A note regarding the Airport Advisory Commission (AAC) meeting of January 11, 2022. Due to the requirements of the Texas Open Meetings Act (TOMA) and the rules for Board and Commissions from the City of Austin, the regular meeting of the AAC on January 11, 2022 must be held in person at the location and time specified on the posted agenda. Additionally, according to Austin Public Health (APH), Travis County is in Stage 5 of the Covid‐19 risk guidelines. In order to comply with both circumstances, the Department of Aviation will enforce social distancing and mask wearing requirements during the AAC meeting. Due to the size of the meeting room, a limited number of airport staff will be in attendance. Additionally, public seating will be limited to 15 spaces at a time. Once capacity is reached, individuals will be allowed in as others leave. If capacity is reached, there will be a process of allowing speakers to enter the meeting room to address the AAC and immediately exiting the meeting room. Public queuing for the meeting will begin at 2:30PM with admission to the room beginning at 2:55PM. The Department of Aviation apologizes for any inconvenience as we work through this pandemic together.

Cauvin'; 'Curtis Rogers' 815 W.11th (item B-13) -- please support the request for 60' *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hey Planning Commissioners: I hope you’ll vote to support applicant’s request, and staff’s recommendation, for 60 feet of height at 815 W.11th Street. This is item B‐13 on your agenda for Tuesday, Jan. 11. The Downtown Austin Plan was approved over a decade ago. In the years since then, we’ve adopted Imagine Austin (2012), the Strategic Housing Blueprint (2017), the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (2018), and Project Connect (2020). All of these plans argue for a more compact, transit‐oriented central city. Restricting this site to 40 feet of height would fly in the face of all those more recent planning efforts. We really need to start taking climate change seriously. That means allowing greater density in central locations like this that can be served well by transit. I have lived in old homes in this neighborhood since 1990. In my view, the most urgent priority for our neighborhood is to add more housing, as the applicant proposes here. Welcoming new neighbors serves the interests of this neighborhood, this city, and this planet. Thanks for your service, and for considering this input.

January 10, 2022 Applicant: Alice Glasco Case Manager: Wendy Rhodes Wendy.Rhoades@austintexas.gov DATE: TO: CC: FROM: Re: SCCNPCT unable to support C14-2021-0166 – 6424 S. Congress Ave. Re: Dear Planning Commission, From: GR-MU-CO-NP To: GR-MU-V-NP SCCNPCT We, the SCCNPCT will not be able support this development due to the affordable housing not being equal or greater to what other developments have provided to the SCCNPCT – South Congress corridor. • The developer is proposing 95 units mixed with affordable housing at 10% - 80% MFI. • Commercial (V) at ground level will benefit the developer and not the neighborhood. • The developer will build 31-47 units if the variance is not granted. • We the SCCNPCT are asking for 5%- 50%MFI & 5%-60%MFI for a total of 10 units out of 95 units. • We feel that the community is handing over a zoning request, while the developers are not willing to give anything back to the community, therefore, we are unable to support the variance request. • We support recommendations that would provide better affordable housing within the 5%- 50%MFI & 5%-60%MFI range. Thank you, Mario Cantu Chair SCCNPCT
