20220712-006 _Reiterate Commitment to 20% Affordable Housing in South Central Waterfront Vision original pdf

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20220712-006 Seconded By: Chair Motwani Date: July 12, 2022 Subject: [Second Send] Emphatic Restatement: A commitment to meeting the 20% affordable housing goal in the South Central Waterfront Vision Motioned By: Vice Chair Paup Recommendation: WHEREAS, the South Central Waterfront Vision calls for state-of-the-art development, a place where people want to be round-the-clock, a vibrant mix of open space, shops, superb transit connections and green drainage to capture all storm water onsite and recycle that water into a lush canopy of earth-cooling shade trees; and WHEREAS, by including a goal that 20% of housing in the waterfront district be affordable, the South Central Waterfront Vision departs from government planning processes of the past which systematically excluded and barred people of color; and WHEREAS, the impact of yesterday’s government-sanctioned segregation lingers with us today resulting in people of color having lower incomes and higher housing instability; and WHEREAS, the Civil Rights Act of 1968 established for cities the duty to affirmatively further fair housing, requiring cities not to passively wait for housing choices to present themselves but to affirmatively further choice and inclusion in prime redevelopment such as in the Waterfront; and WHEREAS, the draft regulating plan for the Waterfront District allows fee in lieu of providing affordable units and does not set out a specific path for reaching the 20% affordable housing goal even though real estate development requires extensive advance planning; and WHEREAS, in the absence of a specific plan, there could be an avalanche of PUD applications with the Statesman PUD application (which offers only 4% of its units as affordable) being the harbinger of such a possible avalanche; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Austin Community Development Commission recommends to the City Council that: 1. The Waterfront District regulating plan specifically reserve enough district TIRZ funds to fill gaps in the development of housing units to meet the 20% affordable housing goal; 1 of 2 2. The regulating plan include a vehicle for active acquisition of land in the district where housing meeting the 20% affordable housing goal can be developed; 3. Avoid accepting fees in lieu of providing housing and emphasize including actual units that meet the 20% affordable housing goal; 4. Where an affordable housing overlay exists within the district, the incentives of that overlay be applied first so that half of the affordable housing goal is met under …

This strategic direction guides the next three to five years and outlines imperatives to advance equitable outcomes across Austin. IMPETUS FOR STRATEGIC DIRECTION Research conducted in 2017, a few years into the City’s new 10-1 system of geographic district representation, concluded four areas for the organization to address: 1. Lack of clear, shared citywide priorities 2. Shared sense that City is not dealing with critical issues that will determine its future 3. Effective governance has been a challenge 4. Inadequate feedback and learning loops As a single playbook for the City of Austin, this strategic direction addresses these areas of opportunity and establishes a framework for effective governance going forward. STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2023 Strategic Direction 2023 is inspired by Imagine Austin, which flourished from an extensive community engagement process that laid out a 30-year vision for our community. (View the Imagine Austin Dashboard, highlighting its eight Priority Programs and related indicators, at austintexas.gov/imagineaustin/indicators.) This strategic direction sets six strategic outcomes for the next three to five years. Utilizing an outcome-based approach to setting priorities and budgeting enables …
