BOARD/COMMISSION RESOLUTION RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMISSION RESOLUTION ON AUSTIN ENERGY GREEN BUILDING AND SAFE BUILDING MATERIALS WHEREAS, Americans spend as much as 90% of their time indoors; and WHEREAS, many building materials are made of, or coated with, toxic chemicals, whose harm can be magnified in modern energy-efficient buildings with less ventilation; and WHEREAS, many of these chemicals have dangerous qualities, as they can be carcinogenic, neurotoxic, developmental and reproductive toxins, asthmagens and respiratory sensitizers, endocrine disrupting chemicals, acutely toxic, and aquatically toxic; and WHEREAS, since many of these more toxic building products are widely used in apartment and tract- home construction, resulting in more exposure for lower-income and middle-income residents; and WHERAS, production of toxic building materials is often energy intensive and also has an adverse air quality and health impacts for communities near the points of production; and WHEREAS, Austin seeks to lead by example to persuade other local and state governments and programs around the country to avoid harmful chemicals in buildings; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMISION OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN that the commission recommends that the Austin City Council direct the City Manager to: 1. Create a working group of stakeholders, facilitated by Austin Energy staff, to suggest revisions to the single family and multifamily green building point system to strengthen human and environmental protections from harmful substances. The purpose of the working group shall be to: 1) identify and encourage safe building materials; and 2) avoid toxic building materials when necessary. 2. The working group shall strive to include: professionals in the building industry; Austin Energy Green Building staff; environmental experts; health experts; tenant advocates; and members of the Resource Management Commission. 3. The working group shall forward recommendations to the Resource Management Commission of the City of Austin by August 1, 2022.

From: Tamsen Reed < Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2022 12:57 PM To: Chaffin, Heather <Heather.Chaffin@austintexas.gov> Subject: C14-2021-0141 Agave Annex: District 1 Dear Heather, Speaking publicly at the Zoning and Platting Meeting for Tuesday May 17, 2022 on the above topic appears to be limited by time, but as a resident of Annette Cove the Agave street most impacted if this re-zoning measure was to pass would like to have my voice heard. I understand the traffic survey reported a 780% traffic increase to Annette Cove. This may be a relative number to the zoning committee, but by what standard is this number acceptable to the people who live on a relatively quiet street off a busy main road - Sendero Hills Parkway. How would any of you feel if you did not work for the City and in zoning and was told your once quiet street was about to become a main thoroughfare access to a new neighborhood development? Annette Cove as a cul-de-sac understandably and currently has resident, visitor, and construction traffic. The construction traffic has certainly been disturbing -- as I listen to it right now-- but there are lots available and in development that exist so this is what we must live through until completed. That is manageable. This re-zoning is not. Not for Annette Cove residents and not for the Rogers Lane residents. Have any of you traveled Rogers Lane? It is rather obvious that Sendero Hills to Annette would be the preferred drive in and drive out. What can we anticipate however in the future if this re-zone was to pass? MORE construction traffic, dangerous two way- one way traffic, crowding, cars with unacceptable speed coming onto Annette from Sendero Hills Parkway, noise disturbance, more speeding on Sendero Hills, traffic jam from Sendero Hills to 969. Traffic is a number and objective, but conditions and living behaviors of the residents are another consideration all together. Neighbors on Annette Cove park on either side of the street. What this creates is a narrow drive through which is fine in normal traffic but not for heavy traffic. We have to think of the tenements of safety and quiet enjoyment. What are the measures for traffic and pedestrian and homeowner safety? What will be implemented? How do the developers intend to address road widening for increased traffic on Annette Cove, slow down measures for the unacceptable traffic speed …

As a nurse she must work nights so I have taken the responsibility to pick them up from daycare before she gets home. As the daughter who works from home at an apartment that does not allow dogs I can can conveniently pick up my mom’s two dogs, Rex and Coco, and receive excellent supervised care from Ali Delaram's staff. Myself and my mother depend on this small business. I support the rezoning to General Retail because it serves my needs and promotes economic resiliency in Austin's small business sector as well as support for two COVID Emergency response workers. Mr. Delaram and his staff are an inclusive workforce who provide excellent customer service and safety to their customers' pets. The economic opportunity provided by this small business is aligned with Austin's Strategic Direction 2023 regarding EconomicOpportunity and Affordability, specifically with these two strategies: Assess outcomes of our programs that support entrepreneurship and designated small, minority-owned, women-owned and disadvantaged businesses and optimize for participant success (e.g. business expansion, revenue, profitability).
