These houses have a special place on this main thoroughfare that was once a bustling and lively, predominantly African American community. 1007 Chicon faces Huston-Tillotson University and speaks to me every time I walk past of the relationship of the homes and stores on that side of Chicon and the University community across the street. 1007 Chicon St. is a beautiful example of the Texas vernacular that defines many central Austin neighborhoods since the late turn of the last century. What steps will you take to protect and preserve it? Thank you.

Page 1 of 1 page

To: City Council of Austin From: Urban Renewal Board Date: November 15, 2021 Subject: Land Use Regulations in the proposed Urban Renewal Plan and Neighborhood Conservation Combining Districts The Urban Renewal Board (URB) engaged in a multiyear effort to update the Urban Renewal Plan (URP) and the East 11th and 12th Street Neighborhood Conservation Combining Districts (NCCDs). The Board’s recommendations were formed with the assistance of consultants, staff, and community input. The URB refined the list of neighborhood-oriented and pedestrian-friendly land uses in the URP and NCCDs to support active streets that serve the community. In response to concerns from stakeholders about the reduction of uses allowed for some properties:  The Board supports proposed regulations which continue to allow uses that are permitted or conditional under current regulations if they support the goals of the URP. The URB intended through the “save and except” provision in the proposed URP and NCCDs that the uses listed by address, including existing single family houses, remain legal and are not subject to non- conforming regulations. In response to legal concerns about this section, City staff is recommending the creation of a new permitted use, “conforming”, that will be defined as a use that conformed to the regulations in effect at the time the use was established and existed on the date of adoption of the proposed ordinance.  The Board supports the most appropriate mechanism to reduce the impact of non-conforming regulations on existing legal uses outlined in the “save and except” provision. This may include but is not limited to, inclusion of the “conforming” land use or other adjustments to the land use charts. The URB does not plan to hold any additional meetings to specifically discuss proposed land use regulations and will defer to Council regarding any changes as reflected above.

Zilker Eagle Mural Detail About Austin Parks Foundation About Austin Parks Foundation • For nearly 30 years, APF has partnered with our community to enhance people’s lives by making our public parks, trails and green spaces better through volunteerism, innovative programming, advocacy and financial support. • With a focus on creating equitable access to great parks for all Austinites, APF is helping fill the city's parks funding and resource gap. Funding initiatives like APF’s community-initiated grants have distributed over $3.5 million since 2006, and the annual flagship volunteer event, It’s My Park Day, results in an average of $650,000 in volunteer labor each year. • APF also fosters unique public/private partnerships like the Zilker Train and empowers neighbors all over the city to create a parks system that serves their needs. About Zilker Eagle About Zilker Eagle • Since 1961, a mini train has run in Zilker Park. The previous train, the Zilker Zephyr, went out of commission in May 2019. • Because of our partnership with the City’s Parks & Recreation Dept., and nearly 30 years of proven results, we were contacted to help find an interim solution while Zilker Park undergoes a vision planning process to build a new, long-term plan for the park. • We will operate the Zilker Eagle with proceeds benefiting parks across Austin, while the community has a chance to determine how the train fits into the new vision for the park and its future. Mural Selection Process Mural Selection Process • • Proposals were requested from April-May of 2021 and shared with artist collectives such as HOPE, SprayTX, and Raasin in the Sun, and with art and park partners as well as shared via APF's website, social media and a press release. • APF received about 20 proposals, and scored them based on our internal rubric which took into account the artists' identity (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, gender, etc.) as well as the artists' past work and experience, and how well their proposal addressed the stated goals of the work - namely including community members of all backgrounds, bridging the gap between old and new Austin, and a demonstrated understanding of the audiences this piece should appeal to. • Once scored, the top 10 were then ranked by a broad swath of community members including APF board and staff, volunteers, park adopters, community partners, and Austin youth with a focus on bringing in the perspectives …
