************************************************************************ MEMORANDUM TO: Planning Commission Members FROM: Sherri Sirwaitis Housing and Planning Department DATE: July 25, 2022 RE: C14-2022-0064 (Victory Medical Micro Hospital) – Updated Staff Recommendation ************************************************************************ Upon further consideration, the staff is revising our recommendation for this case. The staff maintains our recommendation of GR zoning for Tract 1, the LO-CO zoned properties fronting East Ben White Boulevard. However, we are updating our recommendation to LO-MU-CO zoning for Tract 2, the two rear lots fronting onto Fort View Road. Revising our recommendation from LO-MU-CO and NO-MU-CO zoning to LO-MU-CO zoning for Tract 2 will allow for consistency in development on the rear portion of this property along Fort View Road. The proposed conditional overlay will continue to prohibit vehicular access to and from the subject tract and Fort View Road for civic and commercial uses, with exceptions for emergency services and bicycle and pedestrian traffic.

Racial Landscaping: A Brief History of Park Planning along Lower Waller Creek Austin, 1880 A Social Survey of Austin, 1913 …people are crowded together in small huts, one and two families in a one-room shanty, and little children are forced to play out in the dusty street on the filthy, dirty creek or river bank where their homes are located. A City Plan for Austin, 1928 …we are recommending the ultimate establishment of a neighborhood park in the vicinity of Eleventh and Twelfth Streets just east of the I& G N Railroad…The topography is very rough and is at present occupied by the cheapest type of negro shacks, whereas the property immediately adjoining is more valuable and can eventually be residential property of the highest order. The acquisition of this property for park purposes, and the removal of the present type of development, will increase the value of the surrounding property many times the cost of the acquisition thereof. A City Plan for Austin, 1928 The property immediately north of Palm School, on account of being isolated and cut up by Waller Creek, is very cheap property, and in a neglected state … The block to the west of Palm School … is also very cheap property and will remain so as long as Waller Creek is permitted to continue in its present condition. It is our recommendation that these tracts of land be acquired by the city, and that the course of Waller Creek be straightened … Second Street from Red River to East Avenue and Sabine Street from First to Third could be vacated and this entire tract converted into a very desirable neighborhood play ground. A City Plan for Austin, 1928 [The] Shoal Creek Valley … is flanked on either side by high bluffs, and very desirable residential property. Between the bluffs ... are considerable lowlands which are not particularly desirable for residential use. We are recommending that the lowlands of this valley be acquired for a large park ... to control the nature of developments of the bluff front properties. The completion of this drive will entail the acquisition of certain cheap property along the banks of Waller Creek from Eighth Street to Nineteenth Street. Most of the property which will be needed is at present occupied by very unsightly and unsanitary shacks inhabited by negroes. With these buildings removed...remaining property will be of a substantial …
Forgetting Waller Creek: An Environmental History of Race, Parks, and Planning in Downtown Austin, Texas Katherine Leah Pace Journal of Southern History, Volume 87, Number 4, November 2021, pp. 603-644 (Article) Published by The Southern Historical Association For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/840045 Access provided at 5 Dec 2021 03:27 GMT from The University Of Texas at Austin, General Libraries Forgetting Waller Creek: An Environmental History of Race, Parks, and Planning in Downtown Austin, Texas By Katherine Leah Pace Waller Creek is a flood-prone stream that runs through the center of Austin, Texas. To quote Joseph Jones, an English professor who published a 1982 treatise on the waterway, Waller Creek flows “quite literally” through “the inner heart of Austin.” It originates in the city’s north-central suburbs and flows generally south through the University of Texas (UT) flagship campus, past the historic Brackenridge Hospital, around the east side of Capitol Square, which sits on a hill, and down the eastern edge of down- town, where it empties into Town Lake, an impounded stretch of the Colorado River. It is Austin’s most urbanized, polluted, and degraded creek; yet, as ecologists insist, it continues to provide habitat for a host of animal and plant species.1 A “flash flood alley,” central Texas is a convergence zone for divergent weather systems, including massive, humid tropical fronts that roll off the Gulf of Mexico and cold dry fronts that move into Texas from the north and west. When these systems collide, they produce intense storms. Central Texas soils are relatively thin and rocky or heavy in clay, while the region’s terrain is hilly, limiting the soil’s capacity to absorb rainfall. As such, during intense storms, runoff flows rapidly into nearby streams, trig- gering sudden, high-velocity, and enormously destructive flash floods.2 1 Joseph Jones, Life on Waller Creek: A Palaver about History as Pure and Applied Education (Austin, 1982), 8–9 (quotation on 9). In 2007 Town Lake was renamed Lady Bird Lake.
