American Bird Conservancy Model Bird-Friendly Building Guidelines December 2020 These model, or ideal, guidelines are intended to be a starting point for cities, towns, villages, counties, states, and any other entity interested in regulating or guiding building construction to reduce bird collisions with glass. They describe a truly bird-friendly building. Summarized simply, these guidelines are based on a 100/100/100 framework: 100% of all glass and other building materials should be bird friendly in the first 100 feet of 100% of buildings. The guidelines also specifically include all hazardous features that can trap birds or push them in the direction of dangerous features. Any group that adopts this ordinance as written will be at the leading edge of creating a bird- friendly built environment. However, many groups considering such guidelines will be interested in softening the language to exempt certain types of buildings or to reduce the amount of bird-friendly glass required. In anticipation of this, American Bird Conservancy (ABC) has created a discussion of the issues to be considered when revising the model guidelines. (See ABC’s Legislation, Ordinances, and Guidelines) These guidelines will be most commonly adopted as an ordinance to modify municipal building codes. As a result, the guidelines below are written in the form of a model ordinance. However, the text can be easily adapted to fit other building guidance formats. ABC will revise these guidelines as new science, materials, techniques, and technologies become available, so please make sure that you have the most current version before you begin the process of creating your own guidelines. (See ABC’s Legislation, Ordinances, and Guidelines) PROPOSAL NUMBER: SPONSOR(S): PROPOSAL NAME: Bird-Friendly Building Design Requirements PURPOSE: This building ordinance has been created to address the role of the (MUNICIPALITY)’s built environment in the annual loss of up to 1 billion birds due to glass collisions in the United States. WHEREAS, birds provide valuable and important ecological services, WHEREAS, (MUNICIPALITY) has recorded (XXX) species of resident and migratory bird species, WHEREAS, birding is a hobby enjoyed by 46 million Americans with an annual $107 billion total industry output in the United States, WHEREAS, as many as 1 billion birds may be killed by collisions with windows every year in the United States, WHEREAS, new buildings can be designed to reduce bird deaths from collisions without significant additional cost, WHEREAS there exist strategies to mitigate collisions on existing buildings, WHEREAS witnessing a collision is …

North Loop Neighborhood Association Board of Adjustment 301 W. 2nd St. Austin, TX 78701 Subject: North Loop Neighborhood Association and proposed development at 5413 Guadalupe To the Members of the Board of Adjustments this afternoon, the 9th of September 2022. My name is Brian Bedrosian and I am currently serving as the Vice President of the North Loop Neighborhood Association (NLNA), a post I have held since 2019. I am writing this letter on behalf of the NLNA to provide some insight into the neighborhood’s past positions on projects such as that being proposed by Webber Studio and their clients that might help to inform how the NA would vote once we are able to properly consider the project. Marek Hnizda reached out to me regarding this project and we met over Zoom to discuss the proposed variance to the setback along Guadalupe along with their proposed project and what it might look like. We were not able to bring this in front of the neighbors for a formal vote prior to your meeting on the evening of the 12th of this month – so my comments here are simply an idea of our values and how we have responded to similar proposals. In general, our neighbors have tended to vote in favor of projects that show a considered investment in quality housing within our neighborhood with a focus on affordability, family-oriented units where possible, sustainability and increased density. Our neighborhood plan has sought to support a more urban feel to our neighborhood that aspires to provide space for a more diverse and inclusive community of people in the rapidly heated market that Austin finds itself in. With this in mind, the project per the current proposal is within the parameters of something we might support. As you may recall we were recently in front of the Board in support of a much larger VMU project at 201 East Koenig Lane at the southeast corner of Koenig and Avenue F. That particular developer worked closely with our neighborhood and PARD to create a project that served the needs of the developer, the aspirations of the neighborhood and the mission set forth by PARD’s Parkland Dedication Ordinance. We strongly encourage Webber Studio and their clients to continue to engage our neighborhood throughout the design process to seek a similarly mutually beneficial design. While I am unable to provide an official neighborhood …

Our property is brown in this image. We received signatures of support from 6 nearby neighbors at 5 properties. Those in support are highlighted in green.

The neighbor directly behind the property is still not in support and prefers the property to be subdivided so that both lots front on 38th street (which would not allow the existing house to be saved).
