B-03 (UPR for East 11th and 12th Street Urban Renewal Area Modification # 12; District 1).pdf — original pdf
URBAN RENEWAL PLAN MODIFICATION # 12 Beginning in late 2018 the Urban Renewal Board of the City of Austin (URB) began working on updating the Urban Renewal Plan for the East 11th and12th Street Urban Renewal Area (URP) and associated Neighborhood Conservation Combining Districts (NCCDs). The purpose of their efforts was to update the URP and streamline the URP and NCCDs and to bring them into alignment. Attached is the proposed URP as recommended by the Urban Renewal Board at their January 19, 2021 and February 8, 2021 meetings. Major proposed changes include: • Replacing the existing definitions section which largely pertain to land uses with a Land Use section that mirrors the draft NCCDs. • Moving most of the existing “project controls” for 22 distinct areas in the URP to the NCCD documents to ensure that the site development standards are in one document. • Update the process to modify the URP to align with the rezoning process. • Reorganization of sections that are outdated and adding information about changes to the area since the URP’s adoption in 1999. The URP does adopt the subdistrict boundaries and site development standards of the East 11th and East 12th Street NCCD. For the East 11th Street NCCD, staff’s recommendation differs from the URB’s only outside of the boundaries of the URP. Therefore, staff suggests no changes to this recommendation.
