Appendix L The highlighted code sections below were requested to be included in the 2023 Uniform Plumbing Code amendments. City staff are not in support of adding these amendments, these sections pertain to water heater requirements for the purpose of establishing means of conserving water and energy. Energy conservation requirements for water heating already exist in the energy code in sections and subsections of C404 & R403.5 duplication and amending both codes would only add additional confusion and increase our amendments when our goal is to return to model code as much as possible for the purpose of consistency and is preferred by the majority of stakeholders. For over a number of years Austin Water has established a comprehensive plan for water conservation and will continue to do so, Appendix L is not a part of the plan at this time, this appendix is intended to encourage sustainable practices and not creating requirements. Water Heater Requirements L 101.1 Applicability. The purpose of this appendix is to provide a comprehensive set of technically sound provisions that encourage sustainable practices and works towards enhancing the design and construction of plumbing systems that result in a positive long-term environmental impact. This appendix is not intended to circumvent the health, safety, and general welfare requirements of this code. L 501.0 Water Heating Design, Equipment, and Installation. L 501.1 Scope. The provisions of this section shall establish the means of conserving potable and non-potable water and energy associated with the generation and use of hot water in a building. This includes provisions for the hot water distribution system, which is the portion of the potable water distribution system between a water heating device and the plumbing fixtures, including dedicated return piping and appurtenances to the water heating device in a recirculation system. L 503.0 Service Hot Water – Other Than Low-Rise Residential Buildings. L 503.1 General. The service hot water, other than single family houses, multifamily structures of three stories or fewer above grade, and modular houses shall comply with this section. L 503.1.1 New Buildings. Service water-heating systems and equipment shall comply with the requirements of this section as described in Section L 503.2. [ASHRAE 90.1:7.1.1.1] L 503.3.1 Load Calculations. Service water-heating system design loads for the purpose of sizing systems and equipment shall be determined in accordance with manufacturer’s published sizing guidelines or generally accepted engineering standards and handbooks acceptable to the adopting …

Enclosed Parking Garage The code amendment proposal is to remove “10 ft. above a public way discharge location” limitation for class 2 air, specifically enclosed garages in section 502.2.1 Environmental, Class 1, and Class 2 Air Ducts. • • The 2015, 2021 and 2024 UMC are requiring the 10 ft. above a public way. The 2021 and the 2024 IMC do not have this limitation. Staff agrees that the garage ventilation systems in enclosed parking garages should terminate in accordance with the provisions of section 502.2.1. Staff agrees to not create a code amendment, since ducts routinely convey exhaust products containing carbon monoxide, smoke, soot, water vapor and particles of rubber from tires. Since garage ventilation systems may also be required to dissipate fumes from vehicular fuel spills, staff recommends that garage ventilation systems should be regarded as ducts conveying flammable vapors, although is agreeable to treat as environmental air per model code. The location of blowers at lower levels would also create a nuisance with the volume of air directed at pedestrians. 502.2.1 Environmental, Class 1, and Class 2 Air Ducts. Environmental, Class 1, and Class 2 air duct exhaust shall terminate not less than 3 feet (914 mm) from a property line, 10 feet (3048 mm) above a public way, 3 feet (914 mm) from openings into the building and the minimum separation distance from ventilation system outdoor air intakes determined in accordance with Section 402.4.1. The discharge of dryer exhaust ducts shall not terminate over a public way or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard. UMC Codes Administration The phrase, “the discharge of environmental exhaust ducts shall not be directed onto a public walkway” is proposed to be limited to only dryer exhaust, which is the only Class 1 or 2 exhaust composed of near-saturated air. This air can condense in cold weather and drip onto the public way and potentially freeze in cold climates, creating a hazard. The words “directed onto” are revised to “terminate over” since the hazard can exist even if the air is discharged horizontally, and the limitation was expanded to include any area where condensation may be a hazard using the wording from Section 8.2.8.3 for condensing appliance vents. Other Type 1 and 2 exhaust are addressed by the requirements earlier in the section requiring that discharge be at least “10 feet (3048 mm) above …

SHEFFIELD NORTHWEST DISTRICT PARK – POOL RENOVATION | DESIGN COMMISSION PRESENTATION | OCTOBER 23, 2023 History of Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest District Park - Pool On July 28, 1956, the Northwest Pool and Bathhouse opened to the public. The pool and bathhouse cost $200,000 to construct and were dedicated with great fanfare on August 9, 1956. The pool was the first 50-meter regulation Olympic-sized pool in Austin, which allowed the city to qualify for national swimming meets. The Northwest Park Bathhouse was a modern-design circular bathhouse with open-air dressing rooms. Also built-in 1956, the building is eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Northwest Park, which hosts the aquatic facility, proved to be extremely popular. In its first full month of operation in August 1956, attendance at the new Olympic-size pool eclipsed that of Barton Springs. The name of the park and pool was later changed to honor former Parks and Recreation Director Beverly S. Sheffield.

The pool originally opened in 1979. On February 1, 1974, Austin Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) purchased the Montopolis Community Center from Montopolis Community Center, Inc. and also received five surrounding acres to develop into a park. In 1976, the Planning Commission began emphasizing a need for swimming pools throughout all communities and expedited the construction of a swimming pool in Montopolis Park. The Montopolis Pool was also championed later that year by the Parks and Recreation Board, and the first pool development process began in December 1977 and was completed in 1979. The pool has served the community for 43 years and needs renovations.
