Bueckert, Christopher From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Tyler Grooms <tgrooms@manifoldre.com> Sunday, December 15, 2024 3:37 PM Bueckert, Christopher Stefanie and Stephen Griffith; rsuttle@abaustin.com; Amanda Hendrix; amorrow@abaustin.com; Mila Santana Sayers Street Vacation - (2024-128390 LM) at 1114 West 5th Street You don't often get email from tgrooms@manifoldre.com. Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Christopher, I’m writing to request that the vacation of Sayer’s Street be removed from the agenda for Planning Commission on Tuesday. We were surprised to learn about this process only through the notification process to go to planning commission. Our understanding is that according to §311.008 Transportation Code, the city may vacate, abandon, or close a street by ordinance if a petition signed by all owners of real property abutting the street is submitted to the governing body. We are unaware of this petition and the owners have never signed such a petition. Per the included backup for Planning Commission, the owner’s property clearly abuts and takes access to Sayers Street (both Lot 19 and 18 abut Sayers Street). The owners of the property are copied on this email as well (Stefanie and Stephen Griffith of Griffith Properties) who object to the vacation of Sayers Street. Currently their tenants at 503 and 505 Walsh Street (tenants of their family’s partnership Walsh Street Venture 2, LLC) make regular use of Sayers Street. Marc Fray (the tenant at 503 and 505 Walsh Street) depends (and has depended for a decade) on Sayers Street to have furniture delivered to his business. Sayers Street is the only access point to this property for large trucks as access via Walsh Street is too steep and narrow for trucks. It is important to note that Sayers Street is so crucial to Mr. Fray's business that the Griffiths are in breach of contract if Sayers is vacated and Mr. Fray loses access to his business (see section 4 in below attachment). Therefore, as directly adjoining property owners having small local business tenants whose existence has depended for decades on Sayers Street, the Griffith’s object fully and strongly to vacating Sayers Street. Finally, we are working on developing the Griffith’s property. Our plans submitted to the city (SP-2024-0428) demonstrate the continued and necessary use of Sayers Street for fire access, utility access, vehicular access and loading access as a vital part of the development plan. 1 Tyler Grooms | Principal | Manifold …

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Urban Transportation Commission Recommendation Number 20250204-004: Response to City Council Resolution 20241212-133 D R A F T WHEREAS, City Council Resolution 20241212-133 Appendix A proposes merging the Bicycle Advisory Council (BAC) and Pedestrian Advisory Council (PAC) into the Urban Transportation Commission (UTC), to be renamed the Urban Mobility Commission; WHEREAS, City Council Resolution 20241212-133 purports to take action to reduce redundancies and increase efficiency among the City of Austin’s boards and commissions, task forces, council corporations, and intergovernmental bodies; WHEREAS, the BAC and PAC are not, nor have they ever sought to be, a City of Austin board, commission, task force, council corporation, or intergovernmental body; WHEREAS, the BAC and PAC’s status as citizen-led associated entities would make a merger with a sovereign commission like the UTC infeasible and would likely lead to conflicts with existing city code and state law; WHEREAS, the BAC and PAC have not suffered from frequent cancellations or lack of a quorum, with all cancellations since 2021 having been to accommodate either a Joint BAC PAC meeting or for an off-site field visit where no action was taken; WHEREAS, the BAC and PAC do not place the burden of appointing members on City Council Offices and regularly have 50+ applications for fewer than a dozen positions, which are thoroughly and anonymously reviewed by a subcommittee that makes recommendations to the full membership; WHEREAS, the BAC and PAC are highly effective and actively engaged organizations, with the Auditor’s Special Report finding that Boards & Commissions averaged 7.5 recommendations from 2021–2022; meanwhile, during the same period, the BAC passed 18 recommendations and the PAC passed 9; WHEREAS, the BAC and PAC recommendations serve unique functions that have proved helpful for City staff, the Urban Transportation Commission (UTC), and the City Council (see BAC Recommendation 20250122-04 Appendix A); WHEREAS, the citizen-led nature of the BAC and PAC allows the bodies to function as an important resource for feedback for City staff on bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, leaning on members' lived experiences using bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure across the City; WHEREAS, the UTC’s status as a sovereign commission makes it ill-suited to provide feedback on individual projects and designs, and the UTC taking on the role of the BAC and PAC in providing that feedback would overburden the UTC’s agendas, members, staff liaisons, and monthly reports to the Mobility Committee; WHEREAS, the City Council acknowledged the BAC’s …

City of Austin Recommendation for Action File #: 25-0158, Agenda Item #: 1. 2/4/2025(cid:4) Posting Language Conduct a public hearing to receive public comment on proposed amendments to City Code to make short- term rental (STR) use an additional (accessory) use for all residential uses in all zoning districts; to regulate STR owners, operators, and platforms as businesses; and to require STR platforms to collect and remit hotel occupancy taxes (HOT). Funding: This item has no fiscal impact. Lead Department Planning Department. Fiscal Note This item has no fiscal impact. For More Information: Daniel Word, Assistant Director, Development Services Department, 512-974-3610. Additional Backup Information: These amendments are the staff’s proposed overhaul of the City’s STR regulations. This overhaul is needed because recent court decisions have made the cornerstone elements of the City’s STR regulations unenforceable. This includes the distinction between owner-occupied dwellings (Type 1) and non-owner- occupied dwellings (Type 2) that are not multi-family dwellings (Type 3). To achieve this overhaul, staff are proposing three ordinances. Working drafts of the ordinances that amend Title 25 (Land Development) and Title 4 (Business Regulations and Permit Requirements) are included in backup for this item. A third ordinance that amends Chapter 11-2 (Hotel Occupancy Tax) will be released before January 28, 2025. In total, the proposed ordinances would achieve the following: 1. Make STRs an additional (accessory) use to all residential uses in all zoning districts with a valid STR license by modifying City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to add provisions applicable to STRs as an accessory use and repeal all other existing STR provisions. 2. Regulate STR owners/operators and STR platforms by amending City Code Title 4 (Business Regulations and Permit Requirements) to add new regulations, including density caps on STR owners/operators by limiting who can operate a STR on a site with three or fewer units to individuals and requiring 1,000 feet between an owner/operator’s STRs; 3. Allow existing STRs to continue provided that the STR does not become a nuisance and property ownership remains the same; and 4. Require STR platforms to collect Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) on behalf of their users, which requires adding provisions that explicitly require STR platforms to collect HOT to City Code Chapter 11- 2 (Hotel Occupancy Tax).
