Amos, Chair Mark Ashby, Jeff Callahan, Scott Campbell, Marc Carlson, Hunter Coleman, Evelyn Fujimoto, Adrienne Goldsberry, Nick Mehl, William Osborn, Charlie Rice, Paul Shattuck, Shawn Shillington March 5, 2026 City of Austin Planning Commission Austin City Hall 301 W. 2nd Street Austin, TX 78701 Re: Support for Rezoning Application – 1308 West Lynn (St. Luke United Methodist Church) – Case C14-2025-0109 – Item 10 Dear Chair Woods and Planning Commissioners, On behalf of the Old West Austin Neighborhood Association (OWANA), we are writing to express our support for the rezoning application for the property located at 1308 West Lynn and 1611 W 14th Streets, the former home of St. Luke United Methodist Since 1958, St. Luke United Methodist Church has been a cornerstone of the Old West Austin and Clarksville communities. 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 …

January 16, 2026 (revised 2/27/2026) To Whom it May Concern Sent by email only to: Megan Meisenbach at meganmeisenbach05@gmail.com Subject: Environmental Evaluation of Former Jack Brown Cleaners Site 615 W. 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 …
16 SP-2026-0048C.CP - W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard & Nueces Street; District 9 - Public Comment 2 — original pdf
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.

Item 8-CDC_Memo_Equity_Overlay_Consideration_3_10_26 — original pdf
To: Mayor and Members of the Austin City Council From: Austin Community Development Commission Date: March 10, 2026 Re: Completion of Council Charge Regarding Equity/Anti-Displacement Overlay Study Dear Mayor and Council Members, The Austin Community Development Commission (CDC) appreciates the opportunity to review the final presentation of the Austin Equity Overlay Study delivered to our Commission on February 10, 2026. We recognize the significant work undertaken to analyze displacement risk, community concerns, and potential anti-displacement strategies related to the HOME Phase 2 Ordinance. However, after careful review, the Commission finds that the original Council charge has not been fully satisfied. Council directed staff to “study the feasibility, merits, and risks of applying an equity/anti- displacement overlay and the impacts that such an overlay could have on affordability, displacement, and property values.” While the presentation reiterates this charge (see Project Understanding, p.3), the analysis seems to have focused on an analysis of existing policies, displacement risk and programmatic recommendations to displace risk. While these may be valuable analyses, they do not encompass the original directive to specifically explore an overlay to the ordinance, focused on mitigating displacement. At no point does the report analyze the feasibility, legal considerations, implementation mechanics, fiscal implications, or property value impacts of establishing a geographic equity overlay. The omission is particularly significant given the study’s own findings: • • “H.O.M.E. permits are more frequent in lower-value submarkets, generally east of I-35” (p.16). “Approximately 70% of H.O.M.E. permits on properties without homestead exemptions show development indicators, mostly concentrated east of downtown, in primarily Active Displacement Risk census tracts” (p.16) • The displacement risk typology identifies areas classified as Vulnerable, Active Risk, and Chronic Risk (p.15) These findings underscore the importance of evaluating targeted mitigation tools. Yet the report does not assess whether an equity overlay could serve as such a tool, nor does it examine its potential impacts. The Commission is concerned that without completing the feasibility component of the charge: 1. Council’s directive remains unfulfilled; 2. The City’s equity commitments risk appearing incomplete; and 3. Community trust may be further eroded, particularly in neighborhoods historically affected by gentrification and displacement. This concern is procedural as well as substantive. The presentation does not acknowledge that the scope was narrowed, nor does it explain that the overlay feasibility analysis was not undertaken. Given the public interest surrounding HOME Phase 2 and its impacts, transparency regarding the scope and …
