This is precisely where Austin should be adding housing. South Congress is an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor with existing high-frequency transit service and the potential for significant future transit investment. Adding approximately 350 apartments and ground-floor commercial space here will allow more Austinites to live near transit, employment, schools, parks, and everyday services while supporting a more walkable and transit-oriented corridor. The site also has an important history. It previously contained 48 mobile homes that provided naturally occurring affordable housing but has now sat vacant for approximately three years. While the proposed apartments cannot undo the displacement of those former residents, they can restore housing to the property on a more permanent and stable platform. Through DB90, the project will also provide income-restricted apartments for 40 years. I encourage the applicant to select the option that provides 10% of the units at 50% MFI, offering deeper affordability to households most likely to have benefited from the housing previously available on the site. Finally, I have worked with Alice Glasco on other properties along South Congress Avenue and have found her to be an honest broker who communicates directly, listens carefully, and works constructively with community stakeholders. That experience gives me confidence that concerns raised during the remainder of the development process will receive serious consideration. Congress Views advances Austin’s housing, affordability, land-use, and transportation goals on a site well suited for additional density. I respectfully ask the Planning Commission to support both the neighborhood plan amendment and the associated rezoning.

Strategic Annexation and Development of Dog’s Head: A Vital Resource Opportunity City Manager’s Office | May 19, 2026 Current Challenge On the economic development stage, Austin is playing catch up. The City’s economic development efforts need to level the playing field to support Austin’s fiscal sustainability. A key element is having shovel-ready sites ready to match the speed of opportunity. Unfortunately, the existence of large shovel-ready sites is a competitive disadvantage in Austin. This is due in part to: Fractionalized ownership of urban land Holdout risk when selling Outdated infrastructure This context creates an economic disadvantage when it comes to fostering economic growth and matching the speed of opportunity. 2 The Fiscal Context: The Need for Action The City of Austin is at a critical financial crossroads. With state-mandated property tax caps (Senate Bill 2) limiting the City’s ability to raise revenue and the exhaustion of federal relief funds, Austin’s fiscal challenges are no longer a distant threat—it’s an immediate reality. It is imperative to expand our tax base and establish new revenue sources that can be equitably shared across the community. To mitigate this disadvantage, strategically annexing large sites within reach of the city’s boundaries can serve as a competitive advantage in the world of economic development. It provides Austin the ability to be prepared when opportunity arrives. 3 Capturing a "Generational Economic Opportunity" The 2,614-acre Dog’s Head Mega-Site in the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) under one ownership entity represents a generational economic opportunity. Bounded between the Colorado river, US 183 and SH 130 The site sits within 15 minutes of downtown and 10 minutes from Austin-Berstrom International Airport (ABA), which is virtually impossible to find anywhere in the Austin MSA. This advantage makes the site a prime candidate for a massive mixed-use hub, employment centers, secondary corporate campus and sports and entertainment to name a few. Dog’s Head Mega-Site 4 A Generational Economic Opportunity Annexing Dog’s Head is one of the most effective ways to secure a new, robust tax base and deliver long-term stability to Austin. Securing a Shovel-Ready Future: In the global market, speed is the ultimate currency. Annexing Dog’s Head creates a primed location to capture the next wave of investment. Risk Mitigation: A shovel-ready site removes the "unknowns" for investors. Austin becomes the default choice rather …

Prior Council Action: For More Information: Amy Everhart, Director, Local Government Issues (512) 322-6087; Pat Sweeney, Interim Vice President Market Operations & Resource Planning (512) 322-6183. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: August 10, 2026- To be reviewed by the Electric Utility Commission. Additional Backup Information: In 2006, Austin Energy and Whirlwind Energy LLC entered into a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement, which is set to expire in December 2027. This authorization provides funding for an extension of the agreement at a competitive price consistent with renewable energy purchase agreements previously authorized by Council in May 2026. The recommended wind power purchase agreement supports Austin Energy’s carbon-free energy goals established in the Austin Energy Resource, Generation, and Climate Protection Plan. The wind facility is already commissioned and operating in the West Texas region of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). The agreement does not require Austin Energy to invest in the operation or maintenance of the facilities and it offers a non-escalating, fixed price per megawatt-hour. The project has demonstrated a history of strong renewable energy production with minimal transmission congestion and is expected to provide continued price-risk mitigation to the Power Supply Adjustment.
