M E M O R A N D U M Urban Renewal Board Members December 6, 2022 Courtney Banker, Project Coordinator, Housing and Planning Department TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Applying Affordability Unlocked within the Urban Renewal Plan Area This memorandum provides context for process regarding applying Affordability Unlocked within the Urban Renewal Plan area. Background At the November 14, 2022 Urban Renewal Board (URB) meeting, the Austin Economic Development Commission (AEDC) and consulting team presented updated scenarios for redevelopment options regarding blocks 16 and 18. One development scenario contemplates utilizing the Affordability Unlocked Density Bonus (AU) program on these blocks in order to build more affordable housing by allowing (1) increased height and/or (2) decreased parking requirements. Applying Affordability Unlocked within the URP Blocks 16 and 18 are within the Urban Renewal Plan (URP) area and are subject to the URP (originally adopted December 17, 1999 and most recently amended September 15, 2022). URB members asked staff the following questions related to allowing AU within the URP. The questions and answers are below. Question No. 1: Would the URP need to be amended to allow for AU? Answer: Yes - if the URB wants properties to be eligible for AU, then the URP must be amended. Question No. 2: Would the URP need to be expired to allow for AU? Answer: If the URP expires, then the properties will be eligible for AU without any additional action from the URB, Planning Commission, or City Council. Question No. 3: If the URB recommends to council that AU be applied to the URP, would it need to be approved by Planning Commission and then City Council? Answer: Yes. Additional Questions Related to AU, the URP, and NCCDs When the URP, AU, and Neighborhood Conservation Combining Districts (NCCDs) are in question, the controlling requirements are stated below. Page 1 of 2 • When there is conflict between the URP and the applicable land use regulations or the development bonuses offered by AU, the URP controls. If the URP expires and there is a conflict between the NCCD and the development bonuses offered by AU, the development bonuses supersede the NCCD. If the zoning on the subject property allows 40 feet height but the URP only allows 25 feet, the developer may not exceed 25 feet. If the URP limits height to 25 feet but AU allows 31.25 feet, the developer may not exceed …

From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Megan Santee Escobar, Manuel - BC; Pierce, Darrell - BC Banker, Courtney; DeMayo, Mandy; Aleman, Ruben; May, James Proposed language changes for URB meeting invite for videoconference Tuesday, November 29, 2022 6:07:46 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Chairman Escobar and Vice-Chairman Pierce, I have been working with staff on some modifications to the Board’s videoconference meeting wording in order to be more in line with the TOMA provisions which the URB follows. I would like to get your feedback on whether to go ahead and incorporate the changes for the next meeting and/or have it as a discussion item and, if approved, implement any approved language in January 2023. In the past there have been times when either audio or video communication has been lost or disconnected which has affected the ability to see and hear commissioners in attendance remotely. In an attempt to have clear guidance for Staff and commissioners, to know who was considered present and participated in a vote, I am proposing some wording changes. A commissioner’s loss of video or audio communication could be considered an absence and impact the record of their participation in a meeting. The statute provides that a member of a governing body who participates in a meeting remotely shall be counted as present at the meeting for all purposes if the video and audio feed of the member’s participation is broadcast live at the meeting and complies with this section. TGC Sec. 551.127 (a-1). A member who participates in a meeting as provided by (a-1) shall be counted as present at the meeting for all purposes. TGC Sec. 551.127 (a-2). A member shall be considered absent from any portion of the meeting during which audio or video communication with the member is lost or disconnected. TGC Sec. 551.127 (a-3). The meeting location (of the quorum), and each remote location from which a member participates, shall have two-way audio and video communication with each other location during the entire meeting. The face of each participant in the videoconference call, while that participant is speaking, shall be clearly visible and the voice audible, to each other participant and, during the open portion of the meeting, to the members of the public in attendance. TGC Sec. 551.127 (h). The audio and video signals perceptible by members of the public at each location of the meeting must …

Information Sheet CDC Term End Dates per the Bylaws Recently an automated email notice was sent by the Granicus system to all Boards and Commissions members that have a term ending date of February 28, 2023 or sooner. If a member is interested in being reappointed, they should reapply – meaning update their application. While this is generally true, it may not be entirely accurate for all members. Members who have served 8 consecutive years on the same board/commission will not be eligible for reappointment to that same board/commission. They may certainly apply to serve on another board/commission if they wish. Unfortunately, this 8 year limit is not something that Granicus will report, so we must do that manually. Guidelines for terms from the CDC Bylaws: • Appointed members: two consecutive four-year terms • Elected members: Initial two-year term, followed by two consecutive four-year terms If you are eligible for reappointment and interested in serving another term starting next year: • Let your appointing council member (or incoming council member) know • A roster of current council members is attached for your convenience; however, staff will assist in placing a call if needed • Update your application using the same system you used before If you feel your termination date is incorrect, please let staff know and we will contact the Clerk’s office. Please Note: For members who were elected to take over for a resigning commissioner within the last two years, we are awaiting guidance from the clerk’s office on how to calculate your terms. Please stand by and be prepared for the possibility that you may need to go through the election process again in the first quarter of 2023. No action is needed at this time. More specific guidance from the Clerk’s office: Terms for the CDC started in 2019. It breaks down a little more specifically based on who made their appointment. In an ideal situation, the following applies: 1. the seven members appointed by Council had a maximum of two, four-year terms (for a total of eight years ending on 2027) in accordance with Section 2-1-22 (B) and (C), meaning they get a max of eight consecutive years and must wait another two years before they can serve on the CDC again. So, if a member serves through 2027, they cannot serve again until 2029. 2. for the eight democratically-elected members, they had an initial …
