Affordability Impact Statement Land Development Code Chapter 25-2, 25-5, 25-7, 25-8 September 22, 2022 Proposed Regulation The proposed amendments will update various sections of the Land Development Code (LDC) pursuant to Resolution No. 20220609-061. Amendments include policy changes, streamlining of current processes, and edits for clarity. Housing and Planning Department (HPD) staff evaluated the proposed amendments for their potential to impact housing affordability. The majority were found to have negligible impacts; two proposals were identified as having potential significant impacts, “significant” here defined as increasing the cost of housing development that would be feasible under current code. The rest of this staff analysis focuses on those two proposed amendments. The substance of these two amendments is paraphrased below: § 25-8-213 WATER QUALITY CONTROL STANDARDS • For developments with up to 90% impervious cover*: requiring green stormwater infrastructure for water quality treatment Article 25-8, Subchapter C. Functional Green • For developments allowed to contain over 80% impervious cover: requiring Functional Green** landscape elements *Exceptions and variances apply to eligible developments. **Functional Green describes a set of landscape elements that are used to restore native vegetation, enhance streetscape aesthetics, and prioritize green over grey, usually concrete, infrastructure. Please see the draft ordinance for the proposed list of landscape elements that would contribute to a site’s Functional Green score. Overall Evaluation Summary The proposed code amendments may increase construction and maintenance costs but have environmental benefits. Due to these tradeoffs, the affordability impact is considered undetermined. HPD staff recommends modifying the code or developing programs to mitigate the costs for developments with income-restricted units. See below for more detail. Applicability The Functional Green requirement will not apply to projects with residential base zoning, because residential zones do not exceed 80% impervious cover. However, it will apply to some projects using Vertical Mixed Use, Affordability Unlocked, and the proposed Residential in Commercial incentive program. The green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) requirement will apply to most multifamily or residential subdivision projects. Benefits heat island effect. 1. The requirements would increase onsite vegetation, which would mitigate the urban 2. The requirements would increase greenspace, thus increasing the mental and physical health benefits that it provides. This addresses disparities identified in the Equity Response, Summary, and Recommendations, which is an attachment to the code amendment staff report, which states, “Communities of color and low-income communities have been shown to have disproportionately worse physical, mental, and environmental health outcomes …
RESOLUTION NO. 20220609-061 WHEREAS, protecting our environment is the foundation for sustaining our planet, community, and economy; and WHEREAS, the City ofAustin's "State of Our Environment: 2020 Annual Report," showed that creeks in the Desired Development Zone scored on average 10 points lower than those in the Drinking Water Protection Zone; and WHEREAS, the Drinking Water Protection Zone designation located on the west side of Austin has restricted development through regulations creating positive environmental outcomes, while the Desired Development Zone, located in Central and East Austin, has more permissive regulations that have resulted in some negative outcomes; and WHEREAS, properties located in the Desired Development Zone have more permissive development regulations with regard to the size of creek buffers, impervious cover limits, cut and fill, and construction on slopes; and WHEREAS, extensive empirical literature links exposure to nature with better health, and creeks provide city-wide opportunities to experience nature; and WHEREAS, current code allows for structures such as in-channel detention basins and concrete wastewater manholes to be placed in creeks, which can cause erosion and other severe, often long-lasting consequences that can be expensive to reverse; and WHEREAS, the City is faced with the existing and growing threat of industrial discharges that can negatively impact creeks and communities located primarily on the east side of the City of Austin; and Page 1 of 10 WHEREAS, there has been a steady increase in the amount of land area in Austin covered by impervious surfaces and a corresponding steady decrease in the amount of pervious land area capable of absorbing rainfall; and WHEREAS, one result of the historically high rates of development is a rise in the amount of runoff that flows off-site from developed properties and into older, undersized stormwater drain systems, creeks, rivers, and lakes, contributing to increases in flooding severity, damage to private property, loss of life, and water pollution; and WHEREAS, currently City Code allows redeveloped sites to use existing impervious cover as a baseline for drainage calculations, resulting in increased runoff and contributing to flooding and erosive flows downstream; and WHEREAS, increasing density reduces sprawl and thereby reduces traffic congestion, pollution, and development of open spaces and agricultural; and WHEREAS, a U.S. Geological Survey study found that using green stormwater infrastructure for water quality provided enhanced mitigation of peak flows and run-off volumes compared to large, detention-based stormwater control practices; and WHEREAS, the Watershed Protection Department "Master …

The approved resolution directed the City Manager to initiate a suite of code amendments related to environmental health and landscape requirements. Council approved staff’s request to postpone consideration of this item to your meeting of October 13, 2022. A summary of these code amendments, which the resolution directed to be considered by September 15, 2022, is provided below: 1. 2. 3. Initiated code amendment: Establish criteria that prioritize when green stormwater methods should be required or incentivized over conventional stormwater controls. Staff recommendation: Require green stormwater controls, such as biofiltration ponds, rain gardens, rainwater harvesting, etc., for sites with less than 90% impervious cover, except for sites meeting certain conditions. Allow an administrative variance option for constrained sites. Initiated code amendment: Require surface parking lot stormwater to enter pervious parking lot islands, landscaped medians, and perimeter landscapes as a method of water quality and require that pavement be graded to allow runoff to enter planting areas. Staff recommendation: Remove stormwater irrigation requirements from existing landscape requirements. Remove six-inch curb barrier requirement for parking lot islands, medians, and peninsulas. Require stormwater to flow into parking lot islands, medians, and peninsulas when feasible. Initiated code amendment: Implement Functional Green requirements for properties with more than 80% allowable impervious cover. Staff recommendation: Apply Functional Green landscape requirements for sites with greater than 80% allowable impervious cover within a new Subchapter (C) in Land Development Code Chapter 25-8 Environment. Staff recommends a delayed effective date of Functional Green landscape requirements until the associated rules can be vetted through the stakeholder process. Staff requests that the Council also provide direction Page 1 of 3 4. 5. 6. 8. 9. 7. allowing them to amend Title 25-2 Zoning to move the remainder of the existing landscaping requirements from 25-2 Zoning into the newly created subchapter and allow staff to propose minor modifications for clarity to existing landscaping requirements.

To: Chair and Commissioners of the City of Austin Planning Commission; Ms. Sherri Sirwaitis CC: Mr. Andrew Rivera From: Nathalie Frensley, District 7 Re: Item 18, C14-2022-0120 – 5003 Burnet Road, FOR Staff Recommendation to Rezone to CS-1-MU-V-CO-NP Mr. Rivera – Could you please add this to backup for Item 18? Thank you very much. Dear Chair and Commissioners of the Planning Commission – Please support Ms. Sherri Sirwaitis’ recommendation and the applicant’s willingness to rezone the tenant space at 5003 Burnet Road from CS-MU-V-CO-NP to CS-1-MU-V-CO-NP, which will allow for package liquor sales only. We deeply appreciate Ms. Sirwaitis’ and the applicant’s sensitivity to early neighborhood concerns that the tenant space at 5003 Burnet could become a bar now or in the future. For those commissioners unfamiliar with that locale, the commercial area is organically developing into a medical and social services district, bounded by family residential with three daycares and three schools, creating a community area in which a bar/lounge would be a very inappropriate use. Ally Medical Emergency Room is approximately 2/3 of a mile to the north and Eye Physicians of Austin, which is adjacent to 5003 Burnet, anchor this emerging medical district. Eye Physicians of Austin is a major ophthalmological and surgical facility, with many patients. Within .5 miles, the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Disabled is a major state health facility and school and many of its adult clients live close by 5003 Burnet Road. Both Allandale and Brentwood Neighborhood associations had early concerns about a bar and potentially inebriated patrons in an area with one of the highest concentrations of visually disabled pedestrians in Austin. There is additional context supporting Ms. Sirwaitis’ staff recommendation for package liquor sales only. Other Social services/senior citizen support are in proximity to this property, including the Dyslexia-Orton Dyslexia Society (.5 miles), Austin Crisis Center (.5 miles), and an eldercare residential facility (.3 miles). Campaigns for People is only 528’ away from 5003 Burnet. Other medical offices and services are also in proximity (.5-.2 miles), including three doctors’ offices and ATX Primary Care. A doctor’s office and an optometrist are each only 528’ away from 5003 Burnet. There are three daycares within 1500’ of 5003 Burnet, and the Truelove Montessori and Huntington-Surrey High School are in close proximity. Please vote to support Ms. Sirwaitis’ recommendation to rezone to CS-1-MU-V- CO-NP, which will allow for package liquor …

AUSTIN GERIATRIC CENTER, INC. D/B/A REBEKAH BAINES JOHNSON CENTER 21 Waller Street Austin, Texas 78702 October 6, 2022 Via email to jesse.gutierrez@austintexas.gov Via email to amit.motwani@austintexas.gov City of Austin Community Development Commission Attn: Mr. Amit Motwani, Chair c/o Mr. Jesse Gutierrez Dear Chair Motwani and Members: It has been a privilege for me to serve with Dr. Jacqueline Angel on the advisory group seeking to further the development of an intergenerational resource and activity center at the Nash Hernandez building. In that regard, I would like to express support of the Austin Geriatric Center, Inc., the owner of the Rebekah Baines Johnson Center (“RBJ”), for the development of the intergenerational resource and activity center as well as for the redevelopment of the Nash Hernandez building as a vital community resource. Those of us involved in the development and operation of RBJ believe that the establishment of an intergenerational resource and activity center would be very beneficial to the residents of RBJ and our neighborhood, and that the restoration of the Nash Hernandez building will result in many other opportunities for community benefit in the area of the building. As you may know, RBJ has recently completed 279 new affordable units for low income seniors which wrap around our 16 story Tower. All of the residents of the Tower have now moved in to the new units and we expect to start the first phase of renovating the Tower in the next month. After the completion of our renovation and re-occupancy of the Tower, RBJ will consist of more than 500 units of affordable housing for seniors. We are also pleased to advise you that we have recently entered into a lease with WellMed pursuant to which WellMed will finish out and operate a primary care health clinic in ground floor space in our building on Art Dilly Drive. WellMed is a leading provider of primary care in our community and a number of RBJ residents are already WellMed patients. However, this new clinic will not only serve residents of RBJ but will also be available to serve other residents of the neighborhood and will be easily accessible by bus. The adjacency of RBJ and the Nash Hernandez building would not only provide great programmatic opportunities for RBJ residents but would also make available through WellMed convenient access to primary care for others who might be participating in programmatic activities at …
Nash Hernandez Intergenerational Resource and Activity Center (IRAC) Overview and Background July 21, 2022 Version 1 Updated 10/7/22 IDC Advisory Group Email: jangel@austin.utexas.edu Phone: 512.970 4068 UT Repository https://repositories.lib.utexas.edu/handle/2152/65188 Resolution #89 (June 16, 2022) Nash Hernandez Intergenerational Resource and Activity Center (IRAC) Adult Day Health Care and Child Care Centers, Intergenerational Programming, Tele- behavioral Health Services, Transportation, Service Coordination 2 Target Audience: 25 preschool age children and 50 older adults Timeline: PARD-UT LBJ School, Feasibility Study, deadline October 12, 2022 Services: Social, cognitive and physical activities, aging supportive resources, health and social service coordination, as well as tele-behavioral health screening Hours of Operation: 7:30-5:30 pm (children); 9-12 pm; 12-1 pm lunch; 1-2 pm (nap time); 2-5 pm (older adults/varsity generation) Days: weekly Space and Staff Requirements The Intergenerational Day Pilot Program, which is the first among planned Resource and Activity Centers (IRAC) requires 9,600 square feet (sf) plus 1,250 (sf) of outdoor space to accommodate both seniors and preschool-aged children in a way they have room to interact amongst their own age groups and together. The building will house both seniors and children, as well as indoor and outdoor spaces for single-generation and intergenerational activities. These spaces include an Adult Day Room where older adults can spend their day with their peers and away from children if they choose to do so. The space at Nash Hernandez would include several common spaces, such as outdoor and indoor gardens, and a community kitchen. The Pilot provides a homelike atmosphere with multipurpose, flexible spaces that can support different types of interactions (e.g., one-on-one, small group, large group [single- or multi-generation]). Importantly, the Pilot fosters fully accessible and direct and indirect access to different levels of interactions. The Center needs to include a private, sound-proof space with internet access in order to provide confidential tele-behavioral health screening to facilitate the services the IDC can offer, such as mental health screenings and aging resources navigation assessments. Additionally, the space should include distinct rooms for each age group of children who will attend the program, while including windows for guests and older participants to look in at the children playing. Space is needed for a preschool area. There needs to be two classrooms for the children, split by age group 3 and 4-year-olds. Each classroom should have windows through which the younger children can see the environment where they will move to in the future. …

Building an Intergenerational Day Center Background Austin suffers a glaring gap in intergenerational services (IDS), including adult day health care for low-income seniors and children. Resolution #89 directed Austin City Manager (PARD-LBJ School) pursue measures regarding implementation of an Intergenerational Resource and Activity Center (IRAC) on June 26, 2022 20181018-041, Resolution (austintexas.gov). Recommendations The resolution recommended a feasibility study of a potential joint-use site for the IRACE located at the Nash Hernandez Sr. Road in the Holly neighborhood (78702 Zip code) and near the RBJ Center for Independent Living. The city owned Nash Hernandez building is included in the Holly Shores Master Plan Phase II as a space for the community (Nash Hernandez Building Project | AustinTexas.gov). Transforming the Nash Hernandez Property into a community center would meet the mutual goals for both the Holly Shores Master Plan and the IRAC Initiative. Space Requirement The IDS Pilot, which is the first among planned Resource and Activity Centers (IRAC), requires 9,600 square feet (sf) indoor space plus 3,000 (sf) of outdoor space to accommodate 50 seniors and 25 toddlers/preschoolers, (phase II includes Martin Middle School students) in a way they have room to interact amongst their own age groups and together.
