BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: The zoning case includes two tracts, one at 1221 S IH-35 SVRD NB which has Commercial land use and is not part of the plan amendment application. The second tract is 1400 Lupine Lane which has Single Family land use and is proposed for Commercial land use which is consistent with the Commercial land use at 1221 S IH-35 SVRD NB. Staff supports the Applicant’s request for Commercial land use at 1400 Lupine Lane because the two tracts will be developed together for the proposed Transportation Terminal use. Although the proposed Commercial land use appears to be encroaching into a residential area, the property is essentially part of 1221 S IH-35 and is primarily a retaining wall that is not developable for …

Please see Updated Summary Letter – Exhibit D. On January 2, 2025, staff published the Comprehensive Analysis of Density Bonus Programs report. This report evaluated the performance of existing density bonus programs and recommended changes to improve their overall performance. One of the major recommendations coming out of this study was to combine, streamline, and consolidate density bonus programs to the extent practicable. Bonus height entitlements that are more or less than 30 feet; Minimum affordability requirements that are calibrated and informed by the Therefore, on June 5, 2025, Council approved Resolution No. 20250605-080 that initiated land development code amendments to create a variety of density bonus combining districts that consider: • • Comprehensive Analysis of Density Bonus Programs report; Additional community benefit requirements such as ground floor activation, • minimum commercial and civic space, onsite beneficial reuse, updated design standards, and others; • • Modified compatibility regulations; and Redevelopment requirements, including considering one-to-one unit replacement. On September 1, 2025, a slate of new state laws went into effect that were passed during the 89th Legislative Session, including Senate Bill 840 (SB 840). SB 840 aims to increase housing stock by allowing more market-rate housing to be built on most property zoned commercial, by right. This new legislation reduces incentives to participate in voluntary density bonus programs for many properties, unless an applicant seeks additional modifications of development standards such as additional height. This may result in fewer income-restricted affordable housing units being included in new developments. However, the City remains committed to growing affordable housing availability using a variety of tools, including …

CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant neighborhood commercial – conditional overlay – neighborhood plan (LR-CO-NP) combining district zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit service station. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 27, 2026: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The applicant is amenable to the staff recommendation LR-CO-NP with service station as a prohibited use. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is approximately 0.75 acres located at 1712 West 35th Street. West 35th Street is a Level 3 roadway per the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP), an Imagine Austin Corridor and Core Transit Corridor. The site is currently developed with two structures, is zoned Limited Office-Neighborhood Plan (LO-NP) and is designated neighborhood commercial on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The property is located within the Central West Austin Combined Neighborhood Planning Area, specifically the Windsor Road Neighborhood Plan area. The surrounding land uses are mixed use which 10 C14-2026-0056 - W. 35th; District 101 of 11 C14-2026-0056 2 include single family residential, multifamily residential, retail and various commercial uses (SF-3-NP; MF-3; LR; LO-NP; LR-NP; LO-MU-CO-DB90-NP; CS-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant is requesting LR-NP, neighborhood commercial-neighborhood plan combined district zoning to allow for the reuse of the existing structures for a small local jewelry store. The requested zoning is consistent with the Future Land Use Map designation (FLUM) of Neighborhood Commercial, and a neighborhood plan amendment is not required. The staff is recommending LR-CO-NP as it aligns with the Future Land Use Map designation of Neighborhood Commercial and provides opportunities for neighborhood serving commercial uses along a Level 3 roadway and Imagine Austin Corridor. The request would allow for the reuse of the existing structures for neighborhood office and commercial uses and is consistent with the surrounding development and rezoning patterns along West 35th Street. The Conditional Overlay would prohibit Service Station, further limiting a use that may be less compatible with the surrounding area. The applicant is in agreement with the staff recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district …

The University agrees that the City is not responsible for resolving any disputes that may arise due to a lack of remaining FAR.

June 24, 2026 City of Austin P.O Box 1088 Austin, Tx 78767 Subject Property: 1721 West 35th Street Dear City of Austin, Please see the attached documentation and application for this rezone request. The lot is .266 of an acre with most of the lot having open space with a small building in the front of the property. Subject property is on located on 35tth Street. The home has been used as a small studio under Limit Office zoning. However, the new owner is requesting Neighborhood Commercial (LR) zoning to allow for a small local jewelry store. The new owner Elizabeth is a local jewelry maker very passionate about her work. Her goal is to use the current building as her jewelry store highlighting her original pieces. We have been also working with the Bryker Woods Neighborhood Association where we have agreed with the following Conditional Overlay for 1721 West 35th Street that sets a maximum building height of 39 feet and also removing the land use of service station. This aligns with the conditional overlay the Planning Commission and the City Council adopted for 1801 and 1805 W. 35th St. on September 24th. 35th Street is a level 3 street according to ASMP Plan which is in alignment with the city’s requirement for rezoning. The properties to the west are in the process of rezoning to LR-NP specifically 1801, 1803, and 1805 W 35th. Staff has communicated their preliminary approval of the rezone. The future land use map shows that Neighborhood Commercial (LR) is listed under the Neighborhood Commercial designation for the property. No additional applications are needed for the FLUM. There is a pattern of businesses and multi-family zoning on 35th Street currently. The rezone will fit within the bustling businesses currently thriving along the corridor.

14 Muny Interlocal Agreement Amendments Briefing1 of 4 14 Muny Interlocal Agreement Amendments Briefing2 of 4 MEMORANDUM / PUBLIC STATEMENT TO: City of Austin Planning Commission RE: Brackenridge Tract Development Plan - Statement in Support of Preserving the Brackenridge Field Laboratory (BFL) I am writing as a citizen of the state of Texas and University of Texas graduate to urge the City of Austin Planning Commission to reject any development plan that compromises, reallocates, or redevelops the University of Texas Brackenridge Field Laboratory (BFL). As a Regents Professor and Endowed Chair at Texas A&M University - and a former UT Austin graduate student - I can attest that BFL is an irreplaceable, globally unique ecological asset whose scientific, economic, and educational contributions far outweigh any short-term commercial real estate development. My own career serves as direct proof of BFL’s high-yield scientific ROI. In 1993, my initial observations on the grounds of BFL sparked a research trajectory that led to the discovery of density-dependent warning coloration in insects. Published in the premier journal Nature, this finding solved an evolutionary puzzle dating back to Charles Darwin and provided the long- sought key to understanding the swarming and color shifts of the Desert locust - a pest of Biblical proportions that threatens food security across Africa and Asia. That foundational discovery at BFL directly launched my international research career leading to global impacts and commercial innovation. As a result of my work at BFL, I received USDA Postdoctoral Fellowship to work at Oxford University in the UK and conduct field research in West Africa. I then accepted positions with the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Montana, the University of Sydney in Australia, and ultimately my appointment as Regents Professor and Charles R. Parencia Endowed Chair in Cotton Entomology at Texas A&M University. My research in Texas has since expanded into applied agricultural biotechnology, yielding seven U.S. patents to date and commercial microbial crop products used to improve the growth of critical crops including cotton, corn, soybean, wheat and rice for farmers worldwide. BFL is not idle land; it is a high-output research driver. The foundation laid during my time at BFL enabled me to secure over $24 million in research funding throughout my career so far. These resources have directly funded scientific workforce training through the education and mentorship of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral scholars who now lead in academia, industry, and government …
City of Austin and University of Texas Brackenridge Interlocal Agreement Planning Commission Briefing | October 27, 2026 Agenda ▪ Background ▪ Lions Lease Agreement ▪ Current Agreement ▪ Proposed Amendments o Non-regulatory elements o Regulatory elements ▪ Schedule ▪ Discussion 2 Why are we doing this? ▪ Significantly improve development requirements and standards for the area in comparison to standards in the 1989 BDA. ▪ Address longstanding community concerns about Muny’s future and keep it affordable and accessible to all who want to play, especially given its significance as a civil rights landmark. ▪ This opportunity has come to us through the confluence of decades of work by the Austinites who love Muny, the commitment of UT and the City, and the generosity of the donors. 3 Background - Brackenridge In 1910, George W. Brackenridge, philanthropist and longest serving regent for the University of Texas at Austin, donated approximately 500 acres of land along the Colorado River to the University, known as the “Brackenridge Tract.” 4 Site Boundaries Today, the area includes approximately 350 acres of undeveloped and developed land containing the Lions Municipal Golf Course, UT student housing, the Brackenridge Field Laboratory, a youth sports complex and various commercial buildings. 5 Background - Lions ▪ Lions Municipal Golf Course (Muny) occupies 141 acres of University-owned property. o The Austin Lions Club leased the property in 1924 to design and build a golf course. o The City of Austin took over the lease in 1936/1937 and has operated Muny ever since. o In 1950, Muny became the first public golf course in the South to integrate. o In 1972, Frank Erwin sought to cancel the lease, prompting the “Save Muny” campaign. o For more than 50 years, the course’s community of golfers, neighbors, and students has worked to save Muny and preserve its role as a public course. o Today, Muny is home to a diverse community of golfers of all ages and backgrounds and is Austin’s most-used public golf course, with 75,000 rounds played each year. 6 Lions and the Community ▪ Balancing tradition, affordable access, and public spirit ▪ Lowering barriers to the game ▪ Senior Affordability: Special $3.00 rate to protect access for players on fixed incomes. ▪ Junior Affordability: National Youth on Course program guaranteeing open fairways for just $5.00. ▪ Academic and youth pipeline ▪ Home to Austin High School Boys and Girls Teams and …

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Design Commission Recommendation 01: Revision to City Code Description of Recommendation to Council: Date of Approval: X/X/2026 The Design Commission recommends that Austin City Council rename and redesignate the Design Commission as the Urban Design Commission. ● Amend The Code of the City of Austin Title 2, Chapter 2.1 - City boards, Article Recommendation Number: 20261026-00X: Future Role for the City of Austin Design Commission and Commitment to Quality Urban Design in the City of Austin DRAFT 2-1-130 to revise all instances of “Design Commission” to “Urban Design Commission”; Amend bylaws to revise all instances of “Design Commission” to “Urban Design Commission” 2. Simplify and clarify purview by shifting from discretionary to mandatory The Design Commission recommends the following revisions to the bylaws governing the Commission; Recommendations include: 1. Rename the Commission to the “Urban Design Commission”; Recommendation 02: Revision to Commission Bylaws review; Bylaw amendments would require applicable projects to come before the Urban Design Commission before their respective Planning or Zoning and Platting Commission hearings and require projects be presented to City Council and Land Use Commissions with Urban Design Commission recommendation attached. Existing code and criteria manual language would be updated to reflect name change and remove any existing language related to the current Design Commission’s review of Downtown Density Bonus Program projects for compliance with the Urban Design Guidelines; We recommend that Council revise the Design Commission bylaws as follows: Article 1- NAME. The name of the board is Design Commission Urban Design Commission. 3. Clarify purpose and duties of the Commission, define mandatory referral items; Bylaws would state that the Urban Design Commission is the City’s advisory body of record on urban design outcomes citywide and define projects having specific issues of urban design as as mandatory referral items, generally including: major investments on city-owned land, major efforts impacting street design, land development code amendments in geographies with a multi-modal focus, and customized regulatory tools for special areas, as defined in the bylaws redline below. Rational: Support clarity and broader understanding of the Commission’s role and duties. Shed the Commission's association with project-level 'design review board' functions. This association is no longer appropriate following (1) the replacement of substantial-compliance review under the Urban Design Guidelines with compliance under the Downtown Density Bonus Program Urban Design Standards, and (2) the elimination of the Commission's role in reviewing individual Downtown Density Bonus Program projects. …
