RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMISSION Resolution Supporting Electric-Ready and EV-Ready Amendments to the Energy Conservation Code WHEREAS, it is the purpose of the Resource Management Commission to “review and analyze the City Code to identify potential amendments that encourage the use of alternate energy technologies and renewable energy sources, and the conservation of energy” and to“[a]dvise the city council regarding appropriate City Code amendments that encourage the use of alternate energy technologies and renewable energy sources, and the conservation of energy.” and WHEREAS, the Austin Climate Equity Plan, adopted by city Council on September 30, 2021, sets a goal for the entire Austin community to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 and states that carbon “offsets should constitute no more than 10% of the baseline. This 10% should be reserved for sectors where emission reductions are cost-prohibitive or impossible to reduce with existing technology.” and WHEREAS, the Austin Climate Equity Plan sets the goal to “achieve net-zero carbon for all new buildings” by 2030, states that “A net-zero operational carbon building is highly efficient and entirely powered by on- or off-site renewable energy.” and establishes a strategy to “Achieve goal milestones for net-zero carbon buildings through new building energy codes, amendments, and other methods.” and WHEREAS, the Austin Climate Equity Plan includes the strategy to “Adopt new energy and building codes that address future EV charging needs and enable a more equitable approach by simplifying the charging network and lowering barriers to entry for installing EV charging.” and WHEREAS, electrification of buildings and transportation, paired with renewable electricity production are highly effective strategies for addressing the climate crisis and outdoor and indoor air pollution, and WHEREAS, including proper wiring and electric service to accommodate future use of electric appliances in homes and electric vehicle charging at homes and businesses is more affordable than retrofitting buildings after they are built; and WHEREAS, studies show homes and buildings that are built electric ready provide the necessary electrical infrastructure at significantly reduced costs to the building owner; and WHEREAS, electric-ready provisions ensure that homes and apartments built with gas or propane can easily accommodate future electric appliances and such capabilities provide homeowners with greater flexibilities in appliance selections and protect homeowners from future costs, should they wish to utilize electric appliances; and WHEREAS, both the public comments during the process to adopt the 2021 Energy Conservation Code and during the recent public input process …
PROPOSED RESOLUTION ON AUSTIN ENERGY PROPOSED REDUCTION IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY SERVICE FEES Whereas, the City of Austin has operated energy-efficiency programs since 1982, and these programs have served all rate classes and building types; and Whereas, exemptions from the Energy Efficiency Services fee will render Austin Energy's energy-efficiency and solar programs less effective; and Whereas, Austin Energy proposes to create a new commercial rate class (PRI-2 HLF), and exempt this new rate class' customers from the Energy Efficiency Service fee; and Whereas, customers in this new rate class will benefit from Austin Energy's energy-efficiency and solar programs because of reduction in new capacity, power purchases, regulatory costs, and transmission costs; and Whereas, customers in this rate class will also benefit from reduced environmental effects caused by conventional power plants; and Whereas, some of the customers have participated in rebates in the past, or could participate in the future; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Resource Management Commission of the City of Austin advise City Council that if this new rate class is created, customers in this new rate class should be charged the Energy Efficiency Service fee.

(The submission of a zoning application will happen after the review of the Future Land Use Map for this property by the Planning Commission and City Council.) Approximately 4 acres of the 10.8-acre site will be used for the mixed use development, while the remainder of the property will remain wooded and used as dedicated parkland. The long range planning staff recommends the applicant’s request for Mixed Use land use because the property/project: is located in an area with multifamily uses to the west, and single-family housing to the north; • would add additional multifamily units in support of the Strategic Housing Blueprint; including possible workforce housing in support of the adjacent McKinney Job Center, which is located to the south; is located along the Burleson Road Activity Corridor, which supports dense mixed use and multifamily projects; and is located along a Austin Strategic Mobility Plan Transit Priority Network Roadway. Staff noted that air pollution from the SH71 could possibly negatively impact residents living in the project area, which is adjacent to this major highway.

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 4 TO: GO-MU-NP CASE: C14-2022-0136 (10810 Newmont Rd) ZONING FROM: SF-2-NP ADDRESS: 10810 Newmont Road SITE AREA: 0.304 acres PROPERTY OWNER: 10810 Newmont Apartments LLC (Kinereth Polner) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GO-MU-NP, General Office-Mixed Use-Neighborhood Plan Combining District, zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 15, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 2010 C14-2022-0136 ISSUES: 2 An Amnesty Certificate of Occupancy (CO) was granted for a Site Plan Exemption request for this property on January 21, 2022, as construction of the existing development was started prior to annexation (please see Exhibit C). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property under consideration is developed with a 2 story,10-unit multifamily structure on a 0.304 acre lot. The lots to the north are zoned CS-NP and are developed with office and warehouse uses. To the south, there is SF-2-NP zoning with a single family residence. The lot to the east, across Newmont Road, is zoned GR-MU-CO-NP and is used as an automotive repair business. The lots to the west are zoned SF-2-NP and developed with a duplex residential use and single family residences. The applicant is requesting GO-MU-NP zoning to bring the existing multifamily residential use into conformance with use regulations in the Land Development Code. The staff recommends GO-MU-NP zoning at this location because the site under consideration meets the intent of the office district and mixed use combining district. GO- MU-NP zoning will bring the existing multifamily residential use into conformance with the Land Development Code regulations and will provide for a transition in the intensity of uses from the commercial zoning to the north to the single family zoning to the south. Office- Mixed Use zoning is appropriate for this tract because the property is located midblock, not at an intersection where more intensive commercial zoning is typically located. GO-MU-NP zoning allows for the same residential unit density as MF-4 zoning and will permit civic, office and low density commercial uses, as well as residential uses on the property. The neighborhood planning staff is recommending a proposed FLUM change from Single Family to Mixed Use/Office for this site in related case, NPA-2021-0007.01. The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. General Office district is intended for offices and selected commercial uses predominately …
