Commissioner Azhar Questions: 1. Is the Planning Commission required to take action on this item at the December 14 meeting or can any potential action be postponed to allow for more discussion and time for consideration? Staff Response: Because the applicant invoked Section 25-2-282(E) of the Land Development Code, the case must be heard on the scheduled date. 2. Backup from the Small Area Planning Joint Committee meeting on December 8 states, "The Framework Vision Plan provides estimates of affordable housing contributions by tract, with this tract estimated as providing 4% of on-site units as affordable." Can staff please help me in locating this detail on the plan, I am unable to find it. Staff Response: The details of affordable housing can be found in the Appendices to the SCW Vision Framework Plan. Please go to the SCW Initiative Webpage at: https://www.austintexas.gov/department/south-central- waterfront-initiative for links to download the Vision Framework Plan and Appendices. Within the Appendices, please go to page 49 for the “Test Scenario Results”. The Affordable Housing component is found midway down on the page. This PUD contains buildings S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5 (see page 48) from the plan. From the Test Scenario Results, Affordable Housing is only listed in S5 for 40 units. 3. How will the plan's overall goal of dedicating 20% of all residential units as affordable be realized? What tracts outside of the PUD will contribute to this goal and what is the timeline for the creation of that housing? Staff Response: • The Framework Plan anticipates affordable units being provided on-site. • Affordable units will be funded with a combination of private and public funds. • Other properties in the SCW district that are eligible to participate will either: o Provide on-site affordable units (for residential projects) o Pay a district fee (for non-residential projects) • The Framework Plan has a 20-year timeline, but the creation of affordable housing will depend on the pace of redevelopment in the SCW district. • The One Texas Center site has been identified as a potential location for affordable housing to help meet the 20% goal. 4. In the event that the project is developed without any residential use, the applicant is required to pay a fee-in- lieu equal to the PUD fee rate. Based on the current rate, can staff share how this compares with the $450,000 per condo unit fee indicated otherwise in …

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20211214-03B Date: December 14, 2021 Subject: Commitment to meeting the 20% affordable housing goal in the South Central Waterfront Vision Seconded By: Commissioner Thompson Motioned By: Commissioner Tolliver 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; 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; 1 of 2 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 the incentives provided in the existing …
