Water Forward Task Force (WFTF) Water Forward 2024 Implementation Working Group May 13, 2025 Meeting Notes Teams Meeting, 12:00 pm Attendees: Paul DiFiore, WFTF Hani Michel, WFTF Marisa Flores Gonzalez, Austin Water Emily Rafferty, Austin Water Jennifer Walker, WFTF Water Forward 2024 Water Management Strategies Update ASR Update Marisa Flores Gonzalez provided an update on the Aquifer Storage and Recovery Project and recapped related Legislative updates. Marisa went over the original planned timeline for the ASR project. • Phase 1a - Desktop Study to identify most viable location for the project (2021-late 2023) • Phase 1b – Exploratory drilling and field testing. Will involve drilling test wells and conducting water quality testing in a laboratory setting. (Not started) • Phase 2 – Pilot ASR testing. Will involve injecting drinking water into a well to test water quality, operational, and other parameters. (Not started) • Phase 3 – Full scale ASR design and construction. (Not started) Marisa shared that AW completed the preliminary analysis desktop study analysis in late 2023. The team identified a potential location for field testing. Austin Water had begun initial community engagement regarding the proposed ASR project in 2022. Following feedback, outreach was paused in late 2023 to ensure communication proceeded in appropriate stakeholder order. In December of 2024, House Bill 1523 was filed by Representative Stan Gerdes that would prohibit an Austin Water ASR project within the Lost Pines Groundwater Conservation District jurisdiction. A working group was created by Representative Gerdes that included City of Austin and Bastrop stakeholders, including Bastrop County officials, City of Bastrop officials, utility providers, and the Lost Pines Groundwater Conservation District. This group began meeting on April 7th to discuss creating a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and share technical information related to the desktop study and the City of Austin’s plans for field testing. Marisa shared that there will be another working group meeting on May 19th to continue to discuss the MOU and partnership framework. The priorities of these discussions include safeguarding the aquifer and learning about desired community benefits in Bastrop County. A public hearing was held on April 23, 2025 regarding HB 1523.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to offer my wholehearted recommendation and support for The Acre as they seek to maintain their zoning rights to continue operating their exceptional daycare and boarding facility for dogs. As a longtime client of The Acre, I can confidently attest to the outstanding quality of care, professionalism, and dedication the staff shows to every animal in their care. My dog, Goose, has been attending daycare and has boarded at the facility on several occasions, and each experience has exceeded my expectations. The facility is clean, secure, and thoughtfully designed to ensure the comfort and safety of all animals, while also providing them with ample enrichment and social interaction. Not to mention the field they have for the dogs, ensure they are reaching adequate exercise time to make sure our dogs stay healthy. What truly sets The Acre apart is their deep commitment to each pet’s well-being. When Goose was recovering from surgery, the staff provided him with a safe, quiet, and closely monitored environment during the day—something that was an enormous help to me as a working pet owner. Knowing he was in capable and caring hands allowed me to focus on work without worrying about his recovery. That level of support goes above and beyond typical care and speaks volumes about the integrity and compassion of the team. The Acre provides a much-needed service to our community, supporting local pet owners who rely on quality care for their animals during workdays, travel, or emergencies. Their continued operation is not only a benefit to their clients and pets but also contributes positively to the neighborhood by promoting responsible pet ownership and providing local employment. I strongly urge the city to recognize the vital role this facility plays and support their request to maintain zoning approval. It is rare to find a business so devoted to excellence, compassion, and community. Sincerely, Troy, District 6 02 NPA-2024-0020.01 - 6201 Crow Lane; District 21 of 3 Millie thrived with the special attention and structure the Acre gave her. She was adopted as a one-year-old from the shelter and had human reactivity and resource guarding. Yet, she loved other dogs so much that we saw behavioral improvements from her learning to trust humans from them through play. We knew that play groups with other dogs where they showed her humans weren’t too bad was the key …

Dear Ms. Middleton-Pratt: As representatives of the owner of the Property, we respectfully request a postponement of zoning case no. C14-2025-0039 on the June 10, 2025, Planning Commission agenda to the June 24, 2025, Planning Commission agenda. This postponement is intended to allow additional time to respond to the concerns from the Galindo Elementary Neighborhood Association (GENA). Please let me know if you have any questions or if we can provide any additional information. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, Drew Raffaele cc: Marcelle Boudreaux, Planning Department (via electronic delivery) Joi Harden, Planning Department (via electronic delivery) 2705 Bee Cave Road, Suite 100 | Austin, Texas 78746 | 512-807-2900 | www.drennergroup.com 07 C14-2025-0039 - 1305 W Oltorf; District 31 of 1
Planning Commission Meeting of June 10, 2025 C14-2025-0039 Marcelle Boudreaux 1305 W.Oltorf Street Dear Planning Commission Members, The Galindo Elementary Neighborhood Association, GENA, voted at our general membership meeting of May 19 to oppose the rezoning request for 1305 W. Oltorf Street from CS-General Commercial Services District to CS-V, General Commercial Services District with Vertical Mixed Use Building (V) Combining District. The FEMA floodplain maps show a portion of 1305 W. Oltorf street is in the floodplain and is adjacent to a large floodplain on its back border. The west side of the property is flanked by the Union Pacific railroad tracks and the property's driveway is adjacent to the the railroad crossing on Oltorf. Attached are a video and frame grabs captured at 1305 W.Oltorf Street during the historic flood of October 2015. During this flooding event which had rainfall amounts of 10-12 inches in hours, the Travis County Constable and residents of the adjacent Woodview Mobile Home Park had to be evacuated by boat. As noted in the Notice of Public Hearing, CS-General Commercial Services District is intended predominantly for commercial and industrial activities of a service nature having operating characteristics or traffic service requirements generally incompatible with residential environments. This site is not appropriate for residential use. The railroad crossing, floodplain and the geographic features of the site make it unsuitable and unsafe for residences. All three of the Future Land Use Maps (last updated in 2006) generated by GENA and the city's planning department show this site as CS only because of the known risks. Unfortunately, the applicant was granted a waiver on the required traffic study despite known and documented traffic and flooding issues at this site; claiming traffic trips will be reduced when the project is built. Oltorf is also a major east-west route across South Austin and has frequent traffic jams extending for several blocks in both directions at the railroad crossing. Since 2015, impervious cover has greatly increased in the central city and flood mitigation efforts have been an underfunded priority until recently. With the recent flooding and deaths in central Austin, it is in the best interests of the city to put the safety and wellbeing of their residents first. GENA welcomes development that is appropriate for this site and does not put our residents and the lives of first responders in danger. We urge all of you to vote no …

Amos, Chair Renae Alsobrook, Mark Ashby, Evelyn Fujimoto, Adrienne Goldsberry, Paula Hern, Nick Mehl, William Osborn, Charlie Rice, Paul Shattuck, Shawn Shillington, Erika Tatum, Meghan Yancy June 8, 2025 RE: Item 8 C14-2025-0043 - 608 Blanco Dear Chair Azhar and Members of the Planning Commission, The Old West Austin Neighborhood Association (OWANA) is writing to express our support for the proposed rezoning of 608 Blanco Street from MF4-HD-NP to LR-MU-CO-HD-NP. We believe this rezoning, with its accompanying Conditional Overlay and Restrictive Covenant, represents a thoughtful and balanced approach to land use that supports the continued vitality of our neighborhood while respecting its character and historical context. The conditions proposed—particularly the prohibited uses outlined in the Conditional Overlay and the hours of operation and other provisions included in the Restrictive Covenant—reflect meaningful community input and help ensure that any future development remains compatible with surrounding residential and historic uses. We appreciate the efforts made by Riverside Resources to reach a compromise that promotes smart, contextual development. Provided that the Conditional Overlay and Restrictive Covenant are upheld and enforced as currently outlined, OWANA believes this project will bring long-term benefit to the area and contribute positively to the broader goals of the neighborhood plan. Thank you for your time and your continued service to the community. I respectfully urge you to support this rezoning request. Sincerely, Stephen L. Amos Steering Committee Chair Old West Austin Neighborhood Association 08 C14-2025-0043 - 608 Blanco; District 91 of 1
June 5, 2025 RE: 2024-128390 LM Right-of-Way Vacation Dear Chair Hempel and Planning Commissioners, My husband and I are residents of the Old West Austin neighborhood and members of the Old West Austin Neighborhood Association (OWANA). I am writing to state OWANA’s continued opposition to the proposed closure of Sayers Street (Application No. 2024-128390 LM). As neighborhood residents we are also opposed to closure of the street, and the application also lacks support from all adjacent property owners. Sayers Street is an essential service corridor used daily by adjacent property owners and businesses for deliveries, infrastructure access, and safe traffic circulation away from pedestrian-oriented neighborhood streets like 5th, 6th, and Walsh. The claim that it is under-utilized or orphaned is simply false. For example, Walsh Ventures 2, LLC has a long-standing business that depends on Sayers for large vehicle access that will be cut off if the street is closed. Additionally, their site plan for a mixed-use development with 25 affordable housing units depends on the continued public use of Sayers for access, loading, garage entry, and utility placement. This development has broad community support and is nearing key milestones. Approving this vacation would directly undermine that progress and the City of Austin's stated housing and mobility goals. We feel that a private party should not be allowed to vacate an active public right-of-way that serves critical community functions and provides access to multiple properties. 12 2024-128390 LM - 1114 W 5th Street; District 91 of 100 It is not within a private applicant’s authority to override existing public use or force access concessions for private benefit. We urge the Commission to reject this petition and uphold the public interest in preserving access to Sayers Street.

From the Home of Evelyn M. Fujimoto 29 April 2029 Mayor Kirk Watson and City Council Members Austin City Council City Hall, Council Chamber 301 W 2nd St. Austin, Texas 78701 United States of America Subject: Item 50: 2024-128390 LM Right-of-Way Vacation Dear Mayor Watson and City Council Members: I strongly oppose the proposed vacation of Sayers Street initiated by Anchor Equities and scheduled for the May 8th hearing. The proposal has already received unanimous opposition from the Urban Transportation Commission and was formally denied by the Transportation and Public Works Department. I live in a multi-family housing development located on a block bounded by W. 6th , W. 5th , Oakland, and Pressler Streets, in close proximity to Sayers Street. The proposed closure would adversely impact my community experience. The Old West Austin Neighborhood Association (OWANA), along with the owners of 503 and 505 Walsh Street, firmly support Sayers Street remaining open. This corridor is essential for pedestrian safety, service vehicle access, and future development viability. It provides critical infrastructure support - trash collection, deliveries, and transformer placement - while keeping such functions off pedestrian friendly streets. District 9 Council Member Qadri supports the UTC and staff recommendations to keep Walsh Street open based on the facts of this case, including that the area property owners were not in agreement. Sayers Street is also vital for businesses at 503 and 505 Walsh, whose operations had relied on large delivery vehicles that cannot access the properties from Walsh due to topography. Claims that the street is used only by retail customers are demonstrably false. Additionally, the planned “Sixth and Walsh” mixed-use development, which includes 25 affordable housing units, depends on continued public access to Sayers Street for utilities, loading, and garage access. Vacating the street would stall the project and increase traffic congestion on Walsh Street. United States of America 1501 W. 6th Street Villa West E3 Austin, Texas 78703 +1 832 648 0623 emarimoto@yahoo.com 12 2024-128390 LM - 1114 W 5th Street; District 982 of 100 City Council Page 2 Evelyn M. Fujimoto We are concerned that Anchor Equities, which owns adjacent parcels, is seeking to privatize Sayers for future development. Despite claims of no immediate redevelopment plans, such intentions seem inconsistent with ongoing development activity in the area. The petition for vacation identifies only the portion of Sayers Street that runs east and west, not the portion that …

Dear Mr. Mendoza, As representatives of the owner of the Property, we respectfully request we request an indefinite postponement of the Right of Way Vacation application filed September 21, 2024, under file number 2024-128390 LM, on the Planning Commission agenda for Tuesday, June 10, 2025. While this right of way vacation application is on pause we propose to work through the necessary details with City staff and the adjacent property owner to the west. Our intent is to renotify this request for a public hearing after the adjacent owner’s site plan no. SP-2024-0428C.SH has been approved by the City. Please let me know if you or your team members require additional information or have any questions. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Sincerely, Leah M.
