6 March 2025 To the Board Members of the Planning Commission: My name is Brian Bedrosian. I am the Chair of the North Loop Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (NLNPCT – the “neighborhood”). I am writing this letter on behalf of the NLNPCT in support of United Properties’ (the “applicant”) request for DB90 zoning to be added to the combined properties north of 56th Street, south of Koenig Lane, east of the CapMetro Red Line tracks and west of Airport Blvd (collectively referred to as the “northern parcels”)– properties in the north-central sector of our plan area. On February 26th the NLNPCT held a Special Session devoted to the greater project that United Properties is proposing to build in this area of the neighborhood. The project area includes the northern parcels mentioned above, as well as additional properties within the same east-west boundaries down to 55th Street, along with a triangle of land between the Red Line tracks and the FLORA development just south of 55th (collectively referred to as the “southern parcels”). Stephen Buchanan of United Properties was in attendance at our meeting and presented the applicant’s current plans for the project. After much discussion, the eligible NLNPCT voting members present, representing a quorum of the overall NLNPCT membership, voted unanimously to support the applicant’s zoning requests contingent upon the signing of a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) between United Properties and the NLNPCT. In order to provide sufficient time to negotiate the contents of this MOU, the NLNPCT voted to permit the applicant to proceed with presenting their zoning case for the northern parcels to the Planning Commission and in exchange United Properties has agreed to postpone the hearing on the southern parcels until the MOU is signed and approved by both parties. 05 C14-2025-0010 - Airport & Koenig DB90 Tracts Rezoning - Parcel B1 of 2 We believe that this project has the opportunity to achieve the goals of North Loop Neighborhood Plan which targeted this area in our FLUM as a Neighborhood Urban Center. This land use category would provide increased density and affordability, new retail and commercial offerings, and rich public spaces – acting as an extension of our already successful urban corridor along North Loop Boulevard (53rd Street). We are concurrently working with the Parks and Recreation Department (PARD), ATP, TPW, CapMetro, the Redline Parkway Initiative, and Council District 4 to ensure that this project offers …

I am told Walter Wukasch will be in a@endance. I want to repeat my procedural confusion of this case. As I understand the 2610 (or 2602) Hume Place owner is reques/ng a waiver or the UNO Streetscape Requirement from the Planning Commission which has been denied by COA DSD Director. The UNO Streetscape Requirement is set out in Chapter 25-2-760 Of the COA LDC. Chapter 25-2-472 & 473 gives authority for non- compliance of the LDC regula/ons for 25-2 to the Board of Adjustments for considera/on of the appropriate Variance in accordance with their authority. The BOA is a judicial Board that makes a decision based on findings of relevant facts. This process has been followed on several projects through the years in the UNO District. Why is this not the proper COA venue in this case? Best regards, Mike 1 of 5 16 SP-2022-0218C.SH - Avalon Pointe3 of 3

From: Jennifer Cisneros < > Sent: Monday, March 10, 2025 2:32 PM To: Tomko, Jonathan <Jonathan.Tomko@austintexas.gov>; Meredith, Maureen <Maureen.Meredith@austintexas.gov> Cc: Daniela Valle < >; Mark Hilton < >; Steve Hunt < >; John Bambas < >; Vinny Calzone < > Subject: Opposition to Proposed Rezoning at 2967 Manor Rd. My name is Jennifer Cisneros, and I am a resident of District 1. I am reaching out to express my opposition to the proposed rezoning of 2967 Manor Rd, located at the southwest corner of the Manor Rd./Airport Blvd. intersection. Thrower Design is lobbying to rezone this property to DB90, effectively fragmenting the existing MLK TOD framework. To my understanding, this is the first time a DB90 request has been submitted within a TOD, setting a concerning precedent with unknown long-term consequences. A key benefit of the 60-foot height restriction within the TOD is its role in protecting single-family dwellings from encroachment by large scale development. At this time, there is no publicly available site plan for the proposed project, yet we do know that a 90-foot structure directly abutting our neighborhood is not in line with those protections. Beyond zoning concerns, I also want to highlight the serious drainage issues in the area. I invite you to review the attached images and video (link below) showing the impact of rainstorms on the drainage creek that runs alongside my residence. Our neighborhood has not received any information about how the proposed development will address environmental impacts, stormwater management, or infrastructure strain. https://photos.app.goo.gl/moyz1pawSB5n19jo6 Victoria Haase of Thrower Design has stated that "a detailed review of drainage matters and engineering of this site will occur at the time of site plan. If it is found that there are additional considerations to be made downstream, that will be addressed at that time." This vague assurance does little to alleviate the concerns of those of us who live here and will be directly affected by these changes. I urge you to oppose this rezoning request and advocate for responsible development that aligns with the existing TOD guidelines and prioritizes the well-being of our community. Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate your leadership and look forward to your response.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20250311-007 Seconded By: Commissioner Ortiz Date: March 11th, 2025 Subject: FY25-26 Budget Recommendation Motioned By: Commissioner Longoria Recommendation The Austin Community Development Commission received unprecedented testimony from the community supporting the Equity Overlay. An Equity Overlay would allow for vulnerable communities to have a voice in the development process in order to decrease the pressures from gentrification and displacement. Our commission has been updated on the progress of the ongoing Equity Overlay feasibility study and we anticipate a report that includes recommendations that the Austin City Council can move to implement. Therefore, the Community Development Commission recommends that the Austin City Council plan for the budget implications that will come from implementing the recommendations that will come from the study. We recommend that the City Council proactively allocate appropriate funding to properly plan for the anticipated recommendations. Description of Recommendation to Council ● Provide appropriate funding to implement the recommendations from the Equity Overlay Feasibility Study Rationale: Since the 1820’s, when white settlers came to the area now known as Austin and displaced the Indigenous population of the area, the most vulnerable communities were targeted by developers and speculators in order to make a profit. In the 20th Century, the 1928 Master Plan displaced our black and brown communities in the name of development and for the gain of developers and speculators. The story continues with the construction of Interstate 35, with Urban Renewal, with designating East Austin a “desirable development zone”, and more recently with SMART Growth and rewriting of the Land development Code to push for more density. The legacy of our city is one of sacrificing our most vulnerable communities in the name of development and for the gain of developers and speculators. East Austin has been drastically transformed and BIPOC residents have been displaced, and neighborhoods like Dove Springs, Montopolis and Rundberg face more and more pressure from developers and speculators. According to the City of Austin Housing and Planning Department, in its impact statement relating to the HOME Initiative, “upzoning historically marginalized neighborhoods leads to displacement,” and “parties with more resources may take advantage of the new regulatory landscape, while those with fewest resources experience an increase in precarity.” As our Eastern Crescent communities, mostly BIPOC and low-income, continue to face these pressures, the 1 of 2 community has lifted its voice to call for an Equity Overlay. The Austin City …
