Mobility includes building wealth and long-term stability for future generations. Education, health, housing, childcare, and strong social conditions enable families to thrive. In Austin, persistent disparities limit opportunities, but a person’s future shouldn’t be determined by their neighborhood or systemic barriers. Beyond Wages Quality of Life We Shape Systems 3 Quality-of-Life Studies: Key Connections High-Level Themes Financial Progress & Economic Outcomes • Deeply affordable housing • • Utility assistance and energy relief Job pipelines and employment access programs Quality of Life & Well-Being • Pop-up clinics in high-need areas • Culturally competent healthcare training • Inclusive planning processes for older adults Opportunities & Access Teen job search portal • • Strengthen multilingual outreach • Partnerships with schools, nonprofits, and public agencies Families, Communities, & Systems • Neighborhood safety audits • Greening and beautification initiatives • Strengthen family-support systems through childcare access and wraparound services 4 Definition Economic mobility addresses systems to improve unfair conditions that influence whether individuals, families, and communities can prosper over time and across generations. It means access to opportunities and resources needed for basic needs, financial security, and a dignified, high quality of life — regardless of race, place, gender, or ability. 5 Economic Mobility Index Human-centered, place-based tool for understanding conditions that shape residents’ ability to thrive in Austin. Visualizes neighborhood- level disparities as defined by economic mobility. Focuses on underlying conditions to guide service delivery and decision- making using data and community insights.

South Capital of Texas Highway is a Level 5 corridor per the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) and Lost Creek Boulevard is a Level 3. The site is currently 02 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 81 of 327 C14-2025-0089 Page 2 developed with office uses and a parking garage and is zoned Limited Office (LO) and Neighborhood Commercial (LR).

I am requesting that the February 17 hearing for Case C14-2025-0089 be postponed until May 19th This project proposes 475 multifamily units, which triggers a mandatory Educational Impact Statement for any project with 200+ multifamily units. The property is in the Eanes ISD, which is already facing budget challenges. The application’s own EIS form leaves the number of bedrooms per unit as “TBD.” We cannot confirm that a completed EIS has been submitted to or reviewed by Eanes ISD. If the EIS is incomplete, the hearing should not proceed. This is a regulatory requirement, not optional. My two children attend Forest Trail Elementary and a daughter attends Westridge Middle School both apart of EISD. Recently due to budget deficits EISD had to close an elementary school Valley View which replaced those kids into existing elementary schools in EISD namely in Forest Trail Elementary and the class sizes have gotten much larger. They also started school an hour earlier earlier to handle the busing 1 02 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 8138 of 327 which has a negative impact on kiddos sleep and makes it impossible to get out of the neighborhood between 7-9am in one of the only exits out of the Lost Creek Development which is adjacent to proposed zoning change and is also adjacent to a 48 house build of homes in Lost Creek. A reckless change in zoning without proper education impact assessment and communication with EISD officials endangers the kids currently in school and the financial security not the district. Also have any safety impact been considered about building this close to an elementary school? The build is directly opposite the elementary school. Please postpone until the Educational Impact Statement is completed and reviewed by …

April 7, 2026 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 04 C14-97-0141.04 - Parmer North PDA Amendment; District 71 of 40 ISSUES: N/A DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The site under consideration is a 64.9 acre area containing an undeveloped lot (Lot 11A) and a lot (Lot 12A) developed with four 4-story office buildings with structures and surface parking.

Geotechnical Report 1 Insufficient information and analysis has been provided with the updated Geotechnical report to confirm whether the underlying rock is structurally competent. • Per the updated report “The structural details must indicate the penetration requirements on the downslope side of the footing excavation. Deeper penetration might be required due to structural requirements associated with the lateral load analyses...” However, geotechnical data has not been collected that would allow a lateral load analysis. • Additionally, per the report a “cursory analysis of potential planar type failure did not yield any concerns.” However, it is not clear if all relevant data was factored into this analysis. 2 Geotechnical Report Staff Concerns 1) Test borings were not performed a) Truck-mounted boring equipment allows sampling several feet into bedrock material, whereas hand-dug pits are limited to excavation of loose or fractured material. b) Test pits were hand dug through fractured rock, with most pits terminating prior to reaching hard limestone c) No test pits extended to the recommended pier depth of 4 ft d) Due to lack of borings, no sampling and evaluation of bedrock material was performed, which limits the applicability and accuracy of any analyses performed 3 Geotechnical Report Staff Concerns (cont.) 2) There is evidence of soil creep – the gradual movement of soil and other surface materials – on the slope. a) As soil gradually moves over time vegetation can be carried with it, causing trees to change their resting angle on the slope. The trees then continue their vertical growth, creating bends in what would otherwise be a straight trunk. b) This is an indicator of slope instability and potential planar failure. It’s not clear if this was factored into the geotechnical analysis. 4 Geotechnical Report Summary Insufficient information and analysis has been provided with the updated geotechnical report to confirm whether the underlying rock is structurally competent. Recommendation Staff does not recommend approval of the variance due to the environmental risks of construction on steep slopes. If the commission approves the variance, staff recommends applying the previously identified staff conditions, including the requirement for a full geotechnical investigation.

No water quality is proposed for this one lot single family residence because there will be less than 5,000 sqft of proposed impervious cover. The parcel has steep slopes which fall somewhere over 50’ from the front of the parcel to the rear of the parcel. Accordingly, net site area as calculated in Section 25-8-62 is negligible and cannot meet the requirements …

This will massive traffic conges(cid:44)on and safety concerns with wildfire evacua(cid:44)ons and emergency delays. Many people in the office complex already make illegal U-Turns in front of the entrance to my street. I am asking for a Safety and Traffic Study and a Condi(cid:44)onal Overlay with these requirements: 1. Height Cap: Max 50 feet (3 residen(cid:44)al floors over commercial) 2. Unit Cap: Limit to 400 units, or the max supported by a real evacua(cid:44)on study. 3. No Neighborhood Access: No vehicular access to or from Lost Creek Blvd 4.

4818 E Ben White Blvd ● Austin, TX 78741 ● www.unitehere23.org April 7, 2026 Dear Commissioners, I write in support of item #5 on today’s agenda, the rezoning of the Circuit of the Americas Planned Unit Development Amendment #3. UNITE HERE Local 23 is a union of hospitality workers. We represent hotel workers across the city, and airport concessions workers at the Austin airport. For over 15 years, our members have worked to improve wages for themselves and their coworkers here in Austin. With those efforts they have secured living wages and incredible benefits. We currently represent over 100 members that live in Del Valle and have represented almost 200 more in the past that either moved out of Del Valle or switched employers. Since 2012, the Austin City Council has included good, permanent jobs as part of the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. They understood then and have reaffirmed over the years that working people in Austin need opportunities for a good job and shouldn’t need to work 2 or 3 jobs in order to provide for their families. As part of the F1 Job Center, this development will accomplish that goal. The hotel at the Circuit of the Americas will create good, permanent jobs and will be a great opportunity for working people in Southeast Austin. We are strongly in support of this development and urge you to approve it. Sincerely, Rachel Melendes Political Director UNITE HERE Local 23 c. 210-887-1167 05 C814-2018-0122.03 - Circuit of the Americas Planned Unit Development Amendment #3; District 21 of 3 Honorable Mayor Watson and Austin City Council Members: On behalf of the Del Valle Community Coalition (DVCC) Board, I am writing to express our strong support for the proposed hotel project at Circuit of the Americas. First, we want to acknowledge the very real concerns that come with growth and development. For many families in Del Valle and across the Eastern Crescent, conversations about development are often tied to fears of being left out—or left behind—once again. Those concerns are valid and deserve to be heard. At the same time, it’s important to recognize the history that has brought us here. For decades, Del Valle and the broader Eastern Crescent have experienced significant underinvestment compared to other parts of the city. When the City annexed Circuit of the Americas, that investment did not extend to the surrounding community. The result is what …

Because our home sits downhill from this area and we’re near that drainage path, I wanted to better understand how the proposed development might affect water flow. Specifically, are post-development runoff volume and peak flow into that channel expected to remain consistent with existing conditions? I appreciate any insight you can share, and I’m happy to have this routed to the appropriate drainage or environmental reviewer if needed.
