Equity Considerations in Contracts and Program Funding Joint Inclusion Committee August 24, 2022 Neal Falgoust, Assistant City Attorney Purpose • Discuss legal risks associated with using race, gender and protected-class criteria in determining awards of contracts and program funding. 2 Why Now? • Recent federal court decisions that put race-focused programs at risk. • Law Department deliberative process. • Briefing to City Council. 3 Acknowledgement • History of intentional racial segregation – 1928 Master Plan and “Negro District.” • Oppression of BIPOC – 1954 Federal Housing Act, “urban renewal,” and seizing of Black-owned land. • City Council has committed the City to correcting its racist practices. (Resolution 20210304-067) 4 City’s Programs • As part of Project Connect, community members developed displacement mitigation strategies and an equity tool to guide decision making. (“Nothing About Us Without Us”) • EDD also wants an equity focus for the Cultural Arts and Heritage Tourism grant programs. 5 Legal Foundation • 14th Amendment – Equal Protection Clause • No government may “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” 6 “Tiered Scrutiny” • Strict Scrutiny (Race, National Origin, Religion, Alienage) – Government must demonstrate the policy is narrowly tailored to meet a compelling purpose. • Intermediate Scrutiny (Gender, Sex, Sexual Orientation?) – Government must demonstrate the policy is substantially related to an important purpose. • Rational Basis (Age, Disability, Wealth, Felony Status) – The policy must have a rational connection to a legitimate interest. 7 Strict Scrutiny Any government program that takes race into consideration faces strict scrutiny by the courts. Strict scrutiny is the most rigorous judicial review. Courts start with presumption that policy is invalid and government must prove its interests. 8 Compelling Government Interest The government must demonstrate: • actual discrimination in the relevant market, and • that the government either actively or passively perpetuated the discrimination. 9 Narrowly Tailored The government must demonstrate: • it considered other race-neutral policies; • race-neutral policies failed to achieve the compelling interest. 10 City of Richmond v. J.A. Croson Co. • “Generalized assertions” of past racial discrimination would not justify “rigid” quotas; • 30 percent quota could not be connected to “any injury suffered by anyone;” • Race-neutral measures must be seriously considered. 11 Evidence Acceptable to a Court Disparity studies are conducted to determine if there is discrimination in the studied market and if the government is an active …

The previous Notice of Public Hearing for the July 26, 2022 Planning Commission meeting included an incorrect zoning case map. At this time, the applicant has not proposed a restrictive covenant amendment/termination with this rezoning request. Therefore, the TIA recommendations adopted through the public restrictive covenant in zoning cases C14-2018-0108 and C14-2018-0109 will remain for this property. 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is an almost one acre (0.941 acre) undeveloped lot located at the southeast corner of East Ben White Boulevard and Caseybridge Court. This tract of land was zoned CS-MU-CO-NP during the Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan Rezonings in October 2002 through case C14-02-0128.03 (please see Ordinance No. 021010-12c – Exhibit D). The property was rezoned in 2018 through case C14-2018-0109 to remove a 2,000 vehicle trip per day limitation. The current zoning ordinance for this property prohibits adult oriented businesses, convenience storage and vehicle storage uses on the site (please see Ordinance No.20190509-036 – Exhibit E). There is a restrictive covenant associated with cases C14-2018-0108 and C14-2018-0109 that encompasses TIA recommendations for these properties (please see Public Restrictive Covenant – Exhibit F). Surrounding uses include a single-family residence and undeveloped property to the east (zoned LI-NP), a hotel and an undeveloped lot and Carson Creek to the south (zoned CS-MU- CO-NP), and an undeveloped lot and manufactured home sales business to the west (zoned CS-MU-CO-NP; LI-CO-NP). In this rezoning request, the applicant is asking to add …

CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the proposed termination of the public restrictive covenant. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 23, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 1 of 1111 ISSUES: N/A DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The applicant is requesting to terminate/delete a public restrictive covenant that was recorded in 1982 on Lot 2 of the Westover Hills Plaza subdivision and associated with zoning site plan case C14r-82-016 (Please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). This covenant places restrictions on the number of stories, landscaping, reflectivity, and signage regulations that were subject to the zoning site plan on the Property (Please see Public Restrictive Covenant for C14r-82-016 - Exhibit D). These items will now be regulated under the designated base zoning districts. The staff recommends the applicant’s request to delete the conditions of this public restrictive covenant. Since this restrictive covenant was executed and recorded, the property in question has been re-subdivided numerous times. The area under consideration is now known as Lot 3 of The Atrium, Lot 2A of the Amended Plat of Lots 1 and 2 The Atrium and a portion of Lot 1 of 8611 Centre subdivisions. The staff supports the deletion of this public restrictive covenant because items listed in this public restrictive covenant will now be regulated under the zoning district site development standards and other requirements stipulated by the Land Development Code. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation.
