9/9/22 C20-2022-005a ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2022-005a, Land Development Code Amendments Description: Consider an ordinance regarding amendments to Title 25 related to environmental protection and landscape requirements. Proposed Language: Draft language is included as Attachment A. Summary of proposed code changes: A summary of the proposed code changes is included as Attachment B. Background: This ordinance responds to Council Resolution No. 20220609-061, which initiated Land Development Code amendments related to environmental, drainage, and landscape requirements. The resolution directed staff to present most of the initiated amendments to Council for consideration by September 15, 2022. The initiated code amendments and a summary of the staff proposal is provided below: 1. Establish criteria that prioritize when green stormwater methods should be required or incentivized over conventional stormwater controls; The proposed code amendments would require most sites to use green stormwater infrastructure, or GSI, to meet water quality treatment requirements. This amendment was previously proposed and reviewed as part of the Land Development Code (LDC) Revision. Under current code, many sites meet water quality treatment requirements by building a sedimentation/filtration pond. Sedimentation/filtration devices provide some water quality benefits by filtering polluted runoff and helping control stream-channel erosion, but they do not significantly address other important ancillary goals such as supporting on-site vegetation, increasing rainwater infiltration, and reducing potable water consumption. Requiring most sites to use GSI instead of conventional grey stormwater infrastructure will provide myriad benefits, including stormwater infiltration, soil health, wildlife habitat, urban heat island mitigation, water conservation, aesthetic value, and other ecosystem services. GSI also provides enhanced water quality benefits compared to sedimentation/filtration devices, including better removal of nutrients from stormwater and further reductions in erosive flows. The proposed code amendments would allow developments to choose from a variety of green stormwater controls, including biofiltration ponds, rain gardens, rainwater harvesting systems, porous pavement, and retention-irrigation systems (which can be built in conjunction with green roofs). All of these systems beneficially use rainwater to infiltrate and/or offset potable water. Staff also proposes to increase the beneficial use benefits of these controls over time through improvements to the design criteria in the Environmental Criteria Manual. 1 9/9/22 C20-2022-005a The proposed code amendments provide some exceptions from the GSI requirement, allowing conventional controls to be used for sites with more than 90 percent impervious cover, regional ponds, difficult site conditions, and “hot-spot” land uses with highly contaminated runoff (e.g., auto repair facilities).

From: rodneye ahart Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2022 12:46 PM To: Meredith, Maureen <Maureen.Meredith@austintexas.gov> Cc: Conor Kenny < Chaffin, Heather <Heather.Chaffin@austintexas.gov> Subject: The Lancaster (NPA-2022-0023.01.SH and C14-2022-0018.SH) *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Maureen, On September 12, 2022, the Windsor Park Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (WPNPCT) met to discuss and make a recommendation on the neighborhood plan amendment and rezoning requests submitted by Capital A Housing for the redevelopment of 5107-5115 Lancaster Court. The properties are located within the boundaries of the Windsor Park Neighborhood Planning Area. Prior to September, members of the contact team attended the community meetings for the proposed project held by the City of Austin on June 13, 2022, and June 21, 2022. The WPNPCT also held meetings with the applicant and surrounding neighbors on April 11, 2022; July 11, 2022; and August 8, 2022. The feedback provided by the surrounding neighbors at these meetings was taken into consideration by the contact team. By a vote of 6-4-2, the WPNPCT recommends the neighborhood plan amendment request for Mixed Use and the rezoning request for GR-V-MU-CO. The contact team appreciates the applicant’s amended rezoning request for GR instead of CS and the CO restricting the land uses on the site to those allowed under current MF-3 and NO-MU zoning. However, the surrounding neighbors and several members of the contact team raised considerable concerns about the minimum interior and rear yard setbacks. For these reasons, we ask that the Planning Commission explores options with the applicant to achieve the best transition and buffer possible between the proposed project and the adjacent residential properties. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you, Rodney E. Ahart, Chair Windsor Park Neighborhood Plan Contact Team
