HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits June 3, 2026 PR-2026-056008; GF-2026-059357 916 West Live Oak Street 16 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1925 building. Architecture This modest, single-story structure is laid out in a rectangular plan and features Craftsman-style elements. It is elevated slightly above grade on pier and beam foundation, and clad in original teardrop siding. The windows appear to be replacement 1-over-1 fixtures of varying sizes. The centered front porch features hemispherical curved wood entryway decoration at its center, complete with decorative elements including brackets. There is a paired set of windows on either side of the entryway. Above, the roof is a moderately pitched side gable assembly. Besides the windows, the house retains good integrity of its original construction. Research Longtime owners of the property, Sidney and Cleo Holder, lived at the address from its construction around 1925 until at least the 1960s. Sidney worked in carpentry, and was employed for many years as a cabinet maker at Becker Lumber Company, but by the 1950s had started his own business as a contractor and millworker. The two raised at least one child, Robert, who served in the U.S. Army during World War II, before returning home and living with the family while working as an assistant at the University of Texas.

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION Applications for Demolition and Relocation Permits June 3, 2026 PR-2026-057561; GF-2026-059385 1302 Garden Street 17 – 1 Proposal Demolish a ca. 1930 house. Architecture This property is a single-story and rectangular in plan set on a raised pier-and-beam foundation. There is a center porch which extends roughly halfway across the front façade. There are two front doors set side-by-side, which may indicate that this structure was once a duplex. A gable roof covers the porch, which meets the overall hipped roof structure behind it. The windows appear to be original, 1-over-1 units. The original teardrop siding and rafter tails remain present and, while weathered, the house retains good integrity of its original construction details. Research The first residents of the property were Fred & Vida Simpson, who rented the address for over ten years. Fred worked various roles in the soft drink industry, specifically in distribution and sales. By the mid-1940s, the house was owned by Beatrice & Thomas Townsley. At this time, Thomas was listed as a student and Beatrice worked as a waitress at the Terrace Motel Restaurant. By 1959, they had moved away and the house was occupied by renters once again. Department Comments This application will time out on August 17, 2026. Property Evaluation The 2016 East Austin historic resource survey lists the property as contributing to a potential local or National Register historic district. Designation Criteria—Historic Landmark 1) The building is more than 50 years old. 2) The building appears to retain moderate-to-high integrity. 3) Properties must meet two criteria for landmark designation (LDC §25-2-352).

To: From: Date: Subject: MEMORANDUM Historic Landmark Commission Historic Preservation Office Staff May 27, 2026 Staff-Recommended Addition to Proposed Alterations to Historic Tax Abatement Program The purpose of this attachment is for a staff-requested revision to the program rules for the Historic Tax Abatement program. This revision would require any Part II (Verification of completed work and review of expenditures) application be submitted by an applicant within one calendar year of the substantial completion of approved work to the Historic Preservation Office for review. Currently, program rules state that “a certificate of occupancy must be obtained within 2 years after the date the Certificate of Eligibility (Part I application) is approved.” This statement is proposed to remain, with language added to require the submission of application material be made to the Historic Preservation Office in a timely manner in order to better track and close out open projects. Currently, there is no stated time requirement for the submission of paperwork, only a timeline for which rehabilitation work must be completed. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Austin Lukes, Planner Senior of Austin Planning at austin.lukes@austintexas.gov or 512-978-0766.

Bond Election Advisory Task Force Final Recommendation Dave Sullivan BEATF member Environmental Commission, June 3, 2026 BEATF History • City Council Resolution No. 20240718-093 directed the City Manager to prepare and present a comprehensive bond package for a bond election no later than November 2026. • Bond Election Advisory Task Force (BEATF) was designated by City Council Resolution 20240829-138 to suggest projects for consideration for a comprehensive general obligation (GO) bond election. • 22 members, each Council member appointing 2 members. • GO bonds pay for capital projects – buildings, roads, land purchase, parks, sidewalks, stormwater controls, etc., not operations and maintenance. BEATF History • BEATF met twice a month (generally) and created 6 work groups to consider potential bond items: • Community Engagement • Stormwater/Watershed Protection • Parkland and Open Space • Affordable Housing • Facilities and Assets (Libraries, Rec Centers, etc.) • Transportations and Electrification • City staff presented a list of $3.9 billion worth of city capital needs. BEATF History • A City Council “sub-quorum” suggested a smaller ~$375M to $400M bond package, and the BEATF obliged. This smaller package included $250M-$260M for Parks & Open Space, $50M-$60M for Facilities & Assets, and $70M-$80M for Transportation. • From our Community Engagement WG research, Housing and Transportation are the top priorities. Across all engagement methods, these categories emerged as the most consistent and widely supported, with additional support for quality-of-life investments such as parks, recreation, and community facilities. • City staff has proposed postponing the GO Bond election from Nov. 2026 to Nov. 2028. In 2028 we would have a larger number of voters, and debt from earlier bond elections paid off. $200M $147M $175M $113.4M $131M Watershed / Stormwater projects Stormwater$MOpen Space Acquisition12Small Scale Stormwater & Drainage Asset Management9Stormwater & Drainage Partnership Opportunities14Stormwater Resilience Program3Tannehill Creek - Bartholomew Park Stormwater Treatment Retrofit1.4Walnut Creek - North Acres Storm Drain4Tannehill Creek - Morris Williams Stormwater Improvements8.5Boggy Creek - Kealing Park Green Infrastructure Program1.3Walnut Creek - McNeil Dr Low Water Crossing Improvements1.5Colorado River - CAPEX Water Quality Control21.65Williamson Creek - Brassiewood Dr. Ph 3 Neighborhood Stormdrain Improvements20Boggy Creek - MLK TOD Stormwater Conveyance Improvements Ph 31.5Waller Creek - Guadalupe St Flood Risk Reduction Project Ph 1-315.575Total113.425 Well, we proposed a little more than $750M • City staff’s recommendation reflected a different set of priorities than those used by the BEATF, and proposed $0 for Affordable Housing, • $251M for Transportation …

. RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Commission For Women Recommendation Number: [YYYYMMDD-XXX]: Recommendation to the Austin City Council for the allocation of funding to Communities In Schools of Central Texas to support programs enhancing the academic and personal success of young girls in the Austin Independent School District. WHEREAS, the City of Austin Commission for Women is tasked with advising the City Council on issues affecting the economic security, health, and well-being of women and girls in our community; and WHEREAS, research, including the recently released Harvard Impact Study, demonstrates that personalized, integrated student supports lead to stronger academic outcomes, higher lifetime earnings, and increased local tax contributions; and WHEREAS, young girls in Central Texas, particularly those from under-resourced backgrounds, face unique barriers to education including lack of access to mental health services, basic needs, and mentorship; and WHEREAS, Communities In Schools (CIS) of Central Texas provides a proven “ecosystem of support” by placing dedicated program managers directly on campuses to provide case management, crisis intervention, and academic guidance; and WHEREAS, the support provided by CIS has been shown to empower young girls by improving attendance, graduation rates, and self-efficacy, thereby reducing their long-term involvement with public assistance systems; and WHEREAS, the City of Austin is committed to a Racial Equity Plan that seeks to eliminate disparities in outcomes for all residents, with education being a primary driver of such equity. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Commission recommends the Austin City Council allocate funding—specifically as part of the Social Services budget—to Communities In Schools of Central Texas to sustain and expand its campus-based services. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that funding be prioritized for Communities In Schools of Central Texas ensuring they have the mental health and academic resources necessary to achieve economic independence and long-term success.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2026-0001 – 3416 Davis Lane DISTRICT: 5 ADDRESS: 3416 Davis Lane ZONING FROM: GR-CO TO: GR-CO, to change a condition of zoning SITE AREA: 7.31 acres PROPERTY OWNER: 3416 Davis Lane AGV, LLC AGENT: Armburst & Brown, PLLC (Michael Whellan) CASE MANAGER: Reese McMichael (512-974-7633, reese.mcmichael@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant community commercial – conditional overlay (GR-CO) combining district zoning, to change a condition of zoning. The conditional overlay will be amended to allow drive-in service as an accessory use to commercial uses. All other portions of the conditional overlay will remain unchanged. ZONING & PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 2, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of approximately 7.31 acres located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Davis Lane and Brodie Lane. This site is currently undeveloped, while the current zoning district of this property, established in 2001 by Ordinance No. 011004-12, is Community Commercial – Conditional Overlay (GR-CO); the conditional overlay in effect for this property establishes floor-to-area ratio caps, restrictions on certain uses, and a 02 C14-2026-0001 - 3416 Davis Lane; District 51 of 13 prohibition on drive-in service as an accessory use to commercial uses. Please refer to Exhibit D (Ordinance No. 011004-12). Adjacent land uses consists of multifamily residences and undeveloped land to the east, multifamily residences to the north, single family residences and commercial uses to the south, and open space and multifamily residences to the west. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). As for the transportation context of the larger vicinity surrounding this property, the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) identifies Davis Lane as a level 2 street, while Brodie Lane is established as a level 3 street. This property is approximately one mile north of the intersection of Slaughter Lane, an Imagine Austin corridor, and Brodie Lane. The applicant is requesting that the prohibition on drive-in service as an accessory use to commercial uses be removed from the conditional overlay. This would allow the applicant to provide neighborhood-serving commercial uses which could include a low-intensity drive- through accessory use. Staff is recommending Community Commercial – Conditional Overlay (GR-CO) combining district zoning with the modification to the conditional overlay because of the site’s proximity to Brodie Lane - a major corridor, and Davis Lane …

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL African American Resource Advisory Commission Recommendation Number: [20260602-005]: Inclusion of Infrastructure Equity and Medical Resilience in the Pilot Knob Library & Austin Resilience Network Project WHEREAS, the Pilot Knob area is experiencing a rapid influx of high-density data centers equipped with advanced power hardening, while surrounding legacy residential neighborhoods remain on an aging grid; and WHEREAS, data center industrialization creates voltage fluctuations that pose a high risk of motor failure for standard residential HVAC systems and life-saving medical equipment, such as oxygen concentrators, ventilators, and power chairs; and WHEREAS, the medically vulnerable and disabled community in surrounding Austin neighborhoods, particularly those located within historically underserved District 2, face disproportionate life-safety risks during localized outages, making standard "cooling centers" insufficient for their needs; and WHEREAS, the City must ensure that infrastructure improvements made for industrial growth are extended to residential circuits to prevent vulnerable residents from being left on a "second-class" grid. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the African American Resource Advisory Commission encourage the Austin City Council to formally include specific language and funding in the November 2026 Bond to ensure the Pilot Knob Library and Austin Resilience Network serves as a high-capacity "Medical Triage Anchor". This includes scaling the facility for specialized medical plug-in capacity, coordinating with Austin Energy for residential grid hardening, and equipping the hub with industrial-grade redundant power systems to support medical devices.
