In addition, the information/reports for each listed task are attached to this letter report. The objective of the karst survey was to evaluate the structural development, subgrade extent, and habitat potential for endangered karst invertebrates at approximately 1 geologic feature (F-1). This feature is a subsurface void covered by a storm sewer lid located along the eastern property boundary of Luby’s along the southbound service road for the MoPac Expressway.

I am not able to attend the hearing but would like to register my objection to this rezoning application. I have lived at 8228 Summer Place Drive for over 30 years and am aware of the traffic patterns and problems surrounding the property at 8176 N. Mopac Expressway SVRD SB. I feel re-zoning this property from LR (Neighborhood Commercial district) to MF-6 (Multifamily Residence (Highest Density)) is inappropriate. I want to thank the Zoning and Platting Commission for soliciting input from residents within the area. I think this is a wise and important step in the evaluation process. In conclusion, I object to the rezoning and want to urge the Zoning and Platting Commission to deny the request. Respectfully yours, Mark Walsh 8228 Summer Place Dr. Austin, Tx, 78759 Daytime telephone: 512-343-1414 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

From: To: Subject: Date: Susan Summers Sirwaitis, Sherri Objections to zoning change Monday, August 2, 2021 3:39:20 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Sirwaitis, I write to record my opposition to the proposed zoning change for the Luby’s property at the Mopac-Steck intersection. I believe that a combination of decreased business for Luby’s and diminished traffic due to the pandemic have caused a false picture of traffic conditions in the area. I have been familiar with this area for 33 years. Ingress and egress at this property have always been extremely problematic. My first point: when Luby’s was a “going” business, people going west on Steck would turn left across eastbound traffic to enter the parking lot. This caused long and frustrating waits for people in the cars behind them. A densely populated apartment house will once again make this a problem. Second, at peak times one can wait through 2 traffic lights in the left lane when headed east on …
Zoning and Platting Commission Q & A Report B-06 C14-2021-0100 - Luby's Site; District 10 Commissioner Thompson: A quick internet search indicated that this property falls within the habitat map for karst invertebrates within the BCP. We’ve also received some materials suggesting historical presence of karst invertebrates in the Dead Dog cave beneath the property. What are the requirements to survey and mitigate for impacts to listed karst invertebrates within the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve? Staff Response: to authorities for certain projects per LDC 25-8-691 through 25-8-696. The applicant will need to work with appropriate authorities, either in the BCP or Fish and Wildlife, to ensure compliance with the Endangered Species Act. WPD staff will review the project for compliance with Critical Environmental Feature requirements per 25-8-281 when a site plan is submitted. Commissioner Denkler / Applicant response in red: Has the applicant or property owner had any discussions with the city regarding the affordable housing? Because the applicant is not seeking VMU overlay and is not in a regulating plan or downtown, there is no City program tied to rezoning that requires affordable housing and the City cannot independently require affordability. Instead, the applicant has voluntarily offered to provide income-restricted units for 40 years. Is the applicant using any government or private financing to finance or build the 28 units? (Application says they are not proposing Smart Housing.) The applicant has not indicated that there are any government subsidies associated with the redevelopment and instead has indicated that these Affordable Units would be privately financed. Are the 28 units proposed as rental units or for purchase and for how long? How would the city guarantee this, through a contract or public restrictive covenant? The applicant has indicated that the redevelopment will be for rental units and that 10% of the units would remain affordable for 40 years. Because the City cannot require affordability in this case, the applicant has indicated that it will be entering private restrictive covenants with NWACA (neighborhood association) and HomeBase (Habitat affiliate).

https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-07-30-cdc-fda-faked-covid-testing-protocol-by-using-human-cells- mixed-with-common-cold-virus.html# BREAKING: CDC, FDA faked “covid” testing protocol by using human cells mixed with common cold virus fragments… PCR tests are merely detecting the common cold Friday, July 30, 2021 by: Mike Adams (Natural News) In a shocking revelation first reported by Dan Dicks of Press for Truth (Canada) FDA document admits that the CDC and FDA conspired to fabricate a covid-19 testing protocol using human cells combined with common cold virus fragments because they had no physical samples of the SARS-CoV-2 “covid” virus available. , an Without physical reference material to use for calibration and confirmation, the test has zero scientific basis in physical reality. And all the PCR analysis based on this protocol is utterly fraudulent, flagging people as “positive” for covid when they merely possess tiny quantities of RNA fragments from other coronavirus strains circulating in their blood. The FDA document, available from the FDA.gov website, is entitled, “CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel .” The document astonishingly admits: (emphasis ours), Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV were available for CDC use at the time the test was developed and this study conducted, assays designed for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full length RNA (N gene; GenBank accession: MN908947.2) of known titer (RNA copies/µL) spiked into a diluent consisting of a suspension of human A549 cells and viral transport medium (VTM) to mimic clinical specimen. In other words, they had no covid virus from which to develop and calibrate the test, so they mixed up a cocktail of human cells and RNA fragments from a common cold virus, then called it “covid.” The GenBank sequence referred to in this paragraph is simply a digital library definition that’s labeled “covid” but has no supporting reference materials in physical reality either. That’s because no doctor or researcher has isolated “covid” from any infected, symptomatic patient. As a result, no laboratory instruments can be calibrated against actual covid, and the tests simply rely on digital libraries pushed out by the CDC and WHO, using “covid” as the label. The PCR tests are then instructed to look for these genetic sequences obtained from the fabricated digital libraries, meaning the entire scheme is junk science circular logic with no basis in physical reality. Why are there seemingly no certified reference materials for covid available to laboratories for instrument …
https://www.infowars.com/posts/shock-doctor-warns-that-majority-of-vaccinated-patients-could-have- permanent-heart-damage-some-may-die-within-three-years/ Shock: Doctor Warns That Majority Of Vaccinated Patients Could Have Permanent Heart Damage, Some May Die Within Three Years by Adan Salazar - July 22nd 2021, 7:34 am Dr. Charles Hoffe found 62% percent of patients who received COVID mRNA jab test positive for blood clots...'The concern...is those people will probably all develop right-sided heart failure within three years and die because they now have increased vascular resistance through their lungs. A Canadian doctor demands further study into the link between Covid-19 vaccines and blood clots after his research found clots in a majority of vaccinated patients, some of whom he says could be dead within three years. During a Zoom meeting with other medical professionals, Dr. Charles Hoffe explained he’s been running a study on recently vaccinated patients, having them take D- dimer blood tests to determine whether they have blood clots. [WATCH THE 9:21 VIDEO EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LINK] “So far I’ve got 62 percent positive elevated D-dimer, which means that the blood clots are not rare,” Hoffe informed fellow physicians. “That’s what the so-called experts keep telling us: ‘The clots are rare.’ The big ones are rare, but the small ones are clearly happening in the majority of people, 62 percent.” Dr. Hoffe says the clots, which could number in the thousands and are hard to detect due to their microscopic size, are caused by messenger RNA molecules in the vaccine which cause spike proteins to form, which in turn attach to the cell walls of a cell impeding blood flow and damaging blood vessels. So normally the cells that surround your blood vessels have to be very, very smooth to enable good and unimpeded flow of blood, but as soon as you’ve got all these little spike proteins that become part of the cell wall it’s now a rough surface. It’s going to be like a very coarse sandpaper. It’s now what the platelets are going to interpret as a damaged vessel. It’s no longer smooth. It’s rough. So clotting is inevitable because the platelets that come down that vessel are going to hit a rough spot and assume this must be a damaged vessel. This vessel needs to be blocked to stop the bleeding. That’s how our clotting works. So…because of this and because of the nature of this, clots are inevitable, because of these spike proteins in the capillary networks. The damaged …
https://www.infowars.com/posts/oops-fda-accidentally-shows-list-of-covid-vaccine-side-effects- including-myocarditis-autoimmune-disease-death/ Oops! FDA Accidentally Reveals List of Covid Vaccine Side Effects, Including Myocarditis, Autoimmune Disease & Death by Adan Salazar July 30th 2021, 3:58 pm An FDA slideshow presentation regarding Covid vaccines last year accidentally displayed a long list of possible adverse reactions to the vaccine, including myocarditis, seizures and even death. The slide, showing the FDA’s draft list of “possible adverse event outcomes,” appeared briefly during a public meeting by the US Food and Drug Administration’s Product Advisory Committee on Oct, 22, 2020 reviewing the safety and efficacy of Covid-19 vaccines. While adverse events were generally discussed throughout the meeting, the slide’s contents were not covered in-depth. The meeting came as the FDA was considering granting emergency use authorization to Pfizer and Biontech’s experimental jab. Despite the long list of known possible side effects, the FDA later granted Pfizer emergency use authorization on December 11, 2020, about two months after the meeting. During the same meeting, a similar list of adverse reactions also appeared briefly during deputy director of the Immunization Safety Office at the CDC Tom Shimabukuro’s presentation (at around 2:06:29.
APD and CAP METRO video evidence against David R. Harris (Operator ID# 300230) Look first at Officer Guadarrama’s body cam footage (AXON BODY 3 X6039BFER) from 7:42:56 AM to 7:43:11 AM, corresponding to 13:17 - 13:31 (thirteen minutes, seventeen seconds to thirteen minutes, thirty-one seconds) within the body cam footage. Officer Guadarrama said to bus driver Harris, “He (León) claimed that when he was off the bus you went…”, demonstrating a throat-slashing motion to bus driver Harris. Bus driver Harris responded, verbally telling Officer Guadarrama, “I told him ‘Get on off the bus and just stay off the bus’”, and non-verbally using his right hand/arm to make a bold, strong motion from his chest outward to non-verbally back up what the he was telling Officer Guadarrama. For clarity and the record, Officer Guadarrama then mimics Harris’s motion from his chest outward, to which Harris says “Yeah”, meaning Harris was verbally confirming to Officer Guadarrama that he (Harris) was claiming that he (Harris) used his right hand/arm to make a bold, strong motion from his chest outward only. Officer Guadarrama then re-demonstrates the throat slash gesture to Harris, who says “Nah”, meaning Harris explicitly told Officer Guadarrama that he (Harris) did NOT make a throat-slashing motion. Officer Guadarrama then said “OK”. However, the 7:15:05:00 - 7:15:13:00 (7:15 AM and five seconds to 7:15 AM and thirteen seconds) clip of CAP METRO bus video file LT-2357-05-07 07.09.00 (6694) explicitly contradicts Harris’s verbal and non-verbal statements to Officer Guadarrama. Looking at Camera 3 [Bus2357_Driver_L), driver Harris repeatedly nods his head up and down in response to BOTH times León (standing outside the bus, shown on Camera 2 – BUS2357_Front Door L) loudly told Harris, “You’re a criminal!”, meaning Harris TWICE non-verbally confirmed that he (Harris) was admitting to being a criminal. Harris also simultaneously and repeatedly pointed at his own chest with his right index finger (closest finger to his thumb on his right hand) to further confirm his criminal status/admission. Then, looking directly at León, Harris clearly and explicitly makes the throat-slashing gesture across his own throat, from left to right, using with his right index finger. Then Harris drives away. NOWHERE in CAP METRO bus video file LT-2357-05-07 07.09.00 (6694) do you see Harris making that bold, strong motion from his chest outward that he later claimed to Officer Guadarrama that he (Harris) had made, because Harris NEVER made that gesture. …

https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-07-25-cdc-withdraws-fraudulent-pcr-testing-protocol-used-to- falsify-covid-positives.html CDC withdraws fraudulent PCR testing protocol used to push the pandemic After 16 month of completely fraudulent PCR tests that were used to drive pandemic hysteria, the CDC has announced it is withdrawing the junk science testing protocol at the end of this year. PCR tests do not deliver quantitative results and can't count viral loads. Therefore, they are scientifically useless at diagnosing any so-called "infection." The entire covid pandemic has been based on this fraudulent, junk science test. And that means the entire pandemic is a fraud. See the full breaking news story here... CDC withdraws fraudulent PCR testing protocol that was used to falsify covid “positives” to push the plandemic Sunday, July 25, 2021 by: Mike Adams (Natural News) After more than a year of committing scientific fraud to push false “positives” via PCR testing, the CDC has announced it is withdrawing the RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel on December 31st of this year: After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only. CDC is providing this advance notice for clinical laboratories to have adequate time to select and implement one of the many FDA-authorized alternatives. The use of PCR tests for covid illness diagnosis is a global scientific fraud, since no PCR instrument can produce quantitative results that might indicate a specific viral load. Yet this CDC-approved testing protocol was relied on to fabricate the “casedemic” illusion which pretended that hundreds of millions of people around the world were infected with covid. The entire thing was an elaborate quack science hoax, and anyone familiar with PCR technology (see below) has known this from the very start. The PCR testing approved by the CDC to diagnose covid was fraudulent from the very first day PCR instruments are not quantitative instruments. They cannot tell you how much of something is present in a given sample. Every lab scientist familiar with PCR instruments knows this. Yet they continue to go along with the global fraud of diagnosing “positive” cases via PCR testing.

American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) president Paul Kempen, M.D., Ph.D. outlined the reasons the group believes the mandate is not only a violation of individual rights, but wholly unnecessary: • As of mid-July, 30 million people have recovered from COVID-19 in the U.S. and have natural immunity. Vaccination of these persons confers only risk with little to no benefit, yet these mandates do not exempt them. • Serious side effects have been identified, including paralysis and inflammation of the heart muscle, which may not resolve and may cause death. • As variants multiply, “booster” shots may be required, with increasing risk of allergic phenomena. AAPS statement in opposition: “The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) declares that all human beings have the right to liberty, which they do not forfeit when they serve the sick or the disabled. The ethical commitment to protect others does not require workers to surrender their bodily integrity and self-determination…. “Risks and benefits differ in individual patients and differing circumstances. Achieving a stamp of approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—premature because studies are not scheduled to be complete before the end of 2022—does not confer safety or effectiveness. FDA-approved products have frequently been withdrawn…. “The Joint Statement recognizes only a medical exemption, and omits mention of a religious exemption though many workers object to receiving these products based on their religious beliefs. Medical exemptions are virtually never recognized for the COVID vaccines because there is improper denial that they cause harm to anyone. “Long-term effects of these novel, genetically engineered products cannot possibly be known at this point. These could include autoimmune disorders, antibody-enhanced disease, infertility, cancer, or birth defects…. “AAPS favors insistence on fully informed, truly voluntary consent for all medical intervention. This includes full disclosure of all risks, and a diligent effort to identify and track risks…. Our medical organizations should be advocating for free and open discussion and opposing censorship…. “Without freedom, there is no safety for either workers or our patients.” On Wednesday, nearly 200 people gathered at the Arizona Capitol to protest forced vaccinations of healthcare workers. Hospital workers were joined by …
https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-05-11-masks-proven-to-be-about-control-not-safety.html# WORTHLESS MASKS: We always knew the masks were about control, not safety… now we’ve been proven right Tuesday, May 11, 2021 by: S.D. Wells (Natural News) Recently, the hosts of ABC’s “The View” apologized for the CDC having failed to trick people better about getting vaccinated, by letting people who have gotten vaccinated take off their masks. Referring to all people who are opposed to vaccination as “dumb hillbillies,” the bigoted shills showed their true colors. The so-called “lone conservative” co-host, Meghan McCain, indirectly called the CDC’s move psychotic and questioned the entire premise of vaccination, in that dumbfounded way that epitomizes daytime television talk shows, “If the vaccine works, why do we have to wear masks?” The answer is that communism only works if people have no value except as proletariat (working class) clones, so the masks will never come off, with or without vaccines, but of course, they can’t say THAT live on the air, or everybody gets fired. Liberal talk show idiots are paid to regurgitate the CDC-scripted narrative for Covid-19 and they can’t even do that right According to Google and Wikipedia, a “hillbilly” is defined as a person who dwells in rural, mountainous areas in the USA, primarily in the southern Appalachian mountains and down in the Ozarks of Missouri and Arkansas. The hosts of “The View” believe that anyone who studies science and understands how dangerous vaccines can be, well, that person must be a redneck who lives on a dirt road somewhere in the backwoods of Hick town, USA. You’re just not tricking people correctly if you continue to force people to wear masks post- vaccination, McCain argued. In other words, you can’t fool all the toothless lumberjacks, their wives and children too, into getting the shot if they think they still have to wear their useless, bacteria-laden Covid-19 masks everywhere they go, even after they get the inoculation. Meaning it’s all just psychological, and these hosts think we’re all rednecks, including every land owner and every gun owner who knows better than to let the government control our genes and immune systems. Also, the hosts added that the U.S. will NEVER reach herd immunity because of the huge swaths of people who believe in God, and who are mostly whites and Republican. Can anyone be any more of a racist, bigoted pig than these American talk show hosts? She also fessed …
https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-07-27-authorities-order-the-vaxtermination-of-city-workers- doctors-and-nurses.html# Authorities order the VAXTERMINATION of city workers, doctors and nurses as spike protein MURDER injections target government and health care sectors Tuesday, July 27, 2021 by: Mike Adams (Natural News) Government authorities and large health care groups are ordering the vaxtermination of their own members and workers, demanding spike protein murder shots be injected into millions of victims who work in the government and health care sectors. NYC mayor Bill de Blasio, for example, just announced covid mandates (vaccinate or endure daily tests with high false positive rates) for all 314,000 city workers. This is government targeting government in the vaccine depopulation war. What it means is that if covid vaccines produce any significant number of fatalities or hospitalizations, NYC will suffer personnel losses and large increases in health care costs for its own workers, plunging the city into a dire situation where there are no longer enough city workers alive to keep the city running. Similarly, the American Medical Association and dozens of other medical groups have colluded to call for mandatory vaccines of all health care workers. Their public demand falsely claims that covid vaccines are “safe and effective,” even though the FDA has made no such determination, and the manufacturers of the vaccines openly admit in their own documents that these vaccines have unknown consequences and are experimental medical interventions. Both the State of California and the Veterans Administration have announced mandatory vaccine requirements for all their workers. In California alone, 15.4% of the workforce is employed by the government, according to 247WallSt.com, and there are 2.5 million government workers in the state of California (although not all of them work for the state itself and may instead work for county or city governments). In Arizona, a large health care group known as Banner Health has announced mandatory vaccine requirements for its 52,000 employees. Any who refuse the vaccine will be fired after November 1st, right as the winter flu season is rising, likely increasing the demand for health care services. In all, we are now seeing governments and health care “authorities” ordering the vaxtermination of their own workers and employees on a scale never witnessed in the history of human civilization. This is a genocidal self-culling operation that clearly seeks to murder as many people as possible as a way to collapse the nation. Watch this Maryland nurse warn the world about what’s really …
https://www.rt.com/usa/530741-cdc-vaccine-delta-study-masks/ CDC releases study showing 3/4 Delta cases are among the vaccinated, says masks are the answer 30 Jul, 2021 20:18 / Updated 1 day ago The CDC has released a study backing up its decision to recommend indoor masking for both vaccinated and unvaccinated Americans. The study examined one outbreak and found three-quarters of people testing positive were vaccinated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) revised its masking guidelines on Tuesday, urging all Americans in areas with high Covid-19 transmission to mask up when indoors, regardless of vaccination status. Mask mandates in companies, government departments, and certain local jurisdictions followed, as CDC Director Rochelle Walensky insisted the decision was made on the back of fresh scientific evidence. The CDC released that evidence on Friday. In a study of 469 cases of Covid-19 that broke out in the resort town of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, earlier this month, 74% occurred in “fully vaccinated persons.” Four out of five patients hospitalized were fully vaccinated, and on average the inoculated had completed their two rounds of doses only 86 days before infection. The cases studied occurred in people vaccinated primarily with Pfizer and Moderna shots, with a smaller number having received Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose jab. No one vaccine was singled out as providing better or worse protection, and none appeared to prevent symptoms from developing. Some 79% of vaccinated patients were symptomatic, the study noted. Lab testing revealed that 90% of all the Cape Cod infections involved the Delta variant of the coronavirus. The report lends weight to the argument that the current crop of vaccines aren’t as effective against the Delta variant, although the CDC and World Health Organization (WHO) both insist that vaccination is effective against “severe disease and death” from the virus, to quote WHO technical lead Maria Van Kerkhove in a briefing earlier on Friday. However, the CDC study noted that similarly high viral loads were found in vaccinated and unvaccinated people. Walensky stated on Friday that “high viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission” and raised concern that “vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus.” The study itself is less alarmist, stating that “microbiological studies are required to confirm these findings.” Walensky said that the Cape Cod study was “pivotal” in informing the CDC’s decision to recommend indoor masking. Previously, the agency drew flak from Republicans for using an extremely limited Indian …
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20210802-002a August 2, 2021 Recommendation to cease citations and arrests of persons experiencing homelessness Date: Subject: Motioned by: Nelly Paulina Ramirez Seconded by: Rebecca Bernhardt Recommendation: The Public Safety Commission recommends that City Council, Mayor, and City Manager Spencer Cronk direct the Austin Police Department cease the citations and arrests set forth by the Responsible Public Space Management Plan unless the diversions being offered to persons experiencing unsheltered homelessness include a housing option. We also recommend the city invest $1.2M in funding to support non-profits like Austin Mutual Aid to house at least an addition 450 of our unhoused neighbors in hotels or alternative housing for a month while the HEAL initiative acquires more temporary housing. And finally, we recommend Council and the Mayor, direct City Manager Cronk to identify city owned land that can be used as a temporary legal encampment for the remaining sites that do not currently fall into the HEAL Initiative. Description of Recommendation to Council: Whereas the objective set forth by the Responsible Public Space Management Plan is to safely and humanely relocate persons camping in a public area, in a manner that preserves human dignity and respect while promoting voluntary compliance. Whereas the Public Space Management Plan set forth by APD currently allows for citations of our neighbors experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Whereas the Public Space Management Plan set forth by APD will allow arrests of our neighbors experiencing unsheltered homelessness starting August 8. Whereas housing options are not being provided to all experience unsheltered homelessness. Whereas citations and arrests directly impede our unhoused neighbors’ ability to secure housing independently. Whereas the threat of citations and arrests may cause those experiencing unsheltered homelessness to seek shelter in even higher risk areas where flooding and wildfire put them in even more danger. Therefore, The Public Safety Commission recommends that: • City Council, Mayor, and City Manager Spencer Cronk direct the Austin Police Department cease the citations and arrests set forth by the Responsible Public Space Management Plan unless the diversions being offered to persons experiencing unsheltered homelessness include a housing option • the city invest $1.2M in funding to support non-profits like Austin Mutual Aid to house at least an addition 450 of our unhoused neighbors in hotels or alternative housing for a month while the HEAL initiative acquires more temporary housing • Council and the Mayor, direct City Manager Cronk to …
