The resolution contemplates the creation of a BAAP fund to support fee waivers or reductions for applicants who meet the eligibility criteria; as well as pro bono assistance with navigating the application process and subsequent proceedings. To meet the requirements outlined in this resolution, staff is working with the Financial Services Department to identify a funding source. In addition, staff is working with the procurement office to develop a process to procure pro-bono legal services. Staff does not anticipate completing all the components of the Council direction until May 2022 at which time a full response will be provided. Should you have questions or need additional information, please contact Doron Silberstein, Equity and Inclusion Program Manager, at doron.silberstein@austintexas.gov or (512) 978-1732. cc: Spencer Cronk, City Manager Rodney Gonzales, Assistant City Manager

The Target parking lot is escalated above grade by 4’ so we were allowed an over all height of 31’ for this new pylon. • Location Issues: We had a location for the pylon however, when we went to dig the hole, there was an underground pipe that was not detected as it was on Targets property and not part of the underground utilities that is marked by the underground utility locator. • Variance Request: I would like to see if we can get an additional 10’ – 12’ of height approved. The location that would require this are within the tree line and would therefore need the height increase for the sign to be seen. C-2/2-PRESENTATION C-2/3-PRESENTATION E X A M P L E S O F S I G N W I T H E X I S T I N G C O D E A P P L I E D • As you can see from this flag test, the proposed location of the pylon would not clear the tree line as well as not provide any visibility whatsoever if you are looking westbound or eastbound down Great Hills Rd. The proposed request would not only provide us with the opportunity to save the landscaping on the property, but also provide traffic markers on the Great Hills Rd.

2904 RIVERCREST DRIVE AUSTIN, TX 78746 Case # 2022-000021 BA D-4/1-PRESENTATION AERIAL D-4/2-PRESENTATION MAP AERIAL D-4/3-PRESENTATION VARIANCE REQUEST Because the house currently sits 25’ from the front property line, we are respectfully seeking BoA Variance from: I. 25-2-492(D) LA zoning front setback encroachment to reduce the required 40-foot setback to 25-foot setback for existing residence. II. 25-2-963(E)(1)(B) to increase the height of a non-complying wall in the front setback from 23’8” to 24’1”. D-4/4-PRESENTATION REASONABLE USE The zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: • The lot is substandard as it was platted as a 15,416 square-foot lot in the mid- 1960s. It is less than 1 acre and does not meet the standards prescribed by Lake Austin zoning requirements. • This limits the property owners’ ability to reasonably use the site to the highest and best use as contemplated by the original plat and subsequent “A” and “LA” zoning categories. D-4/5-PRESENTATION HARDSHIP The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: • The applicant respectfully requests the board acknowledge the hardships in place as a result of the lot size being less than 1 acre, City initiated rezoning to LA zoning, existing front setback encroachment acknowledgement via approved building permits over a 30-year period, and the need to perform a substantial remodel on a 1988 era structure. • Compliance with existing 40-foot setback requires either full or partial demolition of the existing residence. D-4/6-PRESENTATION HARDSHIP ( CONT ’ D) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: • The site was issued a multitude of development permit approvals, exacerbating ongoing remodels for a noncomplying structure. D-4/7-PRESENTATION AREA CHARACTER The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not impair the use of adjacent conforming property, and will not impair the purpose of the regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located because: • There is zero known adverse impact on any adjacent property whether it be near or far from this site. • The reduction in impervious cover from 50% to 35% is a benefit not only to the environment but also alleviates any potential drainage concerns which may or may not have been an issue over the years (we are not aware of any drainage issues).

54 Anthony Street Austin, TX 78702 CASE #C15-2022-0018 E-4/1-PRESENTATION 54 ANTHONY - VARIANCE REQUEST Requesting a variance from City of Austin Land Development Code: 1) Section 25-2-492 (Site Development Regulations) from setback requirements to decrease the minimum front yard setback from 25 feet (required) to 10 feet (requested) 2) b) Section 25-2-943 (Substandard Lot) (1) (a) to decrease the minimum Lot Size requirements from 4,000 square feet (required) to 3,380 square fee E-4/2-PRESENTATION CURRENT CONDITIONS (FRONT OF LOT) E-4/3-PRESENTATION CURRENT CONDITIONS (REAR OF LOT) E-4/4-PRESENTATION 54 ANTHONY – KEY FACTORS  SUBSTANDARD LOT SIZE OF 3,380 SQUARE FEET  BUILDABLE AREA REDUCED BY AE EASEMENT (SIDE) - 1,035 SF  BEACH FRONT OVERLAY REDUCING IMPERVIOUS COVER DOWN TO 40%  PROTECTED PECAN TREES IN THE MIDDLE REAR OF THE LOT  LEGAL LOT PER 1995 PLATTING RULE PLATTING EXCEPTION  TINY HOME WOULD BE ONLY OPTION WITHOUT VARIANCE APPROVAL  CURRENT STRUCTURES ARE IN SEVERE NEED OF DEMO  PROJECT HAS NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORT E-4/5-PRESENTATION 54 ANTHONY – CAPITAL CORRIDOR VIEW AND FESTIVAL BEACH OVERLAY E-4/6-PRESENTATION 54 ANTHONY – ORIGINAL 1910 PLAT E-4/7-PRESENTATION REASONABLE USE  Current SF3 site development / zoning regulations do not apply to this lot. This lot is considered to be a substandard lot / "small lot" per LCD 25-2-943, section (B) (1) (A). Per the survey the entire lot stands at a total of 3,380 SF. This is probably one of the smallest lots existing in Austin. The owner is requesting to build a modest home for his family and only asking for leniency as far as the current SF3 lot size requirement and for a reasonable reduction of 15 feet from the standard front yard setback. In order to build a livable space for a single family, the additional square footage is undoubtably necessary. E-4/8-PRESENTATION HARDSHIP  This substandard lot has always been used as a single family residence since the early 1940s. The original structures of a single family 480SF home and 162SF garage still exist. This particular lot runs along a side alley on the north side of lot also which has a 15 foot electrical easement. Per current building requirements and the Austin Energy Criteria Manual, this reduces the buildable area by an approximate 1,040 due to the newly adopted requirement by AE. E-4/9-PRESENTATION NOT GENERAL TO THE AREA  A majority of the lots in this neighborhood are at or above …
