African American Quality of Life Commission COMMUNITY POWERED ATX BUILDING PEOPLE POWER FOR HOUSING & SOCIAL JUSTICE Iliana MedranoKecia PrinceHalima Foster11/5/2025 CPATX: Who We Are Equity Overlay Background LDC Potential Impacts Equity Overlay Brief Overview CPATX Community Work Growth & Equity AGENDA WHO WE ARE BIPOC OrganizersA diverse group of passionate youngleaders from Austin's East Crescent,working to advocate for our communities.Lived Experience CenteredThe coalition is organized and led by theresidents and organizers most affected,ensuring their voices are at the forefront. BACKGROUND In Dec 2023 and May 2024, council and the mayor passed HOME 1 and 2 respectively. These were changes to the land development code adding more dense development to lots throughout Austin. Community members, organizers, and advocates asked for an Equity-Overlay to be included in this change. The overlay would aim to protect vulnerable communities, particularly BIPOC residents in Austin's Eastern Crescent, from potential displacement due to proposed changes in the Land Development Code (LDC). CPATX organized a coalition of over 40+ organizations that signed on to a letter in support for an equity overlay. On the day of the HOME phase 2 vote, hundreds of community members turned out to advocate at council for an equity overlay to be included in any LDC changes. UPZONING IMPACTS ON VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES Property Value Increases Granting additional entitlements may drive up market values of properties Rising Costs Potential increases in property taxes and rents Affordable Housing Loss Incentivized demolition of existing affordable apartments and homes The City of Austin Housing Department's Affordability Impact Statement acknowledges these potential consequences, highlighting the risk of reproducing existing inequalities and increasing precarity for those with the fewest resources. DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT ON BIPOC COMMUNITIES With fewer resources to weather increasing housing costs, Black residents are most likely to experience displacement or homelessness. Despite making up only 8% of Travis County's population, Black residents account for 37% of the unhoused population. Demographics Median Income (2021) ~MFI % White Households Hispanic Households Black Households $93,012 90% $57,894 50% $48,350 40% City Council passed an amendment to look into a feasibility study. 6- month delay suggested.

It was designed by noted Austin architect Edwin Clinton Kreisle and is distinguished by its Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style and for several significant occupants who were outstanding in the fields of law and education. The property is within the North University NCCD-NP and is listed as a contributing structure within the Aldridge Place Local Historic District. ● The accessory apartment structure at the north edge of the property was permitted and built in the 1970s, has no architectural significance and is in need of major repair and maintenance. ● We propose to modify the first level of the existing accessory building for a pool room with storage and to add a second level apartment, along with a one-story adjacent Garage. The Garage opens to West 34th Street which bounds the property on the north. Many houses on this block are a full-block deep and well over half of the houses have accessory buildings, many two- story with garages facing West 34th Street. ● Our design approach is to use a stucco exterior similar to the main house. We propose a low-pitched hipped roof to reduce visual impact of the new second level. Our design goal is to create an understated form that complements the historic main house yet does not detract from the main house.
