Animal Advisory Commission Report Q2 2021 This report is intended to give a high level overview of Austin Pets Alive!’s lifesaving operations, with a focus on APA!’s impact on Travis county through our partnership with Austin Animal Center. Summary: Austin Pets Alive! (APA) continues to be the city of Austin’s largest partner in lifesaving and the largest subsidizer of the city’s budget to serve Austin animals. APA takes animals that have medical and behavioral issues that require a higher cost per animal than the average healthy animal in care. APA focuses on these animals in an effort to have a measurable effect on the live release rate at AAC. In June alone, of all animals transferred from Austin Animal Center to partners, APA took 77% and over 200 times the number taken by the other brick and mortar shelter in Austin. APA’s cost to care for the animals pulled this past quarter was approximately $500,000-$750,000. These numbers are currently being validated through an external agency and will be reflected as accurately as possible in future reports. APA receives no funding from the City of Austin but does receive use of the TLAC property, which if on the rental market could reasonably expect to receive $8 per square foot, per year in rent for the use, condition and location that it is in (ie $100,000 per quarter). APA!, therefore, contributed between $400,000-650,000 last quarter to subsidize the city’s budget to serve Austin animals. APA’s mission is to eliminate the unnecessary killing of shelter animals. Over the last 10 years of the license agreement, the role of APA’s support at AAC has shifted away from lifesaving and into serving as “overflow” for AAC, serving many animals that should not be at risk of euthanasia in the city’s publicly-funded shelter. The Austin Animal Center has received an increase in budget of more than 10 million dollars since 2010 and many supports have been put in place over the years by Austin City Council. APA is 100% committed to continuing to serve as a safety net for animals that cannot be saved through tax payer dollars and is currently negotiating a license agreement that more accurately reflects the mission of APA and the responsible utilization of all funds put towards animals, whether they are donated or tax funded. AAC Transfers in June 2021 (from AAC report): 256 animals were transferred to 24 AAC rescue …

Building Design Standards - Section TBD I. Development Standards J. Transportation Demand Management - Section TBD K. Environmental Regulations 1 WORKING DRAFT: South Central Waterfront Regulating Plan FOR DISCUSSION ONLY SCW Regulating Plan Text A. Purpose The purpose of this South Central Waterfront District (SCWD) Regulating Plan is to implement the goals of the South Central Waterfront Vision Framework Plan (the Vision Framework Plan), which was adopted as an amendment to Imagine Austin in June of 2016. This Regulating Plan is incorporated as part of the Vision Framework Plan, and provides applicable procedures and development standards for eligible properties electing to opt into the provisions of the SCWD Overlay Zone, set forth in 23-4D-9120 of the Land Development Code. B. Context The South Central Waterfront district as identified in the Vision Framework Plan contains City right-of- way for four arterials, one city-owned property, and over thirty separate private properties and owners, which collectively comprises 118 acres. Forecasts indicate that many properties within this district, directly across the Lady Bird Lake from Downtown Austin, are very likely to choose to redevelop over the next twenty years. The Vision Framework Plan lays the groundwork to leverage this pending redevelopment in order to create a districtwide network of connected green streets, parks, trails and public open spaces, upgrade infrastructure, as well as achieving significant numbers of new affordable housing units for the district. The Vision Framework Plan promotes a vision and a set of recommendations which include new financial tools, district governance, strategic city capital investments, and programs in order to guide redevelopment for this district over the next twenty years. The Vision Framework Plan provides a roadmap to foster public-private partnerships in order to transform this district into a sustainable, equitable and beautiful mixed-use urban neighborhood, and to provide a model which could be …
