The Planning Commission recommended this case on October 24, 2023 and the City Council approved this restrictive covenant termination case on February 1, 2024 (please see Area Case Histories below). The Long-Range Planning staff that is overseeing the ETOD process confirmed that these two properties are inside the ½ mile buffer of two ETOD station areas, Masterson Pass and Chinatown/ Kramer), and are part of the future extensions to light rail transit envisioned as part of Project Connect. However, these properties are not part of the current phase of work on the ETOD Overlay for City Council consideration on May 16, 2024. The City Council direction for this phase was to limit application to within a ½ mile of the Phase 1 Light Rail and Priority Extensions, resulting in only properties south of US 183 being recommended for application of ETOD and DB-ETOD at this time. The staff anticipates a future phase of work on the ETOD Overlay with an expanded geographic area to be ready for Council consideration and adoption in Spring 2025.

M E M O R A N D U M TO: Claire E. Hempel, Planning Commission Chair Planning Commissioners FROM: Keith W. Mars, Assistant Director, Development Services Department SUBJECT: Lapsed Land Development Standards Interlocal Agreement – Del Valle ISD DATE: April 9, 2024 Chair Hempel, On April 9, 2024, the Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing and consider adopting a lapsed Land Development Standards interlocal agreement (ILA) between the City of Austin (COA) and the Del Valle Independent School District (DVISD). The ILA addresses the development regulations applicable to DVISD educational facilities. Texas Local Government Code section 212.902 allows school districts and municipalities to enter interlocal agreements that provide for district specific development standards. The City of Austin executed the first Interlocal Agreement with DVISD in 1994. The current agreement inadvertently expired in 2021. There are no changes to the Agreement. The DVISD has plans currently in development review designed in accordance with the lapsed ILA. In accordance with City Code, the Planning Commission and Council are required to conduct a public hearing and act on readopting this lapsed ILA. Approval of the lapsed ILA is critical to DVISD overall development timeline, as delays can materially impact delivery timelines and budgets associated with the school projects currently in development review. COA and DVISD staff are in full support of the proposal and recommend approval. We ask that the Planning Commission provide Council with recommendations and act on April 9. The ILA is scheduled for Council public hearing and action on April 18. Should you have any questions, please contact Keith Mars, Assistant Director with the Development Services Department.

C20-2022-003 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET C20-2022-003 South Central Waterfront Combining District and Density Bonus Program. Amendment: Description: Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance amending City Code Title 25 to create a new zoning district and modify related site development regulations and compatibility standards; and create a new zoning district for density bonus that includes granting additional floor-to-area ratio in exchange for providing community benefits; to establish boundaries for the new zoning districts located in the vicinity commonly known as the South Central Waterfront; and initiating zoning and rezoning for all properties within the South Central Waterfront District except those with Planned Unit Development zoning, Planned Development Area zoning, and subject to Planned Development Agreement, and initiate necessary neighborhood plan amendments for the properties located in the new zoning district’s boundaries. Background: On June 16, 2016, the South Central Waterfront Vision Framework Plan (Vision Plan) was adopted as an amendment to the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. As defined in the Vision Plan, the South Central Waterfront district encompasses roughly 118 acres. The intent of the Vision Plan was to leverage forecasted development through a districtwide approach that creates a dynamic people-centered district in Central Austin by: - Establishing a lively, attractive pedestrian environment; - Expanding open space and creating great public places; - Enhancing connections to and along the waterfront; and - Providing 20% new affordable housing units, or approximately 527 affordable units in the district. A districtwide approach had been identified as an essential method in realizing the intent of the Vision Plan. Through this approach, the South Central Waterfront is hoped to become a model for how a districtwide green infrastructure system, paired with quality urban design, can provide an interconnected network of public spaces – streets, streetscapes, lakeside trails, and parks – that provides the framework for redevelopment and districtwide value capture to fund other community benefits, such as affordable housing. The urban development envisioned in the Vision Plan requires modifications to the existing zoning and development regulations. To support the development envisioned in the Vision Plan, the City Council passed Resolution Number 20220915-090 on September 15, 2022, to initiate the development of regulations for the South Central Waterfront area. In the resolution, Council asked staff to create regulations that consider today’s market realities, anticipate future demand, and realize the intent of the Vision Plan to: 1 C20-2022-003 - Create a density bonus program “akin” to …
