APPEAL TO PLANNING COMMISSION HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION DENIAL OF A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS REVIEW SHEET PLANNING COMMISSION: HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION: March 22, 2021, postponed April 26, 2021, postponed May 24, 2021, feedback provided July 26, 2021, denied August 24, 2021 CASE NUMBER: HR-2021-085739 HISTORIC NAME: Mitchell-Robertson Building (C14H-2004-0008) DISTRICT: 9 ADDRESS: 909 Congress Avenue ZONING: CBD-H APPELLANT: Drenner Group, P.C. (Leah Bojo) AGENT: Drenner Group, P.C. (Leah Bojo) PROPERTY OWNER: H. Dalton Wallace PROJECT BACKGROUND: The applicant proposes to carefully deconstruct, store, and reconstruct the building façades at 907, 909, and 911 Congress Ave. as part of a redevelopment project at a later date. The Grandberry Building (907 Congress Ave.) and Mitchell- Robertson Building (909 Congress Ave.) are historic landmarks and require a certificate of appropriateness for this work, which the Historic Landmark Commission (HLC) has granted for 907 but not 909 Congress Ave. The building at 911 Congress Ave. is part of the Congress Avenue National Register historic district but has been too altered to be eligible for landmark designation. Per the applicant, stabilization and repair of the building façades in place is not technically feasible due to the extent of their deterioration, including mortar loss, shear failures and racking, and the infeasibility of shoring the façades during construction of a new tower behind them. The project will ultimately result in accurate reconstruction of the three façades to match their historic appearance, reusing historic materials to the greatest extent possible and accurately replicating missing or damaged elements. APPEAL REQUEST: The applicant has filed an appeal of the HLC’s July 26, 2021 denial of a certificate of appropriateness to deconstruct, store, and reconstruct the façade of 909 Congress Ave. and requests approval of this project. The appeals process for certificates of appropriateness is described in Land Development Code §25-11-247. The HLC’s decision may be appealed to the land use commission, and the land use commission’s decision may in turn may be appealed to City Council. BUILDING AND STANDARDS COMMISSION ACTION: March 24, 2021: The Building and Standards Commission issued orders for 907, 909, and 911 Congress Ave. requiring that conditions be remedied within 90 days or imposing fines on the property owner. That timeline expired on June 22, 2021. The orders require repairs to fully remedy violations, which include cracks and openings in exterior walls, roof and drainage issues, and missing windows, among other concerns.

I am also providing the following information, as required by Section 25-1-183: Appellant Name: Appellant Address: Appellant Phone: Appellant Status: Appealed Decision: Date of Decision: Reasons for Appeal: Michael J. Whellan 100 Congress Ave., Suite 1300 512-435-2300 Agent for property owner. Parkland dedication determination (described below). July 27, 2021 As described below. Our team reached out to PARD last summer, in August 2020, to discuss the Project and the configuration of on-site parkland. We then officially submitted a site plan application in late November 2020, and received our first comments from PARD in February 2021. For nearly a year, we have engaged extensively with PARD regarding the configuration of our parkland and ways to meet PARD’s requirements, including obtaining Austin Energy’s approval to implement parkland improvements within an existing electrical easement area. This easement area – roughly 3,740 sf of amenitized space achieved through the applicant’s efforts – would expand the usable parkland area above and beyond the space owed by the applicant. The applicant undertook this effort to help meet PARD’s desire for additional space and is not requesting any parkland dedication credit for this area. {W1063188.4} The Project is located in an Imagine Austin Center (Highland Mall Station) and is surrounded on three sides by Transit Priority Network roadways, marking it as a priority area for additional housing, and especially for long-term, affordable, income-restricted housing, which the Project will provide. Fully embracing affordable housing in these areas is particularly important given that the city has progress to make on its affordable housing goals. …
305 S. Congress PUD Presentation to the Parks and Recreation Board September 14, 2021 Atha Phillips Environmental Program Coordinator Environmental Officer’s Office Scott Grantham Planner Principal, Park Planning Parks & Recreation Department Agenda • Proposed PUD environmental attributes and status • Proposed superiority • Code modifications • Staff evaluation • Staff proposed conditions for superiority Proposed PUD Lady Bird Lake Staff Evaluation - Environmental 1. PUD proposes to develop portions of the critical water quality zone and floodplain. Redundant concrete paths along with proposed vending in the future will exacerbate erosion. Proposing to cap impervious cover at 24.5% within the critical water quality zone, code allows 5% and Waterfront Overlay allows 15%. 2. Staff understands the need for a public viewing area and heavier programming on the west side of the park. Staff has offered in exchange for more development on the west side of the park , the east side should be restored to a more natural state. This would include relocating the trail a minimum of 25’ from the shoreline and moving all water quality to this area. 3. The restrictions proposed on the dedicated parkland by the applicant will not allow for the design necessary to achieve the environmental goals. There are areas on the west side of the property that are more suited to programming. This area near Congress bridge is full of ragweed and has no trees, it is where shoreline access including the pier and stairs should be located. There are areas throughout the shoreline that are eroding and need to be restored and protected with a split rail fence. There are areas along the trail where water is running downhill across the trail and causing erosion along the shoreline. On the eastern half of the property, the trail lies on the edge of the shoreline and is causing erosion downslope. Staff suggests that the trail be moved a minimum of 25’ from the shoreline in these areas. The area between the trail and the shoreline should be restored. Auditorium Shores example of restoration with access points In exchange for denser development on the west side for bat viewing, staff proposes moving the trail off the shoreline as shown. Staff also proposes moving all water quality ponds as shown and integrating the rain gardens with restoration, alleviating the need for a deep biofiltration pond in the bat viewing area.

2016 PLAN vs 2020 MODIFIED PLAN 2016 SCW Plan 2020 Modified SCW Plan DRAFT | October 19, 2020 DRAFT | October 19, 2020 2020 Modified Plan focuses on two properties - Statesman & Crockett. Combined, these two properties reflect 30 acres or roughly 30% of the properties in the SCW District. In the SCW Vision, these two properties contribute 65% of District’s Open Space through the Waterfront Park Sequence and Crockett Square; 70% of District’s New Streets - most notably extension of Barton Springs Road and accommodating the proposed alignment of CapMetro’s Blue Line; and 62% of Projected District Buildout. A fundamental difference between the 2016 Physical Framework and the 2020 Modified Physical Framework is in the location and alignment of future streets and the open space network on the two largest properties – colloquially known as the Statesman Site and the adjacent Crockett Property.

DRAFT | October 19, 2020 DRAFT | October 19, 2020 2020 MODIFIED OPEN SPACES The SCW Framework Plan will add approximately 17 acres of open space to the South Central Waterfront. These new parks, plazas and trails serve as destinations for recreation as well as amenities for people who will live and work in the neighborhood. In addition, each park incorporates innovative strategies coordinated across the district to ensure that stormwater is managed and treated before flowing into Bouldin Creek and Lady Bird Lake. SCW Plan identifies four major open space opportunities that anchor the district’s public realm. The interconnected network of green streets and trails connect these open spaces.
