Austin City Council Members and City Manager Broadnax, February 14, 2025 On behalf of Rally Austin, I am proud to present the Fiscal Year 2024 Annual Report, a testament to our shared vision for an inclusive, culturally vibrant, and economically resilient Austin. This report highlights our collective accomplishments and demonstrates the positive momentum we’ve achieved together to advance equitable development while preserving the unique cultural identity of our city. This year, Rally Austin made significant strides, including: Surpassing fundraising goals by 22% and securing $428,000 in investments and philanthropic contributions, empowering us to expand our impact across the community. Cultivating a $152.2 million real estate portfolio, projecting 277,500 square feet of future affordable housing, cultural spaces, and shared-use areas designed to uplift local communities. Supporting five creative and iconic venues, including the Museum of Human Achievement with $2.5 million in investments, reinforcing Austin's reputation as a hub for creative expression and innovation. Advancing transformative development projects in the African American Cultural Heritage District, including Blocks 16 and 18, which will provide affordable housing, cultural hubs, and economic opportunities for the community. Looking ahead, Rally recognizes that the journey to create an equitable and thriving Austin is far from over. The demand for affordable creative and cultural spaces continues to grow, as does the need to address disparities across historically underserved neighborhoods. Rally Austin is committed to partnering with City staff to identify and prioritize new opportunities that will bring meaningful and measurable benefits to all communities. Additionally, our team is eager to collaborate with the City to: Support the evaluation and implementation of large-scale catalytic projects that align with Austin’s growth priorities and deliver sustainable economic benefits. Expand our efforts to preserve and develop affordable cultural spaces, ensuring that Austin’s creative identity remains accessible and inclusive. Extend equitable development initiatives to other underserved areas, using the success of Blocks 16 and 18 as a model for future projects. Explore innovative funding strategies and partnerships that diversify resources and reduce reliance on City funding, ensuring a regional approach and the long-term sustainability of our mission. Rally Austin remains steadfast in its mission to unite diverse voices, foster collaboration, and create a culturally resilient Austin. Together, we can preserve what makes Austin unique while shaping a future where all communities have the opportunity to thrive. Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We …

It was designed by noted Austin architect Edwin Clinton Kreisle and is distinguished by its Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style and for several significant occupants who were outstanding in the fields of law and education. The property is within the North University NCCD-NP and is listed as a contributing structure within the Aldridge Place Local Historic District. ● The accessory apartment structure at the north edge of the property was permitted and built in the 1970s, has no architectural significance and is in need of major repair and maintenance. ● We propose to modify the first level of the existing accessory building for a pool room with storage and to add a second level apartment, along with a one-story adjacent Garage. The Garage opens to West 34th Street which bounds the property on the north. Many houses on this block are a full-block deep and well over half of the houses have accessory buildings, many two- story with garages facing West 34th Street. ● Our design approach is to use a stucco exterior similar to the main house. We propose a low-pitched hipped roof to reduce visual impact of the new second level. Our design goal is to create an understated form that complements the historic main house yet does not detract from the main house.
