ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-41 of 8 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for 4.679 acre property located at the southwest corner of FM 969 and Nixon Lane. The property is currently zoned GR-CO and is developed with a single family dwelling facing Nixon Lane; the rest of the property is undeveloped. The existing conditional overlay limits the property to 2,000 vehicular trips per day (v.p.d.). Across FM 969 to the north is a mix of local commercial and residential land uses. A convenience store zoned LR and a large undeveloped parcel zoned LR-MU are directly across from the property. Land zoned SF-2 is also located north of the rezoning tract that contains a single family land use along FM 969, as well as the Agave single family residential neighborhood. Across Nixon Lane to the east is a gas station zoned LR and a liquor store zoned CS-1. Also across Nixon Lane are single family residential uses zoned SF-2. Immediately south of the property is land zoned SF-2 and CS that include a single family residence and a dog kennel. West of the property is land zoned SF-2 and P that contain an overhead electric utility as well as a railroad right-of-way (ROW).

Zoning and Platting Commission FY 2021 Budget Recommendations (Draft) As the City of Austin considers its FY 2021 budget, the Zoning and Platting Commission (ZAP) urges City Council Members to consider how to embed equity in our city’s spending. We stand firmly against racism, historic and ongoing, that continues to define access and opportunity in our city. Along with countless community voices, ZAP calls upon Council to adopt a budget that takes a wholistic approach to public safety. ZAP emphasizes that our community’s health is not measured by the effectiveness of law enforcement, but in the quality of our services, planning, and housing. Our service as ZAP commissioners grants us insight into investments that promote equitable outcomes. Deeply troubled by the legacies and realities of racism in our city, ZAP strongly recommends the following: • Additional funding for Neighborhood Housing and Community Development, including: o Programs that prevent and mitigate displacement which disproportionately impacts o Preservation and creation of more affordable housing across Austin, including in o Additional support for paths to homeownership, critical to addressing our racial communities of color high-opportunity areas wealth gap • Additional funding for Planning and Zoning, including: o Dedicated outreach with communities of color to involve historically excluded groups in planning processes o Additional capacity for Boards and Commissions, to ensure staff and commissioners can thoroughly review cases and consult with community stakeholders o Additional support for small area planning that secures a community voice in shaping how our neighborhoods grow and change • Additional funding for Economic Development, including: o Support for commercial affordability programs that provide capital and technical assistance to minority and women-owned businesses o Support for arts and cultural heritage programming that preserves and celebrates the creative contributions of communities of color o Support for workforce development programs that amplify opportunities and build skills among low-income and minority job seekers • Across all City of Austin departments: o Dedicated resources for public engagement that seeks out and lifts up marginalized o voices Improved digital community engagement that promotes equitable and inclusive participation in public meetings o Equitable allocation of all budgets, services, bonds, and capital investments to communities of color in Austin.
D-01 (Briefing - Lillie Legacy ) — original pdf
Planning in Austin: The Lillie Legacy Richard Ransom Lillie 21 October 1930 -22 June 2020 Born: Merrill, Wisconsin Military: US Navy, 1950-54 College: University of Texas, 1955-58 Georgia Tech, 1961-63 In Memoriam It was on a hot August afternoon in Austin in 1961 when I first met Dick Lillie. As a recent UT graduate, I was checking out job possibilities in city hall. And as it turned out, Dick was leaving for graduate school and his position as a research analyst in the planning department was open. I was hired and Dick spent the next several weeks teaching me the basics of his job. Dick returned to Austin to continue his career in 1965 and when he finally decided to leave almost two decades later, I was again honored to assume his job responsibilities. And he was again there to ensure my smooth transition. While I have often said that I twice replaced Dick, that is actually not true because Dick Lillie was not replaceable! In both 1961 and 1984, all I did was continue his work. Over the past 60 years I have been associated with many many planners and, without hesitancy, I can say that none matched Dick’s caring, competency and character. Dick personified the perfect professional planner. Period! Jim Duncan, FAICP Homecoming Planning Coordinator Assistant Planning Director Planning Director 8 May 1965 12 Apr 1966 4 Dec 1970 Austin Tomorrow “We are not concerned about whether growth, but we want to know when, where and how.” Dick Lillie “Neighborhood planning … allows …a planning system tailored to … individual areas.” “(Residents want) elimination of public and private policies which encourage growth.” Dick Lillie Dick Lillie “If it wasn't for Dick Lillie, the whole thing (Goals Program) would have folded by now.” Dan Love, Mayor Pro Tem Austin Tomorrow 24 Jul 1974 “All my vital signs were vital.

C-01 (Barrera - Ramirez -ZAP Virtual Meeting_DRAFT Resolution.7.6.20) — original pdf
Zoning and Platting Commission Resolution on Virtual Meetings Whereas, since March 2020 the Zoning and Platting Commission has been unable to meet in person due to the stay-home work order resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. It is unknown at this time how long these conditions will last. Whereas, site development and zoning cases continue to be processed by the City of Austin, therefore necessitating the need for decisions by the Zoning and Platting Commission. Whereas, virtual meetings with the use of Cisco WebEx along with analog phone calls have been used by the City of Austin to enable the Zoning and Platting Commission to hold regular meetings. Whereas, call-in public participation allows for more flexibility in participation because citizens can participate from home as opposed to traveling to City Hall to provide feedback. Now Therefore Be It Resolved: That the City Council allow the Zoning and Platting Commission to receive training from the Computer and Technology Management (CTM) staff to optimize the videoconferencing technology used. This includes providing instruction on how to make presentations, share screens, how to enable functions of the platform such as blurring or changing the background of the virtual platform. Be It Further Resolved: To improve public awareness of what is happening during the virtual meeting, staff presenting during the meeting should be included on the screen. Also, pertinent meeting documents such as maps, agenda, and the dynamic speaker list showing the queue of speakers and who is next in the queue should be shown on the screen. Be It Further Resolved: To encourage equitable public participation, provide more clarity and ease of registration. 1.

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Recommendation Number: (20200707-C1) : Virtual Meetings Please see attachment. Date of Approval: July 7, 2020 Record of the vote: Unanimous vote of 10-0; One vacancy on the Commission. Attest: _____________________________________________ Liaison Zoning and Platting Commission Resolution on Virtual Meetings Whereas, since March 2020 the Zoning and Platting Commission has been unable to meet in person due to the stay-home work order resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. It is unknown at this time how long these conditions will last. Whereas, site development and zoning cases continue to be processed by the City of Austin, therefore necessitating the need for decisions by the Zoning and Platting Commission. Whereas, virtual meetings with the use of Cisco WebEx along with analog phone calls have been used by the City of Austin to enable the Zoning and Platting Commission to hold regular meetings. Whereas, call-in public participation allows for more flexibility in participation because citizens can participate from home as opposed to traveling to City Hall to provide feedback. Now Therefore Be It Resolved: That the City Council allow the Zoning and Platting Commission to receive training from the Computer and Technology Management (CTM) staff to optimize the videoconferencing technology used. This includes providing instruction on how to make presentations, share screens, how to enable functions of the platform such as blurring or changing the background of the virtual platform. Be It Further Resolved: Be It Further Resolved: To improve public awareness of what is happening during the virtual meeting, staff presenting during the meeting should be included on the screen. Also, pertinent meeting documents such as maps, agenda, and the dynamic speaker list showing the queue of speakers and who is next in the queue should be shown on the screen. To encourage equitable public participation, provide more clarity and ease of registration. 1. This includes making dial-in instructions available in multiple languages, written instructions so that potential speakers know what to expect during the call, and inclusion of the call-in number in case their call gets dropped. In addition, as soon as the community or stakeholder is notified about a zoning request, the notification should include instructions on how to register to speak on the item within this new system. 2.

With our solutions, we have the ability to make homes larger or smaller using our grid building system. If 200 sq ft is too small, our modular building design can be increased in 200 sq ft increments with ease, meaning you can have a customized unit that is 200 sq ft to 1000 sq ft (and above) using our patent-pending 10-ft wall system. The unit can be put together in hours by 4-people with no specialized tools or heavy machinery in a flat-packed profile with electricity, kitchenette and full bathroom.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION City of Austin Commission on Veterans Affairs Recommendation Number: Kiro Action Veterans Transitional Housing Program (KAVTHP) WHEREAS, the City of Austin Commission on Veterans Affairs was chartered in 2013 by City Council to advocate solutions to Austin Veterans homelessness, housing, employment, education/training, women issues, PTSD/mental health and counseling. WHEREAS, the Commission on Veteran Affairs, (Commission) is authorized by Austin City Code 2-1-126 to serve as an advisory body to council concerning the well-being of military veterans in the Austin area. WHEREAS, Veterans homelessness in Austin is complicated by the lack of affordable housing leases within Austin with close proximity to resource providers, employers and infrastructure. Vouchers and third-party lease payments often are not enough to lease acceptable housing within Austin, further, public transportation with access to Veterans service providers and work are a challenge and limit housing options for Veterans. WHEREAS, Veterans employment, education, training, women and family counseling, PTSD/mental health, healthcare, and VA benefits counseling are scattered throughout Austin and decentralized; making access to vital and necessary services difficult for some Veterans with disabilities, limited economic, mobility and transportation resources. WHEREAS, the Commission is specifically authorized to recommend programs designed to support the well-being of military veterans in Austin. Veteran homelessness has been a particular issue affecting veterans nationally, and Austin, as a whole. At the date of drafting the Commission recommendation in Austin, there are 123 unsheltered veterans on a high-priority list to receive housing due to medical conditions and physical disabilities, 103 on the normal list to receive housing and an average of thirty-eight (38) veterans that become homeless every month in Travis County. All the homeless veterans referenced are signed-up in assistance programs, but will continue to stay homeless upwards of 90-days until housing is found and is dependent on current market rental and affordable housing in Austin. WHEREAS, the Commission received a request from the Kiro Action Group, to create program called the “Kiro Action Veterans Transitional Housing Program”, (KAVTHP). The program will house one-hundred (100) veterans in need of transitional housing in a pilot program with the goal of expanding the program on successful deployment. KAVTHP asks for assistance and support in their request from the City of Austin. KAVTHP requests assistance from the City of Austin to dedicate under-utilized city-owned land to deploy Kiro Action homes in 3-10 locations spread across districts in the city and locations chosen in partnership with …

City of Austin 301 W 2nd St, Austin, TX 78701 (512) 974-2000, Fax (512) 972-9876 COLLEGE STUDENT COMMISSION OFFICIAL PUBLIC STATEMENT June 29, 2020 To Whom It May Concern, As members of the City of Austin College Student Commission, we have all been specially selected by our respective college campuses to represent our colleges and/or universities. Furthermore, we have been established and authorized by the members of the Austin City Council to advise the City on topics that affect college students here in the City of Austin. While we certainly do understand that our main focus and priority should continue to remain on colleges and universities here in the City of Austin, we have also recognized that the academic success and the well-being of every K-12 student here in the City of Austin will directly impact the future enrollment of all Austin area colleges and/or universities. The College Student Commission feels that it is pertinent that we also advocate on behalf of the younger K-12 student population as well. For background purposes, the City of Austin both historically and in present time has continued to have a college student population that is approximately greater than or equal to about 100,000+ college students. Furthermore, the City of Austin has continued to have an estimated 80,000+ K-12 students as well. As you might already be aware, both the use of force and violent policing tactics have continued to be utilized by School Resource Officers (SROs) within a number of Austin ISD schools, as well as by several University Police Department (UPD) officers across multiple college campuses here in the City of Austin. This has done nothing but mirror the national crisis of police brutality in these environments across the entire United States of America. For decades, the use of policing in educational facilities has allowed for the school-to-prison pipeline system to be enforced, in which Black and Hispanic students have faced extremely disproportionate high rates of discipline and referrals to institutions such as the Travis County Juvenile Detention Center, JJAEP, DAEP, the Alternative Learning Center, as well as the broader prison system in which most adult students are referred to. Ultimately, this highly inappropriate level of school discipline has prevented thousands, if not millions of students from receiving the educational opportunities and outcomes that they deserve. The deeper- rooted problems that result in student misconduct such as poverty, homelessness, food insecurities, mental …
