PROPERTY OWNER: Udaya and Uma Kumar AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Alice Glasco) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends SF-6, Townhouse and Condominium Residence district, zoning. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 7, 2022: Postponed to June 21, 2022 at the applicant's request by consent (9-0, N. Barrera-Ramirez and L. Stern-absent); H. Smith-1st, B. Greenberg-2nd. June 21, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 13B-2 C14-2022-0044 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a 7.63 acre undeveloped tract of land that takes access to Zimmerman Lane. The area to the north is undeveloped. To the south, across Zimmerman Lane there is an undeveloped tract of land zoned MF-2 and an apartment complex that was zoned PUD as part of the Four Points Centre Planned Unit Development that takes access to North FM 620 Road. To the east, along Zimmerman Lane, there are single family residences zoned DR and townhouse/condominium residences zoned SF-6-CO at the end of Zimmerman Lane. The property to the west, at the northeast corner of N. FM 620 Road, is developed with a convenience storage/vehicle storage use (Longhorn Boat & Camper Storage) zoned SF-2 that was constructed prior to annexation by the city. The applicant in this case is requesting to rezone this site from DR, Development Reserve District, zoning to MF-3, Multifamily Residence-Medium Density district, zoning to construct a 150-unit multifamily use at this location. This tract of land fronts onto Zimmerman Lane, a twenty foot wide collector street that dead ends into a cul-de-sac. Originally, Zimmerman Lane was projected to connect with Forsythia Drive, to the east, as part of the Arterial 8 extension. Arterial 8 (Forsythia Drive) was planned to be a ninety-foot arterial roadway that was to connect Loop 360 to Yaupon Drive. The City of Austin has deleted the plans to construct Arterial 8, due in part to BCCP issues and because of the City’s purchase of the Stennis Tract. Zimmerman Lane is a county roadway that was annexed by the city of Austin in 1997. There are no planned improvements for this portion of Zimmerman Lane and there will not be a traffic light constructed at the intersection of Zimmerman Lane and F.M. 620 because …

Item 4: Draft Resolution on Texas Gas Service Conservation Programs — original pdf
Proposed Resolution on Texas Gas Service Conservation Programs Whereas the City of Austin has mandated that Texas Gas Service (TGS) conduct energy conservation programs since 1985; and Whereas the programs are expected to save natural gas at the same or less cost than purchasing it; and Whereas some of the Residential programs are failing to achieve this economic goal, with a cost to Central Texas ratepayers of almost $2 million a year; and Whereas the programs are also expected to help the environment by preventing fossil fuel use, but are failing to effectively achieve this with rebates for certain Residential appliances; and Whereas the City Council may adjust TGS's energy conservation program funding mechanism and structure on an annual basis before November 30 of each year; and Whereas the Resource Management Commission is charged with providing feedback and recommendations regarding gas conservation efforts; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Resource Management Commission recommends that the Austin City Council make the following modifications to the Texas Gas Service conservation program for the budget year 2023 and thereafter: 1. The exclusion of rebates for natural gas equipment in new construction, as incentivizing natural gas use in new construction is not currently compatible with the City’s Climate Equity Plan targeting net zero carbon by 2040, including the focus area of Sustainable Buildings. Specifically, the plan has the following goal by 2030, which is incompatible with encouraging fossil fuel combustion in new construction: “All new buildings are net-zero carbon, emissions from existing buildings are reduced by 25%, and all natural gas-related emissions are reduced by 30% “ (https://www.austintexas.gov/page/austin-climate- equity-plan) 2. The elimination of rebates in existing Residential buildings for clothes washers, central furnaces, and tankless water heaters; 3. Encouragement for Texas Gas Service to seek cooperation with and co-funding from local water utilities for gas conservation programs focused on water-saving technologies such as low-flow showerheads, aerators, and commercial dish rinsers. AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Resource Management Commission recommends that City Council ask Texas Gas Service to repurpose money saved from these new policies to fund a pilot program for an income-verified discount for low-income customers and Research & Development of renewable energy that can be used in place of conventional natural gas.

Community Letter on Historic Preservation of 4th Street LGBTQ Corridor — original pdf
May 25, 2022 Terri Myers, Chair City of Austin Historic Landmark Commission Dear Ms. Myers, Re: 310-312 Colorado St, 201-209 W 4th St, and 211 W 4th St Preservation Austin exists to empower Austinites to shape a more inclusive, resilient, and meaningful community culture through preservation. We write to you today to address the alarming losses that our LGBTQIA community may face with the proposed demolitions of 310-312 Colorado St (DA-2022-040962;GF-2022-047912), 201-209 W 4th St (DA-2022-040962;GF-2022-047912), and 211 W 4th St (DA-2022-040962;GF-2022-047912). We ask the Historic Landmark Commission to reject the proposed demolitions and support historic zoning for these significant properties in the areas of Community Value and Architecture. These cases aligns with Preservation Austin’s Underrepresented Heritage Advocacy Priority for their associations with Austin’s LGQBTIA community. Since adopting this priority, Preservation Austin’s Advocacy Committee and our Fowler Family Underrepresented Heritage Interns have done extensive research into Austin’s LGBTQIA heritage and the sites associated with it, many of which are no longer extant. To date, no historic landmarks, markers, or designations honor Austin’s LGBTQIA heritage. This problem is not unique to Austin––scholars Camden Miller and Alex Bitterman aptly summarized this phenomenon in their essay “Commemorating Historically Significant Gay Places Across the United States”: “Gay spaces across the United States are steeped in important and ephemeral history. However, the stories of these spaces—and the people that lived the struggle to gain LGBTQ+ rights—are largely unrecorded, undocumented, and are not centrally collected or archived beyond Wikipedia entries and oral histories. Many gay places and gay neighborhoods have no formal means of recognition or historic protection such as those that are available to other classifications of landmarks from state or federal agencies. The pioneering generation that gave rise to the LGBTQ+ rights movement is aging and the time to capture the unprecedented—and largely undocumented—history of their efforts and struggle is endangered.” Preservation Austin remains committed to researching and protecting the spaces vital to our city’s LGBTQIA heritage. We believe it is important to do so because this is a story that is not often told, but one that is essential to the complete story of Austin. The Warehouse District has been home to a vibrant queer community for many decades, and within its walls and on its streets the very history of Austin’s LGBTQIA community has been written. We heard from the Hanover company as they attempted to deny and downplay the historic associations …

A Food Plan for Austin Developing the City’s first -ever Food Plan What is a Food System? The Office of Sustainability defines the food system as an interconnected network that includes everything that happens with food —where and how it is grown, distributed and sold, consumed, and ideally recovered.
