ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2023-024 HOME Phase 2 Description: Amend City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to revise regulations that apply to lots with one housing unit, including reducing the minimum lot size and regulations that apply to flag lots. Background: Initiated by Resolution No. 20230720-126. On July 20, 2023, City Council adopted Resolution No. 20230720-126, tasking staff with the development of amendments to the Land Development Code (LDC) with specific housing related objectives in mind. These objectives included reducing the minimum lot size for properties zoned single-family, permitting up to three housing units on such properties, and establishing a new Three-Unit Residential Land Use designation. Additionally, the changes aimed to introduce flexibility in housing configurations for properties zoned SF-1, SF-2, SF- 3, and SF-4A/B. This flexibility would encompass various housing types such as rowhouses, townhomes, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, garden homes, and cottage courts. On December 7, 2023, City Council approved Ordinance No. 20231207-001 adopting code amendments that allow up to three housing units, including tiny homes, on a Single-Family (SF) zoned property, revising the regulations that apply to a property with two housing units, and removing restrictions on the number of unrelated adults living in a housing unit. Summary of Proposed Code Amendment: The proposed code amendments will reduce the minimum lot size and revise site development regulations for small lots to facilitate the development of one-unit homes with unit sizes and densities similar to those allowed under HOME Phase 1. The proposed changes: • Lower the minimum lot size for one unit from 5,750 sq ft to 2,000 sq ft • Adjust development standards for lots under 5,750 sq ft (i.e., small lots) • Reduce the minimum lot width • • Allow for a variety of detached and attached housing types • Remove Residential Design and Compatibility (i.e., McMansion or Subchapter F) Include design standards for driveways, front yards, and garage placement standards for small lots Increase impervious cover from 40% to 45% in SF-1 for small lots • • Adjust flag lot regulations to facilitate easier subdivision and to ensure sites do not exceed 45% impervious cover The following is not changed under this proposal: 03/28/2024C20-2023-024 • Minimum lot size of 5,750 sq ft for two-unit and three-unit uses • Regulations for one unit on lots that are 5,750 sq ft or greater in lot size • 45% impervious cover maximum for SF-2 and SF-3 • …

Landing weights totaled 933 million pounds in February 2024 representing a decrease of 5.6% compared to February 2023. Cargo volume totaled 12,099 tons in February 2024, a decrease of 5.7% compared to February 2023. The decline in cargo volume compared to the prior year is the result of declines in mail cargo and tonnage carried from major cargo carriers. February 2024 operating revenue totals $23.2M, an increase of 17.9% or $3.5M compared to February 2023. The increase in operating revenue primarily results from updated airline rates for FY24 and changes to the parking rate structure from prior year. February 2024 operating revenue is composed of 49.2% airline revenue, 49.1% non-airline revenue, and 1.7% interest income. Airport operating expenses totaled $12.0M for the month, an increase of 28.4% or $2.7M compared to February 2023. The increase in operating expenses results from higher personnel costs from increased headcount and wage adjustments, costs associated with APD and ARFF units, and contractual costs including parking services and baggage handling system maintenance. AUS reported a $4.4M surplus in February 2024, which aligns with the surplus (before federal relief funding) in February 2023.
