Affordability Impact Statement 2024 International Residential Code & Local Amendments Date: 7/1/2024 Proposed Regulation The proposed adoption of the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) and associated local amendments. These codes would replace the current 2021 IRC and corresponding local amendments. The IRC is a model code published by International Code Council (ICC), a non-profit entity with a robust democratic process for weighing the costs and benefits of code changes. The Development Services Department has the stated goal of minimizing the number of 2024 local amendments to the IRC and deferring to the model codes whenever possible. When amendments are made it is generally because they are mandated by council, responding to business needs, clarifying language, and improving the City’s Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating. Land Use/Zoning Impacts on Housing Costs The proposed changes would likely have a neutral impact on housing costs via land use and zoning. Impact on Development Cost The proposed changes would likely have a neutral impact on development costs. 2024 Model Code Update: The University of Florida researched the cost impact of updating from the 2023 Florida Building Codes to the 2024 International Codes (Issa et al. 2024).1 The 2023 Florida Building Code adopts the 2021 IRC as one of its model codes, so it may be a helpful baseline to understand the overall cost impact of the changes from the 2021 IRC to the 2024 IBC. The State of Florida does adopt amendments to the model codes, but they have the closest available comparison to understand the cost impacts of adopting the 2024 IBC. The University of Florida study models the adoption of the 2024 International Codes on seven different building types, including small office, retail, primary school, small hotel, mid-rise apartment, 1-story residence, and 2-story residence. The average net change in cost estimate between all the building types is +0.45% according to their report. The IRC applies to “detached one- and two- family dwellings and townhouses not more than three stories above grade plane in height” (see Section R101.2 of the IRC), so the 1-story and 2-story residences from the Issa et al. report are the most informative cost impact models.2 The Issa et al. report estimates 1-story residences will be +10% more expensive to build and 2-story residences will be +16% more expensive to build, with both increases due to National Electrical Code (NEC) changes rather than IRC changes. Local Amendments: The most …
Affordability Impact Statement 2024 International Building Code & Local Amendments Date: 6/25/2024 Proposed Regulation The proposed adoption of the 2024 International Building Code (IBC) and local amendments would replace the current 2021 IBC and corresponding local amendments. The IBC is a model code published by International Code Council, a non-profit entity with a robust democratic process for weighing the costs and benefits of code changes. Most of the changes to the local amendments simplify or streamline code regulation and interpretation. The most impactful local amendments are likely the new requirements for natural light in living spaces and the reduction of required egress stairways in apartment buildings up to five-stories. Land Use/Zoning Impacts on Housing Costs The proposed changes would have a neutral impact on housing costs via land use and zoning. 2024 IBC and local amendments will update Austin’s land development code to reflect the most current standards. Keeping building codes up to date helps to ensure consistency with other jurisdictions and appropriate consideration of newer building materials/practices, such as mass timber. Impact on Development Cost The proposed changes would likely have a neutral impact on development costs overall. The 2024 IBC is a model code that makes incremental changes to improve building standards. Some changes raise the cost of construction in the interest of improving factors such as safety, accessibility, and code consistency. Other code changes decrease costs through means such as eliminating unnecessary requirements, providing clarification, or allowing greater design flexibility. The wider cost benefits of improved building safety, resilience, consideration of newer technology, and consistency with other jurisdictions’ building codes can counterbalance immediate building cost increases as well. 2024 Model Code Update: Research from the University of Florida is currently underway to evaluate the cost impact of updating from the 2023 Florida Building Codes to the 2024 International Codes (Issa et al. 2024).1 The 2023 Florida Building Code adopts the 2021 IBC as its model, so it may be a fair baseline to understand the overall cost impact of the changes from the 2021 IBC to the 2024 IBC. The State of Florida does adopt amendments to the model codes, but they have the closest available comparison to understand the cost impacts of adopting the 2024 IBC. The University of Florida study models the adoption of the 2024 International Codes on seven different building types, including small office, retail, primary school, small hotel, mid-rise apartment, 1-story residence, …

M E M O R A N D U M TO: Mayor and Council Members THROUGH: Veronica Briseño, Assistant City Manager FROM: José G. Roig, Development Services Director Chief Joel Baker, Aus�n Fire Chief Chief Robert Luckritz, EMS Chief, Aus�n Travis County EMS DATE: June 26, 2024 SUBJECT: Resolu�on No. 20240502-094 Staff Update - Single Stairway Provisions for Mul�family Developments Up to Five-Stories We want to provide all of you with a mul�-departmental recommenda�on on Resolu�on No. 20240502-094 which proposes an amendment to the 2024 Interna�onal Building Code (IBC) allowing a single stairway for mul�family developments up to five stories. Technical code and first responder experts from the Development Services Department (DSD), Aus�n Fire Department (AFD), and Aus�n/Travis County Emergency Medical Services (ATCEMS) reviewed Aus�n’s single stairway amendment and found significant poten�al safety risks to occupants and first responders were we to amend the Code. As a result, staff recommends that the City of Aus�n con�nue to allow the model na�onal codes to set minimum standards for construc�on in Aus�n, thereby maintaining two means of egress for mul�family developments. Safety Concerns Construc�ng a single stairway --as opposed to two separate stairways-- for a five-story building poses escape hazards for occupants during fire, ac�ve shooter, severe weather, or large-scale emergencies. The following points highlight primary safety concerns: • Occupant Risk Considera�ons – Fire-loss data, some�mes cited by proponents of single stairway design, suggests that such an approach poses a low risk to occupants. While the probability of a fire is low, the consequences of a fire with a single stairway design make this an inherent risk. The na�onal standard set in the model code manda�ng two staircases reflects the increased likelihood of significant injury and mass casual�es in limi�ng occupants to a single exit in the event of a fire or other emergency. • Subject Mater Expert Findings – A na�onal proposal to permit mid-rise buildings to be served by a single exit stairway was reviewed and overwhelmingly rejected by the Interna�onal Code Page 1 of 4 Council (ICC) Technical Commitee, ci�ng tes�mony from many na�onal safety experts about the dangers it would pose to occupants and first responders. • Hindered Evacua�on Tac�cs – AFD employs evacua�on tac�cs by designa�ng one stairwell for evacua�on and the second stairwell for firefigh�ng opera�ons. Elimina�ng a stairwell may lead to unsafe exposure of fire condi�ons to occupants and cause counterflow and conges�on with occupants …

MEMORANDUM Date: To: CC: Reference: August 9, 2024 Aditya Jatar, P.E., BOE Consulting Services Danielle Morin AICP., Julie Apagya Bonney Transportation and Public Works Department Oak Creek Village Zoning Transportation Analysis (ZTA) Final Memo (C14-2023-0047) The Transportation & Public Works Department (TPW) has reviewed the June 27, 2024 “Oak Creek Village” Zoning Transportation Analysis, prepared by BOE Consulting Services. The proposed site includes a Mid-Rise Multi-Family Housing development with 495 dwelling units, located at 2302 Durwood Street in Austin, 78704, Texas (see Figure 1 below). The project will be constructed in two phases and is anticipated to be completed by 2026. To facilitate access to the surrounding roadway network, the development proposes two driveways: Driveway A (existing) on Durwood Street and Driveway B (new) on South 1st Street. These access points are depicted in Figure 1 below. Figure 1: Site Location Adjacent Roadway Characteristics: The site will connect to West Oltorf Street and South 1st Street. Below is a summary of the current conditions around the site: Durwood Street: Classified as a Level 1 road in the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP), requiring 64 feet of right-of-way (ROW). Currently, Durwood Street has 46 feet of ROW, with unmarked travel lanes, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks on both sides. In 2024, the average daily traffic (ADT) on Durwood Street was about 1,200 vehicles per day. Trip Generation and Traffic Analysis: Using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition), the development is expected to generate 1,717 net new daily trips (unadjusted), with 158 trips during the AM peak hour and 140 trips during the PM peak hour (See Table 1 for details). Table 1: Trip Generation The 2024 ADT was estimated using traffic count data, with a 2% annual growth factor applied to project the 2026 volumes. Table 2 shows both current and projected volumes on nearby road segments. Table 2 Projected Volume Analysis The analysis indicates that the unadjusted site traffic, combined with the forecasted volume at full build-out, will exceed the typical ADT range for Durwood Street but remain within the necessary limits. A Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan was not required as the trip count did not exceed the 2,000-trip threshold. Additionally, evaluations of ROW for adjacent roads, turn lanes for all driveways, and sight distance for the proposed new driveways were conducted. Recommendations/Conclusions: As a condition for approval for the above referenced zoning review case, …

Because of the new DB-90 compatibility changes, this development will have a huge negative effect on the single family homes and the neighborhood adjoining the development, including a massive decrease in property values. Skyview is a 1950’s established Austin neighborhood. The residents of this lovely, diverse community are a blend of ethnicity, ages, occupations, incomes, families and singles, and owners and renters. We request that you give us equal consideration as to these zoning changes, especially in how the DB-90 compatibility changes will impact our single family homes and neighborhoods.

August 9, 2024 City of Austin Planning Commission Attn: Nicole Corona 301 W. 2nd Street Austin, TX 78701 Cc: Beverly Villela, Staff Liaison Jessica Cotsonas, OTX Designs Re: C14-2024-0088 – Zoning Change Request for 1907 Forestglade Dr. Dear Ms. Corona: I am writing on behalf of the South Menchaca Neighborhood Plan Contact Team to express support for a zoning change at 1907 Forestglade Dr. Our contact team met with the applicants to discuss the request and voted unanimously to support the change from SF-3-NP to LO-MU-NP. Please note that the Contact Team’s support is specific to this case and does not establish a precedent for any future zoning change requests. We agree with the requesters’ argument that the change will not disrupt the character or appearance of the neighborhood. Granting this change will allow OTX Designs to configure their building appropriately for office use, enabling them to occupy the building productively long-term. We ask the Planning Commission to support this request and approve the requested zoning change. Thank you for your time and service to our city. Respectfully, Susan Schorn, Secretary South Menchaca Neighborhood Plan Contact Team

We are unsatisfied with the results of the sound study provided by Austin Pickleball Ranch and are in the process of contracting a sound study by a national pickleball acoustical engineering firm Pickleball Sound Mitigation. (https://pickleballsound.com/) They have given us a time frame for a deliverable study around the week of August 25th and we would need time to assess their findings and discuss the results with them. Also, Mr. Unetich or Mr. Van Scoyk will be calling in to the Planning Commission hearing to speak on OWANA's behalf. 2. We have been patient with the applicant's response to our requests and have unfortunately spent an inordinate amount of time discussing pickleball noise and lighting remediation. The tenant, Austin Pickleball Ranch, was not only slow to respond to requests for action, they were operating illegally without proper zoning or obtaining a building permit. Permitting would …

Via Electronic Submittal Lauren Middleton-Pratt City of Austin Planning and Housing Department 1000 E 11th St. Austin, TX 78702 Dear Mrs. Middleton-Pratt: Re: Rezoning request for 4705 & 4505 Menchaca Rd (Revised); TCAD Parcel 509246 (the “Property”) As representatives of the owner of the above stated Property, we respectfully submit an application for rezoning. The Property is located at 4507 & 4505 Menchaca Rd and is currently undeveloped. We are requesting to rezone the Property from Limited Office-Neighborhood Plan (LO-NP) to Neighborhood Commercial-Neighborhood Plan (LR-NP) . The purpose of the rezoning is to allow for the development of a coffee shop. The original request was for a coffee shop with an accessory drive-thru facility. After discussion with staff and the community, we have chosen not to pursue a zoning which allows for a drive-thru use by-right. A drive-thru facility is not permitted by right in the requested LR district. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and a public hearing process would be required to permit a drive-thru use in LR. The Property is within the South Manchaca Neighborhood Plan and designates this site as “Neighborhood Node”. As the proposed zoning aligns with the “Neighborhood Node”, a Future Land Use Map amendment is not required. The surrounding zoning is SF-3-NP to the east and west, LO-NP to the south, and LR-V-NP to the north. The surrounding uses are restaurants and commercial to the north, residential to the east, religious assembly to the south, and educational centers to the west. If you have any questions regarding this request or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at your convenience. Very truly yours, Amanda Couch Brown
ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 5 TO: LR- NP CASE: C14-2024-0023– 4507 Menchaca Rezoning ADDRESS: 4505, 4507, 4507 ½ Menchaca Road ZONING FROM: LO-NP SITE AREA: 0.67 acres PROPERTY OWNER: JBHR Project 16 LP (Nic Andreani) AGENT: HD Brown Consulting (Amanda C. Brown) CASE MANAGER: Marcelle Boudreaux (512-974-8094, marcelle.boudreaux@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Staff recommendation is to grant neighborhood commercial –neighborhood plan (LR-NP) combining district zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 13, 2024: CITY COUNCIL: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The project proposes a coffee shop with drive through. In the LR zoning district, this coffee shop use (Limited Restaurant) would be principally permitted. The drive through component requires additional and separate review and approval; a drive-through as accessory use to a Limited Restaurant in the LR base zoning district requires a Conditional Use permit. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area is approximately 0.67 acres and is undeveloped. The rezoning area is situated at the east side of Menchaca Boulevard, approximately 840 feet south of its intersection with Ben White Boulevard. Development along this portion of Menchaca transitions from more intense commercial along Ben White Boulevard southward to more neighborhood and community-based zoning and uses, including Restaurant – Limited, Administrative and Business office and Religious facility uses. To the east is single family C14-2024-0023 Page 2 residential use, and across Menchaca Road to the west is AISD Joslin Elementary school (LR-V-NP; LO-NP; SF-3-NP). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map), A-1 (Aerial View). The site is within the Lamar and Ben White Activity Center, as identified in Imagine Austin comprehensive plan. The activity centers identify locations for additional people and jobs above what currently exists on the ground. Menchaca Road is a level 3 mobility corridor. The site is 0.15 miles to Ben White Boulevard, and is located one parcel away from Cap Metro bus stop with routes 3 (local) and 103 (flyer, with limited stop access to downtown and UT). The Applicant proposes to rezone the property to neighborhood commercial – neighborhood plan (LR- NP) district for a development to include an approximately 670-square foot coffee shop (Restaurant – Limited use) with associated drive through (an accessory use which requires a Conditional Use permit to proceed). BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. 2. 3. The Neighborhood Commercial (LR) district is intended for neighborhood shopping facilities which provide limited …
August 9, 2024 City of Austin Planning Commission Attn: Nicole Corona 301 W. 2nd Street Austin, TX 78701 Cc: Marcelle Boudreaux Re: C14-2024-0023 – Zoning Change Request for 4507 Menchaca Rd. Dear Ms. Corona: I am writing on behalf of the South Menchaca Neighborhood Plan Contact Team to express opposition to a requested zoning change at 4507 Menchaca Road. Our contact team met with the applicant’s representative on April 30, 2024, to discuss the request. We have since met with other neighbors and talked with some parents of children who attend Joslin Elementary, which is directly across Menchaca from the property. As a result of these discussions, we have voted unanimously to oppose the change from LO-NP to LR-NP. Please note that we have no objection to a coffee shop on this property; what we are opposed to is a drive-through coffeeshop, in a school zone, near a very busy intersection that students in our neighborhood must cross to get to or from the school. Our understanding is that the zoning change is needed in order to allow the drive-through. As the attached diagram illustrates, the entrance/exit to this proposed drive-through would be directly between the two drop-off spots for Joslin: one just south, on Menchaca, and the other just north, on Redd. Scores of students and their families use the sidewalk in front of this property every weekday morning to reach the intersection at Redd, where there is a crossing guard. Other pedestrians use this sidewalk to access the Capital Metro bus stops on Redd and Menchaca at the same intersection. A drive-through at this location would turn that section of sidewalk into an obstacle course for pedestrians, as they attempt to navigate sidewalks that cars are repeatedly crossing in both directions as they enter and exit the drive-through. A coffeeshop can be expected to be busiest in the morning, and in fact the developer has told us they expect the business will be dependent on commuter traffic. This is precisely the time when children are using the sidewalk to get to school. Moreover, drive-through users would be distracted by the heavy traffic on Menchaca during the morning hours. Traffic on this section of road, which is immediately south of the Menchaca/Hwy 71-BenWhite intersection, is always backed up during the morning commute, and northbound drivers already face multiple distractions and hazards as they attempt to change lanes to turn …
GOVALLE/JOHNSTON TERRACE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN CONTACT TEAM “Strength Through Unity” August 7, 2024 The Govalle/Johnston Terrace Neighborhood Plan Contact Team continues to oppose the DB90 zoning category proposals to include the new iteration proposing to “conserve and create” live music and creative space bonuses in exchange for degradation of our neighborhoods. In particular, we oppose the conditions that allow developers to pay a fee in-lieu of providing affordable housing on site, adding 30 feet of to the maximum base zoning in areas not designated as opportunity corridors, and the exemptions from minimum site area requirements, maximum building coverage, minimum side, interior yard, and front yard setbacks. We also oppose the modifications and exemptions to set compatibility standards, conditional overlays, and restrictive covenants. We continue to request and support a moratorium on DB-90 until a review of cumulative impacts can be conducted including impacts to the city’s commitment to anti-displacement measures, community-wide benefits, the natural environment of affected neighborhoods, and strain on utilities and natural resources.

ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PART 2 OF ORDINANCE NO. 20201210-061 REMOVING DAY CARE CENTERS FROM COLLECTION RATE REDUCTIONS AND LOWERING THE COLLECTION RATE TO ZERO DOLLARS PER VEHICLE-MILE FOR DAY CARE CENTER LAND USES. BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: PART 1. FINDINGS. (A) Childcare costs have become a significant burden for families, with the average annual cost of daycare exceeding housing costs in many states. (B) High operational costs, particularly for wages and insurance, have led many day care providers to close or reduce services. The expiration of federal childcare stabilization funding has further strained the industry. (C) Despite the challenges, day care centers provide critical public benefits. They offer early education that can significantly improve a child’s future opportunities while enabling parents to work, which, in turn, benefits society at large. (D) Reducing the street impact fee for day care centers to zero would incentivize the building of more centers throughout the City thereby increasing opportunities for more families to obtain childcare and ultimately provide improved quality of life, greater economic opportunities and increased stability. (E) Reducing the street impact fee collection rate to zero would help achieve a substantial public good benefiting the City by promoting equity and supporting the needs of its residents. PART 2. Part 2, Subsection (D), of Ordinance No. is amended to delete, “day care centers,” to add a Subdivision (7) reducing the day care center collection rate to $0, and to read as follows: (D) The "Collected Street Impact Fee Per Service Unit" as described by the Page 1 of 3 following schedule: Collection Rate Per Service Unit Residential Land Uses (per Vehicle-Mile) Collection Rate Per Service Unit Non-Residential Land Uses (per Vehicle-Mile) $850 $1,215 [(1) A street impact fee shall not be collected from a new development for any building permit validly issued within 18 months of the effective day of this ordinance. (2) For new development with an approved transportation impact analysis on the effective date of this ordinance, a street impact fee shall not be collected for any building permit validly issued within three years of such effective date.] (1[3]) For any new development that adds net service units to an existing land use located on a lot or tract and does not result in an increase of more than 10 PM peak hour trips, the collection rate will be $0 per …
