Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution TRAFFIC & SAFETY Group: Gary, Thomas, Charles, Jeff, Kerri, Mike, Chuck, Ann SUBJECT: Postponement Request – Case C14-2025-0089 – Traffic Concerns Dear Zoning and Platting Commission, My name is Kelley Edwards and I live at 1904 Trevino Drive, Austin TX 78746, near the property proposed for rezoning under Case C14-2025-0089. I am requesting that the February 17 hearing be postponed until May 19th to obtain accurate traffic information. The numbers in the application do not seem to be correct. This project would add 475 apartments to Lost Creek Boulevard, which already handles 8,000–10,000 car trips per day through a single left-turn lane at Loop 360. A fatality occurred at this intersection this past year. The application says no Traffic Impact Analysis is needed – for a project that would increase traffic by 30–40%. That is not acceptable. The application also ignores the Marshall development (48 homes), the Stratus development (600+ homes and apartments), and the TxDOT Loop 360 project – all happening in the same area. Our neighborhood has limited roads in and out, which is also a serious wildfire evacuation concern. Every Monday-Friday, 7:30am - 9:30am and 3:30pm - 6:30pm, the traffic light at Lost Creek Blvd. and 360 is already grossly over congested with day to day commuter traffic. Add in the current construction of the 48 new homes being built, or an event (lockdown, performances, football games) at Forest Trail Elementary School/Westlake High School and you can't get out of Lost Creek. Please postpone this hearing until a Traffic Impact Analysis is completed. Our community deserves that basic safety review.

ZONING & PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 21, 2026: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of approximately 445 acres in southeast Austin, generally located east of South Pleasant Valley Road and between East Stassney Lane to the north and East William Cannon Drive to the south. The property is currently developed with the Jimmy Clay Golf Course and Roy Kizer Golf Course, a City-owned municipal golf course complex. It is currently zoned family residence (SF-3) district zoning and development reserve (DR) district zoning. 03 C14-2026-0032 - City-Initiated Rezoning of Jimmy Clay Golf Course and Roy Kizer Golf Course; District 21 of 10 C14-2026-0032 Page 2 The surrounding area is primarily characterized by parkland, greenbelts and creeks. Land uses include single family and multifamily residences to the west and south (SF-2; SF-2-NP; SF-3-NP; MF-3); a soccer complex and a recreation center to the west and south (P; P-NP); and McKinney Falls State Park, including the Onion Creek trail system, is to the east (DR). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The City of Austin has initiated this rezoning as a result of City Council direction provided in Resolution No. 20260312-027, approved on March 12, 2026. The Jimmy Clay Golf Course, which consisted of 206 acres, was opened by Austin Parks and Recreation (APR) in 1974. In 1994, APR expanded the municipal golf course complex by adding the adjacent 239-acre Roy Kizer Golf Course. The existing zoning designations do not reflect the property’s current park and recreation services use; therefore, rezoning has been initiated to align the zoning with the existing use of the City-owned golf course property. The proposed rezoning would establish a zoning district that better corresponds to the existing park and recreation services use and apply a base zoning district that would more accurately reflect the property’s long-standing use as a City-owned municipal golf course. Staff is recommending the proposed Public …

It was annexed into the full purpose City limits in 1986. 04 C14-2026-0044 - City-Initiated Rezoning of 5807 Ross Road (Del Valle Food Co-op); District 21 of 10 C14-2026-0044 Page 2 The subject property will have one access point to Ross Road, which is identified as an ASMP Level 3 roadway. The property does not have access to Angel Drive, a cul-de-sac that terminates just north of the site, or to Sky Harbor Drive to the south. Single family residences within the Los Cielos subdivision surround the property to the north, east, and south (SF-4A; I-SF-4A). Low-density residential and undeveloped land within Austin’s two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) are located across Ross Road to the west (County). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The City of Austin has initiated this rezoning in response to City Council direction provided in Resolution No. 20260423-038, approved on April 23, 2026. The resolution recognizes prior City investment and community engagement efforts that supported the establishment of the Del Valle Food Cooperative, a community-owned food retail initiative intended to provide equitable access to fresh, affordable, and nutritious foods in the Del Valle community. The Del Valle Food Cooperative has leased the property at 5807 Ross Road; however, the property’s current townhouse and condominium residence (SF-6) district zoning does not allow food sales use.

QUEER MMA AUSTIN PRESENTS QUEER FIGHT NIGHT ATX Spring 2027 • A community martial arts event for LGBTQIA+ Austin Who we are Founded in August of 2025, Queer MMA is a free, volunteer-run monthly martial arts program for Austin's LGBTQ+ community, hosted at Black Widow MMA — one of the state's most recognized LGBTQ-friendly gyms. Open to everyone All skill levels welcome. Participants range from beginner to advanced. Real instruction Rotating monthly technique focus - Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, & Muay Thai More than a class Partnerships with community orgs like Trans Education Network of Texas, allgo, Kind Clinic, Queer Black Women Alliance, and Autonomy Austin who provides resources on trans healthcare access in Texas. FREE every month, no cost barrier 100% volunteer-run coaching 321 unique registrations since Aug 2025 10-40 participants per session August 2025 October 2025 Why this matters Safety & self-defense Traditional martial arts spaces are often unwelcoming — or unsafe — for queer and trans people. Dedicated spaces remove that barrier at a time when our community faces rising hostility. Physical, mental, & emotional health Martial arts builds fitness, confidence, and body autonomy. For trans participants especially, feeling at home in your own body is powerful and rare. Community connection Training together builds deep trust. Queer MMA has become a monthly gathering point. Participants travel as far as Round Rock, San Antonio, College Station, and the Dominican Republic to attend our classes — a fight night scales that connection nationwide. Human Impact From 12 testimonials submitted by Queer MMA participants in July 2026 Respondents were 67% BIPOC and 58% low-income “ As a transgender woman I did not feel like I could ever go train at a gym without the sport being taken away from me because of prejudice. Spaces and opportunities like this are very important to me and other queer people alike — especially here in Texas. – Alessia “ I could just show up, train, and have fun without worrying about being judged for being gay. I could focus on learning martial arts instead of wondering if I needed to hide parts of myself or whether someone would treat me differently because of who I am.

ELECTRIC UTILITY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20260720-011 Date: July 20, 2026 Subject: Recommendations on AE Budget and Potential Rate Increases Motioned By: Vice Chair Al Braden Seconded By: Chair Dave Tuttle Recommendation Recommendation to require a separate public meeting on any rate increase proposed for FY 2027 and to initiate a rate case process with FY 2026 as the test year. Description of Recommendation to Council The Electric Utility Commission recommends that a separate public meeting to receive input should be required for any proposed residential rate increase. In addition, the Electric Utility Commission recommends that the City should begin a new rate case process in 2027, similar to the process implemented in 2016 and 2022. In terms of any rate increase that is part of the FY 2027 budget process, a separate public meeting, at a set time in the evening, should take place before consideration of any proposed change in electric rates or tariffs. In terms of a rate case, Austin City Council should begin the public portion of Austin Energy’s rate case process in 2027 to better keep Austin Energy budgets aligned with costs, while ensuring that rates are justified for all customer classes and that rate design aligns with established policy priorities. In preparation, the Austin City Council should ensure that Austin Energy conducts an assessment of its costs and revenues, using 2026 as a test case year. The City Council should direct the City Manager to initiate the process of hiring a consumer advocate to represent residential customers in the rate case and should initiate the hiring of an independent hearing examiner to preside over the rate case in 2027, with the goal of approving new rates in 2027 that are fair for all customers. Rationale: Austin Energy has an important mission to serve its customers with affordable, clean and reliable energy. The FY 2027 budget and tariffs should maintain the affordable rates approved by City Council in late 2022 and preserve the basic tenets and structure of the rate design approved. The appropriate amount for the monthly Customer Charge – not paid by CAP customers - for residential 1 of 3 customers and the price differentiation between the residential rate tires were hotly contested issues in the last Austin Energy rate case, in 2022. Austin Energy proposed increasing the residential Customer Charge – not paid by CAP customers - from $10 per month to $25 per …

Posting Language ..Title Authorize negotiation and execution of all documents and instruments necessary or desirable to convey an approximately 0.55-acre (23,958 square feet) Electric Line Easement and Right of Way located at the Salem Walk Substation at the end of Salem Hill Drive, Austin, Texas 78745, to the LCRA Transmission Services Corporation, a not-for-profit company of the Lower Colorado River Authority for no cost in exchange for the release of the original approximately 0.646 acre (28,160 square feet) Electric Line Easement and Right of Way at the same location. Fiscal Note: This item has no fiscal impact. ..De Lead Department Austin Financial Services. Fiscal Note This item has no fiscal impact. For More Information: Brandon Williamson, Austin Financial Services, 512-974-5666; Michael Gates, Austin Financial Services, 512- 974-5639; Amy Everhart, Austin Energy, Director, Local Government Issues, 512-322-6087; David Tomczyszyn, Austin Energy, VP Electric Systems Engineering and Technical Services, 512-322-6821. Council Committee, Boards, and Commission Action: July 20, 2026 - To be reviewed by the Electric Utility Commission. Additional Backup Information: Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) is releasing the original Electric Line Easement and Right of Way through Austin Energy’s Salem Walk Substation and in exchange for a new Electric Line Easement and Right of Way from the City, bypassing Austin Energy’s substation. This is the result of a series of Austin Energy projects mitigating the risk of another utility’s static and/or conductor wire falling into the substation equipment in the event of a wire failure. LCRA rerouted their transmission line around the perimeter of the Austin Energy substation at Salem Walk to assist with the effort. The original easement measured approximately 0.646 acres (28,160 square feet), and the new replacement easement measures approximately 0.55 acres (23,958 square feet), a difference of approximately 0.096 acres (4,202 square feet), resulting in a smaller replacement easement. LCRA is incurring the costs associated with the relocation of the easement and infrastructure to make this exercise cost neutral to the City. Item 6
Posting Language ..Title Authorize negotiation and execution of a battery storage agreement with Balcones Ridge Resiliency II, LLC, a Jupiter Power subsidiary, for up to 200 megawatts of electrical power capacity from a utility-scale battery facility, in an estimated amount not to exceed $16,000,000 per year, for a term of up to 20 years, for a total agreement amount not to exceed $320,000,000. Funding: Contingent upon available funding in future budgets. ..De Lead Department Austin Energy Fiscal Note Funding is contingent upon budgetary approval in future budgets. Similar to power purchase agreements, battery storage agreement costs are recovered through the Power Supply Adjustment pass-through charge. For More Information: Amy Everhart, Director, Local Government Issues (512) 322-6087; Pat Sweeney, Interim Vice-President, Market Operations & Resource Planning (512) 322-6183. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: July 20, 2026 - To be reviewed by the Electric Utility Commission. Additional Backup Information: In November 2025, Austin Energy issued an All-Resource Request for Proposals (RFP) for local energy resources of all technology types. Out of this RFP process, Austin Energy (AE) received authorization from Council on May 21, 2026, to negotiate and execute a battery storage agreement with OCI Energy, LLC for up to 100 megawatts (MW) of electrical power capacity from a utility-scale battery facility, with operation slated for 2030. However, following this authorization, AE and OCI Energy, LLC were unable to come to agreement on commercial terms. Jupiter Power, with whom AE already has a Council-approved tolling agreement for 100 MW of battery capacity, also participated in the All-Resource RFP. Jupiter Power included proposals for additional battery storage at its Austin site that is under development. AE’s original evaluation favored OCI Energy’s project because it provided geographic diversity. However, since the OCI Energy project is no longer viable, AE recommends moving forward with Jupiter Power’s project instead. The recommended 200 MW, two-hour battery agreement is larger than the one it will replace, and offers comparable economic benefits that will help protect and mitigate local wholesale load price risk when it begins commercial operation in 2030. The agreement will not require AE to invest in the construction or maintenance of the project. This agreement will bring AE’s battery storage portfolio capacity to 340 MW, exceeding the Resource, Generation and Climate Protection Plan’s objective of studying the feasibility of installing 300 MW of battery storage by the end of 2030.
