Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) Amendments – Recommendations – Commissioner King • ASMP public engagement processes should intentionally include low-income families, families of color, and small community businesses including those at risk of involuntary displacement. • ASMP should include overarching policies to facilitate equitable transit and prevent involuntary displacement of low income families, families of color, and small community businesses along transit corridors. • The Technical Criteria Manual should not dictate or set ASMP policies or street level designations. • Public notice and protest rights should be afforded to all property owners, renters, and businesses subject to eminent domain or right of way acquisition associated with the ASMP. • All residents and businesses located within 500 feet of a proposed change in ASMP street level designation (level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) should receive timely notification and be afforded protest rights. • The adopted Bicycle Plan, Sidewalk Plan, Urban Trails Plan, Vision Zero Action Plan, Pedestrian Safety Action Plan, Smart Mobility Roadmap, and Climate Equity Plan should be updated through equitable and transparent public processes prior to initiation of round two of the public engagement process for ASMP amendments. • The ASMP should include clear definitions of "new development" and "intensive redevelopment" that trigger a dedication of right of way.
Zoning and Platting Commission Austin Strategic Mobility Plan Resolution Whereas the City Council on June 10, 2020, asked staff to amend the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) to add the Project Connect system plan; and Whereas the City of Austin is currently updating three of its active transportation plans: the 2014 Urban Trails Plan, the 2014 Bicycle Plan, and the 2016 Sidewalk/ADA Transition Plan (ATX Walk Bike Roll); and Whereas the ASMP Street Network Table and Map is used to identify future right-of-way dedication requirements; and Whereas on November 15, 2021, the Austin Transportation Department released a first draft ASMP Street Network map; and Whereas Round 1 feedback included 1,647 map comments showing among other concerns particular opposition to changing neighborhood streets from Level 1 to Level 2 and the associated large increases in right-of-way; and Whereas further concerns were raised about expanding the Transit Priority Network where no transit service is planned and creating unfeasible or unsafe bicycle lanes; and Whereas on September 3, 2020, Ordinance No. 20200903-005 was approved to acquire land for the 2016 Corridor Program from the owners of 2,166 Austin parcels without prior notification. Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission encourages the Austin City Council that there should be no street level changes in the ASMP except to incorporate the Project Connect system plan as directed by the Austin City Council; and Be if further resolved that property owners and tenants whose frontage is listed for potential right-of- way increases be notified in their primary language before the City Council vote on the ASMP; and Be it further resolved that the ASMP team should coordinate with the Equity Office in public outreach to ensure the success of ATX Walk Bike Roll’s stated goal of achieving racial equity in planning efforts; and Be it further resolved that the Transit Priority Network be expanded only when transit service is added; and Be it further resolved that before a revised Bicycle Plan is incorporated into the ASMP, a Street Level 1B should be added to the Transportation Criteria Manual that indicates the presence of a bicycle lane for both curbed and non-curbed street designs without raising the right-of-way requirements to match Level 2 streets and that only approved and safe bike routes be included.

The number of properties (2,166) represents the total number of all street-facing properties along the approximately 49 miles comprising the 9 corridors. The number of properties included in the RCA is to allow the project team the flexibility to pursue real estate acquisitions needed anywhere along the corridors without the necessity to seek additional approval from Council. The City will be pursuing acquisitions on no more than 7-8% of the total 2,166 properties along the corridors. As of today’s date, the project team estimates that real estate interests are needed from no more than 168 properties. Maps of the 9 corridors with properties identified for partial acquisition and potential partial acquisition were included as backup. All identified acquisitions are partial acquisitions or easements, being something less than the entire property, with the vast majority being sidewalk, trail, and recreation easements. Although most acquisitions will be easement interests, there may be occasional fee simple acquisitions of right-of- way necessary to widen lanes. Should the need for condemnation arise, specific actions will be brought to Council for consideration separately on a case-by-case basis. In the draft recommendation, “Whereas on September 3, 2020, Ordinance No. 20200903-005 was approved to acquire land for the 2016 Corridor Program from the owners of 2,166 Austin parcels without prior notification” and the associated, “Be if further resolved that property owners and tenants whose frontage …

From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Stern, Lonny - BC Rivera, Andrew Ramirez, Nadia - BC Updated ASMP recommendations Monday, April 18, 2022 7:38:37 PM Hello Andrew and Chair Barrera-Ramirez -- During our last meeting, an amendment to the ASMP recommendations was submitted by another ZAP Commissioner. I would like to recommend that the section that reads: Minimize the impact: Increase the Right-Of-Way only when needed for specific, planned projects and when the required width is stated in the Transportation Criteria Manual. Make technical changes only for projects proposed in the Bike and Sidewalk Master Plans. Given that the ASMP team publicly states that changes are not imminent, and that plans can change (as these ASMP amendments attest), ask for only what is necessary. Be replaced with the following: Minimize the impact. Only redevelopment of residential base zoning districts to another base zoning district (commercial, industrial, special purpose, combining zoning districts) triggers a dedication of right of way – building permits for residential zoning districts do not require right of way dedication… unless needed for specific, planned projects and when the required width is stated in the Transportation Criterial Manual. Make technical changes only for projects proposed in the Bike and Sidewalk Master Plans. There are other items I might seek to amend, but we can do that on the dais. Yours -- Lonny -- Lonny Stern Boards and Commissions Scheduled Meeting Disclosure Information: Written disclosure is required by visitors when attending a scheduled meeting with a City Official regarding a municipal question for compensation on behalf of another person.
