EDUCATIONAL IMPACT STATEMENT Prepared for the City of Austin Austin Independent School District Project Name: Former AISD Brooke ES Redevelopment Address/Location: 3100 E 4th St, Austin, texas Case #:C14-2025-0125 NEW SINGLE FAMILY DEMOLITION OF MULTIFAMILY NEW MULTIFAMILY TAX CREDIT # SF UNITS: STUDENTS PER UNIT ASSUMPTION Elementary School: Middle School: High School: # MF UNITS: 425 STUDENTS PER UNIT ASSUMPTION Elementary School: 0.028 Middle School: 0.013 High School: 0.014 # AFFORDABLE STUDENTS PER UNIT ASSUMPTION Elementary School: Middle School: High School: IMPACT ON SCHOOLS In January 2026, an Educational Impact Statement was submitted for a proposed multifamily residential development located at the site of the formerly closed Brooke Elementary School. The project proposes the construction of 425 new dwelling units. While the project involves the demolition of the closed school facility, there are no currently enrolled students; therefore, no current students will be displaced. Austin ISD Student Yield Factors (SYF) were used to estimate the potential student population for this development. An overall SYF of 0.055 across all grade levels was used to determine the projected number of students. Based on these factors, the project is expected to add about 24 students total. Of these students, approximately 12 students would attend Govalle ES, 6 students would attend Kealing MS, and 6 students would attend Eastside ECHS. Because the number of bedrooms per unit has not yet been specified, the actual number of students may be higher or lower than these estimates. With the addition of the proposed development, all three schools are projected to remain below the district’s recommended utilization range of 80%–95%. Specifically, Govalle ES is expected to reach 84%, Kealing MS (74%), and Eastside ECHS (73%) capacity.

Austin Housing_Community Land Trust | CDC Meeting 6.9.2026 ‹#› Community Land Trust • Community Land Trust Model • Austin Comunity Land Trust ⚬ Program Design (ACLT) ⚬ Preference Policy ⚬ Current Portfolio • Future Development ‹#› Austin Community Land Trust Model What is a Community Land Trust? A Community Land Trust is a unique Home purchase allowing residents to invest in their homes without the overwhelming financial burden. • Best known for permanently affordable housing, though the first CLT (New Communities Inc.) began as a collective farm founded by Black families in Georgia etsablished in 1969 • Land held in trust for community benefit, protected from market pressures. • Flexible structure — CLTs may be created by community groups, nonprofits, coalitions, or government agencies. ‹#› Community Land Trust Model Benefits of Community Land Trusts (CLTs) • Keep housing permanently affordable, allowing lower-income households to stay in neighborhoods where prices are rising. • Preserve public investment by recycling the initial affordability subsidy through resale restrictions, rather than losing it after one buyer. • Provide strong homeowner support, resulting in significantly lower delinquency and foreclosure rates compared to the private market. ‹#› Community Land Trust Model CLTs are one type of shared-equity housing, along with: • Deed-restricted inclusionary housing • Some forms of Down Payment Assistance Do CLT Homeowners Build Assets? Yes. CLTs support asset building for households who would otherwise remain renters. Because CLT homeowners receive support and maintain homeownership longer, they are more likely to realize meaningful equity gains. Research shows CLT owners build enough equity through mortgage paydown, modest appreciation, and lower housing costs to transition into the open market if they choose. ‹#› Administered by the Austin Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC), the ACLT portfolio was doubled in 2020 with the acquisition of 20 former rental homes. The portfolio is on track to more than double again in the next 5 years with the development of two new construction townhome communities by the ACLT. Austin Community Land Trust Model How is Austin Community Land Trust (ACLT) Unique? • Municipal owned and goverened by AHFC • Geographically diverse • ACLT a preference policy to ensure equitable housing and reduce displacement of Austin residents. ‹#› Austin Community Land Trust Model Enabling legislation: Community land trusts were formally authorized in Texas through Senate Bill 402, which created Local Government Code Chapter 373B, effective January 1, 2012.

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Community Development Commission Recommendation Number: [20260609-6]: Preservation of Local Housing Voucher Funding for Permanent Supportive Housing Residents Date of Approval: Recommendation: The Community Development Commission recommends that the Austin City Council prioritize the preservation of local housing vouchers serving Permanent Supportive Housing residents and identify funding solutions to address anticipated funding gaps. Description of Recommendation to Council: • Prioritize the preservation of existing local housing vouchers serving Permanent Supportive Housing residents. • Identify and evaluate funding options to address anticipated funding gaps and maintain housing stability for affected residents. • Consider the impacts on residents, housing providers, and the broader homelessness response system when evaluating future funding decisions related to local housing vouchers. Rationale: Local housing vouchers are a critical component of Austin's homelessness response system and help residents in Permanent Supportive Housing maintain long-term housing stability. Proposed changes in the use of fee-in-lieu funds may create a funding gap that impacts the continued availability of these vouchers. The loss of voucher funding could negatively impact residents, housing providers, and the broader homelessness response system by increasing housing instability and placing additional pressure on already limited homelessness resources. Preserving housing for individuals and families who have exited homelessness protects prior public investments, supports long-term housing stability, and helps prevent returns to homelessness.

TO: Austin Integrated Water Resource Planning Community Task Force FROM: Working Group of Austin Integrated Water Resource Planning Community Task Force (Sarah Baker Faust, Paul DiFiore, Hani Michel, Madelline Mathis) DATE: June 9, 2026 The Working Group presents this memo for the consideration of the full Task Force. We request that the Task Force forward the Recommendations to Austin City Council to address potential demand increases in commercial and industrial use that could affect Austin’s timing and expense in diversifying its potable water supplies. Background The Austin Integrated Water Resource Planning Community Task Force (“Water Forward Task Force” or “WFTF”) recently formed a working group (“Working Group”) to take a closer look at water use in commercial, industrial, and institutional water consumption due to potential changing demand conditions in these user groups.1 The Water Forward water supply planning process operates on a 5-year timeline. The Working Group was tasked with reviewing Water Forward 2024 planning in these categories to determine whether the planning is still in alignment with changing conditions or should be addressed through policy recommendations. We believe the Austin City Council should review and adopt the recommendations in this memo that would address potential demand increases in industrial and commercial water use. Existing and Projected Commercial, Industrial, Institutional Water Use Austin Water has customers using significant volumes of water in the commercial, industrial and institutional categories.2 Large volume including institutional, industrial, and 1 The Working Group was initiated at the April 14, 2026, Water Forward Task Meeting. The Working Group developed research and resources, submitted written questions to and received responses from Austin Water, and met twice to review research, characterize problems, identify gaps in policy, and develop interventions and policy recommendations. 2 See “Large Water User Overview”, Slide 21, Climate, Water, Environment and Parks Committee Meeting Backup: May 18, 2026) https://services.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=473249. In this memo the phrase “high water use’’ or “large water customers” is used rather than “large volume” because Austin Water defines a “large volume customer” specifically as “an existing commercial customer of Austin Water that purchases 85.0 million gallons of water during a fiscal year at a single service address or campus.” In this context commercial includes industrial.

MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council Through: Michael Rogers, Assistant City Manager From: Date: Shay Ralls Roalson, P.E., Austin Water Director May 14, 2026 Subject: Update on Water Supply Projects 2026 The purpose of this memorandum is to provide updates about plans for field testing in Eastern Travis County for Austin Water’s Aquifer Storage and Recovery and Brackish (salty) Groundwater Desalination projects. On the May 28, 2026 City Council agenda, Austin Water will seek City Council approval to authorize an amendment to the contract for engineering services for the Aquifer Storage and Recovery Pilot and Program Management project with HDR Engineering, Inc., in the amount of $15,726,269 for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $21,726,269. Austin Water will provide a briefing about this item to the Climate, Water, Environment and Parks Committee on May 18, 2026. BACKGROUND The item coming before City Council on May 28 for additional contract authorization will allow Austin Water to begin field testing on City-owned land in Eastern Travis County for two key water supply strategies in Austin’s Water Forward Plan and the State Water Plan: Aquifer Storage and Recovery and Brackish Groundwater Desalination. Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) is a proven water supply strategy in which treated drinking water is stored in an underground aquifer when supplies are plentiful and later recovered during droughts, emergencies, or periods of high demand, functioning like a “water savings account.” Storing water underground protects supplies from evaporation, improves reliability in drought, reduces surface impacts, and provides a secure, resilient source for the community. Brackish Groundwater Desalination uses water from an aquifer that has salinity levels in excess of TCEQ guidelines and rules for drinking water. The water would be withdrawn through wells, then treated by advanced treatment processes such as reverse osmosis to reduce the salinity and condition the water to be compatible with Austin’s drinking water. Page 1 of 2 Date: Subject: May 14, 2026 Update on Water Supply Projects 2026 PROJECT LOCATION In 2022, Austin Water began a scientific desktop study to evaluate aquifers in an eight-county area and identify those most suitable for ASR. This analysis identified portions of the Trinity Aquifer in eastern Travis County for field testing due to favorable hydrogeologic characteristics and improved feasibility compared to other locations studied. ASR in the Trinity Aquifer will likely yield less water than initial Water Forward targets, so Austin Water is also proposing …
Water Management Strategy Implementation REPORT First Quarter 2026, January - March May 14, 2026 Contents First Quarter Summary Water Conservation Updates Water Loss Reduction Updates Reclaimed Water and Onsite Reuse Updates Conservation Outreach Updates Water Supply Project Updates Water Use and GPCD Notes Regarding Data 2 Fourth Quarter Summary The Water Management Strategy Implementation Report is intended to provide transparency and accountability regarding the execution of strategies from the 2024 Water Conservation Plan and the 2024 Water Forward Plan. The plans include proactive and substantial demand management strategies and innovative local supply strategies, but the hard work necessary to complete the strategies and meet the goals are illustrated in the implementation reports. Austin’s first quarter water use was similar to previous years. Water loss mitigation activities and the development of the reclaimed system continued. While water conservation rebates are generally modest during the first three months of the year, the utility was putting down roots through: Customer outreach, Community events, Pilots of water loss-mitigation equipment, and Progressing with reclaimed water system projects. 3 Water Conservation Updates New water conservation community outreach grant (up to $3,000) was awarded to 5 organizations Shoal Creek Conservancy, 2026 Waterwise Landscapes Tour, March 21 Spring community events focusing on landscaping Landscape transformation limit on irrigation systems for new homes will be clarified as a Rule in late 2026 4 Water Conservation Metrics Residential Rebate Programs Approved Rebates 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 Drought Survival Tools Irrigation Upgrades Rainwater Harvesting Rebates WaterWise Landscape WaterWise Rainscape Other Residential Programs Q1 2025-Q4 2025 Q1 2026 5 Water Conservation Metrics Commercial Rebate Programs 5 4 3 2 1 0 Approved Rebates 4 4 3 1 1 Bucks for Business Q1 2025-Q4 2025 Q1 2026 6 Water Conservation Metrics Compliance Assessments Number of Compliant Commercial Facilities Number of Compliant Commercial Facilities 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 500 0 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 Landscape Irrigation Assessment Cooling Tower Assessment Vehicle Wash Assessment Q1 2025-Q4 2025 Q1 2026 Q1 2025-Q4 2025 Q1 2026 7 Water Conservation Strategy Milestones (Water Conservation Plan, p. 35-36, Water Forward Plan, p. 34, 36) 2026 Milestones Commercial Incentives Progress Identify opportunities for CII facility owners/managers to benefit from the My ATX Water alerts and information.

Large Water Working Group Water Forward Task Force June 9, 2026 Working Group Process ● Developed research document with source information. ● Meeting 1 reviewed research, drafted questions for Austin Water, discussion centered around identifying issues and problem characterization. ● Submitted questions to Austin Water. ● Reviewed responses to questions and developed additional research. ● Meeting 2 reviewed responses, discussion centered on identifying policy gaps and developing interventions/recommendations. ● Finalized memo and recommendations over email. Large User Demand ● Commercial, industrial, and institutional users together account for about one-quarter of total water use. ● Austin's five largest retail customers used about 13,900 acre-feet in 2025 (4.5 billion gallons). This is about 29% of projected 2030 commercial baseline demand (47,600 acre-feet)(before conservation and reuse). Total Austin Water baseline 2030 demand is a little over 150,000 acre-feet. (2025 water use approximately 144,000 acre-feet/47 billion gallons) ● Large users do not forecast water demand for Austin Water. Future water demand is projected through disaggregated demand model, and water benchmarking if available. ● Additional large users can materially change supply timing, costs, and conservation outcomes. Planning Pressure Points ● Growth in semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, and AI data centers may outpace historic forecasts of water use. ● Disaggregated demand models for commercial sector relies heavily on historic employee, demographic, and billing patterns. ● Square footage and employee counts may not be predictive of water use for high tech industries and new data centers that can have high water use per square foot and/or fewer employees than traditional commercial sector use. ● City is developing a new economic development plan to recruit new businesses through tax rebates, with high water use industries expected to be part of recruitment program. ● No public review of service extension requests in the desired development zone. Opportunities to continue to innovate and catalyze non- potable water use ● Shifting as much use as possible to non-potable protects potable supplies. ● Austin's reclaimed system serves 226 meters, including 4 added in 2025 and averaged 455 million gallons reclaimed water used in 2025. System expansion is constrained by cost and construction process in existing urban areas but could be energized with stronger mandates to connect and aligning system growth with new business recruitment. ● Cooling towers remain a major opportunity because current reuse requirements are effective but could be expanded. ● Expanding reclaimed and onsite reuse requirements can protect potable supplies as …

C15-2026-0021 / 2101 Arpdale St George Siddall June 8, 2026 BOA Meeting ITEM03/1-PRESENTATION A corner lot requires a 15’ setback and is not allowed sufficient room to cover a driveway on a side street. • Most properties require only a 5’ side setback allowing room for covered parking. • The narrow width of the lot leaves no room for additional covered parking, and the existing driveway is in the only available place. ITEM03/2-PRESENTATION The two awning posts are setback 10’ with a flat 9’ cover. ITEM03/3-PRESENTATION The awning does not change the character of the area, allows for open space and visibility, and is not near neighboring property lines. ITEM03/4-PRESENTATION In contrast, setback for fencing is only 10’. A fence has posts and can be a solid barrier up to 8’ tall. Solid fences on a corner change the openness of an area and block visibility. ITEM03/5-PRESENTATION The awning provides protection from sun damage, hail damage or other related weather damage, and keeps the acidic droppings from the pecan tree off vehicles as demonstrated in the image below.
