Maureen May 22, 2022 CANPAC Statement regarding C14-2022-0019.SH and NPA- 2022-0019.01.SH, Cady Lofts We, CANPAC, support affordable housing on this site, and we appreciate the presentation of Option II that does not need a zoning or FLUM change. We are, also, in support of increased density on the LO zoned lots. Since at this point, the applicant has not acquired the property or had their tax credit application approved, permanent change to the zoning and the Neighborhood Plan (CACNP) seems premature. At this time, we ask that the Neighborhood Plan Amendment and the zoning change be postponed, so that they can be reconsidered once the applicant has acquired the property and had their project approved.

Please note that in the City of Austin, zoning does not lock in a site plan, and we are happy to continue altering the site plan with the neighborhood after zoning, if that is desired. Our site plan is not fixed until we go through site plan review with the City, which we anticipate starting in the fall of this year. As far as comparable properties I know that New Hope would be happy to tour any interested neighbors around their existing projects in Houston. They will also be at the CANPAC meeting to answer any questions about their existing projects in greater detail. Please continue reaching out with questions and let us know if you want to have a discussion on Monday before the CANPAC meeting.

With more than 4.9 million visits a year, the 10+ mile hike-and-bike trail is Austin’s most recognized and popular recreational area. But the Trail is more than a great pathway—it is a place where Austin thrives. For many citizens and visitors, it represents the best Austin has to offer: outdoor recreation; a scenic, natural environment; and a diverse, vibrant mix of people. The Butler Trail was established in the 1970s. Since then, the City of Austin’s Parks and Recreation Department (CoA PARD) has exercised responsibility for operating and maintaining the Trail. In 2003, The Trail Foundation (TTF), a 501(c)(3) was formed to enhance the Trail. Since that time, TTF has invested more than $19 million in various improvements, programs, and community engagement opportunities to this public asset, most notably the Boardwalk on the south side of the lake. 1.2 Strategic Plan Alignment TTF Strategic Plan In 2019, TTF entered discussions with the City’s PARD and Watershed Protection Department (WPD) about expanding its role beyond project development to encompass some aspects of maintenance and operations and activation. Toward that end, in 2018 TTF engaged both the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and ETM Associates to consider its vast potential for the future.
