ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET C20-2025-006 Amendment: C20-2025-006 Amendments to the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan (ERC): Conduct a public hearing and consider a recommendation to amend the ERC Regulating Plan to remove the property located at 1705 and 1717 South Lakeshore Boulevard and 1712 East Riverside Drive from the ERC Regulating Plan and to change the boundary of the ERC Regulating Plan. Background and summary of proposed code amendment: This amendment was initiated by the City Council under Resolution No. Resolution No. 20250605-079. Council Sponsors: Mayor Kirk Watson, Council Member Ryan Alter, Council Member Zohaib ''Zo'' Qadri, Council Member José ''Chito'' Vela, Council Member José Velásquez. On February 25, 2010, the City Council adopted the ERC as an amendment to the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. The ERC Plan establishes a long-term vision to transition existing low-density, auto-oriented commercial uses into a pedestrian, and bicycle-friendly, mixed-use urban district. A core objective of the plan is to advance high-quality development and create vibrant places where people can live, work, shop, and recreate within walking distance. In May 2013, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 20130509-039 which created the ERC zoning district and established the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan (ERC Regulating Plan) and its associated planning area boundary. Council also adopted Ordinance No. 20130509-042 rezoning approximately 228 acres within the East Riverside Corridor to ERC. The approximately 1.437-acre property at 1705 and 1717 South Lakeshore Boulevard and 1712 East Riverside Drive (collectively, the “South Lakeshore Tract”), located adjacent to the South Shore District Planned Unit Development (PUD), was included within the ERC Regulating Plan boundary at that time. The property owner intends to submit a PUD amendment application to modify existing development regulations within the South Shore District PUD and incorporate the South Lakeshore Tract into the PUD. Because the property lies within the ERC Regulating Plan boundary, a Code amendment is required to remove the tract from the ERC Regulating Plan to allow its inclusion in the PUD. This amendment will provide for consistent and cohesive development regulations within the South Shore District PUD. The current ERC Regulating Plan includes several figures that depict the subject property. See Exhibit “A”. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed Code Amendment to amend the East Riverside Corridor Regulating Plan to remove the property located at 1705 and 1717 South Lakeshore Boulevard and 1712 East Riverside Drive from the following figures as depicted by …

Background: On June 20, 2025, House Bill 24 (HB 24) was approved in the 89th Texas State Legislative Session.

Located at the corner of West 14th and West Lynn Streets, the church brought together neighbors in fellowship and activities for people of all ages. Over the decades, St. Luke’s provided a welcoming place for worship, education, and community engagement. The church’s role extended well beyond its congregation. St. Luke’s supported numerous outreach efforts that benefited the broader community. These included partnerships with the Hope Food Pantry, support for senior citizen activity centers, student family services, a child care center, and regular Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. The church also fostered community engagement through partnerships with local organizations such as Imagine Art. Through these programs and relationships, St. Luke’s served as a gathering place and a resource for neighbors throughout Old West Austin and beyond. OWANA appreciates the collaborative approach taken by the prospective new ownership group, which is comprised of local 78703 residents. The group has engaged constructively with the neighborhood and has presented a thoughtful vision to preserve the historic church buildings while adapting the site for a new community-oriented use. The proposed adaptive reuse project would establish a neighborhood bookstore with a café offering coffee, light fare, and beer and wine, creating a welcoming place for neighbors to gather. The concept also includes space for creative-sector partners, such as art galleries and small creative offices, helping to activate the site as a cultural and community hub. This vision aligns well with the neighborhood’s character and continues the long tradition of the property serving as a place where people come together. Importantly, the …

Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.; Austin, Texas Dear Ms. Meisenbach: As you requested, this letter report summarizes the results of my evaluation of environmental conditions and potential human health effects due to releases of dry cleaning chemicals from the former Jack Brown Cleaners (JBC) property (Site) located at 615 W. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd in Austin, Texas. I summarize background information regarding the Site history, presence of dry cleaning chemical contamination in soil and groundwater at the Site and at nearby properties, regulatory status with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), and environmental risks if the Site is redeveloped for commercial or residential use. Summary and Conclusions From my review of the JBC Site VCP documents, I draw the following conclusions: ▪ ▪ ▪ The Site soil and groundwater are contaminated with high concentrations of the dry cleaning chemical Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and its degradation by-product chemicals, including Trichloroethylene (TCE) and Vinyl Chloride (VC). The chemicals are present at levels exceeding indoor air human health limits for vapor migration into current and future buildings. Further, TCE in groundwater has exceeded TCEQ limits for outdoor air exposures. It is notable that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is sufficiently concerned about TCE’s toxicity (and that of PCE and VC) that the agency is phasing out nearly all uses of this chemical. It is my opinion that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) inappropriately approved JBC’s request to cease Site cleanup and monitoring. The Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) Certificate of Completion granted to JBC means that they and future property owners have no further obligations to cleanup and protect on-site residents, visitors, and workers from cancer risks despite the potential that indoor and outdoor air quality could exceed human health safe limits. Regardless of TCEQ’s previous actions, future development plans for the JBC property should address these potential human health risks that likely will remain for decades unless the Site is properly remediated or building measures incorporated to prevent migration of toxic chemical gases into the buildings. In addition, the property owner should prevent outdoor air exposures, especially to workers who could contact contaminated soil and groundwater and breathe toxic vapors. Operational and Environmental History of the Site Dry cleaning operations …
Dear Mayor Watson, Council Members, and Planning Commissioners: 03.10.2026 I am writing regarding Case No. SP-2026-0048C.CP, the proposed redevelopment of the former Jack Brown Cleaners site and surrounding properties on Martin Luther King Blvd. While the project presents an ambitious vision for this gateway to Austin’s museum district and the University of Texas, two issues warrant careful consideration: the environmental condition of the site and the excessive height and scale being requested. Environmental Concern The neighborhood’s concern about the former dry-cleaner site has never been reactive. Since November 2024, we have sought clarity regarding the site’s environmental status. We support redevelopment and appreciate the recent willingness to collaborate, but the property’s 50+ year history as a dry cleaner requires continued caution, transparency, and accountability. Environmental records indicate that the most recent testing identified chlorinated solvent concentrations exceeding current residential screening levels, raising concerns for future residential redevelopment without additional evaluation or mitigation. We therefore seek a clear agreement for updated testing and, if necessary, additional remediation before demolition and redevelopment proceed. Compatibility in Scale & Height Second, we remain deeply concerned about the proposed height and scale. Two towers exceeding 400 feet would be clear outliers in relation to the surrounding area, the historic Judges Hill neighborhood, and the University of Texas Tower [307’]. The City and the neighborhood have long recognized, and agreed in the Downtown Austin Plan, to preserve and respect lower heights and appropriate transitions. Allowing this project to exceed those expectations would effectively rewrite established standards while the broader Central Business District planning process is still underway. For these reasons, I urge you to require a clear, enforceable process for any needed additional testing and remediation, and to accept the City staff’s 200-foot recommendation for this site. That approach would better respect the surrounding neighborhood, the historic edge of Judges Hill, and the City’s ongoing planning efforts. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Marisela Maddox Judges Hill resident 16 SP-2026-0048C.CP - W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard & Nueces Street; District 91 of 4 16 SP-2026-0048C.CP - W.
