20200529-001: Texas Regional Landfill Company Application — original pdf
COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION AIRPORT ADVISORY COMMISSION Recommendation 20200529-001: Texas Regional Landfill Company Application Whereas, it is the Airport Advisory Commission responsibility to review and make recommendations to the city council on aviation projects that the Department of Aviation proposes for the capital improvements program, proposed aviation grants, aviation contracts, annual operating budget and quality of services at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA or Airport); and Whereas, the quality of services provided by the Department of Aviation are linked to public perception of safety is an important to all air travelers, and past and future funding support for the Airport is partially dependent on successful wildlife hazard management; and Whereas, according to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), wildlife strikes pose a significant safety risk to aircraft as evidenced during the past century as wildlife-aircraft strikes resulted in the loss of hundreds of lives worldwide. Consequently, the FAA, has mandated airports take measures to monitor, and if necessary, mitigate wildlife strike risks on and within the vicinity of an airport; and Whereas, United States Congress has found that collisions between aircraft and birds have resulted in fatal accidents, landfills near airports pose a potential hazard to aircraft because they attract birds; and while certain mileage limits have the potential to be arbitrary, keeping landfills at least 6 miles away from an airport is an appropriate minimum requirement for aviation safety; and Whereas, The Texas Regional Landfill Company has submitted application for a permit to continue to operate and expand the landfill located less than 3,000 feet from the south boundary of the Airport in close proximity to an active runway; and Whereas, in response to the FAA requirements for airport certification, the Airport has completed a Wildlife Hazard Survey and developed a comprehensive Wildlife Hazard Management Program, hired a Certified Airport Biologist and employed staff to specifically and continually address the threat of wildlife- aircraft strikes; and Whereas, past records and staff observations have not shown an elevated the presence of wildlife vectors to cause major concern; and Whereas, FAA may require owners or operators of landfills to (1) demonstrate that a municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF) is designed and operated so as not to ‘‘pose a bird hazard to aircraft”; (2) place a copy of the demonstration in the MSWLF operating record, and (3) notify the State Director that it has been placed in the operating file; and Whereas, the future expansion …

C1: COTA PUD Timeline — original pdf
COTA TIMELINE 2006-2010 Land Acquisition Dec 2010 Groundbreaking for Racetrack Oct 2012 Construction of Amphitheater April 2013 First Concert at Amphitheater Dec 2013 Annexed by City of Austin Sept 2018 Planned Unit Development (PUD) Application Submittal PUD Submittal The COTA track and ancillary facilities were permitted and constructed while the project was in the City of Austin’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction. The City of Austin annexed the project area in 2013 and gave the interim zoning designation of Interim Rural Residential (I-RR). The original vision was for the COTA track and amphitheater to spur economic development in and around the project area. In order to provide more development within the project area, a formal zoning designation is needed. COTA is looking to partner with developers to achieve a mix of uses that complement and enhance the project as a destination and entertainment district. The first phase of development contemplated is a hotel and waterpark that is project to be 155 feet in height. The only zoning tool in today’s current Land Development Code that allows for height above 60 feet is PUD zoning, thus PUD zoning was needed. PUD zoning allows for modifications to the Code, but also requires superiority measures. With regard to Parks and Recreation, the estimated development of 508 hotel units and 30 condominium units results in a requirement of 7.817 acres of land dedication and a $223,975 development fee. The COTA PUD proposal for parkland superiority is to provide for 11.38 acres of land (9.71 acres credited) for two regulation soccer fields and construction of those fields with irrigation. The cost estimate for the construction is $1.9 M, which is far in excess of the required development fee.

20200527-3a: Support of Community Letter Regarding Austin Independent School District's Superintendent Search and the District's Commitment to Equity — original pdf
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Hispanic/Latino Quality of Life Resource Advisory Commission Recommendation Number: 20200527‐3a: Support of Community Letter Regarding Austin Independent School District’s Superintendent Search and the District’s Commitment to Equity WHEREAS, the Austin Independent School board made a bold and courageous decision to create the district’s equity office, yet the equity office is often missing from the table during the most important public board discussions; and WHEREAS, there continues to be disparate access to academics, a lack of vertical alignment of the dual language programs, and lack of investment in the special education services; and WHEREAS, Austin ISD has previously closed historically Black and Hispanic/Latino schools and continue to close schools although AISD Chief Equity Officer, Dr. Stephanie Hawley, stated, “… the map that you have of the [school] closures, is a map of what 21st Century racism looks like…;” and WHEREAS, actions by the AISD Board of Trustees and the administration have left many feeling shut out and marginalized; and WHEREAS, previous AISD superintendent searches took nine months during a non‐pandemic situation and allowed for an interim superintendent; and WHEREAS, the pandemic underscores Austin’s digital divide and greatly limits the public’s ability to participate in important decisions and the district has decided to undertake the superintendent search in a drastically shortened time frame during an unprecedented pandemic; and WHEREAS, regarding the superintendent search, two weeks for Zoom meetings with community groups is insufficient and limits input to those with access to technology; and WHEREAS, the website superintendent survey is misleading and employs a confusing scale 1‐5 scale, with 1 counterintuitively meaning the highest score; the questions were not approved by the full board; and the survey is only available in English and Spanish, rendering it inaccessible to those speaking the other nearly 90 languages represented in AISD; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Hispanic/Latino Quality of Life Resource Advisory Commission supports the AISD Community Request Letter, and recommends that the members of Austin City Council submit a request for the Austin Independent School District Board of Trustees and/or the Superintendent to: 1. Increase transparency in all activities and decision‐making by opening all meetings to the public, including those of the executive board and board committees, and ensuring all meetings are broadcast; 2. Lead with an equity lens in decision‐making and resource distribution by: a. Commissioning a third‐party equity audit immediately and using these findings to drive the district’s …
