Planning Commission Resolution regarding Posting of Backup Materials Whereas the Texas Open Meetings Act requires that agendas for public meetings be posted at least 72 hours in advance. As the Planning Commission meets on Tuesdays at 6 pm, the practice of the staff has been to post the agenda on the Friday prior to a meeting by 3 pm. Whereas staff has also had the practice of posting backup by Thursday at 3 pm which includes the size and location of property, the staff recommendation, case manager comments, area case histories, information about the environment, maps, letters in support and opposition, and other useful information. Whereas the members of the Commission and the public should understand the details about the items on the agenda, and there are no rules requiring that backup be posted, Therefore, be it resolved, the following underlined text will be added to the RULES OF PROCEDURE of the Planning Commission, Section 1.400 : “Notices of meetings shall be in writing and shall be sent to all members at least two days in advance of the meetings and shall include the size and location of properties, the staff recommendations, case manager comments, area case histories, information about the environment, maps, and letters in support or opposition for each case included on the agenda, or the “Staff Report”, “Neighborhood Plan Amendment Review Sheet”, or the “Zoning Change Review Sheet” whichever is more readily available.” Agenda items for which no backup information is posted at least two days in advance of the meeting will be postponed at the discretion of the commission.

Shuttle, Jr.) Request: PUD-NP to PUD-NP, to change in condition of zoning TO: Jonathan Tomko, Case Manager DATE: September 8, 2024 FROM: Frances Barton and Dick Leverich, property owners, 701 Patterson Avenue We live at 701 Patterson Avenue, a distance of 533 feet from our back door to the pickleball court at 1717 West 6th Street. The height of the court elevation is the same elevation as our house. The irregularly spaced, constant, high-pitched clicking sound of the racket hitting the ball is a continuous distraction. Dick, a retired physician, can hear the sound even without his hearing aids. He has a 30 decibel loss of hearing at the frequency of the pickleball sound. We support the objections raised by the Old West Austin Neighborhood Association (OWANA) to the application. If no agreement is reached by OWANA and the applicant we urge the city to deny the request and encourage the applicant to work with OWANA on a sensible plan. Thank you for considering our position in support of OWANA. Sincerely, Frances Barton and Dick Leverich 701 Patterson Avenue Austin, Texas 78703 Email to Jonathan Tomko 9/8/2024 9:25pm From Tommy Dunn Dear Chair Hempel and Planning Commissioners, The Old West Austin Neighborhood Association, OWANA, opposes the 1717 W 6th Street PUD Ame ndment changing a condition of zoning. This is not just a rezoning case to get more height, addition al uses or increased FAR. It is also about rectifying a use blatantly non- compliant with current zoning. Last fall Aquila, the building owner, and Austin Pickle Ranch, a tenant, constructed eight new pickl eball courts on the top level of the existing parking garage. In addition to the courts, five new pole floodlights were installed on the north perimeter adjacent to W 6th Street and the exis ting security light poles were changed out to include one flood light per pole. These courts are an ill egal use under the current PUD and the improvements were constructed without a building permit.

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Hello Kalan Contreras Attached please find my protest for the public hearing pertaining to the property at 3311 Lafayette Ave Case # CI4H-2024-0100. I do hope as a long-time property owner of two properties in the 3200 block of Lafayette that my response will be seriously taken under consideration. My 2 properties are at 3212 Lafayette and 3203 Lafayette. 1. We do not need additional traffic on Lafayette Av when it is already a cut through with a lot of traffic. 2. We do not need additional parking issues which we already have. 3. The City of Austin will only set a precedence by allowing this zoning change. 4. We DO NOT need more density in the neighborhood. With the potential changes to the IH35 corridor this IH35 project will force more traffic on cut throughs like Lafayette Av. because of the construction issues. Let me know if you need further assistance or have additional questions. Thank You! Robert Shaw 512-517-5559 3212 Lafayette 3203 Lafyette CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.

This is not just a rezoning case to get more height, additional uses or increased FAR. It is also about rectifying a use blatantly non-compliant with current zoning. Last fall Aquila, the building owner, and Austin Pickle Ranch, a tenant, constructed eight new pickleball courts on the top level of the existing parking garage.

These courts are an illegal use under the current PUD and the improvements were constructed without a building permit. This new business began operating October 1st, 2023 seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Within a few weeks the neighbors began to be concerned about the noise and lights and contacted Aquila to set up a meeting with Austin Pickle Ranch. The nearby neighbors advised that the noise and light from pickleball was becoming a nuisance. For weeks after the meeting, no remediation effort was noticed by the neighbors. Amplified sound was coming from the court area and every night the lights were left on until sunrise. Another meeting in mid-November between the parties resulted in an agreement to get back in touch with the neighbors in 45 days. But after 45 days, there was no response. The lights, amplified sound and the repetitive impulsive sound frequency of the pickleball volleys created a distressing environmental condition and disrupted the quality of life of the immediate neighbors. In January, Aquila requested a meeting with OWANA’s zoning committee. We met on February 1st and were told that Aquila would be filing an amendment to their PUD and wanted to notify us and discuss the issues the neighbors were having with pickleball and try to rectify the situation. We were told lights would be turned off …
