20201013-02A: Austin Climate Equity Plan — original pdf
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Urban Transportation Commission Recommendation Number 20201013:02A Austin Climate Equity Plan WHEREAS, transportation is the main driver of local air pollution and is on a course to become the single greatest source of greenhouse gases in Austin; WHEREAS, the roughly 600,000 fossil-fuel-burning private cars and trucks on the road are the greatest challenge to reducing local greenhouse gas emissions; WHEREAS, by 2030, the City’s Office of Sustainability predicts that the Austin area is likely to have over 800,000 vehicles on the road; WHEREAS, in order for the City to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, the City’s Office of Sustainability predicts that about 460,000 of those vehicles must be electric by 2030, making up about 40 percent of all vehicle-miles traveled; WHEREAS, electric vehicles, in their manufacture and operation, produce significant pollution, in addition to perpetuating reliance on an ever-expanding roadway network that incentivizes sprawl and travel via single-occupancy vehicles; WHEREAS, the draft Climate Equity Plan aims for active transportation modes like bicycling, rolling, and walking to make up only 4 percent of all distances traveled by 2030; WHEREAS, the City could immediately reduce reliance on personal vehicles by implementing relatively inexpensive active transportation solutions, as demonstrated by the Healthy Streets program; WHEREAS, the perpetuation of car-oriented regional transportation traces back to decision made by the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO), acting through its Transportation Policy Board; WHEREAS, in May 2020, the CAMPO Policy Board voted to adopt the 2045 Regional Transportation Plan, which, like its previous plans, prioritizes road building to serve sprawling development based on overestimated population projections in suburban and rural areas and underestimation in urban areas; WHEREAS, in June 2020, the CAMPO Policy Board voted to allocate $633 million to widening the portion of I-35 that passes through Austin; WHEREAS, the CAMPO Policy Board includes members of the Austin City Council and other local elected officials; WHEREAS, the aggressive goals set out in the Austin Community Climate Plan and the Climate Equity Plan cannot be reconciled with CAMPO’s regional transportation plans and policies; WHEREAS, in March 2020, this Commission approved Recommendation No. 20200310-03A, by a 7-0 vote, identifying inconsistencies between CAMPO policies and Austin goals, and recommending solutions; WHEREAS, successful implementation of the Austin Climate Equity Plan will depend on focused attention and initiative from the City Council and other City leadership across departments, regional cooperation with local partners, and continued engagement with …

Planning Commission: October 13, 2020 NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET NEIGHORHOOD PLAN: Crestview/Wooten Combined (Crestview) CASE#: NPA-2020-0017.01 PROJECT NAME: 904 Morrow Street PC DATE: October 13, 2020 August 25, 2020 DATE FILED: February 27, 2020 (In-cycle) ADDRESSES: 902-904 Morrow Street DISTRICT AREA: 7 SITE AREA: 0.7433 acres OWNER/APPLICANT: Vineway, LLC AGENT: Thrower Design (A. Ron Thrower) CASE MANAGER: Maureen Meredith STAFF EMAIL: Maureen.meredith@austintexas.gov TYPE OF AMENDMENT: Change in Future Land Use Designation From: Single Family Base District Zoning Change To: Multifamily PHONE: (512) 974-2695 Related Zoning Case: C14-2020-0047 From: SF-3-NP To: MF-1-NP NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN ADOPTION DATE: April 1, 2004 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: October 13, 2020 – (pending) August 25, 2020 – Postponed to October 13, 2020 on the consent agenda at the request of the neighborhood. [A. Azhar-1st; R. Schneider – 2nd] Vote: 12-0 [J. Shieh recused due to a conflict of interest; owner of property near subject address]. 1 NPA-2020-0017.02 1 of 32B-4 Planning Commission: October 13, 2020 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Recommended for the applicant’s request for Multifamily land use. BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for multifamily land use because it will add additional housing to the planning area and the city. Multifamily land use is appropriate for this location because there is multifamily land use to the north and east of the property. The proposed change would allow for additional residential units located near the North Lamar Boulevard Activity Corridor and the Crestview Station Town Center as identified on the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The Crestview Neighborhood Plan has objectives and recommendations that seek to protect existing single family uses and to also add housing types currently not available in the planning area for retirees and first time home buyers. The applicant’s proposal to build townhomes could help meet these goals. Land Use Objectives and Recommendations Land Use Objective 1: Preserve the character and affordability of the Crestview and Wooten Neighborhoods. Recommendations 1. Existing single-family residential areas should retain SF-3 zoning. Land Use Objective 5: Provide opportunities for the ultimate redevelopment of the Huntsman Petrochemical site to “complete” the neighborhood and create quality open space. Recommendations 1. Focus more intense commercial and mixed use development along Lamar Boulevard. a. Change the zoning for parcels fronting Lamar Boulevard to allow current uses to continue, but encourage redevelopment with more pedestrian-oriented mixed use. b. Prohibit or limit any additional development of incompatible industrial uses, such as basic …

PROPERTY OWNER: Vineway, LLC, (Tyler McReynolds) AGENT: Thrower Design, (A. Ron Thrower) CASE MANAGER: Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov ) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendation is to grant multifamily residence (limited density) – neighborhood plan (MF-1-NP). For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments below. PLANNING/ COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 13, 2020: August 25, 2020: TO GRANT POSTPONEMENT TO OCTOBER 13, 2020 AS REQUESTED BY NEIGHBORHOOD, ON CONSENT (12-0). [A. AZHAR; R. SCHNEIDER-2ND] J. SHIEH-RECUSED. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Planned to be scheduled for November 12, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: No issues were identified for this proposal. 1 of 13B-5 C14-2020-0047 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: NPA A Neighborhood Plan Amendment was filed requesting that the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) be modified from single family to multi-family residence for the subject tract. A Virtual Neighborhood Meeting was webcast on July 9, 2020. (www.speakupaustin.org/npa) Neighborhood Planning supports modifying the FLUM from single family to multi-family. DENSITY The applicant requests multi-family residence (limited density) – neighborhood plan (MF-1-NP) combining zone district to build 13 dwelling units on .74 acres (32,380 sq. ft.). The subject tract is on the north side of Morrow Street about 350 feet west of North Lamar Boulevard and about 700 feet east of Watson Street. The property is currently zoned family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) which allows a single family or duplex unit on a minimum of 5,750 square feet; about 7.6 units to the acre. The platted SF-3 zoned lots along the north side of Morrow Street were each about a half-acre (21,780 sq. ft.) or the equivalent of about 3.8 times the minimum lot size for the SF-3 zone district. Many of the SF-3 lots on Morrow Street and Taulbee Lane (one block north) are developed with two or more dwellings or have been subdivided to the same effect. The subject tracts addressed as 902 and 904 Morrow Street have about 160 feet of Morrow Street frontage and 200 feet of lot depth. The requested MF-1 zoning requires 8,000 square feet for a lot and permits up to 6 units per lot. The proposed development density is for 17 units per acre. The west property line and 1/3rd of the north property line …

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 13, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Planned to be scheduled for November 12, 2020: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract is located on South Congress Avenue, is developed with a mobile food vending court and a self storage facility, and has had general commercial services – mixed use – neighborhood plan (CS-MU-NP) zoning since Council approved the East Congress Neighborhood Plan rezonings in August 2005. There are retail and various commercial services, auto-related uses and apartments along both sides of Congress Avenue in the vicinity (CS-MU-NP; CS-MU-V-NP; CS-MU-CO-NP/MF-6-CO-NP). Please see Exhibits A and A-1 – Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The Applicant proposes to rezone the property and add a vertical mixed use building (–V) combining district to the existing zoning and develop it with up to 280 apartment units and 5,500 square feet of ground floor retail and restaurant uses. The property is designated as Mixed Use on the adopted Future Land Use Map (as is most of South Congress Avenue in the neighborhood planning area), and the Mixed Use designation B-61 of 19 C14-2020-0093 Page 2 is defined as “An area that is appropriate for a mix of residential and non-residential uses.” South Congress Avenue is also designated as a Core Transit Corridor. During the Vertical Mixed Use Overlay (VMU) Opt-in/Opt-out process conducted by the Neighborhood Planning and Zoning Department in 2007-09, an application to designate certain properties as appropriate to add the –V combining district or exclude other properties from the VMU overlay was not filed by the South Congress Combined Planning Contact Team. The addition of –V provides an additional development option to a property and allows it to retain the ability to redevelop under the existing CS base district. A –V does not grant: 1) additional height to the base zoning district which is 60 feet in the CS district or 2) additional impervious cover which is limited to 80 …

Brentwood Neighborhood Association Serving Our Neighborhood from 45th St. to Justin Lane and North Lamar to Burnet Road Planning Commission October 9, 2020 To: From: Brentwood Neighborhood Association Steering Committee Re: We are writing this letter to inform the Planning Commission that our Steering Committee cannot support the environmental variance at this site due to the following reasons: 1512 W. Koenig Lane Environmental Variance 1. Since being re-zoned in 2004 (from SF-3 to LO-MU-NP), the property has been cited by Code Compliance for non-permitted Change of Use (residential to commercial). a. As part of that illegal change of use, gravel was added to the entire backyard to facilitate parking (without the required permits). b. In addition, a number of trees were removed (under “residential” use, although commercial use conversion was underway). Replacement of the removed trees has never been sought by the City to mitigate the loss of our urban forest. (see 2012 and 2018 aerial photos above). 2. Flooding (without current improvements – parking, driveways, etc) exists at this site (see photo at right). This shows the illegal improvements prior to being required to seek official Change of Use permit. It also shows “empty” backyard (except for standing water) where trees were previously. a. Since this project has no required on-site detention, we believe that the vegetative strips (given the increase in impervious cover from original SF use to proposed use in Site Development package) will be insufficient to mitigate downstream flooding in Brentwood (and neighborhoods to our west that flow into Shoal Creek). b. Given the lack of good faith on the part of owners of this property, we are concerned that maintenance of filter beds and other features to remedy environmental impacts will not happen in a way that safely protects adjacent neighbors and properties downstream. 3. Therefore, we are asking you deny this variance unless the following are required: more robust on-site detention, replacement of trees, and rainwater collection. Your help in this matter is appreciated to keep our neighborhood safe, especially due to increased contributing areas to Atlas 14 in this immediate area. Respectfully, Kristine Poland, BNA President

To ensure all CAAs began working toward meeting these standards, the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs requested documentation of approval of the Strategic Plan by the CSBG Advisory Board, in addition to specific Goals, Objectives, Strategy, Outcome and Output Measures included in the Strategic Plan. Austin Public Health’s Community Services Division/Neighborhood Services Unit (NSU) serves as the CSBG Community Action Agency for Travis County. The NSU uses CSBG funding as the primary source of support for the services provided by the Department’s six (6) neighborhood centers, including the Montopolis Community Center, a new permanent site, and three (3) outreach locations. In 2020, NSU also expanded services two to additional satellite locations in the Rundberg neighborhood and far East Austin. Austin Public Health has its own strategic plan. NSU submits a specific strategic plan for the work supported by CSBG through its Neighborhood Centers to meet TDHCA’s expectations. 2020 has been a year to remember due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. The NSU continues to adapt to unpredictable circumstances and the predictable needs of our neighborhood center’s communities. The Community Development Commission continues to serve as the required CSBG Advisory Board. To develop the Strategic Plan for the work supported by CSBG through its Neighborhood Centers, several internal strategic planning sessions were conducted with 35+ employees which identified priorities to be addressed in the next five years. Moving forward, we will continue to work with Department leadership to ensure this Strategic Plan works hand in hand with the basic needs of our community. II. Purpose TDHCA’s Strategic Planning Guide cites several key factors that have served as our purpose for our strategic planning efforts: • To meet CSBG program requirements and CSBG grant purpose to address the reduction of poverty, the revitalization of low- income communities, and empower low-income persons to become self-sufficient • To demonstrate participation of low-income individuals in CAAs activities. • To produce decisions and actions that guide the organization’s program operations • To help prioritize efforts and determine the allocation of resources • To improve effectiveness and efficiency through agreed upon strategies and goals III.
