RESOLUTION NO. 20070308-010 WHEREAS, the Council directed the City Manager to develop a program for the administration of voter approved general obligation bond funds for the creation and retention of affordable housing (GO Housing Bonds); and WHEREAS, the City Manager recommended that the administration of the GO Housing Bonds include reviewing proposed GO Housing Bond programs under the City's current annual Action Plan and Chapter 373 Community Development Program planning process of hearings and public review and comment to create a strategic plan to set long-term goals and priorities for the use of GO Housing Bonds, as well as an annual plan to set specific targets toward meeting these long-term goals; and WHEREAS, the City Manager also recommended an application and funding process that includes (1) implementing an open funding cycle to receive and fund project proposals, (2) establishing a housing bond review committee composed of two representatives of the Community Development Commission and three representatives from the community who have demonstrated experience in housing development and finance to review staff recommendations on applications for funding, and (3) posting monthly to the Neighborhood Housing and Community Development/Austin Housing Finance Corporation website a list of project applicants, project summary information, the amount of funding requested and the status of each application; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That the administration of the GO Housing Bonds include reviewing proposed GO Housing Bond programs under the City's current annual Action Plan and Chapter 373 Community Development Program planning process to create a strategic plan to set long-term goals and priorities for the use of GO Housing Bonds, as well as an annual plan to set specific targets toward meeting these long-term goals.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20211214-03B Date: December 14, 2021 Subject: Commitment to meeting the 20% affordable housing goal in the South Central Waterfront Vision Seconded By: Commissioner Thompson Motioned By: Commissioner Tolliver Recommendation: WHEREAS, the South Central Waterfront Vision calls for state-of-the-art development, a place where people want to be round-the-clock, a vibrant mix of open space, shops, superb transit connections and green drainage to capture all storm water onsite and recycle that water into a lush canopy of earth-cooling shade trees; and WHEREAS, by including a goal that 20% of housing in the waterfront district be affordable, the South Central Waterfront Vision departs from government planning processes of the past which systematically excluded and barred people of color; and WHEREAS, the impact of yesterday’s government-sanctioned segregation lingers with us today resulting in people of color having lower incomes and higher housing instability; and WHEREAS, the Civil Rights Act of 1968 established for cities the duty to affirmatively further fair housing, requiring cities not to passively wait for housing choices to present themselves but to affirmatively further choice and inclusion in prime redevelopment such as in the Waterfront; and WHEREAS, the draft regulating plan for the Waterfront District allows fee in lieu of providing affordable units and does not set out a specific path for reaching the 20% affordable housing goal even though real estate development requires extensive advance planning; and WHEREAS, in the absence of a specific plan, there could be an avalanche of PUD applications with the Statesman PUD application (which offers only 4% of its units as affordable) being the harbinger of such a possible avalanche; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Austin Community Development Commission recommends to the City Council that: 1. The Waterfront District regulating plan specifically reserve enough district TIRZ funds to fill gaps in the development of housing units to meet the 20% affordable housing goal; 2. The regulating plan include a vehicle for active acquisition of land in the district where housing meeting the 20% affordable housing goal can be developed; 1 of 2 3. Avoid accepting fees in lieu of providing housing and emphasize including actual units that meet the 20% affordable housing goal; 4. Where an affordable housing overlay exists within the district, the incentives of that overlay be applied first so that half of the affordable housing goal is met under the incentives provided in the existing …

May 25, 2021 Prepared for Scoring Criteria Working Group by City Staff The following is taken from the appendix of the “East 11th and 12th Street Development Strategy” technical report prepared for the City in 2012. Engagement for this report consisted of multiple public meetings, an online survey and stakeholder interviews. Below are items from Appendix E: Public Engagement Summary that relate to the use of Block 16 and 18 on East 11th Street. However, the appendix has a good overview of the engagement and major takeaways that should be reviewed for context. Public Meeting #1 Survey: “Respondents tend to live near 11th Street and go to businesses on 11th Street, which is consistent with development and services offered in the respective corridors.” From summary of comments: Stakeholder Interviews • Dispose of City Land. Most of the city-owned land was purchased with Federal money and comes with many restrictions for development including land use and financing limitations. The City did not develop it within a timely manner, and residents do not trust the City to develop the properties in the ways they want. There was mention of a mismanagement of funds. Others felt the City spent too much on projects for 11th Street and now there is no funding projects on 12th Street. • A rental or rent-to-own component could be successful in the neighborhood. An affordable housing developer said he has a waiting list, a for-profit developer said the rental-market is strong now, and another developer believed that rent-to-own development would allow young professionals to get emotionally invested in the area before being financially capable of owning their own home. • Those active in the community want to be sensitive to gentrification and displacement. Some residents wanted to explore property tax relief for those who have lived in the community for years as part of the development strategy. • Those who have lived the community for years want development to preserve and promote the local businesses. The leaders of African American heritage organizations want to preserve the history of the neighborhood while adapting to the current needs of the broader community. • Most stakeholders identified a need for healthy eating options like a grocery store and health- conscious restaurants. • A few stakeholders want to see more services provided for the poor and needy in the community. They want to see the crime problems addressed instead of simply moved …
