A RECOMMENDATION TO ALLOW SOME COMMERCIAL USES IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES WHEREAS current City of Austin land use separates residential homes from commercial uses, making it difficult for individuals to access services without the use of an automobile; and WHEREAS single family homes are traditionally an attractive option for families, including members that may not own or be able to drive; and WHEREAS a majority of Austin’s residential neighborhoods were built after 1960 and therefore were not designed on a walkable, grid pattern; and WHEREAS some of Austin’s most beloved, central neighborhoods (i.e., Clarksville, Hyde Park, Crestview, Bouldin) offer historic and replicable examples of how a mix of housing types and commercial uses can be compatible with neighborhood life and encourage walkability; and WHEREAS auto-centric development patterns don’t support the same kind of social interactions, neighborhood cohesion or safety via “eyes on the street” that walkable neighborhoods do; and WHEREAS the City of Austin’s Strategic Mobility Plan has identified a 50/50 mode split goal by 2039 and many personal trips are within 2.5 miles of the home, which is beyond the reach of walking; and WHEREAS walking or riding a bicycle on major arterial roads is an uncomfortable or unsafe option for many residents – particularly the young, those living with disabilities, and older adults; and WHEREAS many residents cannot access medical, counseling, pet, convenience or personal improvement services – services that support aging in place – without the support of a driver at personal expense or the support of social services; and WHEREAS many parts of the city of Austin include grocery store deserts, transit deserts and medical services deserts – with no current hospital operating east of IH-35; and WHEREAS we eliminated parking minimums across the city of Austin in order to, among other goals, allow more affordable housing to be within walking distance to small scale commercial businesses; and WHEREAS the Imagine Austin Plan included several stated livability objectives, including: ● Promote a compact and connected city, ● Development occurring in connected and pedestrian-friendly patterns supporting transit and urban lifestyles and reducing sprawl, while protecting and enhancing neighborhoods, ● Development occurring across the city in a manner friendly to families with children, seniors, and individuals with disabilities, ● Austin's unique character and local businesses being recognized as a vital part of our community, Page 1 of 3 ● Clear guidelines supporting both quality development and preservation that sustain …

Cargo volume totaled 11,935 tons in August 2025, a decrease of 9% compared to August 2024. Cargo volume decreased primarily due to changes in FedEx cargo activity. Operating revenue totaled $29.6M, an increase of 10% or $2.8M compared to August 2024. The increase in operating revenue results from updated airline rates and charges in FY2025 and growth in parking revenues.

Airport operating expenses totaled $18.2M for the month, an increase of 21% or $3.1M compared to August 2024. The increase in operating expenses is primarily driven by growth in airport staffing and increased contractual costs for information systems, building maintenance, and public safety (APD and ARFF). Austin Aviation reported an $11.9M surplus in August 2025, an increase of $6.5M compared to August 2024. The increase in the surplus compared to August 2024 results from a transfer to the operating fund for excess balances within the debt service reserve fund.
