• Staff Update Item 2d- Tourism Commission Meeting February 14, 2022 Item 2d. Update from staff on expansion contracted underway, with whom and how much, any timeline of "next steps” and discussion and possible action related to the convention center. In August 2019, the Austin City Council authorized an increase in the municipal hotel occupancy tax rate (HOT) from 9% to 11% in support of an redevelopment and expansion of the Austin Convention Center. Following Council’s approval of the 2% HOT increase, Convention Center staff worked toward a Master Plan Update and an Economic Impact study to confirm the viability of an expansion. These reports were released in August 2020 and were presented to Council in September of that year. On June 10, 2021 the Austin City Council approved the Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) method of contracting as the delivery method of best value to the City for the Convention Center expansion project which would demolish and rebuild portions of the existing Austin Convention Center and construct new elements for a facility expansion. In tandem to this item, Council passed Resolution 20210610-096, which provides further direction for elements to include in the RFQ for architectural/engineering services, including directing that representatives from the Center for Sustainable Development at University of Texas Study, the Palm District, The Downtown Austin Alliance, and the Waterloo Greenway be included in the evaluation panel for the RFQ, in addition to City staff. The Convention Center Expansion Team and consultants have finalized the RFQ and continues to make progress on the many remaining facets of the redevelopment project. The team is currently working with the Austin Convention Enterprises (ACE) Board and President to pursue a resolution to an “event of default” clause contained in ACE’s Hilton Austin Hotel bond indentures that is anticipated to be triggered by the temporary closure of the Convention Center during construction. ACE is a public facilities corporation created by the City of Austin to own, finance (including issuing debt) and operate the Hilton Austin Hotel. Once a resolution is achieved with regards to this matter, the RFQ will be released. The financial impact of the temporary closure of the Convention Center will have on Hilton Austin Hotel revenues is a critical issue because ACE bonds are wholly supported by the revenues generated by the hotel. Should the Commission request, we are pleased to present on the redevelopment and expansion project at …

Gonzalo Camacho Ramirez, Elaine From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Response to Notice of Public Hearing Case Number C15-2021-0101 (201 E Koenig Lane) Monday, February 14, 2022 2:17:42 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Good afternoon Miss Ramirez, In reference to the subject matter about the development variance hearing Case Number C15-2021-0101, please note the following: The developer was aware of the zoning regulations and its limitations at time of purchase. Any variance and related impacts should be mitigated by the developer. The increase of height from three stores to four, while clear on the elevation, the Notice of Public Hearing fails to educate the impact related to the increase in traffic due to the added capacity. Properly done, the notice should have included the added impacts in particular those related to traffic - how else can residents opinion on the changes? It is not expected for the developer to solve existing street safety issues and concerns but it is necessary to bring up to the attention of the City, residents, and Capital Metro some of these issues/concerns. [Is Capital Metro informed of the proposed development plus changes and impacts it will have on its bus route #7?] There were many lessons learned from the previous development on the west side of Avenue F where, West Koenig Flats. Following are some of them for consideration: With a grandfathered driveway on Koenig the West Koenig Flats had the opportunity to provide access to its residents on Koenig, neither the developer nor the City explored this option. Could not the current developer explore the option to access Koenig instead of residential streets? West Koenig Flats has only one driveway to access its multi level parking. This driveway is on Avenue F adjacent to the Capital Metro bus stop. When drivers are blocking the street or driveway buses are not able to pull up to the stop. Similar situation when buses are stopped residents are blocked from accessing the driveway. The proposed developer has a driveway on the same block that is already congested. Avenue F has sidewalks on the east side only and at the 5600 block (west side). Residents from the west side have to cross Avenue F to access a sidewalk. West Koenig Flats has a high volume of deliveries daily most of which park illegally on Avenue F. Residents moving in and out of the apartments use 56th …
