ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 17, 2026: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property consists of approximately 15.5 acres located at 1120 ½, 1120, and 1122 South Capital of Texas Highway southbound, on the west side of South Capital of Texas Highway (Loop 360), generally south of Lost Creek Boulevard, within the City of Austin’s Full Purpose Jurisdiction. The site is currently developed with office uses and a parking garage and is zoned Limited Office (LO) and Neighborhood Commercial (LR). Surrounding land uses include offices and townhomes to the north (LR; MF-1-CO; LO; GO), offices to the south (LR; GO), religious assembly and office uses to the east within the West Lake Hills ETJ, and single-family residences and undeveloped land to the west (SB 2038 ETJ Release; 03 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 8 1 of 43 C14-2025-0089 Page 2 I-RR). South Capital of Texas Highway is a Level 5 corridor per the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) and Lost Creek Boulevard is a Level 3. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and B (Aerial View). The applicant is requesting LO-V-DB90, Limited Office-Vertical Mixed Use Building- Density Bonus 90 Combining District, zoning for a proposed development that would include multi-family units requiring an affordable component. A building constructed under density bonus 90 (DB90) standards allows for a mix of residential uses and commercial uses, and the result is typically retail, restaurants and offices on the ground floor, and residential units on upper levels. The overall project would consist of approximately 475 residential units and will not be seeking a partial/complete (0-100%) modification for the ground floor commercial space requirement. Please refer to Exhibit C (Applicant’s Summary Letter). A development utilizing the “density bonus …

For more information see the basis of recommendation section below. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: February 17, 2026: Case is scheduled to be heard by the Zoning and Platting Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is a little more than 3 acres of currently undeveloped land to the southwest of the intersection of U.S. Highway 290 Service Road East Bound and Springdale Road. These are high intensity roadways, an ASMP level 4 and level 3 respectively. When this property was previously rezoned in 2006 there was a conditional overlay establishing a trip count limit of 2,000 trips per day. This was common of properties within the vicinity at that time. However, at that time U.S. 290 at Springdale Road was a traffic signal and two 4-lane roadways. Today it is a 6-lane freeway with an overpass at Springdale Road flanked by two 3-lane service roads, one in each direction. Austin Transportation and Public Works (TPW) notes in their comments below, they support the removal of the following condition from Ordinance No. 20060727-129: “A site plan or building permit for the Property may not be approved, released or issued, if the completed development or uses of the Property, considered cumulatively with all existing or previously authorized development and uses, generate traffic that exceeds 2,000 trips per day.” 05 C14-2025-0121 - 8901 E. U.S. 290 Highway; District 11 of 9 Limited industrial services (LI) zoning is appropriate at the site; it is the dominant zoning classification in the vicinity, particularly to the northwest. Almost all the property in the immediate area previously zoned community commercial (GR) was condemned with the right of way to the south of U.S. 290 when the highway was constructed. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should promote the policy of locating retail and more intensive zoning near the intersections of arterial roadways or at the intersections …

Capital of Texas Hwy SB Proposed Zoning Change: LO and LR to LO-V-DB90 Scheduled Hearing: February 17, 2026 – Zoning and Platting Commission Dear Ms. Villela and Members of the Zoning and Platting Commission, We, the undersigned residents of the Lost Creek, Wilson Heights, and surrounding neighborhoods, respectfully request an immediate postponement of the public hearing for Case No. C14-2025-0089, currently scheduled for February 17, 2026. We are the community most directly impacted by this proposed rezoning, as our homes are immediately adjacent to the subject property. We are not opposed to responsible development of this site; however, the scope and scale of what is being proposed—475 residential units in a building up to 90 feet tall on a currently low-density commercial property—demands meaningful community review that has not yet been possible. The mailing date on the public hearing notice is February 6, 2026, giving our community barely 11 days before the scheduled hearing. For a project of this magnitude—one that would fundamentally alter the character, density, traffic patterns, and environmental profile of our area—this timeframe is wholly insufficient for residents to meaningfully review the application, gather relevant information, consult with experts, and prepare informed testimony. The community has not had sufficient time to meaningfully review or respond to the scope of this proposal. We request postponement on the following specific grounds: 1. Incomplete or Missing Educational Impact …

I am requesting that the February 17 hearing for Case C14-2025-0089 be postponed until May 19th This project proposes 475 multifamily units, which triggers a mandatory Educational Impact Statement for any project with 200+ multifamily units. The property is in the Eanes ISD, which is already facing budget challenges. The application’s own EIS form leaves the number of bedrooms per unit as “TBD.” We cannot confirm that a completed EIS has been submitted to or reviewed by Eanes ISD. If the EIS is incomplete, the hearing should not proceed. This is a regulatory requirement, not optional. My two children attend Forest Trail Elementary and a daughter attends Westridge Middle School both apart of EISD. Recently due to budget deficits EISD had to close an elementary school Valley View which replaced those kids into existing elementary schools in EISD namely in Forest Trail Elementary and the class sizes have gotten much larger. They also started school an hour earlier earlier to handle the busing 1 03 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 8 1 of 179 which has a negative impact on kiddos sleep and makes it impossible to get out of the neighborhood between 7-9am in one of the only exits out of the Lost Creek Development which is adjacent to proposed zoning change and is also adjacent to a 48 house build of homes in Lost Creek. A reckless change in zoning without proper education impact assessment and communication with EISD officials endangers the kids currently in school and the financial security not the district. Also have any safety impact been considered about building this close to an elementary school? The build is directly opposite the elementary school.

I am requesting that the February 17 hearing be postponed until May 19th to obtain accurate traffic information. The numbers in the application do not seem to be correct. This project would add 475 apartments to Lost Creek Boulevard, which already handles 8,000–10,000 car trips per day through a single left-turn 4 03 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 8 1 of 11 lane at Loop 360. A fatality occurred at this intersection this past year. The application says no Traffic Impact Analysis is needed – for a project that would increase traffic by 30–40%. That is not acceptable. The application also ignores the Marshall development (48 homes), the Stratus development (600+ homes and apartments), and the TxDOT Loop 360 project – all happening in the same area. Our neighborhood has limited roads in and out, which is also a serious wildfire evacuation concern. • Every Monday-Friday, 7:30 am - 9:00 am, 3:30 pm - 6:30 pm, the traffic light at Lost Creek and Capital of TX is already grossly overly congested with day to day commuter traffic. Add in construction of the 48 new homes being built, or an event (lockdown, performances, Football games) at Forest Trail Elementary School/Westlake High School and you can’t get out of Lost Creek. Please postpone this hearing until a Traffic Impact Analysis is completed. Our community deserves that basic safety review. Mari Jackson 1701 Lost Creek Blvd, Austin, TX 78746 2.

Dear Zoning and Platting Commission Members, I am writing to express my support for the neighborhood postponement request to April 7th in case C14-2025-0094 (2117 W 49th St. and 4709 Rosedale Ave). Play Fair with Rosedale is working with the developer and AISD to come to an agreeable solution to a number of concerns with the proposed sale and development of the property. As you may know, current pending litigation may have a significant effect on what zoning is appropriate for this neighborhood property. The results of that lawsuit will materially affect the council's ability to rezone the property. While the city is able to move forward with its own processes and is not necessarily bound by the fact that there is pending litigation, we also can wisely use our limited resources of staff and citizen time on cases without this degree of uncertainty. Additionally, the neighborhood contact team is in ongoing discussions to address traffic, development, and safety issues. Traffic plans and analysis are currently being debated. A number of traffic safety concerns and quality of life concerns raised by the neighborhood are begin addressed. A postponement to March 17 would conflict with breaks for AISD and the constituents. This timing could interfere with good faith efforts to reach agreement.

Item 2- Rate Recommendation 1 of 2 — original pdf
Resource Management Commission Resolution Fairness of Residential Electric Rates Whereas, progressive Residential utility rates structures that charge less per unit for less consumption and more per unit for greater consumption encourage conservation; and Whereas progressive Residential rate structures also help save money for low-income customers, who generally use less energy; and Whereas, Austin Energy defended raising these rates during the 2025 budget by explaining to City Council and the Electric Utility Commission that Residential bills would actually go down because of lower fuel costs, when in fact this was not the case; and Whereas, Austin Energy’s more regressive Residential rate structure harms some City Council Districts disproportionally, with Districts 3,4,6,7, and 9 seeing the average bill go up between 31 and 34% between 2022 and 2026, while District 10 will see its average bill go up only 20% (See Attachment 1); and Whereas Austin Energy did not inform the City Council and the general public of this; and Whereas, Austin Energy has claimed that low-income customers have had their bills lowered through the Customer Assistance Program, even though the percentage of CAP customers in less than one-third of Austin’s population of low- and moderate-income citizens; and Whereas, due to the increasingly regressive nature of the rate structure, the majority of Residential customers in every City Council District will see their rates rise above average (See Attachment 2); and Whereas, the Resource Management Commission passed a resolution during the last Austin Energy rate case in 2022 that was on record against regressive rates (Recommendation No. 20221018-004B); and Whereas, Austin Energy intentionally avoided bringing this issue to the RMC during the budget and rate review in 2025, making it impossible for the Commission to make a similar recommendation; and Whereas, Austin Energy went on record during the settlement of the rate case in 2022 to raise Residential rates by a prescribed amount, but exceeded this in 2025, calling into question if the utility can abide by its commitments; and Whereas, electric rates were raised though the budget process and not through an evidentiary rate hearing that Austin is accustomed to; and Whereas rate cases were held in 2012, 2016, and 2022, but have since been completely eliminated; and Whereas, Austin Energy has predicted a 5% per year overall rate increase each year for the next four years; and Whereas, the increased Austin Energy budget has been created without allowing ratepayers and stakeholders …

Resource Management Commission Resolution Fairness of Residential Electric Rates WHEREAS, progressive Residential utility rates structures that charge less per unit for less consumption and more per unit for more consumption encourage conservation; and WHEREAS, progressive Residential rate structures also help save money for low-income customers, who generally use less energy; and WHEREAS, Austin Energy has implemented a more regressive Residential rate structure that runs counter to the goals of both energy conservation and of lowering costs for low-income residents; and WHEREAS, Austin Energy defended this change during the 2025 budget by explaining to City Council and the Electric Utility Commission that Residential bills would actually go down because of lower fuel costs, when in fact this has not happened; and WHEREAS, this more regressive Residential rate structure harms some City Council Districts disproportionally, where Districts 3,4,6,7, and 9 experienced rate increases of between 31 and 34% between 2022 and 2026, while District 10 experienced only a 20% rate increase (See Attachment 1); and WHEREAS, Austin Energy did not inform the City Council and the general public of this; and WHEREAS, Austin Energy has stated that low-income customers have had their bills lowered through the Customer Assistance Program, even though the percentage of CAP customers is less than one-third of Austin’s population of low- and moderate-income citizens; and WHEREAS, due to the increasingly regressive nature of the rate structure, the majority of Residential customers in every City Council District have seen their rates rise above average (See Attachment 2) because customers with the very highest energy usage received a rate increase far below the average; and WHEREAS, the Resource Management Commission (RMC) passed a resolution during the last Austin Energy rate case in 2022 that was on record against regressive rates (Recommendation No. 20221018-004B); and WHEREAS, Austin Energy did not mention this major rate change to RMC during the budget review in 2025, making it difficult for the Commission to make a similar recommendation; and WHEREAS, high monthly base fees such as those in Austin ($16.50) contribute to regressive rates, and there are other municipal electric utilities in Texas with lower monthly fees, including San Antonio CPS ($9.50), the City of Brownsville ($6.94); the City of Greenville ($12.15), the City of San Marcos ($12.61), and Bryan Texas Utilities ($11); and WHEREAS, Austin Energy went on record during the settlement of the rate case in 2022 to raise Residential rates by a …

Water Management Strategy Implementation REPORT Fourth Quarter 2025, October - December February 2026 Contents Fourth Quarter Summary Water Conservation Updates Water Loss Reduction Updates Reclaimed Water and Onsite Reuse Updates Conservation Outreach Updates Water Supply Project Updates Water Use and GPCD Notes Regarding Data 2 Fourth Quarter Summary The Water Management Strategy Implementation Report is intended to provide transparency and accountability regarding the execution of strategies from the 2024 Water Conservation Plan and the 2024 Water Forward Plan. The plans include proactive and substantial demand management strategies and innovative local supply strategies, but the hard work necessary to complete the strategies and meet the goals are illustrated in the implementation reports. While the combined water storage in Lakes Buchanan and Travis stayed about 80 percent full throughout the fourth quarter of 2025, Central Texas entered moderate and severe levels of hydrologic drought and remained throughout the quarter. These dry conditions resulted in summer-like water use levels in October before lessening in November. 3 Water Conservation Updates Annual WaterWise Irrigation Program seminar was held on November 6, 2025. Over 130 irrigators and landscapers attended the seminar to learn about landscaping and irrigation. Irrigation inspection anniversary – since October 2024, 1,600 new residential automatic irrigation systems have been inspected to meet State and Austin regulations, providing more efficient and effective landscape irrigation. In 2025, customers saved over 30 million gallons from rebate programs, the highest in 5 years. 4 Water Conservation Metrics Residential Rebate Programs Approved Rebates 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 Drought Survival Tools Irrigation Upgrades Rainwater Harvesting Rebates WaterWise Landscape WaterWise Rainscape Other Residential Programs Q4 2024-Q3 2025 Q4 2025 5 Water Conservation Metrics Commercial Rebate Programs Approved Rebates 5 4 3 2 1 0 4 4 3 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 Bucks for Business Other Commercial Programs Q4 2024-Q3 2025 Q4 2025 6 Water Conservation Metrics Compliance Assessments Number of Compliant Commercial Facilities 86% 3,500 3,000 2,500 2,000 1,500 1,000 500 0 Number of Compliant Commercial Facilities 85% 96% 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 Landscape Irrigation Assessment Cooling Tower Assessment Vehicle Wash Assessment Q4 2024-Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q4 2024-Q3 2025 Q4 2025 7 Water Conservation Strategy Milestones (Water Conservation Plan, p. 35-36, Water Forward Plan, p. 34, 36) 2025 Milestones Commercial Incentives Progress Pilot an …

To: From: Date: MEMORANDUM Resource Management Commission (RMC) Stephanie Koudelka, Interim Senior VP & Chief Financial Officer February 13, 2026 Subject: February 17, 2026 RMC Agenda Item # 2 This memo clarifies and corrects information in the draft resolution on the February 17, 2026, meeting agenda. Austin Energy is a cost-recovery utility. Austin Energy’s rates are designed strictly to recover the utility’s costs incurred in providing electric service to customers. Austin Energy’s retail rate structure includes base rates, which cover fixed costs outlined below, and pass-through rates, which include the Power Supply Adjustment, Community Benefit Charge, and Regulatory Charge. Information about Austin Energy’s residential rates and charges is available on Austin Energy's website. Austin Energy’s rates are determined using careful planning and analysis, ensuring system reliability and the utility’s financial health. • Base rates are set to recover costs such as billing, metering, debt service, equipment, and employee salaries. Base rates include a customer charge and energy charges. The customer charge is $16.50 per month and remains low compared to our peers. Austin Energy’s Customer Assistance Program (CAP) customers, a set of customers that has been vastly expanded in recent years to reach more low income customers, do not pay the customer charge. Energy charges are based on the actual electricity used by customers each month, through an escalating tier structure. The less a customer uses, the lower their bill. • Customers’ energy usage has decreased consistently over the years due to Austin Energy’s industry leading conservation programs. Austin Energy must recover rising costs through a balanced approach in the fixed customer charge and energy charges. • Base rates are applied consistently to Austin Energy customers, and any difference among customer bills is due to consumption patterns, not Council district. • Rising costs, due mostly to rapid and substantial inflation in our sector but also due to critical system investments, mean that Austin Energy must increase base rates to achieve financial stability. In FY26, Austin Energy’s base rates increased 5% to ensure continued system resilience and effective cost recovery. Current base rates were approved by Council ordinance as part of the FY26 budget process.

The EUC has purview over rates and has the opportunity to make recommendations to Council. City Council votes on Austin Energy’s rates every year …
