Getting Broadband Q&A What Is broadband? Broadband or high-speed Internet access allows users to access the Internet and Internet-related services at significantly higher speeds than those available through "dial-up" services. Broadband speeds vary significantly depending on the technology and level of service ordered. Broadband services for residential consumers typically provide faster downstream speeds (from the Internet to your computer) than upstream speeds (from your computer to the Internet). How does it work? Broadband allows users to access information via the Internet using one of several high-speed transmission technologies. Transmission is digital, meaning that text, images, and sound are all transmitted as "bits" of data. The transmission technologies that make broadband possible move these bits much more quickly than traditional telephone or wireless connections, including traditional dial-up Internet access connections. What are its advantages? ▪ Broadband is an important tool for expanding educational and economic opportunities for consumers in remote locations. ▪ Broadband allows you to take advantage of services not available or not convenient to use with a dial-up Internet connection, such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), an alternative to traditional voice telephone service. ▪ Broadband makes "telemedicine" possible: patients in rural areas can confer online with medical specialists in more urban areas and share information and test results very quickly. ▪ Broadband helps you efficiently access and use many reference and cultural resources via the Internet. ▪ You also need broadband to best take advantage of many distance learning opportunities, like online college or university courses, and continuing or senior education programs. ▪ Broadband allows you to shop online more quickly and efficiently. What types are available? Broadband can be provided over different platforms: ▪ Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) ▪ Cable Modem ▪ Fiber ▪ Wireless ▪ Satellite The broadband technology you choose will depend on a number of factors. These include how broadband Internet access is packaged with other services (like voice telephone and home entertainment), price and service availability.

The following are types of DSL transmission technologies: ▪ Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) – used primarily by residential customers. ADSL typically provides faster speed in …

PROPERTY OWNER: Third NHP Holdings LP AGENT: Site Specifics (John Hussey) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMEDATION: Staff recommends GR-CO, Community Commercial-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit the following uses on the property: Automotive Repair Services, Automotive Sales, Automotive Washing (of any type), Bail Bond Services, Club or Lodge, Commercial Off-Street Parking, Drop Off Recycling Collection Facility, Exterminating Services, Funeral Services, Hotel/Motel, Off-Site Accessory Parking, Outdoor Entertainment, Outdoor Sports and Recreation, Pawn Shop Services and Service Station.

Greenberg-1st and C. Thompson-2nd. June 7, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 11B-1 C14-2022-0041 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 2 The property in question is a suite developed with a restaurant use and a parking area within a commercial strip center that fronts Anderson Mill Road. The lots to the north, across Anderson Mill Road, contain single family residences. The tracts of land to the south and east are developed with public schools (Deer Park Middle School and Live Oak Elementary School). To the west, there is an undeveloped tract of land and townhouse residences zoned LR-MU-CO. In this request, the applicant is asking to zone the property to GR, Community Commercial District, zoning to bring the existing uses on the site into conformance with City of Austin Land Use regulations. The staff is recommending GR-CO, Community Commercial-Conditional Overlay District, zoning for the property under consideration.

The applicant agrees with the staff’s recommendation. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought.

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 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 13B-2 C14-2022-0044 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: 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 there is already a light at the intersection of Parke Drive and F.M. 620, to the north. Parke Drive and Zimmerman Lane will not …

WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes the site is located in the Onion Creek, Suburban Watershed and Desired Development Zone; and WHEREAS, the Environmental Commission recognizes that Staff recommends this variance, (with two staff conditions) having determined the required Findings of Fact have been met. THEREFORE, the Environmental Commission recommends the variance request with the following: Staff Conditions: 1. Internal low-traffic pedestrian walkways throughout the site shall be constructed with permeable pavers or porous pavement in accordance with the Environmental Criteria Manual, to decrease overall impervious cover and increase stormwater infiltration onsite and baseflow in the stream channel. 2. The critical water quality zone will be crossed with a span bridge design instead of the normal box culvert. This will allow for light to penetrate to the natural ground surface and for vegetation to grow thus maintaining a more natural stream channel. and the following Environmental Commission Conditions: 1. The project will use biofiltration in both water quality ponds onsite. 2. The pond will not occur in the inner half critical water quality zone.
