Planned Project: • Project would address issue stated in the Corridor Study: “ . . . There is also poor pedestrian access to the waterfront from old West Austin.” • The current dead-end of Pressler Street is to be extended so that it will relate and provide access to the waterfront for pedestrians, cyclists, and runners. • Parking to be subterranean only. • Substantial roadway, trail, and sidewalk improvements at applicant’s expense will create new north-south access to bus routes on E. 5th and E. 6th Streets, the Lance Armstrong Bikeway, and the Hike and Bike Trail. 28 D-6/28/PRESENTATIONP R O M O T I O N O F T H E 1 9 8 6 T O W N L A K E C O R R I D O R S T U D Y ’ S G O A L S A N D P O L I C I E S PARKLANDS GOAL 7 .00 Establish Town Lake as a Great Central Park, serving as a centerpiece for the Austin Park System.

Planned Project: • Improvements to the Lamar Beach Park, which is adjacent to the south of the property, and which is a designated Neighborhood Park in the Town Lake Corridor Study. • New connectivity to the trail system, including the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail and the Lance Armstrong Bikeway. 29 D-6/29/PRESENTATION30 D-6/30/PRESENTATION31 D-6/31/PRESENTATION32 D-6/32/PRESENTATION7 5 ’ H E I G H T 6 LEVELS 33 D-6/33/PRESENTATIONH E I G H T C O M P A R I S O N | 6 0 ‘ V S 7 5 ‘ 6 0 ’ H E I G H T 5 LEVELS 7 5 ’ H E I G H T 6 LEVELS 34 D-6/34/PRESENTATION35 D-6/35/PRESENTATIONP R O P O S E D R E Z O N I N G • Would rezone from CS-CO-NP and LI-CO-NP to LI-PDA-NP • CS-MU site development regulations • CS-MU permitted, conditional, and prohibited uses • Exception to Increase Maximum Height from 60’ to 75’ 36 D-6/36/PRESENTATIONH E I G H T C O M P A R I S O N | 6 0 ‘ V S 7 5 ‘ 6 0 ’ H E I G H T 5 LEVELS 7 5 ’ H E I G H T 6 LEVELS 37 D-6/37/PRESENTATION
