*This draft incorporates initial feedback received as of 6/14/21. More feedback is being gathered. Changes will be presented to the Pandemic Equity Committee for consideration and final approval. M E M O R A N D U M TO: Austin Mayor, City Council Members, and City Manager FROM: Central Health Equity Policy Council - Pandemic Equity Committee (Brandon Wollerson, Catalina Berry, Emily Zhang, Iliana Gilman, Kristin duBay Horton, Matthew Jeans, Nora Comstock, Patricia Hayes, Raul Alvarez, Vanessa Sarria, and Vince Cobalis) DATE: XXXXXX, 2021 SUBJECT: Recommendations for Identifying and Addressing Inequities in Disaster Preparedness, Disaster Response and Post- Disaster Community Healing and Recovery As we begin to approach the end of this global pandemic, we’d like to recognize the work that has been undertaken by the City of Austin to help our community navigate it, including the strong collaboration that has taken place between community organizations and entities responsible for disaster response. The nation was hit last year with a crisis for which we were ill-prepared, and the healing that is ahead of us will be yet another challenge. In addition to showing us how interconnected our lives are, this pandemic has shown us the significant challenges that our society and our local community are facing. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inequities People of Color, including Asian American, Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic/Latino Communities, and other historically marginalized populations (including, but not limited to LGTBQIA, the elderly, remote geographically, people living with disabilities) experience daily and the opportunities for the City to adequately prepare for disasters. It is imperative that these inequities be addressed prior to any subsequent catastrophe. Before getting too deep into the analysis, it is important to note that disparate outcomes during the pandemic for People of Color and low-income families could have been significantly lessened, if there was equitable access to health care/insurance, technology, and economic opportunity in our community. In December 2020, Central Health’s Equity Policy (CHEP) Council convened the Pandemic Equity Committee to assess health outcomes related to the pandemic and develop recommendations to help ensure that decision-making regarding our community’s disaster preparedness, disaster response, and post-disaster community healing and recovery meaningfully accounts for existent and emergent disparities experienced by People of Color, including Asian American, Black, Indigenous and Hispanic/Latino Communities, and other historically marginalized populations. After several months of assessment, dialogue and deliberation, the Pandemic Equity Committee has developed the attached “recommendations for …

B-02 -Trey Neinast Opposition (C-14-2021-0003).pdf original pdf

Thumbnail of the first page of the PDF
Page 1 of 4 pages

Opposition Item B-2 (C14-2021-0003) Sun Auto My name is William (Trey) Neinast and I live at 1000 S. Riviera Cir. in Cedar Park, TX with my wife and my nearly two-year-old son. While I am a Cedar Park resident and therefore not technically a resident of the City of Austin, I am one of the property owners who would be most affected by this change as my home backs up directly to the parcel of land in question. Myself and my family are in opposition to this proposed zoning change. Three Main Points: 1) The current zoning is fair and appropriate per both the applicant and staff. 2) The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan has several policies that are not in alignment with this proposed zoning change. 3) At least one study has found that home proximity to auto repair shops is linked with an increased likelihood for childhood leukemia. Point 1 (Current Zoning is Fair and Appropriate) • The zoning for this parcel of land was last reviewed by the City of Austin in 2013. The applicant proposed a zoning change from SF-6 to GR but was granted a zoning of LR instead. (Reference 1: (http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=193776)) • The applicant agreed that the LR zoning was appropriate. (Reference 1) • While Austin has undergone many changes over the last several years, this specific area has not. The description of the current site characteristics, adjacent land development and uses, and relevant roadways is virtually identical between the 2013 zoning review and the 2021 review. (Reference 1 and Reference 2: (http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=362047)) • The only difference between 2013 and now regarding this specific area is that an apartment complex that was under construction in 2013 is now complete and operational as of 2021. (Reference 1 and 2) • There is an error in the 2021 Zoning Review document. It is stated that the Cedar Park portion of this land is currently zoned as Local Retail – Conditional Overlay. This is not true. The City of Cedar Park Planning and Zoning commission reviewed a proposal to change this portion of land from Medium Density Residential to Local Retail in August 2020 and did not approve this change. The proposal was withdrawn from City Council on 12/3/20 and has not been taken back up for consideration since. The part of this land in Cedar Park is currently zoned for Medium Density Residential. (Reference 3: (https://meetings.municode.com/d/f?u=https://mccmeetings.blob.core.usgovcloudapi. net/cptx-pubu/MEET-Minutes-f40998be20254cf690f5df46f4331853.pdf&n=Minutes- …

June 14, 2021 Zoning and Platting Commission City of Austin RE: Letter of Opposition to Item B-3, 11705 Research Blvd.; Rezoning Case C14-2020-0146 Dear Commissioners: We are opposed to the rezoning of 11705 Research Boulevard until there is a plan to solve the serious traffic congestion and safety issues on the adjacent portion of the US Highway 183 NB service road. The headquarters of our organization, the Texas Association of School Boards, Inc. (TASB), is located just 0.3 miles northbound from the subject property, adjacent to the same service road. Our employees, tenants, and visitors already have a difficult time safely entering and exiting the parking lot with the high traffic volumes and crossing three lanes of traffic to get onto the on-ramp for the highway, and this situation will worsen if the proposed rezoning were approved. In 1990, the City Council approved the rezoning of the property to LI-CO, with conditions that reflected traffic concerns at that time. Now, nearly 30 years later, those concerns are substantially worse, and yet the applicant is requesting to lift much of the conditional overlay even though the population of the metropolitan area has increased from 846,227 in 1990 to 2,295,303 as of 2020. To summarize our concerns: 1. The General Warehousing and Distribution, Equipment Sales, and Equipment Repair Services uses should be prohibited on the entire property, since these uses would likely increase the volume of large trucks on the frontage road. 2. The projected traffic from the redevelopment of the larger overall 3M property is 16,136 trips per day. Because the property is just one portion of the overall 3M property, a decision on the proposed rezoning should consider the impact of the redevelopment of the entire 3M property, and there should be increased protections against traffic issues—not fewer. 3. The conditional overlay setting a maximum height of 40 feet should remain in place; otherwise there could be a more intensive development, which would further exacerbate the traffic issues. 4. We have seen no plan that would actually address the traffic issues, and the rezoning should be denied until there is a proven solution that is required to be implemented. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, James. B. Crow Executive Director Concerns Regarding the Proposed Rezoning of a Portion of the 3M Property 11705 Research Blvd. (C14-2020-0146) The Zoning and Platting Commission June 15, 2021 Item B-3 Micah King (Husch Blackwell …

Yes, as the neighborhood has opted in to the additional Mobile Food Vendor Regulations per LDC Sec. 25-2-812. These regulations are Code requirements and therefore do not need to be repeated in the conditional overlay for the property. 2. Screening and fencing are required between residential and commercial uses per Compatibility Requirements. This does not apply between office and commercial uses. 25-2-1066 -SCREENING REQUIREMENTS (A) A person constructing a building shall screen each area on a property that is used for a following activity from the view of adjacent property that is in an urban residence (SF-5) or more restrictive zoning district: (1) off-street parking; (2) the placement of mechanical equipment; (3) storage; or (4) refuse collection. (B) A person constructing shoreline access, as that term is defined in Section 25-2-1172 (Definitions), shall screen the shoreline access from the view of property that is in an urban residence (SF-5) or more restrictive zoning district. A person may comply with this Subsection by providing vegetation and tree canopy as prescribed by rule, and may supplement compliance with other screening methods prescribed by rule. The owner must maintain the screening provided under this section. (C) A person may comply with Subsection (A) by providing a yard, fence, berm, or vegetation. If a fence is provided, the height of the fence may not exceed six feet, except as otherwise permitted by Section 25-2-899 (Fences As Accessory Uses). (D) The owner must maintain a fence, berm, or vegetation provided under this section. 3. Drive-In Services has not been recommended as a prohibited use on the site.
