2212 Trailside-proposed single family home located in the Zilker neighborhood BOA Case # C15-2022-0042 Technical, tree, fire and taps are all approved Zoning has rejected the proposed plan on the grounds that the Habitable Attic, with a 7’ finished ceiling, does not meet the criteria for exempting the area from Gross Floor Area (GFA). We believe 2212 Trailside as designed with the br4/office habitable attic area wedged into a space that would typically be a non-habitable attic meets the GFA exemption and the staff application of 3.3.4 is incorrect because 1. The proposed Habitable Attic does not have any external walls (3.3.4.a) 2. 100% of the proposed exempted space has a CEILING HEIGHT of less than 7’ (3.3.4.b- measured to the bottom of the horizontal member of the roof truss refers to HEIGHT and not CEILING HEIGHT) therefore satisfying the ratio requirement E-1/1-PRESENTATION The GFA Exemption Pathway under discussion 3.3.4 Does not apply to this situation. You can exempt GFA from McMansion via 3 pathways: 3.3.2 for Parking Areas 3.3.3 for Porches Basements & Attics 3.3.4 for areas < 5’ in HEIGHT This approach is using 3.3.3(C) for the Habitable Attic. 3.3.3(C) has 6 criteria to qualify as a habitable attic exemption (Must meet all 6) 1) The roof above it is not a flat or mansard roof and has a slope of 3:12 or greater 2) Fully contained within the roof structure 3) It has only 1 floor 4) It does not extend beyond footprint of floors below 5) It is the highest habitable portion of this section of the building & adds no mass to structure AND 6) 50% or more of the area has a CEILING HEIGHT of seven feet or less E-1/2-PRESENTATION The Area of Bedroom 4/office has a max ceiling height of 7’ in order to allow the hvac ducting to access the room from the mechanical above. The ceiling structure is designed with a truss in order to provide stability needed to support the roof over the egress skylights. This section is at the highest portion of the roof showing the complete truss. As the roof slopes down to the rear wall the trusses will change configuration and get smaller. The Habitable attic is all within the roof area of the second floor and does not penetrate the tent or add mass to the structure The skylights are operational and provide egress for the …
2609 San Pedro Street Austin, TX 78705 VARIANCE REQUEST to reduce 30’ from centerline of street requirement to 24’. Per UNO District LDC 25-2-757 (E); requirement of a building setback of 30’ from the centerline of the adjacent street F-1/1-PRESENTATION 2609 San Pedro Street neighboring properties distance from centerline of street F-1/2-PRESENTATION 2609 San Pedro Street 30’ distance from centerline of street unique to UNO • 910 Poplar Street – under construction within the UNO overlay but permitted under the properties LO-MU base zoning. Because the project did not opt into UNO, the 30’ from centerline requirement was not applicable • 2802-2806 San Pedro Street – about to break ground just outside the UNO overlay. Because being not an UNO project, will not have to comply with the 30’ from centerline requirement. • 2816 San Pedro Street – project under entitlement just outside the UNO overlay. Because being not an UNO project, will not have to comply with the 30’ from centerline requirement. F-1/3-PRESENTATION 2609 San Pedro Street • Intent of requirement is for fire department to be able to only block traffic in one direction. In the case of a one way, one lane, street, perhaps the measurement should be from the opposite side of the street, not the centerline as there is no opposing traffic. F-1/4-PRESENTATION 2609 San Pedro Street neighborhood improvements that come with project • 12’ wide streetscape w/ pedestrian lighting • Fully fire protected building • Affordable SMART housing units • Significant improvements to storm water infrastructure on San Pedro Street F-1/5-PRESENTATION 2609 San Pedro Street I am happy to answer any questions and/or provide additional clarification Thank you for your time and consideration.

2904 RIVERCREST DRIVE AUSTIN, TX 78746 Case # 2022-000021 BA H-2/1-PRESENTATION AERIAL H-2/2-PRESENTATION MAP AERIAL H-2/3-PRESENTATION VARIANCE REQUEST Because the house currently sits 25’ from the front property line, we are respectfully seeking BoA Variance from: I. 25-2-492(D) LA zoning front setback encroachment to reduce the required 40-foot setback to 25-foot setback for existing residence. II. 25-2-963(E)(1)(B) to increase the height of a non-complying wall in the front setback from 23’8” to 24’1”. H-2/4-PRESENTATION REASONABLE USE The zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: • The lot is substandard as it was platted as a 15,416 square-foot lot in the mid- 1960s. It is less than 1 acre and does not meet the standards prescribed by Lake Austin zoning requirements. • This limits the property owners’ ability to reasonably use the site to the highest and best use as contemplated by the original plat and subsequent “A” and “LA” zoning categories. H-2/5-PRESENTATION HARDSHIP The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: • The applicant respectfully requests the board acknowledge the hardships in place as a result of the lot size being less than 1 acre, City initiated rezoning to LA zoning, existing front setback encroachment acknowledgement via approved building permits over a 30-year period, and the need to perform a substantial remodel on a 1988 era structure. • Compliance with existing 40-foot setback requires either full or partial demolition of the existing residence. H-2/6-PRESENTATION HARDSHIP ( CONT ’ D) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: • The site was issued a multitude of development permit approvals, exacerbating ongoing remodels for a noncomplying structure. H-2/7-PRESENTATION AREA CHARACTER The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not impair the use of adjacent conforming property, and will not impair the purpose of the regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located because: • There is zero known adverse impact on any adjacent property whether it be near or far from this site. • The reduction in impervious cover from 50% to 35% is a benefit not only to the environment but also alleviates any potential drainage concerns which may or may not have been an issue over the years (we are not aware of any drainage issues).

20220322 Fowl Enclosure Amendment Posting Language Approve an ordinance amending City Code Chapter 3-2-16 (Enclosures for Fowl) relating to enclosure setback distance. Lead Department Austin Public Health Fiscal Note This item has no fiscal impact Prior Council Action: November 21, 2013 – Council approved amendments to Part 3, Section 25-2-863(F) and Chapter 3-2 on a 6- 1 vote. The decision updated ordinance language relating to “raising, processing, and composting of fowl, rabbits, and aquatic foods . . . “ For More Information: Adrienne Sturrup, APH Director, 512-972-5167; Marcel Elizondo, Interim Assistant Director, APH Environmental Health Services Division, 512-978-0308; R. Lee Kelley, Interim Program Manager II, APH Environmental Health Services Division, 512-978-0341; Karen Rodela, Agenda Coordinator, APH, 512-972- 6473. Council Committee, Boards and Commission Action: No action to date. Additional Backup Information: Currently, the City regulates the distance between an animal enclosure and an adjacent residence or business structure. An enclosure used to keep two or more fowl must be located at least 50 feet from a residence or business structure, excluding the residence or business of the fowl’s owner or handler. Staff worked with the Office of Sustainability to identify how City regulations and policies can be amended to reduce the barriers of allowing residents in our community to raise fowl and provide an additional food source. Staff worked to identify other cities in Texas that have enclosure requirements in place. The investigation showed that some cities were more restrictive, while others were less restrictive. Of the cities that defined a setback distance in their code, 30 feet was the smallest setback distance defined. APH is recommending these changes: ▪ City Code Chapter 3-2-16 currently references 50 feet as the allowable distance for an enclosure from a residence or business structure. Amend Chapter 3-2-16: o Reduce setback distance from 50 feet down to 30 feet. o Incorporate a provision that allows APH to consider neighbor concerns on a case-by-case basis. Strategic Outcome(s): Health and Environment. APH EHSD 03/22/2022

AAC Data April Monthly Data 2014 to 2022 Prepared by Kristen Hassen DATA SOURCES: This data was acquired directly from the AAC Boards and Commissions website from the AAC monthly reports for the meetings held in May 2016, May 2018, May 2020, and May 2022, all of which contained the information from the previous month (April). CHANGE IN REPORTING: It appears that in 2019, AAC stopped providing the more comprehensive, three-year comparison data report. The last comprehensive data report I could find for April was 2019. At some point in 2019, AAC also began reducing the qualitative “animal services report,” which provided metrics related to foster care, volunteerism, the pet resource center, communications and marketing, adoption events, and other information. Because of inconsistencies in reporting, I was unable to obtain enough consistent data to report on the following metrics for the eight-year period: ● Number of animals sent to foster care ● Number of animals in foster care ● Number of volunteers ● Number of foster caregivers ● Number of pets deferred by the pet support center ● Number of pets and people assisted by the pet support center COMPARATIVE METRICS NEEDED: Because the data I have found does not support any claim that AAC is facing an exceptional intake or capacity crisis, the following comparative metrics are necessary to gain an understanding of the current situation at AAC: ● Beginning and end of month kennel and foster census over a multi-year period. ● Length of stay information over a multi-year period broken up by species ● Data points from the Advisory Commission space working group. See summary HERE.
Historic AAC Foster and Volunteer Program Information -as it relates to current space situation at AAC- Prepared by Kristen Hassen’ Introduction: This document shows some foster and volunteer information, pulled directly from AAC animal services reports from 2016 to 2022. Links to the reports are included. Volunteer and foster programs are among the most critical programs for reducing the number of animals housed in the shelter. Volunteers are directly responsible for pets being adopted, fostered, and rescued and foster caregivers free up kennel space for incoming animals, reduce the length of stay of pets, and facilitate adoptions. I was only able to create one graph because the reported metrics vary depending on the year. It is recommended AAC use consistent metrics over multiple years in order to best understand the comparative data. Note on the below graph: 2020 data is indicated in the report as ‘primarily foster care.’ This is the first time that foster hours were counted in volunteer hours and it is unclear if AAC continues to count foster hours as volunteer hours, but this obviously skews the data significantly, at least for 2020 and possibly beyond, depending on if foster hours are still counted in the total of volunteer hours. Also of note is that we do not yet have the volunteer hours for April 2022 so I used the March hours from 2022, which should be relatively consistent with the April hours, but this chart should be updated once that total is provided. Takeaways: 1. AAC has shown over multiple years it is able to support 5,000 or more volunteer hours per month in April, up to more than 6,000. In March of 2022, AAC was still only at 3,233 hours total (unclear if foster is being counted in this total), which is well below what is possible and sustainable. More volunteers will reduce shelter stress and increase outcomes. 2. AAC stopped reporting hours for community service volunteers and volunteer groups 3. after 2019. It is unclear whether these programs are still active or not. Both of these programs can increase outcomes and provide much-needed exercise and enrichment which helps get pets adopted more quickly. It’s hard to tell much about the foster program from the April reports because reported metrics vary. What is most critical is to know total number of animals in foster care at beginning and end of the month over multiple years …
