PROPOSED CHANGES TO ARTICLE 14 (PARKLAND DEDICATION) ADDING COMMERCIAL PARKLAND DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS DRAFT SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL CHANGES VERSION TWO ARTICLE 14. PARKLAND DEDICATION.1 § 25-1-601 GENERAL PROVISIONS. (A) The City of Austin has determined that recreational areas in the form of public parks are necessary for the well-being of residents and employees. The City has further determined that the approval of new residential and commercial development is reasonably related to the need for additional parkland and park amenities to serve new development. This article establishes a fair method for determining parkland dedication, or the payment of a fee in-lieu of dedication, to be required as a condition to the approval of new development in an amount proportionate to the impact of development on existing parks and established levels of service. (B) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the parkland dedication requirements of this article apply to: (1) a residential and commercial subdivision within the planning jurisdiction; a site plan within the zoning jurisdiction that includes residential units or commercial square footage [a hotel-motel use]; and a [residential]building permit for residential and commercial development, as provided under Section 25-1-608 (Dedication of Land or Payment In-Lieu at Building Permit). (C) The following are exempt from the requirements of this article: a subdivision or site plan for which parkland was previously dedicated or payment made under this title, except for the dwelling units or commercial square footage [lots] that exceed the number for which dedication or payment was made; (2) development within the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction that is within Travis County and governed by Title 30 (Austin/Travis County Subdivision Regulations); and (3) affordable dwelling units that are certified under the S.M.A.R.T. Housing Policy approved by the city council. (2) (3) (1) (D) The following definitions apply throughout this article: (1) ANNUAL OCCUPANCY RATE means the hotel-motel occupancy rate for the City of Austin, as reported annually by the Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office. (2) COMMERCIAL OCCUPANCY RATE means the City of Austin’s current commercial occupancy rate as determined annually by the director annually using the most recent data from the Austin Chamber of Commerce or a comparable source if deemed appropriate by the director. (3) COMMUTER POPULATION PERCENTAGE means the percentage of employees who live outside the City of Austin’s corporate limits, as determined by the most recent United States Census. 1Editor's note(s)—Ord. No. 20160128-086, Pt. 2, adopted February 8, 2016 …
DRAFT 2022-2023 Commuter Commercial Parkland Fee Calculation Methodology In 2022 the City Council approved Ordinance XXXXXXXXXX which created a formula to determine the commercial fees required in-lieu of parkland dedication. The Ordinance requires an annual adoption of the parkland dedication fees during the annual fee schedule process. The fee calculation methodologies are established in § 25-X-XXX The below 2022-2023 fees reflect the Council approved calculation methodology to be adopted annually. Several of the variables in the formula are static from year to year, including the square feet per person and the operations hours. Some of the variables will be reevaluated each year based on publicly available data, such as the occupancy rate and the percent commuter workforce, as well as the fees-in-lieu of parkland land dedication and park development. The only variable in the above formula that is unique to the new development is the total square feet of the development. Variables Calculation Factor Description Parkland Level of Service Service Population / Park Acres Fee In-Lieu of Land 96.70 Service Population per 1 acre Park Acres City Population 10,086.32 Park Acres (excludes Metro and District Parks) Parkland Cost Factor $365,653.44 per acre 975,321 (2021 Population) Current City Population Average land cost of acres purchased over the last five years Park Development 4,046.98 Service Population per park Facilities Level of Service Service Population / Number of Developed Parks Number of Developed Parks City Population Park Development Cost Factor 241 975,321 (2021 Population) $1,423,928.42 Count of all developed parks Current city population Cost of developing one Neighborhood Park Functional Population Office Employee Density 300 sq ft /person Office Occupancy 0.92 Office Operation Hours 0.238 Retail Employee Density 550 sq ft / person Retail Occupancy Retail Operation Hours 0.95 0.375 U.S. Green Building Council estimate of the square feet per person in LEED BD+C: New Constructionv4 - LEED v4.

Updated : 6/27/22 --Draft: Study of Parkland Dedication Requirements for Commercial Uses-- This study provides an overview of parkland dedication as it pertains to retail, industrial, and office uses, as directed by City Council in Resolution No. 20220407-042, passed April 7th, 2022. This Study, produced by the Parks and Recreation Department, outlines the applicability of creating a new ordinance to require parkland dedication for commuters of commercial developments and outlines the methodology behind said ordinance. This Study may be used as the basis for creating a parkland dedication commuter commercial ordinance, for review and approval by City Council after a public and stakeholder engagement period. Purpose Parkland is an essential city service that affords well documented economic, recreational, physical, and mental health benefits to its users (see research conducted by RigolonError! Hyperlink reference not valid. 2022, who cite CromptonError! Hyperlink reference not valid. 2019, and Markevych, et al. 2017). The current parkland dedication ordinance is a critical tool that allows the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) to mitigate the impact of new users on the park level of service for the people of Austin in accordance with goals and mandates set forth in the City Charter, City Council Resolution 20091119-068, Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan, and the PARD Long Range Plan. Parks provide recreational opportunities, create community, preserve the city’s character and natural resources, contribute to economic growth and tourism, increase transportation opportunities, and keep Austin beautiful. Parkland dedication requires new developments to account for their direct impact on the existing park system, thereby addressing several of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan’s key goals including : “Expanding Transportation Choices” in Austin. “Tackling the Ethnic Divide”, “Prosperity for All”, “Protecting Our Natural Resources” and “Preserving Livability” by providing consistent parkland under rapidly changing development conditions. On February 25, 2020, the Parks and Recreation Board passed Recommendation 20200225-B3, which included the provision that commercial developments be subject to parkland dedication requirements. On March 28, 2022, the Parks and Recreation Board reaffirmed its support to require parkland dedication for office, retail, and industrial developments in Recommendation 20220328-B5. Enacting this provision would better provide parkland to Austin’s growing workforce; currently, 58% of the workforce commute from outside the city limits, and as such are not served by the existing parkland dedication ordinance, which only addresses the impact of full-time residential and hotel developments. Research shows that access to parkland is directly connected to an individual’s …
Austin Parks and Recreation Department Presentation on: Parkland Dedication Requirements for Commercial Developments Paul Books, Planner III; Robynne Heymans, Planner Senior; Thomas Rowlinson, Principal Planner; Randy Scott, Program Manager - Parks and Recreation Department July 20th, 2022 1 Context - Chronology • On February 25, 2020, the Parks and Recreation Board passed Recommendation 20200225-B3, which included the provision that commercial developments be subject to parkland dedication requirements. February 2020 • On March 28, 2022, The Parks and Recreation Board reaffirmed its support to require parkland dedication for office, industrial, and commercial developments in Recommendation 20220328-B5. March 2022 • On April 7, 2022, City Council passed Resolution 20220407-042 directing City Staff to require parkland dedication for office, industrial and commercial developments. April 2022 2 Applicability – Essential Nexus • Regulation must be related "both in nature and extent to the impact of a proposed development" (essential nexus, established in U.S. Supreme Court decision Nollan v. California Coastal Commission, 1987) • Growth in the commercial sector leads to increases in the City’s overall population and workforce, both users of the City’s parks system. • The National Recreation and Park Association has documented the role parks play in company locations and workforce growth. • By including commercial development into parkland dedication, the City would be able to better provide proportionate recreation services to the workforce near their places of employment. 3 3 Applicability – Rough Proportionality • Parkland level of service must • Only the 58% of Austin's workforce account for the impact the workforce has on parks. The additional workforce that enters Austin affects the current level of service. • The current level of service is set at 9.4 acres per 1,000 people. • The estimated workforce is then discounted by occupancy rates and hours of operation, to better reflect the potential park usage. that commute in from outside jurisdictions are assessed for parkland dedication requirements, eliminating any 'double counting' of existing residents who also work in Austin. 426,301 307,029 4 Chart shows number of: Non-residents commuting into Austin for work Austin residents working in Austin - not subject to Commercial PLD Source: U.S. Census OnTheMap, LEHD 2019 4 Proposed Formula Required Parkland = 9.4 acres X Functional Population 1,000 people • 9.4 acres per 1,000 people equals the established parks level of service • Functional Population • The estimated commuter workforce of a new development discounted by their relative opportunity to …
Commercial Parkland Dedication Stakeholder and Advocate Responses 7/15/2022 Page 1 Category affordability Question Have you done an economic impact statement to measure the affordability impact of this proposed additional fee? $2 psf for office is not small and creates concern that office rents will be raised impacting jobs and pay rates. Response City Code § 2-5-2 states the that city manager shall prepare a fiscal note for a proposed ordinance, resolution, or policy that could create an expense for the City, including a modification to the City's budget, a capital improvement project, or a council initiated matter before it is submitted to the council. To clarify, the combined per square foot fee for office is $1.75. This fee would have a positive impact on the city's budget by accounting for the impact to the park system caused by new commercial development. PARD shall confirm with the Housing and Planning Department on the issuance of an Economic Impact Statement regarding affordability. affordability In the different categories, are there any excluded categories? Different types of businesses that don’t have to do parkland dedication? We are still evaluating the applicability of the ordinance based on stakeholder and survey feedback. Draft ordinance outlines an exemption for civic uses including but not limited to schools, governmental agencies, and hospitals: "(4) civic uses as defined in Section 25-2-6 (Civic Uses)." affordability In the office example, what is the proportion of the impact of the fees to the overall cost of the office development? affordability affordability Can you provide a list of all COA development related fees in addition to proposed commercial PLD fee, including a Brief explanation/estimate/range of what a developer would pay for each of the fees. Any language about why fees are not the reason for "affordability issues." What percent of the total project cost the PLD fees would be. According to a proforma prepared by Cummings in 2021, cost per square foot to build a typical commercial building is anywhere between $148/sq ft - $657/sq ft, depending on the construction type, in Dallas, Texas. This estimate only accounts for ‘hard costs’ of construction, not the land acquisition, building design or contractor/developer overhead. Cost of parkland dedication fees currently range from $0.63/sq ft to $1.75/sq ft depending on the commercial building category. This is equivalent to about 0.27- 0.42% of the ‘hard costs’. The Development Services Website lists several fee schedules for different types …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET TO: GR-MU DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2022-0037 (3131 E Howard Lane) ADDRESS: 3131 East Howard Lane ZONING FROM: W/LO SITE AREA: 1.6 acres (69,696 sq. ft.) PROPERTY OWNER: Peter Pham Phuong CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends LR-MU, Neighborhood Commercial-Mixed Use Combining District, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 19, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 10B-1 C14-2022-0037 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently undeveloped. It was annexed by the City of Austin on December 31, 2007 (Case C7a-07-024) and received permanent W/LO zoning through zoning case C14-2016-0119. The lots to the north across E. Howard Lane have an interim zoning designation, I-SF-4A, and are developed with a single family residences (Cantarra Residential Subdivision). To the south, there is undeveloped land that is zoned W/LO. To the east there is a platted single family residential subdivision that is designated as Mixed Density Residential in the Pioneer Crossing PUD. The tract of land directly to the west is zoned W/LO and there are parcels of land located in the county. The applicant is requesting Community Commercial-Mixed Use District, zoning to develop condominium residential and retail uses on the property. The staff is recommending LR-MU, Neighborhood Commercial-Mixed Use Combining District, zoning for this site. The site under consideration meets the intent of the LR-MU district. The proposed LR-MU zoning will allow for low intensity commercial and residential uses on a tract of land that fronts onto an arterial roadway, East Howard Lane. The zoning will provide a transition across Howard Lane, to the planned residential uses to the north in the platted Cantarra Residential Neighborhood and to the east to the Mixed Residential Area in the Pioneer Crossing PUD. As the property is not located at an intersection, with more than one access point, LR-MU is more appropriate zoning designation adjacent to existing low density residential uses and office zoning. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Neighborhood Commercial district is intended for neighborhood shopping facilities which provide limited business service and office facilities predominately for the convenience of residents of the neighborhood. Mixed Use combining district is intended for combination with selected base districts, in order to permit any combination of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. 2. …

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 19, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 13B-2 C14-2022-0074 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is undeveloped and moderately vegetated. This 6.182 acre tract of land is located near the intersection of Avery Ranch Boulevard and North Lake Creek Parkway. To the north and east, there are single-family residential lots (zoned PUD as part of the Avery Ranch Planned Unit Development). To the south of the site, there is undeveloped land and an office complex and state offices (Texas Department of Transportation Cedar Park Campus). The tract of land to the west is developed with a new multifamily residential complex (Avery Oaks Apartments). The applicant is requesting zoning to MF-4 to permit the development of an additional 164 multifamily residential units in this area. The staff recommends MF-4, Multifamily Residence-Moderate-High Density, District zoning because the property meets the purpose statement of the district. This tract of land is located adjacent to existing MF-4 zoning at the intersection of two arterial roadways, Avery Ranch Boulevard and North Lake Creek Parkway. The MF-4 zoning is compatible and consistent with the surrounding uses because there is MF-4 zoning to the south and west of the site. The property is located within the Transition zone of the Northwest Park & Ride Town Center Transit Oriented Development District (TOD) and by the Lakeline Station Regional Center as identified on the Growth Concept Map in the Image Austin Comprehensive Plan. MF-4 zoning will allow for additional housing opportunities in this area of the City adjacent to a planned transit oriented development (TOD) that will access onto the proposed extension of North Lake Creek Parkway. 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. Multifamily Residence (Moderate-High Density) district is intended to accommodate multifamily and group residential use with a maximum density of 36 to 54 units per acre, depending on …

ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 TO: LI CASE: C14-2022-0043 – 8110 Springdale Road ZONING FROM: I-RR ADDRESS: 8110 Springdale Road SITE AREA: 1.959 acres (85,334 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: RCI Holdings, Inc. AGENT: St Elmo Brewing LLC (Bryan Winslow) CASE MANAGER: Michael Dietz; michael.dietz@austintexas.gov; (512) 974-7617 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant limited industrial services (LI) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see the Case Manager Comments section of this report. ZONING AND PLATTING ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 19, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 1, 2022 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of one platted lot, which is located near the intersection of Springdale Road and Tuscany Way, south of U.S Route 290. The site is currently zoned as interim rural residence (I-RR), representing a low-density residential zoning designation assigned as part of the property’s annexation in December 2004 (Ordinance No. 041118-13). A creek abuts the rear property lines, flowing approximately north to south. The subject site is mostly rectangular in shape, although the southwest corner juts inward, likely due to the curvature of the creek. The site is currently developed with a vacant two- 1 of 9B-5 C14-2022-0043 Page 2 story commercial building and large parking lot, with a concrete wall towards the rear to separate the parking lot from the vegetated area near the creek. Numerous trees are located towards the front of the property and along the northern property line. Springdale Road is partially within the Austin city limits, but also runs outside of the city limits; the area immediately to the south of the subject property is within the City’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). The portions of Springdale Road that are within the city limits feature primarily industrial uses, although there are also pockets of low-density residential uses and a small commercial corridor along U.S. Route 290. There are light industrial uses, including a truck rental business and plumbing supply store, to the north and west of the subject site (LI- CO). An undeveloped property zoned for low-density residential uses is to the east, across the road from the subject property (I-RR), although that property is surrounded by other properties zoned for limited industrial uses. The property to the south is undeveloped and is not located within the city limits. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial …
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 TO: P CASE: C14-2022-0063 – Walnut Creek WWTP Expansion ZONING FROM: SF-2 ADDRESS: 8001 Delwau Lane SITE AREA: 1.0226 acres (44,546 square feet) PROPERTY OWNER: City of Austin – Water Department AGENT: Rebecca Vento, P.E. CASE MANAGER: Michael Dietz; michael.dietz@austintexas.gov; (512) 974-7617 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant public (P) district zoning. For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see the Case Manager Comments section of this report. ZONING AND PLATTING ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 19, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 1, 2022 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of one unplatted lot, which is located south of Delwau Lane, near the property at 8400 Delwau Lane, and is currently zoned as single family – standard lot (SF-2). It appears that access to the property was historically taken from an unpaved driveway off of Delwau Lane. However, it should also be noted that the 1995 field notes submitted by the applicant include a sketch that indicates the presence of an “apparent private right-of-way easement” on the west side of the property, near a house that no longer exists on-site, indicating that some site access may have been taken from the adjacent property to the west in the past, as well. 1 of 7B-6 C14-2022-0063 Page 2 According to the agent, the existing property features existing infrastructure for the Walnut Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (“WWTP”), although most of the infrastructure is located below the finished grade. In particular, the subject site features an outfall structure, where a 96’’ subterranean effluent pipe terminates and discharges into the Colorado River. The subject site is mostly rectangular in shape and is currently undeveloped, aside from the aforementioned wastewater treatment infrastructure, most of which is underground. A 5-foot- wide electric easement bifurcates the site, running from the north property line to the east property line. Delwau Lane features a broad range of uses, including residential, commercial, industrial, and public land uses of varying intensities. There is a vehicular racetrack designed for motorsports, although the business operating the track has since closed, located primarily to the northeast. The parcels comprising the track feature different zoning designations (GO, LI, GR, and IP). To the east, more land is owned by the City of Austin and used for the Walnut Creek WWTP (P); this land is also to the …

For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see the Case Manager Comments section of this report. ZONING AND PLATTING ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 19, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: September 1, 2022 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of one platted lot, which is located near the intersection of Bluff Springs Road and Tranquilo Trail and is currently zoned as single family – small lot – conditional overlay (SF-4A-CO) district (C14-98-0224 – Ordinance No. 990506-65). The Conditional Overlay serves to restrict the project site and all other existing and previously authorized uses within the combining district to a maximum cumulative total of 2,000 vehicular trips per day and also to prohibit vehicular access from the subject property to Dakota Lane. 1 of 8B-7 C14-2022-0067 Page 2 It should also be noted that a Longhorn Pipeline gas easement is recorded over the subject property, as verified by the submitted survey. The easement requires a 50-foot building setback from the gas lines and additional building construction and design standards may be required for the proposed residential units, including the installation of fire sprinklers, a restriction on the proposed locations of windows, and limitations on construction materials designed to ensure that fire-resistive materials are used. The subject site is mostly triangular in shape and is currently undeveloped. Bluff Springs Road primarily features residential uses of varying densities. There are apartments to the west of the site (CS-MU-CO), single-family residences to the north and east (SF-4A-CO), and an automotive repair use to the south (I-RR). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). The applicant has requested townhouse & condominium (SF-6) district zoning. The application indicates that the applicant intends to construct seven residential units on the property. The SF-6 district does not establish a maximum density or floor area ratio for each lot. However, the district does identify a maximum building height of 35 feet and a maximum building coverage of 40%. The …

At that time, the City of Austin attached TIA requirements via conditional overlay (CO) instead of via public restrictive covenant (RC). Staff recommends that the property remain subject to the TIA; City of Austin Law Department will determine whether a CO or RC is appropriate to tie the TIA to the property. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The subject property is located at the southeast corner of Dessau Road and Arborside Drive. The undeveloped property is currently zoned MF-3-CO, with the CO attaching TIA requirements as described in the Issues section. An unconstructed road right-of-way (ROW) is along the south side of the property (Edgeworth Bend), and unnamed streets are located along the east property lines. Property to the south and southeast is zoned MF-4 and includes undeveloped land and multifamily land uses. East of the rezoning tract are undeveloped SF-6-CO tracts; further northeast of the property are SF-6-CO tracts that are developed with small lot single family residences. Across Arborside Drive to the north is undeveloped land zoned MF-3-CO. Across Dessau Road to the west is a single family neighborhood zoned SF-3-NP.

MEMORANDUM Date: To: CC: Reference: Transportation Impact Analysis Final Memo June 27, 2022 Santiago Araque, P.E., Kimley-Horn and Associates. Inc. Bryan Golden, Maria Cardenas, Austin Transportation Department Alta Blue Goose Zoning Case Number C14-2021-0194C Summary of the Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA): Austin Transportation Department (ATD) has reviewed the “Alta Blue Goose TIA” dated February 18, 2022, and the subsequent update received on April 14, 2022 prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. The proposed development is in Travis County, north of Blue Goose Road between Cameron Road and Harris Branch Parkway in the City of Austin Extra Territorial Jurisdiction, as shown in Figure 2. The site is currently on land being rezoned and annexed concurrently. The development is anticipated to contain 890 single-family dwelling units and a 300,000 square foot commercial shopping center. The project includes the future alignment of Braker Lane as per the ASMP and the future realignment of Blue Goose Road. It should be noted that the section of Blue Goose Road that is proposed to be realigned is in Travis County jurisdiction. The existing site is vacant and is expected to be built in one phase. It is estimated that the full buildout will be completed in the year 2024. A TIA was performed for this zoning case to better understand the existing and future traffic patterns in the surrounding area and to identify any potential impacts from the introduction of traffic associated with the proposed development. The site proposes access onto future Braker Lane, which is classified as a Level 3 collector street with 120 feet of required right- of-way. Braker Lane is anticipated to be a 4-lane roadway with approximately 26 feet of pavement width for vehicular travel lanes, 2 lanes in each direction, a buffered bike lane, and sidewalk on both sides. The roadway will be divided by a median of approximately 14 feet width from face of curb to face of curb. Bike lanes and 6-foot sidewalks will be adjacent to the road, divided by a 4-foot-wide buffer in both directions of travel. Figure 1: Future Braker Lane Page 1 of 6 As a transportation condition of approval for the above referenced zoning application, the applicant shall comply with the recommendations below: 1. Dedicate 120 feet of right-of-way per the ASMP for future Braker Lane at the time of final plat. 2. Design and construct Braker Lane extension and the realignment of Blue …

Zoning and Platting Commission Resolution (King version 2) Floodplain Commercial Redevelopment Exception Code Amendments Whereas the new National Oceanic Atmospheric Association “NOAA” ATLAS 14 rainfall information indicated increased rainfall levels within the City of Austin and the city adopted new regulations in an effort to protect the residents from flooding based on a better understanding of flood risk with this new rainfall information; and, Whereas the Austin City Council directed City staff, boards, and commissions to initiate public processes to consider proposed code amendments to City floodplain regulations based on Atlas 14 floodplain data; and Whereas The City of Austin contacted more than 2,700 people at 110 different meetings and following that outreach on November 14, 2019 the City of Austin adopted new regulations with four basic elements: • Floodplain definitions, • Residential redevelopment exception, • Colorado River exception, • Increased Freeboard, and Whereas A significant number of residential and commercial properties are in the floodplain and that number increased when the new Atlas 14 regulations were adopted; and Whereas the key goals of the code amendments are to increase public safety and decrease flood risks; and, Whereas the City Council and City of Austin are committed to equity in the development and implementation of land development policies and code amendments. Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission encourages the City Council to consider the following recommendations regarding the proposed floodplain commercial redevelopment exception code amendments: 1. Direct the City Manager to provide annual public updates on the following recommendations from the Flood Mitigation Task Force: a. City Council should conduct a periodic (e.g. every 5 years) financial and organizational audit of the Watershed Protection Department to evaluate staffing resource allocations, program effectiveness, and the successful implementation of master plan goals and objectives, b. The City should not grant variances for development or redevelopment that may lead to future flooding or annex property that may already be a flood concern, c. Work with city, state, and county authorities to continue to restrain development in 100- year floodplains, 2.

Zoning and Platting Commission Resolution Floodplain Commercial Redevelopment Exception Code Amendments Whereas the new National Oceanic Atmospheric Association “NOAA” ATLAS 14 rainfall information indicated increased rainfall levels within the City of Austin and the city adopted new regulations in an effort to protect the residents from flooding based on a better understanding of flood risk with this new rainfall information; and, Whereas The City of Austin contacted more than 2,700 people at 110 different meetings and following that outreach on November 14, 2019 the City of Austin adopted new regulations with four basic elements: • Floodplain definitions • Residential redevelopment exception • Colorado River exception; and • Increased Freeboard Whereas There are a significant number of residential and commercial properties that are in the flood plain and that number increased when the new Atlas 14 regulations were adopted; and Whereas The City has a goal to Create an administrative approval process for commercial redevelopment that decreases flood risk compared to the existing conditions Whereas the City Council and City of Austin are committed to equity in the development and implementation of land development policies and code amendments. Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission encourages the City Council to consider the following recommendations regarding the proposed floodplain commercial redevelopment exception code amendments: 1. The administrative approval process for a commercial building in the flood plain should be adopted if: a. Replaces or modifies an existing commercial building b. Finished floor elevation is at least 2 feet above the 100-year floodplain c. Does not increase the building square footage on the property d. Does not include the following uses: i. E (educational); ii. F (Factory iii. H (High Hazard) iv. I (Institutional) e. Does not increase the number or flood level of parking spaces within the flood plain on the property unless otherwise required; and f. No adverse Flooding Impact 2. Direct the City Manager to provide annual public reports on the efficacy of floodplain redevelopment exceptions and the goals to increase public safety and decrease flood risks in floodplains, and
Improving Connectivity Resolution Zoning and Platting Commission Whereas; Priority Program 1 in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan calls for “investment in a compact and connected city through the coordination of capital investments, incentives, and regulations;” and Whereas; according to the 2020 Imagine Austin Compact and Connected Indicators, developed land area, annual unlinked transit passenger trips, vehicle miles traveled per capita, percentage of trips by biking and walking, and transportation system total annual delay are all “headed in the wrong direction;” and Whereas; fatalities, serious injuries, and total crashes in Austin have increased year over year in the Austin area since 2018; and Whereas; designing communities with options for bicycling and walking increases opportunities for physical activity, especially for children and families; and Whereas; car ownership in Texas costs almost $10,000 a year; and Whereas; dead-end streets and disconnected networks increase vehicle miles traveled and time spent in the car, which have been associated with obesity, decreased opportunities for active travel, stress, impacts on mental health, less time to spend with family and friends, and less time to engage in community activities. Whereas, connected street networks help reduce traffic on major thoroughfares, are cheaper to build and maintain; and Whereas a connected street grid makes walking, biking, and transit use more desirable options; and Whereas, the way streets are laid out now determines the pattern for future growth; and Whereas subdivisions with too few access streets results in dangerous situations in the event of flooding or wildfires; and Therefore, be it resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission recommend that the Austin City Council seek to revise and amend Land Development Code sections § 25-4-151 through § 25-4-157 to meet the intent of Imagine Austin Priority Program and seek to enhance connectivity and affordability in new subdivision design; and Be it further resolved that the proposed changes recommended by the Zoning and Platting Commission are: 1. § 25-4-151 – Require connections and alignment of all stub out streets of a new subdivision to existing or proposed streets. If street connection infeasible, provide connection through a multi- use trail; and 2. § 25-4-152 – Prohibit dead-end streets and/or cul-de-sacs unless the director determines that topography, natural features, or unusual conditions make connection to an existing or proposed street infeasible; and 3. § 25-4-152 – If allowed by the director, a dead-end street and/or cul-de-sac must be no longer than 300 feet and …
