(“UAP”) has filed an objection. The purpose of this letter is to outline for UAP a compromise solution that would be beneficial to UAP and to our Client such that the hearing with the City of Austin Planning Commission on our Client’s Zoning Application scheduled for May 12, 2020 is allowed to proceed unopposed. By way of background, our Client has submitted an application to the City of Austin for Commercial Services-Mixed Use Zoning (“CS-MU”). The fundamental reason for our Client’s Zoning Application is that under the University Neighborhood Overlay (“UNO”), our Client’s development of the Property will be limited to a height of 65 feet. The City of Austin Land Development Code allows a property owner 90 feet of height. This 25-foot difference translates to approximately 24, 938 square feet of density. Specifically, under UNO, developments with 65-foot height limitations typically allow a developer to achieve 5 full stories of building (95% of 8750 = 8312.5 square feet of land X 5 stories = 41,562 square feet of building).

SLIDE 1 PROPOSED TRAIL AT 4530 EAST BEN WHITE NPA-2017-0021.01 SLIDE 2 The Country Club Creek Trail is a major goal of the East Riverside/Oltorf Combined (EROC) Neighborhood Plan. The CCC Trail will eventually connect the neighborhoods of south east Austin to Mabel Davis Park, the Country Club Creek Greenbelt, and to Roy Guerrero Park. The EROC Contact Team has been working for 15 years to build, maintain, and extend the CCC Trail. The remaining unfinished section of the CCC Trail, between Oltorf and Riverside, is currently in the Design Phase. SLIDE 3 The property at 4530 East Ben White is an opportunity to extend the connections to the CCC Trail to connect Ben White to the south, and neighborhoods and businesses to the east. SLIDE 4 The proposed Recreational Use Easement will create a north-south trail that will connect Ben White to the CCC Trail. This property is also an opportunity connect the CCC Trail to the residential neighborhood, the Cypress Campus, and the proposed Mixed Use development at 5016 ½ East Ben White with an east-west trail to Sunridge Drive. SLIDE 5 This slide shows the proposed Recreational Use Easement on the property at 4530 East Ben White. SLIDE 6 The EROC Contact Team has voted to support NPA-2017-0021.01 with the understanding that the City of Austin will work with the property owner to create the Recreational Use Easement that will increase connectivity in this area.

From: John Killough Sent: Monday, May 11, 2020 11:37 AM To: DSD Help <DSDhelp@austintexas.gov> Cc: Subject: PUD At Lamar and Toomey This message is from John Killough. [] We strongly object to the change in Zoning for the PUD at S. Lamar and Toomey Road: • The change violates the purpose of the Waterfront Overlay. • The project violates Zilker Neighborhood Association’s approved Vertical Mixed Use proposal. • Although the project proposes underground parking, there is no provision for entrance and egress from the building onto already overburdened streets.

Palmer 1600 Barton Springs Rd, Unit 3101 Austin, Texas 78704 713-397-5489 To: The Austin City Council members; The Planning Commission; Case Manager, Heather Chaffin Re: Rezoning 218 South Lamar Blvd. I am requesting the Case Manager to include these comments in the case file (case 2018-171711 ZC; Reference file, C814-218-0121) for the May 12, 2020 Planning Commission Hearing and City Council scheduled hearing in June, 2020. Development at prime real estate sites in an economically and environmentally attractive city, such as Austin, is welcomed but must be thoughtfully approved. As a citizen in the city, who cares as much about the progress of our city as any one of you, I want you to make planning decisions that honor existing ordinances that belong to all of us and I want you to make it a priority to value the quality of life of every community of our city. Specifically, I am asking you, at this time, when a zoning decision is made regarding 218 South Lamar Blvd., which is at the corner of S. Lamar and Toomey Road, that you honor the Waterfront Overlay Ordinance and that you make the quality of life of the community in this part of South Austin your highest priority. First of all, the proposed PUD, which would be the construction of a large office building and its design, violates the Waterfront Overlay Ordinance. The citizens of our city entrust you to honor the planning that is already approved for this community through this Ordinance. You should want compliance as much as we want it. There is a more appropriate location for this office building to be constructed or the design should conform to the Waterfront Overlay Ordinance. I want you to …
Annette DiMeo Carlozzi 1506 Romeria Drive Austin, TX 78757 24 February 2020 Dear City Council and Planning Commission members: I was delighted to learn recently from my friend and colleague Sara Vanderbeek that there is a potential opportunity for another much-needed partnership between the arts and business communities in Austin. Apparently 218 South Lamar Boulevard, a proposed development on the site of the Schlotsky’s behind Zach Theatre, could include 1000 sq ft of gallery space on its ground floor, to be programmed by the dynamic artist-run space known as DORF. What a great idea! As a lifelong curator of contemporary art—including 7 years as head curator of Laguna Gloria Art Museum (1979-86); 18 years as contemporary and then head curator at the Blanton Museum of Art (1996-2014); and the intervening years as a director and producer in Aspen, New Orleans and Atlanta, I can testify both to the success of a rich and varied creative community in attracting/developing engaged citizens, and to the importance of community partnerships in building stability in local arts communities. And stability in an arts community confers economic health and lends vibrancy and dynamism to city life. So I write in enthusiastic support of the steps the City of Austin and these private developers are taking to carve out space and resources for the local arts economy at a time when rising rents are threatening the arts community’s very existence. Everyone wins in such inspired efforts. If all goes well, this project could serve as a model for other Austin developments to come—we certainly need as many of these alliances as possible. Please give your best efforts to providing support for this proposal. DORF is an excellent arts space—thoughtfully curated, warmly welcoming and inclusive—and I’d love to see it nested within a burgeoning arts district on the shores of Ladybird Lake. Wow, that sounds lovely…and smart! Sincerely, Annette DiMeo Carlozzi Independent curator 512.689.3860

Planning Commission Meeting date, May 12, 2020 Agenda Item # 11 Rezoning of 218 S Lamar from CS to PUD Locally known as the Schlotzsky’s PUD Commissioners The proposed re-zoning of this property should be rejected for the following reasons. 1. Does not meet the criteria for use of the Planned Unit Development zoning tool. PUD zoning was created to address particular zoning challenges that could not be resolved by standard zoning. But the threshold for the application of this zoning tool has several criteria that projects are required to meet: It was intended to be utilized by large tracts (either singular or multiple parcels) of 10 Acres of • more. This site is considerably less than that threshold. • PUD zoning was also intended to deal with parcels that had multiple existing zoning that the individual zoning site design standards, if respected, would preclude a reasonable use. This site has only one zoning which left unto it’s self, would allow the reasonable development of the property ( unless the developer is paying too much for the property’s current entitlements, in which case the city is not supposed to “back stop” this speculative proforma by granting additional entitlements just to off set the developer’s risk!). • The essential aspect of providing this zoning tool was to allow for a development that would result in a superior (environmental or other community/civic benefit but not just an economic benefit to the developer) product that could not be created using the existing zoning. This project is just another office building with no superior aspect to it whatsoever! 2. Does not meet the standards of the Waterfront Overlay Ordinance This project is proposed in the Butler Shores sub district of the WFO which also has specific criteria for projects • The WFO Task Force final report recommended that the Bonus Provision General to all sub districts allowed a 60% increase in the FAR if the project met eight criteria. Those criteria were 1. Residential uses 2 Pedestrian Oriented uses 3. Parking structure 4. Tree protection 5. Public Access dedication 6. Restrictions for scenic vistas 7. Impervious cover Page 1 of 5 At best this proposed project only meets 3 of these criteria and therefore would not even be allowed the 60% increase in FAR as allowed under 25-2-714 (A) (3) But assuming that by some crazy logic you could make a plausible case that …

Terry Mitchell May 12, 2020 Austin Planning Commission If you know me, you know that I support “density” and “compactness” — those two TO: FROM: DATE: RE: ITEM: B — 23: F#10076-1901 – ROW Vacation; District 1, 809 East 9th Street ___________________________________________________________________________ Dear Planning Commission: My name is Terry Mitchell. I am a developer and I was part of a team that developed The Tyndall at Robertson Hill, a condominium community next door to the subject property. I am writing not in my capacity as a neighbor, but as a concerned citizen – that we, as a city, would permit a project to be built with the risks that would be forever be present to the residents of this project and to the residents of the Tyndall. planning tools may well be the only tools that help our City with the coming financial constraints imposed by the low-density form of development (that is so costly) and the steps taken by our State to limit growth of cities. Literally, the only real solution to the coming financial challenges to be faced by Austin (and other large Texas cities) will be to add more tax revenue per acre (density) to address this challenge. especially for seniors. Over 100 million of our U.S. citizens live on less than $30,000 per year. Housing and transportation costs eat up these meager funds and cause so many to struggle to live. My company is presently building 88 affordable condominium homes on Westgate Boulevard (https://canopyatwestgate.com/), ranging in price from $168,000 to the low $200,000 range, in an area where the median home price is around $340,000. I get it. density and affordable housing is not an excuse to approve an ill-conceived project that puts a risk the residents of this proposed project and the residents of the Tyndall. much work and limitations were imposed to guarantee proper fire safety. For example: Fire safety is of utmost concern. When the Tyndall went through the review process, And if you know me, you know that I strongly support all forms of affordable housing, Nevertheless, supporting • You will note that the Tyndall (phot above) has adjacent fire safety access on three separate streets — 9th Street (where this proposed project is located), Embassy Street, and 8th Street. pg. 1 • Because fire safety (and emergency services) are so important, parking adjacent to the Tyndall was prohibited along these streets …
