Bennett) TO: SF-3 CASE MANAGER: Nancy Estrada (512-974-7617, nancy.estrada@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant family residence (SF-3) district zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 2, 2025: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is located at 7400 Albert Road, just south of Matthews Lane. It consists of an approximately three-acre unplatted tract currently zoned development reserve (DR) district. The site contains one single-family residence located on the property. The surrounding area is primarily residential in character. To the north, south and east, there are single family residences on large tracts and lots that have frontage on Albert Road (SF-6-CO; SF-3; DR; SF-2). The Union Pacific Railroad tracks border this property to the west with single family residences and duplexes located directly across the tracks (MF-2). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). 02 C14-2025-0075 - Wehmeier 3.0; District 51 of 9 C14-2025-0075 Page 2 The Applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from development reserve (DR) district to family residence (SF-3) district zoning. The new HOME amendments will allow up to three dwelling units per lot. Currently, an addition to the existing single family residence is being proposed. Staff is recommending (SF-3) district zoning because it is compatible with the existing mix of residential zoning and housing types in the neighborhood. 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 duplex use on a lot that is a minimum of 5,750 square feet. An SF-3 district designation may be applied to a use in an existing single-family neighborhood with moderate sized lots or to new development of family housing on lots that are 5,750 square feet or more. Up to three units are permitted under single-family residential development standards. 2. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. Staff is recommending family residence (SF-3) district zoning for the subject property.

Austin Parks and Recreation Millennium Youth Entertainment Center Project Improvements Additional Information Additional Information Millennium Youth Entertainment Center • The Millennium Youth Entertainment Center (MYEC) opened to the public in June 1999. The 25-year-old facility features a 100-seat movie theater, roller skating arena, 16 bowling lanes, arcade area, an event area, and a food court. The Millennium serves as a place for youth to skate, bowl, play video games, or have birthday parties, and in addition, hosts special events, job fairs, private receptions, and movie festivals. • The Austin Parks and Recreation (APR) operates the MYEC in partnership with the Austin-Rosewood Community Development Corporation, a local government corporation.

Language Access Plan for Citywide Emergencies Houmma Garba - CPIO David Alcorta – HSEM September 2nd, 2025 Language Access Plan for Citywide Emergencies: Background The City Auditor conducted two audits: one in 2016 and another in 2021, involving language access services provided by the City, which culminated in a special report and staff response. The audits found that the City may not be meeting the needs of all non-English speaking Austinites because written policies did not align with actual practice. Additionally, the Auditor found that the City did not effectively communicate with community members before and during Winter Storm Uri in 2021, especially in language other than English. Because of this, limited English proficiency (LEP) Austinites may not have had the same access to important information and may have been disproportionately impacted. Austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/auditor/audit_reports/language_access_follow_up_may_2023.pdf September 2nd, 2025 Language Access Plan for Citywide Emergencies: Language Access Translation: The conversion of written communication from one language to another in a written form. An accurate translation is one that conveys the intent and essential meaning of the original text. Interpretation: Definitions The oral rendition of a spoken message from one language to another, preserving the intent and meaning of the original message. Threshold Language: The most common spoken languages in Austin other than English. Based on this data, and data on the percentage of people who identify as not speaking English “very well” is how HSEM determined the languages to provide translation and interpretation for. September 2nd, 2025 Language Access Plan for Citywide Emergencies: Limited English Proficiency September 2nd, 2025 What does Limited English Proficiency mean? Limited English Proficiency (LEP) A person with limited English proficiency (LEP) cannot speak, read, write or understand the English language at a level that permits him or her to interact effectively with City staff. Individuals who communicate with American Sign Language are covered in this definition, although other Federal laws and regulations such as the Americans with Disabilities Act apply and should be considered separately. Hello! ¡Hola! 你好! 안녕하세요! Xin chào! नमस्ते! မင်္ဂလာပါ! Collaborative Partners • Communiations and Public Information Office • Homeland Security & Emergency Management • Ausitn Energy • Austin Water • Austin Public Health • And review by numerous community organizations. In 2022, CPIO, HSEM and a collaboration of the City’s departmental Language Access team members established an Emergency Language Access working group. September 2nd, 2025 The Working Group planning activities included: • Gathering LEP …

Public Communication 1. Approval of minutes from the April 23rd, 2025 meeting of the Joint Sustainability Committee. • Davis motion, Maxwell-Gaines second. Davis amendment to remove bullet point under ‘Public Communication’ that says ‘Tom’. • Passes as amended on a 10-0 vote (Leal off dais) DISCUSSION ITEMS 2. Staff Briefing on the Environmentally Preferable Procurement Program – Matt Duree, Capital Procurement, Financial Services Department; Amanda Mortl, Office of Climate Action and Resilience. • Davis: How are smaller purchases scrutinized? How are keywords tied to procurement? • Duree, Mortl: Education, programs, OCAR support can help departments. Large contracts (e.g. office supplies) dealt with by central procurement, contracts written to eliminate non-environmentally friendly options. • Scarborough: category experts look at contracts, identify where to take action based on keywords, set targets/workplans, help departments make decisions. • White: How many staff can make purchases? • Mortl: Around 2000; OCAR supports educating these staff • Duree: Future OCAR partnerships to develop more detailed training • Bell: How does keyword turn into a measure/requirement? How are keywords/targets determined? • Duree: needs policy direction. • Mortl: working on developing action plan for each purchasing category • Scarborough: keywords can change, but need a year or two for contracts to catch up • Mortl: not always simple to make requirements. E.g. easy to require electric landscape equipment, but market might not be ready, small business/competition might not be ready. E.g. concrete – needs specs. Changing contract requirements could lead to reduced bids/competition. • Mortl: Purchasing emissions in 2022 – 206,000 MT CO2e, approx. 4x our municipal GHG footprint 3. 2024-2025 Joint Sustainability Committee Annual Report • Davis suggests offline coordination to pull a draft together for July JSC meeting, if commissioners have suggestions. 4.
