M E M O R A N D U M Urban Renewal Board Members December 6, 2022 Courtney Banker, Project Coordinator, Housing and Planning Department TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Applying Affordability Unlocked within the Urban Renewal Plan Area This memorandum provides context for process regarding applying Affordability Unlocked within the Urban Renewal Plan area. Background At the November 14, 2022 Urban Renewal Board (URB) meeting, the Austin Economic Development Commission (AEDC) and consulting team presented updated scenarios for redevelopment options regarding blocks 16 and 18. One development scenario contemplates utilizing the Affordability Unlocked Density Bonus (AU) program on these blocks in order to build more affordable housing by allowing (1) increased height and/or (2) decreased parking requirements. Applying Affordability Unlocked within the URP Blocks 16 and 18 are within the Urban Renewal Plan (URP) area and are subject to the URP (originally adopted December 17, 1999 and most recently amended September 15, 2022). URB members asked staff the following questions related to allowing AU within the URP. The questions and answers are below. Question No. 1: Would the URP need to be amended to allow for AU? Answer: Yes - if the URB wants properties to be eligible for AU, then the URP must be amended. Question No. 2: Would the URP need to be expired to allow for AU? Answer: If the URP expires, then the properties will be eligible for AU without any additional action from the URB, Planning Commission, or City Council. Question No. 3: If the URB recommends to council that AU be applied to the URP, would it need to be approved by Planning Commission and then City Council? Answer: Yes. Additional Questions Related to AU, the URP, and NCCDs When the URP, AU, and Neighborhood Conservation Combining Districts (NCCDs) are in question, the controlling requirements are stated below. Page 1 of 2 • When there is conflict between the URP and the applicable land use regulations or the development bonuses offered by AU, the URP controls. If the URP expires and there is a conflict between the NCCD and the development bonuses offered by AU, the development bonuses supersede the NCCD. If the zoning on the subject property allows 40 feet height but the URP only allows 25 feet, the developer may not exceed 25 feet. If the URP limits height to 25 feet but AU allows 31.25 feet, the developer may not exceed …

From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Megan Santee Escobar, Manuel - BC; Pierce, Darrell - BC Banker, Courtney; DeMayo, Mandy; Aleman, Ruben; May, James Proposed language changes for URB meeting invite for videoconference Tuesday, November 29, 2022 6:07:46 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Chairman Escobar and Vice-Chairman Pierce, I have been working with staff on some modifications to the Board’s videoconference meeting wording in order to be more in line with the TOMA provisions which the URB follows. I would like to get your feedback on whether to go ahead and incorporate the changes for the next meeting and/or have it as a discussion item and, if approved, implement any approved language in January 2023. In the past there have been times when either audio or video communication has been lost or disconnected which has affected the ability to see and hear commissioners in attendance remotely. In an attempt to have clear guidance for Staff and commissioners, to know who was considered present and participated in a vote, I am proposing some wording changes. A commissioner’s loss of video or audio communication could be considered an absence and impact the record of their participation in a meeting. The statute provides that a member of a governing body who participates in a meeting remotely shall be counted as present at the meeting for all purposes if the video and audio feed of the member’s participation is broadcast live at the meeting and complies with this section. TGC Sec. 551.127 (a-1). A member who participates in a meeting as provided by (a-1) shall be counted as present at the meeting for all purposes. TGC Sec. 551.127 (a-2). A member shall be considered absent from any portion of the meeting during which audio or video communication with the member is lost or disconnected. TGC Sec. 551.127 (a-3). The meeting location (of the quorum), and each remote location from which a member participates, shall have two-way audio and video communication with each other location during the entire meeting. The face of each participant in the videoconference call, while that participant is speaking, shall be clearly visible and the voice audible, to each other participant and, during the open portion of the meeting, to the members of the public in attendance. TGC Sec. 551.127 (h). The audio and video signals perceptible by members of the public at each location of the meeting must …
