 PROPOSAL Demolish a ca. 1937 house and construct a new residence. PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS The proposed new building is a one-story house with Tudor Revival influences, including arched entryway, exposed rafter tails, and catslide roof. It is clad in brick at the façade and horizontal siding at the sides and rear, as is the existing house. Fenestration includes a paneled front door, 4:1 mulled and single sash and 4-light casement windows of aluminum-clad wood, and a paneled garage door at the rear elevation. ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH 2816 Glenview Avenue is a one-story cross-gabled house with masonry and horizontal wood cladding. It has shallow eaves, an asymmetrical plan, and 6:6 screened windows with decorative shutters. The house at 2816 Glenview Avenue appears to have been built by noted Austin firm Page and Southerland around 1937, as building and tap permits list both architects as the property owners. It was first a rental property for the Avery family until it was sold to Greenwood and Nina Wooten in the early ‘40s. Greenwood Wooten was a drugstore owner and pharmacist; he and Nina Belle Wooten’s later dwelling at 1405 Wooldridge Drive has been listed as a City of Austin Landmark.1 The Wootens alternately lived in and rented the house until around 1955, when it was purchased by James and Maxine Burch. DESIGN STANDARDS The City of Austin’s Historic Design Standards (March 2021) are based on the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and are used to evaluate projects in National Register districts. The following standards apply to the proposed project: Residential new construction 1. Location The proposed new building appears appropriately sited on the lot. 2. Orientation The proposed new building is oriented in the same way as the existing historic-age building. 3. Scale, massing, and height The proposed new building’s scale, massing, and height appear appropriate for the district. 4. Proportions The proposed new building’s proportions are compatible with the surrounding district. 5. Design and style The proposed building’s Tudor Revival-influenced design does not reflect the dominant Colonial Revival influences in Bryker Woods; however, it is an appropriate stylistic reference for the Old West Austin National Register District as a whole and does reflect the era in which its neighbors were constructed. It is differentiated by its modern fenestration patterns and …
