ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2025-0048 – West Mockingbird Lane DISTRICT: 3 ADDRESS: 205 and 207 West Mockingbird Lane ZONING FROM: SF-4A-NP TO: SF-3-NP SITE AREA: 0.7676 acres (33,436.66 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: Capital River Group, LLC-Series 26 (Stuart Carr) AGENT: Capital River Group, LLC-Series 26 (Stuart Carr) CASE MANAGER: Nancy Estrada (512-974-7617, nancy.estrada@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) combining district zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 22, 2025: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is approximately 0.77 acres and is located at the intersection of West Mockingbird Lane and Blue Bird Lane, just west of South Congress Avenue. The site consists of two lots that are currently zoned single family residence – small lot – neighborhood plan (SF-4A-NP) combining district zoning. Both lots are developed with a single family residence, with the larger lot also including an accessory storage shed. The subject area is surrounded by single family residences and is near the South Congress Activity Corridor. West Stassney Lane, an Imagine Austin Corridor, is also less than a 16 C14-2025-0048 - West Mockingbird Lane; District 31 of 9 C14-2025-0048 Page 2 quarter of a mile south from the property. There are single family residences and duplexes to the north (SF-2-NP; SF-3-NP), condominiums to the east (SF-3-NP; SF-6-NP), and single family residences to the south and west (SF-2-NP; SF-3-NP; SF-4A-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial). The applicant is requesting family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) combining district zoning since the new HOME amendments will permit a three-unit residential use in the (SF-3) zoning district. Currently, single family residence – small lot – neighborhood plan (SF-4A-NP) combining district zoning prohibits a three-unit residential use. Staff is recommending (SF-3-NP) combining district zoning because (SF-3) is compatible with the existing mix of residential zoning and housing types in the neighborhood. This designation meets the district’s intent by providing additional housing opportunities on these lots. Under the HOME amendments, up to three dwelling units are permitted in SF-1, SF-2, and SF-3 zoning districts, further supporting the goal of increasing housing variety. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The family residence (SF-3) district zoning is the designation for a moderate density single-family residential use and a …

Pleasant Valley Road) DISTRICT: 3 ADDRESS: 301 and 305 North Pleasant Valley Road ZONING FROM: MF-2-NP TO: SF-3-NP SITE AREA: approximately .1452 acres (approximately 6,325 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: 301 N Pleasant Valley, LLC AGENT: Site ATX (Jennifer Hanlen) CASE MANAGER: Jonathan Tomko (512) 974-1057, jonathan.tomko@austintexas.gov STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends granting family residence-neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) combining district zoning. See the basis of recommendation section below for more information. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 22, 2025: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: The applicant is bringing forth a non-compliant lot as it does not meet the minimum lot size of 8,000 square feet for multi-family residence – low density (MF-2) zoning. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject tract currently contains one small single-family home on a non-compliant lot. The applicant is requesting a downzoning to increase the number of dwelling units on the site. While the subject tract is surrounded on three sides by more intense zoning categories there has been historically an effort to retain this single-family nature of this pocket neighborhood roughly bounded by Pedernales Street to the west, East 4th Street to the north, Tillery Street to the east and East 2nd Street to the South. This is demonstrated by at least two cases listed in the area case histories section below. Density appears to be concentrated along East Cesar Chavez an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor, and the periphery of the Plaza Saltillo Imagine Austin Activity Center, approximately 1,000 feet northwest of the subject tract. While North Pleasant Valley Road is also an Imagine Austin Corridor, the west side of the street is predominantly zoned SF-3 and consistent with the applicant’s request we have before us. 17 C14-2025-0062 - 301 North Pleasant Valley Road; District 31 of 11 C14-2025-0062 2 BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The purpose statement of family residence (SF-3) district zoning is for a moderate density single-family residential use and a duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. This requested zoning classification is consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. As mentioned above in the issues section. The applicant is bringing forth a non-compliant lot as it …

HISPANIC/LATINO QUALITY OF LIFE RESOURCE ADVISORY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20250722-005 Description of Recommendation to Council The City of Austin needs to ensure equitable funding regarding youth recreational and educational programs. Residents have expressed continued concerns regarding the lack of culturally and linguistically research-based services for children and youth. We need to continue to sustain and expand cultural and multilingual programming for Austin students. Date: July 22, 2025 Subject: FY26 Budget Recommendations Motioned By: Commissioner Recommendation Support for Academia Cuauhtli Programming and Expansion Seconded By: Commissioner D R A F T There is a lack of places where youth can go to connect with their culture and heritage while simultaneously being provided academic support and life skills. Academia Cuauhtli is a free culture and language revitalization academy for school children and their parents. They use a curriculum focused on Indigeneity, social justice, Tejano history, traditional arts, and danza Mexica. The program serves working class, mostly Mexican, immigrant communities whose children attend schools within Austin Independent School District (AISD). The program embraces Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center’s (ESB- MACC) mission of collaborative engagement in service to our communities. Academia Cuauhtli also fulfills its mission through teacher preparation and mentorship by creating teacher support networks, hosting professional training workshops and conferences. programs; and Rationale ● Allocate $106,000 for Academia Cuauhtli’s culturally and linguistically diverse arts ● Allocate $80,000 to create a full-time Culture and Arts Education Supervisor. The Bilingual Cultural Revitalization Saturday Academy offers ethnic studies and Danza Mexica instruction to AISD third- to fifth-graders at no cost, including breakfast and transportation.

Expansion and Empowerment of the Community Liaison Office Proposal to Expand and Elevate the Austin Police Department Community Liaison Office Overview: In order to strengthen community policing, build trust with minoritized communities, and ensure that feedback from impacted groups shapes department policy and practice, we propose expanding and elevating the Community Liaison Office within the Austin Police Department (APD). Key Changes Proposed: ● Structural Elevation: Move the Community Liaison Office out of the Public Information Office (PIO) and establish it as an independent division that reports directly to the Chief of Police (or a designated Assistant Chief). ● Role Expansion: Assign both a civilian liaison and a sworn officer liaison for each major minoritized community (such as LGBTQ+, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian American/Pacific Islander, and Women). These teams would work in close partnership, giving community members the choice of engaging with a civilian or a sworn officer depending on the nature of their concern. ● Formalization of Sworn Officer Roles: Formalize the currently unofficial liaison roles many sworn officers already fulfill, making community liaison work an official, recognized part of their job duties and workload. ● Direct Communication Channels: Create dedicated public contact points (e.g., phone hotline numbers and emails) for each liaison team, and ensure they are prominently available on the APD website and communications. ● Training Responsibilities: Liaison officers would assist in training the broader police force on issues specific to their communities, such as: ○ Correct use of pronouns and respectful engagement with transgender residents ○ Cultural sensitivity and best practices for interacting with various minoritized groups ○ Awareness of systemic issues and culturally competent policing ● Commission and JIC Engagement: Require that liaisons regularly engage with their corresponding City of Austin Quality of Draft Life Commissions (e.g., the Asian American QOL Commission, the LGBTQIA+ Commission) and provide updates and receive input. The liaisons should act as bridges between community representation bodies and APD leadership. ● Policy Feedback Role: Empower liaison teams to provide policy recommendations to APD leadership informed by the needs of their respective communities, ensuring direct integration of lived experiences into policing policy. Goals of This Proposal: ● Create more accessible, transparent, and culturally competent channels for communication between APD and minoritized communities. ● Ensure that community voices—especially those represented by the city's various commissions and the Joint Inclusion Committee (JIC)—are actively heard and integrated into APD policies and practices. ● Build lasting trust …

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Ms. Boudreaux and Members of City Council, I’m writing as a resident of the Sage condos who lives along the southern edge of the proposed rezoning site at 1700 South Lamar (Zoning Case C14-2024-0163). I appreciate the City’s efforts to support increased housing and transit-oriented development, but I have concerns about the proposed height and its direct impact on the livability and character of our neighborhood. The proposed DB90 zoning would allow buildings up to 90 feet tall. From my home, this would likely block the open views I currently enjoy—views that contribute significantly to the sense of light, space, and overall quality of life on the southern edge of this site. Not to mention, the value of the property. I respectfully ask the City to consider a step-down height transition on the southern portion of the site, or some form of height limitation or setback to reduce the visual impact on neighboring homes and protect view corridors. At the very least, I hope the developer is required to provide a clear site plan and renderings before approval, so residents can understand the extent of the visual changes. Thank you for your time and for considering the real-world impacts these decisions have on residents. I would appreciate being notified of any future hearings or opportunities to …

As I provided in written communication to the Commission at your June 2025 meeting, I have owned and lived in a residential property immediately adjoining the property proposed for rezoning since 2013. Management of the property by the prior owner directly affected my quality of life, including disruption from frequent nighttime waste pickup, rodents, odor from port-a-potties placed against my 15 C14-2024-0163 - 1700 South Lamar; District 91 of 34 fence line and violent and loud activities in the unmonitored parking lot at night.

Unfortunately, Stonelake’s new waste vendor continues to collect waste in the middle of the night, and as such there has been no mitigation of this long- standing nuisance.
