VERY helpful, and my continued thanks in educating me on the sources and differences. I've learned that participants must be in person in today's Platting & Zoning meeting, which is unfortunate as I'm not able to do so. I have re-summarized my concerns here, and reached out to Rosemary (and re-cc’d here) per your suggestion: A) High concern for near-by residential and single-family housing due to: - Allowance for up to 60ft tall buildings - No requirement for minimum interior side yard, rear yard, front yard, or street yard setbacks - Buildings this tall, and the associated lighting, will adversely impact those residences with shadows and light/audio noise. People down the street with large apt buildings backed-up to their houses already complain of the noise (on both sides of the fence) and a mere barking dog in the backyard was forced inside despite his owner’s own fencing and property. - Glad to hear that impervious cover isn’t worsened, but these added structures and parking will impact the environment and living conditions of humans and wildlife in the area. - flood concerns and flood-plains along Walnut Creek (attached and more in Rosemary's scope?) . . .any added volume of structures and people, seem relevant to this zoning change: assessment on flood risk with people’s houses greatest-at-risk not proactively informed of this change B) Not sure if under your scope or Rosemary’s: - A new geological survey is needed, given the abandoned parking garage from years ago and earlier reports of caves, sinkholes and cavities 3) Per Sherri's note my other concerns are addressed by the site approval/design: Rosemary per SP-2021-0124C - when is this reviewed or discussed for approval? - any updates to assessments, surveys or studies? One geological report referenced is from Nov 2009 Earlier flood assessments were > 20 years ago [please ref attachment on flood risk near the primary path of water from site] Houston's flooding has shown that these changes need stronger and more recent assessments; please don't turn Austin into Houston. Thank you for your time and expertise! Good health to you and be safe! Kirsten Hofmann 6225 Avery Island Ave, Austin TX 78727 Hi Ms. Hofmann, On …

September 7, 2021 Micah J. King Senior Associate The Zoning and Platting Commission The City of Austin 111 Congress Avenue, Suite 1400 Austin, Texas 78701 Direct: 512.370.3468 micah.king@huschblackwell.com Re: Letter Regarding Item B-3 (Research Park Rezoning) on the September 7, 2021, Agenda of the Zoning and Platting Commission Regarding the Rezoning (the “Case”) of Property at: 12455, 12501 Research Boulevard North Bound, 12489, 12515 ½, 12517 ½ Research Boulevard Service Road NB, 12220 ½ Riata Trace Parkway (the “Property”) Dear Commissioners: I am writing you on behalf of my clients who own and reside at properties on Blackfoot Trail across McNeil Drive from the above-referenced zoning Property. My clients are not opposed to and could even support the rezoning so long as the applicant and developer of the Property work with the City Staff to ensure that there is no adverse flooding impact on my clients’ properties. There is a history of flooding on the west side of McNeil Drive near Blackfoot Trail. This flooding was addressed by the City installing a stormwater drain under and along the west side of McNeil Drive, but my clients are concerned that flooding would become an issue again if the City does increase the size of the drain to offset any future increase to the amount of impervious cover as part of the redevelopment of the overall Property (not just on Lot 11, which is in a different watershed than the western portion of the Property). Thank you for your consideration of this issue. Sincerely, Micah King HB: 4812-2256-4089.1

Neighborhood Concerns RE: C14-2021-0117 (1017 W. SLAUGHTER LANE) OPPOSING REQUESTED REZONING TO GR-MU-V This is where we live… First issue: Increased traffic on Slaughter Lane threatens people’s safety! Chisholm Lane is a dead- end road with egress only onto Slaughter Lane. THE FOLLOWING SLIDE SHOWS THE INTERSECTION WITH SLAUGHTER LANE TO THE WEST… Overflow parking from La Petite daycare employee meeting Road conditions on trash and recycle day. Slaughter and Chisholm Lane Intersection …on a Sunday morning Target site has egress only onto Slaughter Lane. THE FOLLOWING SLIDE SHOWS THE CHISHOLM LANE INTERSECTION WITH SLAUGHTER LANE TO THE EAST… This is where they want to add retail and hundreds of apartments! What traffic control measures will ensure citizens are safe traveling north, south, east, and west? Second issue: There is a significant environmental threat Mary Moore Searight Metropolitan Park is designated wildland… THE FOLLOWING SLIDE SHOWS THE 150’PROXIMITY TO THE TARGET SITE… Subject Tract also overlaps a creek buffer zone: An additional environmental threat… An aerial view …clearly showing the creek buffer running through the southern third of the subject tract How will the runoff from the proposed development be captured to avoid flooding or water contamination? Too many on too little…a third of subject tract is unbuildable! Slaughter Lane from Brodie to IH35 Slaughter Lane from HEB on Menchaca to the east …with new apartment complex under construction marked Construction site from Bilbrook Place Construction site north to Slaughter Lane Construction site from Swanson Ranch Road Third issue: Infrastructure cannot accommodate more high- density residential. Transit options easy walking distance: Buses #3 & #318 CapMetro options via #3 and #318 (north and west) CapMetro options via #3 and #318 (east); #10 (north) Please: NO further development unless the City of Austin improves the infrastructure to support planful growth!! This is our neighborhood

From: To: Subject: Date: Ruth Lauer Graham, Mark; Kitchen, Ann; Craig, Ken C14-2021-0119 911/915 Dittmar Tuesday, September 7, 2021 12:07:54 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Mr. Graham, I am writing to rebut the claims made in the staff recommendations on the above case. I recognize the need for more affordable housing in Austin and would welcome a project like this along a transit corridor or within the urban core. However, the property is over ½ mile from the nearest transit corridor and not close to any schools, shops, services or other amenities. The owner proposes to build 30 up to 4 story units on 1.48 acres. In discussions with the neighborhood, he said these are likely to be 2 and 3 bedroom row-house style condominiums in two buildings. He requests a zoning change from what was SF-2 and DR (which was used as SF-2). The proposed zoning change does not satisfy the public need for affordable housing. The owner is seeking density that is incompatible with neighbors so that he can maximize the return on his investment. A change in zoning will provide special privilege to the owner while negatively impacting existing neighbors. The project does not add to housing choice. There are plenty of condos and smaller homes already in this area. There are currently over 200 condo style homes going in further west on Dittmar. And there is a condo development across the street. The owner representative stated that NO affordable units are planned. Please explain how this adds to housing choice. The zoning is incompatible with surrounding areas, which are generally SF and MH. None of the zoning cases cited allow such an extreme change. The adjacent SF-4 zoning is on small lots. The proposed MF zoning will bring 3 times that density to the area. Cramming a four story, 2 building condo development (along with an estimated 60 vehicles) in the middle of the neighborhood just doesn’t make sense. Again, it would if it were near an Activity Corridor with schools, amenities and public transport nearby. This is not the case. The wonderful Dittmar Rec Center and pool are about it. I would love to see Austin develop and stick to plans like Imagine Austin. Instead I see no proactive planning, just responding positively to anything a developer requests while penalizing existing residents. I would also like the Case Manager and builder …

Zoning and Platting Commission Question and Answer Report September 7, 2021 B-03 C14-2021-0012 - Research Park Rezoning; District 6 Commissioner Denkler /Staff Response Hi Commissioner Denkler, The Housing and Planning Department staff believe that this project will comply with the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan as the proposed LI-PDA zoning on the property will provide for additional housing within 800 feet from the Jollyville Activity Corridor and 1,550 feet from the 183 and McNeil Neighborhood Center. As the Comprehensive Planning comments state in the zoning case report, the proposed LI-PDA zoning will meet the intent of: LUT P7. Encourage infill and redevelopment opportunities that place residential, work, and retail land uses in proximity to each other to maximize walking, bicycling, and transit opportunities. • HN P10. Create complete neighborhoods across Austin that have a mix of housing types and land uses, affordable housing and transportation options, and access to schools, retail, employment, community services, and parks and recreation options. This 179.14 acre site is located between two major arterial roadways, McNeil Drive and Research Boulevard (U.S. Highway 183) in an area with job opportunities, schools and a mixture of housing. The Housing and Planning Department does not review Imagine Austin for compliance with environmental issues. The Watershed Protection Department staff (the Environmental Officer) and the Development Services Department staff were included in the review of this rezoning application for the proposed LI-PDA zoning. The Current Planning staff reviewed the applicant’s proposed PDA overlay conditions (i.e.- additional permitted uses, prohibited uses and site development standards) and we are recommending the LI-PDA zoning request at this location. The environmental review’s comments have been cleared and the applicant amended their PDA overlay request to state that the maximum impervious cover and maximum building coverage is set forth by the applicable watershed limitation. New development on the property will be subject to Compatibility Standards. Per LDC Sec. 25-2- 1051, any development which occurs in an SF-6 or less restrictive zoning district which is located 540 feet or less from property in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district will be subject to compatibility development regulations. In this rezoning application, the applicant is only requesting that the proposed PDA conditions apply to Lot 11 on the property. The Transportation review comments from ATD state that a Traffic impact analysis was waived, except for the development on Lot 11, a new site plan (or revision to any …
