To: From: Date: Subject: MEMORANDUM Environmental Commission, Resource Management Commission, and Water and Wastewater Commission Shay Ralls Roalson, P.E., Austin Water Director May 28, 2026 Board and Commission Review of Capital Improvement Projects in the Drinking Water Protection Zone The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a report of Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) located within the City’s Drinking Water Protection Zone (DWPZ), in accordance with Austin Water’s Financial Policy No. 8. The DWPZ designation and the associated financial policy, adopted by City Council, are included in the Appendix and outline the requirements for identifying, reviewing, and obtaining Board and Commission input on capital projects within western Austin and Travis County. The DWPZ is subject to development regulations to protect water quality and contains critical water resources that support both the environment and the community. Together, these policies establish the process through which capital projects in the DWPZ are submitted as part of the annual budget process as part of Austin Water’s comprehensive five-year capital improvement plan. The Fiscal Year 27–31 CIP includes projects located throughout the Austin metropolitan area, including the DWPZ. These projects are essential improvements to maintain and enhance Austin Water’s services and operational standards. Austin Water has a robust and comprehensive asset management and capital planning program, in which condition, capacity, and level of service are reviewed annually to validate these investments in resiliency, preparedness, and proactive infrastructure management. The CIP projects in the DWPZ are shown in the attached CIP Subproject Supplemental Information Summary and Map. Should you have any questions, please contact Randi Jenkins, Deputy Director of Technical Services of Austin Water at randi.jenkins@austintexas.gov or 512-972-0133.

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL LIBRARY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Recommendation Number: 20260623-04: Book Safe Harbor Date of Approval: June 29, 2026 Recommendation: Designate the City of Austin as a Book Safe Harbor. Description of Recommendation to Council: Requesting that the Austin City Council adopt a resolution that designates the City of Austin as a Book Safe Harbor rea(cid:431)irming and expanding the previously adopted Freedom to Read Resolution (Resolution Number 20220901-086). Rationale: Background Across the country and in the State of Texas, libraries are confronting aggressive challenges to materials in their collections. School libraries have been the primary target of these incidents.1 While public libraries are a lesser target, these challenges are occurring there, too.2 3 Since 2021, the State of Texas has passed several bills to restrict public access to books.4 5 Challenges and complaints often cite explicit content, issues around race, gender identity and sexuality, and sex education.6 We continue to believe it is a core mission of the public library to provide quality information from diverse viewpoints, especially on these kinds of topics. We also continue to believe that book bans and these undue challenges are attacks on open access and free inquiry, which are essential to our democracy. 7 On April 18, 2022, the City of Austin Library Commission sent a recommendation to City Council to support and protect the "Freedom to Read" as a result of the numerous challenges to the access of literature and library materials 8, resulting in Resolution 20220901-086.9 With sustained e(cid:431)orts at local, state, and national levels to ban access to literature and educational material, the nationwide Book Safe Harbor movement (also known as the Book Sanctuary movement) has emerged to protect access to information and literature. A book safe harbor provides unwavering support and protection for the freedom to read.10 Becoming a book safe harbor means a city is dedicated to protecting books and resources (physical or digital) that are endangered, challenged, or banned. This movement has championed the right to read all books, without censorship or limitation to access. Successful designations in the State of Texas include the Harris County Library System. 11 12 The "Freedom to Read" is a constitutional right13 that should continue to be protected and reinforced by the City's status as a Book Safe Harbor should undue challenges arise at the Austin Public Library. This designation aligns with the public, as 71% of Americans oppose book bans.14 All patrons …

Human Rights Human Rights Human Rights Impact Review Austin Equity and Inclusion What is a Human Rights Framework? A human rights framework evaluates government performance through the lens of residents’ rights, dignity, and equitable access to services. Rather than asking whether programs exist, it asks whether people's rights are being fulfilled and where barriers remain. Why is it necessary and how does it support the City? Policies and services can exist without reaching those who need them most. A human rights framework helps identify gaps, improve accountability, and ensure that city decisions advance dignity, equity, and access for all residents. 2 Co-Created Impact Review The City engaged Henekom Group, a human rights consulting firm, to conduct an independent Human Rights Impact Review. The review included research across 160+ sources, engagement with more than 300 stakeholders, and a community workshop with 120 participants to identify and prioritize human rights risks and opportunities across 12 key issue areas. The resulting recommendations were co-created, reflecting community input and best practice from international human rights standards. 3 City of Austin - Human Rights Framework "Design and implement a Human Rights framework for assessing existing City services and programs to improve accessibility and responsiveness for residents' needs." 160+ 300+ 120 Sources and commissions reviewed Stakeholders identified and engaged Registered workshop attendees 92 Issues identified 69 Proposed mitigations for salience 4 Steps to Conduct a Human Rights Impact Review Issue Identification → Mitigation Identification → Stakeholder Engagement → Implementation 1 2 3 4 5 6 Desk Research Dec 2025-Jan 2026: 12 issue areas, 160+ sources Issue & Mitigation Identification Defined salient human rights issues and potential mitigations Stakeholder Mapping Built 300+ stakeholder list with community and City Council recommendations Landscape Assessment Reviewed existing programs, initiatives, ordinances, and laws informed by community and City Council Activity Set-Up Designed with pre-identified issues and mitigations, with blank tabs available for write-ins Facilitator Training Trained facilitators with landscape insights to avoid duplicating existing mitigations 7 Human Rights Workshop - Building Consensus Multi-stakeholder dialogue at March 23 workshop, approximately 120 attendees 8 9 10 11 12 HeneKom’s Activity Analysis Scored and identified salient issues and mitigations for priority action Post Workshop Survey Sent to all registered stakeholders unable to attend Human Rights Post Workshop Mitigations Report Developed feasible municipal strategies based on knowledge-based best practices research City of Austin - Cross-Functional Integration Mapped mitigations across City departments City of Austin - …

It is located along the west side of Nuckols Crossing Road near the bend where it transitions into East St. Elmo Road. The St. Elmo tributary of Williamson Creek runs in close proximity to the western property boundary line and extends across the northern portion of the property. Additionally, portions of the northern area of the property are also located within the floodplain, limiting the overall developable area on the site. As a result, approximately 1.7 acres are located outside of the flood plain and creek buffer areas; however, only approximately 1 acre is proposed for future development while the remainder of the property is proposed to remain undeveloped. To the north are single family residences on large lots and undeveloped land across East St. Elmo Road (SF-2-CO-NP; LI-CO-NP); to the south are multifamily residences (MF-4-CO- NP; MF-3-CO-NP; MF-2-CO-NP); there are also single family residences on large lots, undeveloped tracts and multifamily residences to the west …

AGENT: Dubois Bryant & Campbell, LLP (David Hartman) PROPERTY OWNER: La Familia Partnership LTD, a Texas limited partnership CASE MANAGER: Cynthia Hadri 512-974-7620, Cynthia.hadri@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The staff recommendation is to grant neighborhood commercial - neighborhood conservation – equitable transit-oriented development – density bonus equitable transit-oriented development – neighborhood plan (LR-NCCD-ETOD-DBETOD-NP) combined district zoning. The applicant is not seeking a modification request for the pedestrian-oriented commercial space as they are not utilizing the Density Bonus Program. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 23, 2026: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 05 C14-2026-0020 - 3701 Speedway, 3703 Speedway and 104 East 37th Street Rezoning; District 91 of 18 C14-2026-0020 ISSUES: 2 On March 9, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 20230309-016 accepting the Equitable Transit-Oriented Development Policy Plan and directing the City Manager regarding next steps for implementation of items intended to benefit the Project Connect Phase 1 Austin Light Rail project. This included development of code amendments to support transit in May of 2024 (Ordinance No. 20240516-005), including creation of the ETOD combining district (restrictions on non-transit supportive uses) and the DBETOD combining district (allowing residential use, and relaxing some development standards including increased height in exchange for income-restricted housing). Properties within one half-mile of the Phase 1 Austin Light Rail alignment and Priority Extensions were included within this overlay, and certain properties were rezoned through a City-initiated process to include the ETOD and DBETOD combining districts. Further, properties rezoned with DBETOD combining district were categorized into Subdistrict 1 (maximum allowable height of 120 feet) or Subdistrict 2 (maximum allowable height of 90 feet), generally based on property distance of ¼-mile or ½-mile from the Phase 1 alignment, respectively. However, that rezoning process did not modify any base district zoning or any combining district zoning, which is the subject of this request. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is approximately 0.27 acres, currently zoned limited office - neighborhood conservation - equitable transit-oriented development – density bonus equitable transit-oriented development – neighborhood plan (LO-NCDD-ETOD-DBETOD- NP) combined district zoning and developed with three bungalows. There is access to East 37th Street, an ASMP Level 1 and Speedway, and ASMP level 2. …

Wonsley Drive ZONING FROM: MF-2-NP TO: LR-MU-CO-NP SITE AREA: 1.078 acres PROPERTY OWNER: NUSY REAL ESTATE GROUP LLC (Rahemtu Maknojia) APPLICANT/AGENT: Sohil Maknojia CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends LR-MU-CO-NP, Neighborhood Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit the Service Station use. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 9, 2026: Approved neighborhood postponement request to June 23, 2026 by consent (11-0, A. Woods-absent); F. Maxwell-1st, B. Bedrosian-2nd. June 23, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 06 C14-2026-0014 - Wonsley Grocery & Kitchen; District 41 of 15 C14-2026-0014 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a 1.078 acre vacant lot that is located at the southeast corner of E. Wonsley Drive and Gessner Drive. The lots to the north, across E. Wonsley Drive, are developed with single-family residences zoned SF-3-NP. To the south there is a multifamily use along Gessner Drive and a restaurant and a cocktail lounge, fronting the Anderson Lane/U.S. Highway 183 Service Road West Bound zoned GR-NP and CS-1-CO-NP respectively. There are multifamily developments to the east and west zoned MF-3-NP. In this request, the applicant is asking for LR-MU-CO-NP zoning to develop a neighborhood market (please see Applicant’s Request Letter – Exhibit C). The site under consideration is located within the North Lamar Combined Neighborhood Planning (Georgian Acres) area. The Future Land Use Map designates this tract as Mixed Use. Therefore, a Neighborhood Plan Amendment is not required. The staff recommends Neighborhood Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay - Neighborhood Plan Combining District zoning. The site under consideration meets the intent of the ‘LR’ base district as it will allow for limited office and commercial uses to provide services for the adjacent residential developments. The proposed zoning is compatible with the higher density residential and commercial zoning patterns to the south, east and west. The property fronts and takes access to a Wonsley Drive, a level 2/collector roadway, and it is located near a public transit stop on Georgian Drive to the west. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Neighborhood Commercial district is intended for neighborhood shopping facilities which provide limited business service and office facilities predominately for the convenience of …
