Ricardo Villalobos Ramirez, Elaine From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: C15-2022-0051 - Notice of Public Hearing Appeal Friday, July 01, 2022 3:59:18 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Good afternoon Elaine, My name is Ricardo Villalobos, P.E. and I am a resident in the Windsor Park Neighborhood. Copied on this email is my husband, Clayton Robbins, who also shares my views on this hearing as stated below. Our address is 2005 Northridge Dr, Austin, TX 78723 and we reside within 500 ft of the proposed development at 5900 Westminster Drive. We received a Notice of Public Hearing Land Development Code Variance - Interpretation Appeal and we wanted to submit our comments to the board. We have been following the proposed development of the 5900 Westminster Drive property and have been seeing a concerning chain of events. We would like to raise two comments of concern on the development and object to the current site plan application as follows: Item one, the first iteration of the design started with a 12+ acre development plan. The developer has now split the property into a number of smaller lots for the purposes of curtailing the requirements of the LDC to perform proper reviews and designs, meeting the needs of a large phased development. For instance, Section 2.2.5 of the LDC requires an Internal Circulation Route (ICR) for development of a site five acres or larger with frontage on a core transit corridor or urban roadway. If the developer intends to develop the entirety of the 12+ acre land, the site plan should follow all of the requirements of a master plan in a phased approach, not as less-than-5 acre individual site plans. The second item of concern is that the zoning requirements are also being skirted. First off, the zoning as shown on the plans is GR-V-CO-NP (a community commercial zone with vertical mixed use, following the neighborhood plan combining district) Vertical mixed use allows for inclusion of residential and commercial space combined. However, 49,980 SF of commercial space will be demolished and according to the C200 sheet of the Civil and Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC) reviewed by Jaime Cardenas on April 18, 2022, no replacement of commercial space has been designed in. I believe the removal of that amount of commercial property defies the overall intent of the community commercial zoning requirements. It has been over a year now that all of the commercial businesses have been kicked out of their rental agreements, and has left a large hole in our community to access amenities as designed for the Windsor Park Neighborhood. It would be a shame if no replacement commercial was designed in. We appreciate your time and hope you will consider our voices on this matter as concerned residents, as well as voicing our neighbors' sentiments in the Windsor Park Neighborhood. Our hope is that the developer will follow the LDC code and provide back to the community by finding the balance of residential housing, commercial space opportunities, and proper routing/access to the surrounding neighborhood.

A-1/4-APPEAL SUPPORT LETTERSRe: Appeal of Windsor Village Site Plan Approval Case Number: SP-2020-0257C.SH Location: 5900 Westminster Drive, Austin, TX 78723 To Whom it May Concern, Our apartment complex, which is within about 1400 feet of the Windsor Village Shopping Center, houses low-income residents who already miss businesses displaced by the proposed redevelopment of the site. Many residents do not drive, and this nearby center has provided retail and services for them. We understand the currently proposed project is lacking proper sidewalks both at the street and within the apartment complex, and insufficient ground-floor commercial space to serve not only the new residents on the site, but nearby neighbors who have relied this 60-year old neighborhood shopping center. Many of our residents use scooters and wheelchairs and will need sufficient sidewalks to visit any of the proposed amenities at the site location. We therefore support the appeal the approval of the Windsor Village site permit application made by the Development Services Department. We ask for a project that meets the requirements of the City of Austin’s Vertical Mixed Use and Commercial Design Standard ordinances to provide accessible and adequate commercial spaces for the community. Sincerely, Jolene Keene Executive Director Accessible Housing Austin! 512-640-7781 Accessible Housing Austin! · (512) 640-7781 · 1100 South IH 35 Frontage Road · Austin, Texas 78704 A-1/5-APPEAL SUPPORT LETTERSFrom: To: Subject: Date: Rachel Luebe Ramirez, Elaine Re: Appeal of Windsor Village Site Plan Approval Saturday, July 09, 2022 3:44:20 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Re: Appeal of Windsor Village Site Plan Approval Case Number: SP-2020-0257C.SH Location: 5900 Westminster Drive, 
Austin, TX 78723 To whom it may concern, I live at 5901 Thames Drive, Austin TX 78723 in the Windsor Park neighborhood. I understand the currently approved site plan for redeveloping the Windsor Village Shopping Center fails to meet many of the City of Austin’s Land Development Code requirements for a Vertical Mixed Use project. Many residents of this neighborhood have relied on the convenience the Windsor Village shops and services have offered for many years. We welcome the new residents who will inhabit the 405 apartments planned at Windsor Village, but increasing the density while substantially reducing the commercial space on the site is contrary to both common sense and Austin’s goals for a compact and accessible City. I therefore support the appeal of the approved Windsor Village site plan permit application made by the Development Services Department.

A-1/6-APPEAL SUPPORT LETTERSFrom: To: Subject: Date: Deborah Miller Ramirez, Elaine Appeal of Windsor Village Site Plan Approval Case Number: SP-2020-0257C.SH Saturday, July 09, 2022 3:51:22 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To whom it may concern, I write as a Windsor Park resident (5306 Abingdon Place) to support the appeal of the approved Windsor Village site plan permit application (Case Number: SP-2020-0257C.SH, 5900 Westminster Drive, Austin, TX 78723) made by the Development Services Department. It appears that that the review staff failed to correctly interpret the quite-complicated Austin Land Development Code’s Vertical Mixed Use (VMU) and Commercial Design Standards for a proper VMU project. VMU allows residential uses on commercially zoned land, but not at the displacement of commercial uses, and requires numerous amenities to be included in the project. With the climate crisis going out of control, mixed-use neighborhoods are especially important in helping us live our lives happily without having to drive so much. (Also to reduce our traffic problems.) I am very excited at the prospect of 405 new apartments to help with our housing shortage, but they and other residents should also be able to benefit from the convenience that Windsor Village shops and services have offered and been relied on for many years. The proposed substantial reduction of the commercial space on the site is contrary to our goals for a compact and accessible city. I therefore ask that you make sure that the project meets the requirements of the City of Austin’s Vertical Mixed Use and Commercial Design Standard ordinances to provide accessible and adequate commercial spaces for the community. Thank you for your consideration, Deborah Miller Windsor Park resident CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

My husband and I live at 5906 Dunbury Drive in the Windsor Park neighborhood. We bought our house in 2008 and have enjoyed living in the neighborhood, making use of businesses in the centrally located Windsor Village Shopping Center. We used to run over to get produce and other items at the small grocery store (now Hank's). We've eaten many pizzas and breakfast tacos from now gone businesses. We've shopped for clothing and other goods at the now gone department store and dollar store - always nice to have to close. A shopping center we could walk to was a major plus when we decided to purchase our home. I miss all the businesses that have gone but hope for more commercial businesses to move in. The space is perfect, and was designed, to be a hub for retail and dining - a place to meet and greet with your neighbors. Seeing how Hank's thrives, it appears this area of land can again. Changed, with mixed use that includes housing, but still providing a space for dining and retail - as is intended in the city's planning vision - and that is requested by the citizens of Windsor Park. We ask that you follow the promise that is set out by well-intentioned and thoughtful city planning endeavours - please do not disregard essential parts of this vision. It's not fair to the city and it's not fair to my neighborhood. Please respect our requests as they are the same as what is in the code requirements.

I moved to Windsor Park five years ago because I loved the neighbors, the amenities in the nearby Windsor Village and the local elementary schools. Before it closed, I routinely used the retail in Windsor Village (including the Dollar General, the taco and pizza restaurants, a neighborhood gym, and an artists' co-op). My son and I regularly use the green space on site (directly across from the public library). The current site plan for redevelopment of the center does not meet requirements for a VMU project. While I appreciate housing density and its necessity to meet our current residential market challenges, that density must come with infrastructure to support hundreds of new neighbors currently planned for the site. Instead, the site plan significantly reduces both commercial space and green space -- both of which are much neglected and needed on Austin's East Side. Adding housing without the commercial and public space necessary to support it -- indeed, removing such existing, vital services and failing to replace them -- runs counter to the city's goals for accessible, walkable urban environments. I support the appeal of the approved Windsor Village site plan permit application, and I ask for a project that takes into consideration these needs. The current site plan as approved does not meet requirements of Austin's VMU and commercial design standard ordinances, to the detriment of the neighborhood and the new neighbors we seek to welcome here.

A-1/32-APPEAL SUPPORT LETTERS Felicia Donley X 5702 Westminster Dr , Austin 78723 512-689-0459 I am in favor of the Appeal, and against the against the approval of this development as it stands. 1) Approval removes almost all commercial use area of the property. This area has been central to the community for years. The removal of this commercial property forces residents to go outside of the community to purchase items they were previously able get just down the street. 2) No traffic survey has been completed to show how the addition of 400+ units (800+ cars) will impact already congested intersections. How will these additional cars get into and out of the neighborhood without negatively impacting residents already living there? 3) No assurances that Westminster Dr will not become a busy through street, impacting the ability of residents to walk and play. This is a neighborhood street that children use to get to school. Westminster becoming a main road to get into and out of the neighborhood will reduce safety and property values of all the houses on the street. 4) Approval removes almost all green space from the property. The field behind the shops has been used for recreation by area residents for years, and is a noise break between the houses and commercial area. Minimal area has been allotted for green space in an already deficient area while adding additional people that need to use these spaces.

I truly appreciate the consideration. Amy Gladstein To Whom it May Concern, I am a resident of 5607 Berkman Drive which is one block from the proposed entrance to the development in question. I understand the currently approved site plan for redeveloping the Windsor Village Shopping Center fails to meet many of the City of Austin’s Land Development Code requirements for a Vertical Mixed Use project. Many residents of this neighborhood have relied on the convenience that Windsor Village shops and services have offered for many years and the safety of our streets. We welcome the new neighbors who will inhabit the 405 apartments planned at Windsor Village, but increasing the density while substantially reducing the commercial space on the site is contrary to both common sense and Austin’s goals for a compact and accessible City. As a non driver, accessibility and safety are prime concerns of mine and the main reasons I am able to stay in my home. I therefore support the appeal of the approved Windsor Village site plan permit application made by the Development Services Department. We ask for a project that meets the requirements of the City of Austin’s Vertical Mixed Use and Commercial Design Standard ordinances to provide accessible and adequate commercial spaces for the community.
