Austin Design Commission Date: To: Subject: May 22, 2017 City of Austin Staff Review of 405 Colorado for substantial compliance with the Urban Design Guidelines Applicant: Michelle Haussmann (Land Use Solutions) DC Action: The motion to approve the working group letter, which states that the project as presented does not substantially comply with the Urban Design Guidelines, was made by S. Franco; second by E. Tani- guchi. The motion passed on a unanimous vote of [8-0]. A. Coleman recused; D. Carroll not present. David Carroll, Chair The project location is 401-405 Colorado Street. Bart Whatley, Vice Chair Aan Coleman Beau Frail Samuel Franco Martha Gonzalez Katie Halloran Conor Kenny Melissa Henao-Robledo Existing zoning for the project is CBD. The project design includes office, retail uses and public parking. The lot area is 0.42 acres (18,439 sq ft), and the total proposed project area is 233,146 sq ft. The FAR for this project is 13:1, above the 8:1 maximum allowance for CBD zoning, so an increase in FAR of 5:1 is being requested.

Create dense development- 13 stories of parking and only 12 stories of habitable space is not increasing density as intended by the Urban Design Guidelines (UDG) of the Density Bonus Program.

The Working Group does not believe that this project complies with this section. Create mixed-use development- Only 19.5% of Ground Floor (street level) is mixed-use and only designed for one tenant. Only 1.94% of total building area is mixed-use. Buildings must Design Commission - 405 Colorado Page 1 of 3 have 25% or more of their floor area as a different use to comply.

Recommendation 20250519-010: Recommendation for emergency response funding for arts and culture organizations impacted by federal grant terminations — original pdf
ARTS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20250519-010 Date: May 19, 2025 Subject: Recommendation for emergency response funding for arts and culture organizations impacted by federal grant terminations Motioned By: Commissioner Houston Seconded By: Commissioner Schmalbach Recommendation Austin arts and cultural organizations have been deeply and negatively impacted by the recent terminations of previously awarded federal grants from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The Arts Commission recommends the City Council direct staff to determine the extent of the impact on local organizations and to establish an emergency fund to provide budget gap funding to impacted organizations within the next 90 days. Rationale In past two months, federal agencies including the NEA, NEH, and IMLS have terminated or rescinded previously awarded grants to organizations, artists, and scholars across the country. Austin’s organizations have been impacted, though the total extent of the impact has not been fully quantified. The Texas Commission on the Arts has been collecting data from impacted entities across the state and will be an important source of information for assessing the total immediate impact, as well as the potential ripple effects within the arts ecosystem and broader economy. Estimates from Austin Chronicle reporting specifically focused on NEA cuts, and information drawn from publicly accessible NEA databases suggest that more than 20 organizations, including the City of Austin itself, may have had NEA grants terminated. In some cases, terminated grants may have already been fully paid, while in others the termination leaves a large hole in an organization’s budget. In the worst cases, organizations may have incurred unreimbursed expenses on awards, as these grants operate on reimbursement or a maximum 30-day advance request. It will be important for City staff, with information from partners like Texas Commission on the Arts, to help determine the full extent of the damage of these terminations to design an appropriate response. The Arts Commission recommends the establishment of an emergency fund, similar to what was created to support organizations and artists during the Covid19 pandemic. The fund would be open by application to organizations that have been materially impacted by the federal terminations, who could then apply for some relief to mitigate the damage to their operations and, in the worst cases, their sustainability. We also ask the City Council and Mayor to leverage their significant influence to call …

The conference included solid waste education and trade in Texas with opportunities to explore the latest in equipment, waste management trends, and regulatory updates. As the host City, the department coordinated opportunities to visit local facilities, including the Recycle and Reuse Drop Off Center and had several staff that presented, including the following sessions: • Disaster Debris Response & Cost Accounting (David McCluggage, Donald Hardee, Samuel Gilbert, Keri Greenwalt) • Talk Trust, Not Trash: The Importance of Community Engagement (Megan Oberdoerster, Lauren Hust) • Austin Resource Recovery ISO 9001:2015 Implementation Project (William Purcell, Marsha Cochran, Erika Phillips, Janet Goode-Gilbert) • Empowered Leaders, Resilient Teams: Driving Efficiency in a Growing City (Monica Allen) Austin Energy’s Electric Lawn Equipment Exchange On April 26, 2025, ARR participated in Austin Energy’s Electric Lawn Equipment Exchange at the Austin Public Health Facility at 2800 Webberville Road. Customers enrolled in the Customer Assistance Program (CAP) were invited to participate in the event. Customers were allowed to drop off their gas-powered string trimmers and blowers and receive a battery powered electric trimmer and/or electric blower in return. ARR’s role was to receive the gas-powered equipment with on-site staff and bring the equipment to the Recycle and Reuse Drop-Off Center (RRDOC) at 2514 Business Center Drive. From there it was packaged for recycling through current contracted vendors. In total, 66 units were exchanged. There have been preliminary conversations of another event later this year.

Crews removed a total of 360 tons of trash/debris. They also diverted 12 tons of material such as metals, tires and shopping carts from the locations.
