Report on Budget Recommendations to Council for FY 2022-23 Joint Inclusion Committee The Joint Inclusion Committee (JIC) made significant changes to its approach to budget recommendations for FY 2022-23 based on comments and suggestions from the past several years. The changes were intended to reflect the mission of the JIC to better "promote close cooperation between Council City management, City boards, commissions, committees, task forces, individuals, institutions, and agencies to increase and sustain equity, diversity, and inclusion in the City of Austin. This year, we began the process by preparing a list of the issues that we believed were most pressing for the marginalized communities represented by the commissions that make up the JIC. We intended to focus our recommendations and endorsements on these priority issues without limiting commissions from making individual recommendations on issues specific to their communities. Accordingly, chairs, vice-chairs, and designated JIC representatives from the member Commissions vetted these issues in a virtual meeting. The identified issues included: ● Affordability ● Resilience ● Access ● Engagement ● Public Safety ● Health The second step was a briefing from the Budget Office on what prior-year recommendations had been included in the current adopted budget, followed by an opportunity to meet with departments to discuss their current year plans. Unfortunately, this briefing did not occur until late January of this year rather than at the beginning of the fiscal year as has been done in past years. This delay put commissions at a considerable disadvantage in preparing informed budget recommendations, given the shortened time frame between the budget briefing and the deadline for submitting recommendations. The six priority issues served as the basis for organizing our three town hall sessions, which began immediately following the Budget Office briefing. Although the priority issues provided a focus for the town halls, discussions were not limited to those subjects. Overall, the town halls supported the focus on the identified issues but provided additional contexts based on how individuals had experienced the issue. For example, while we had originally defined safe and affordable housing to include the related expense of childcare, we heard from the community that family members with disabilities presented unique unmet needs in terms of access and affordability. Additional meetings with City departments were scheduled to discuss possible recommendations and get department input. Those were scheduled so that multiple commissions with similar issues could meet with departments simultaneously to better …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: SF-3-NP DISTRICT: 4 CASE: C14-2022-0022 (1106 S Meadows) ZONING FROM: SF-2-NP ADDRESS: 1106 South Meadows Drive SITE AREA: 0.2045 acres (8,908 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: TALEM INVESTMENTS LLC AGENT: McNair Consulting, LLC (Jason McNair) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends SF-3-NP, Family Residence-Neighborhood Plan Combining District, zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: April 26, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 12 C14-2022-0022 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The site under consideration is developed with a 979 sq. ft. single family house on an 8,908 sq. ft. lot. The properties to the north, east and west are developed with single family residences, zoned SF-2-NP. To the south, across, South Meadows Drive, there are single- family homes, zoned SF-2-NP, and a duplex residence, zoned SF-3-NP. The applicant is requesting SF-3-NP zoning so that he can add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) to the property. The staff recommends SF-3-NP zoning at this location because the property meets the intent of the Family Residence zoning district. The proposed rezoning will promote consistency and orderly planning because there are numerous properties within this neighborhood that are zoned SF-3-NP. The lots directly behind/ to the north of this site are developed with duplex residences fronting N. Meadows Drive. The proposed addition of an ADU to this site will provide for more housing units in this area. The property in question is located within the North Austin Civic Association (NACA) Neighborhood Planning area. The current land use on the FLUM is Single Family and the proposed land use through proposed zoning change is Single Family. Therefore, a plan amendment is not required. 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. Family Residence district is intended as an area for moderate density single-family residential use, with a minimum lot size of 5,750 square feet. Duplex use is permitted under development standards which maintain single-family neighborhood characteristics. This district is appropriate for existing single-family neighborhoods having typically moderate sized lot patterns, as well as for development of additional family housing areas with minimum land requirements. Neighborhood Plan district denotes a tract located within the boundaries of an adopted Neighborhood Plan. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning. The proposed zoning will promote consistency and orderly planning because …
