Brodie Superiority Table Brodie site superiority is anchored in our commitment to a robust set of performance standards. At the foundation of these standards is a commitment to several third-party sustainability rating system certifications, including: 1. U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED Neighborhood Development (LEED ND) Integrate LEED ND into interdisciplinary site design and systems selection. a. Track development-wide performance using latest applicable version of the LEED ND. b. c. Gather letter of support from USGBC now to submit in support of the PUD application. d. Commit to full LEED ND submission after PUD approval. Brodie is formally registered with LEED ND as of 9/22/2021. 2. U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) SITES a. Track site design performance using latest applicable version of the SITES. Integrate SITES into interdisciplinary site design and systems selection. b. 3. Austin Energy Green Building (AEGB) Star Rating System a. Track and Certify each building to meet 3-star minimum requirement utilizing the applicable version of the Commercial Rating system. Aspire to 4-stars. b. Tracking all buildings on-site utilizing the AEGB Commercial OR Multi-family Rating system. c. Build regular touchpoints with Austin Energy as partnership in advancing missions and finding increased opportunities for shared benefit. 4. Other Third-Party Rating Systems a. In early design of residential building projects, the design teams will be encouraged to explore PassiveHouse, a process and protocol for low-energy construction standard. b. Brodie is also exploring WELL Building and Community Standards. Administered by the International Well Building Institute, these systems support health and well-being across all aspects and areas of building design and construction and community life. In addition to pursuing third-party sustainability rating system certifications, Brodie has established a customized set of goals and objectives for the project. This will embrace the critical environmental aspects of the site in its South Austin context, advance equity, resilience, and climate mitigation as core imperatives, and accelerate City and community-level planning efforts.

Open space totaling 8.1 acres is located adjacent to the Barton Creek Greenbelt. Most developed area is clustered in areas 100’ to 300’ away from the Barton Creek Greenbelt. The ordinance speaks to how to design buildings that are within 50’ of existing fuel hazards. On the Brodie site, buildings are all greater than 50’ from existing fuel. Restoration of the open space will consider defensible space. Brodie will reduce total impervious cover from approximately 86 percent net site area to a maximum impervious cover of 56 percent net site area, a 36 percent reduction, and comply with the Save Our Springs (SOS) Ordinance standards for non-degradation of water quality. Brodie is proposing to modify the maximum impervious cover allowed by the SOS Ordinance. We understand that this code modification will require a super majority vote of the City Council.

NA + + + + This site has an existing impervious cover of 86 percent and this application proposes to both reduce the impervious cover to 56 percent net site area and comply with the SOS water quality standards. Brodie is meeting the SOS Ordinance pollutant load removal requirements through green water quality controls such as rainwater harvesting and retention-irrigation. In addition, the Brodie PUD is also using the rainwater captured to meet cooling tower makeup water and conventional landscape irrigation demands. The Brodie PUD will also use air condition condensate wastewater to supplement the rainwater supply. This site has an existing impervious cover of 86 percent net site area and this application proposes to both reduce the impervious cover to 56 percent net site area and comply with the SOS water quality standards. The Brodie PUD proposes to treat 100% of the water quality volume using green water quality controls, which will include all or some of the following methods: 1) Retention/Irrigation 2) Retention/Infiltration 3) Cooling Tower Makeup water 4) Conventional Irrigation In addition, the Brodie PUD is also use air condition condensate to supplement the rainwater supply. The Brodie Oaks PUD is located in the Barton Springs Zone and is located over the Edwards Aquifer. The SOS Ordinance requires that the first water quality control be lined (to not infiltrate into the Aquifer) and as such cannot infiltrate into the ground. This Tier 2 option allowing direct stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces to a landscaped area is contrary to the SOS requirement. However, the Brodie Oaks PUD will comply with the Tier 2 reuse option by collecting rooftop rainwater and A/C condensate wastewater for reuse in traditional landscaping irrigation purposes and cooling tower makeup water. Brodie is committed to satisfying this Tier 2 requirement through the methods described above Brodie will provide a rooftop rainwater harvesting system that will serve not less than 50 percent of the landscaped areas where irrigation is required. PUD Tier 2 Provides water quality treatment for currently untreated, developed off-site areas of at least 10 acres in size.

Please reference the drainage report submitted with the original PUD application titled “Brodie Oaks Redevelopment Drainage Study” dated April 2021. There are no floodplains on the site, so no floodplain modifications are necessary. There are no waterways on-site. Nevertheless, the developed area is clustered in areas 100’ to 300’ away from the Barton Creek Greenbelt. The project is requesting a modification to the CEF buffer around Airman’s cave. According to analysis performed by Nico Hauwert (Airman’s Cave Hydro Study 2021), the cave is approximately 140’ below the surface. The project is requesting an encroachment into the CEF buffer for the purpose of subsurface parking garages or ponds and structural supports of up to 80’ with the condition that at minimum 20’ of Del Rio Clay remains between any encroachment and the vertical extent of the cave. In addition, a spring was discovered within 150’ of the existing developed site. Brodie will be removing existing impervious cover from this area in order to restore the site to natural grades as such we are proposing to encroach approximately 50’ for the purpose of restoring grades and removing existing impervious cover. No upgrades are needed for the off-site pond and infrastructure due mainly to the fact that impervious cover dropped 36 percent and the new SOS retention/irrigation and rainwater harvesting systems on-site reduced the overall stormwater flow significantly to existing facilities downstream, capturing and retaining 100 percent of the water quality event. Existing stormwater infrastructure meets Atlas 14 drainage criteria. PUD Tier 2 Provides volumetric flood detention as described in the Drainage Criteria Manual. Proposes no modifications to the existing 100-year floodplain. Provides minimum 50-foot setback for at least 50 percent of all unclassified waterways with a drainage area of 32 acres. Provides at least a 50 percent increase in the minimum waterway and/or critical environmental feature setbacks required by code. Provides drainage upgrades to off-site drainage infrastructure that does not meet current criteria in the Drainage or Environmental Criteria Manuals, such as storm drains and culverts that provide a public benefit.

Brodie is preserving 79% of all protected trees meeting preservation criteria. This includes the relocation of 10 trees into the newly created parkland on-site. Brodie is also committed to implementing a tree care plan identified in the arborist report to maintain the health of trees that are planned to be preserved in the ultimate development. Brodie has intentionally designed the site to preserve stands of significant trees in place. Brodie commits to preserving all heritage trees on-site and meeting the heritage tree ordinance. This includes the relocation of 6 trees into the newly created parkland on-site. Brodie will track and certify each building to meet 3-star minimum requirement utilizing the applicable version of the Commercial Rating system at the time of design and aspire to 4-stars. Brodie will provide a dependable, low-carbon and adaptable energy strategy for the new development. Working closely with partners at Austin Energy, Brodie team aims to find optimal energy solutions at building-, site- and district-scale. At building scale, the Brodie design aims to optimize passive design strategies through building orientation and massing and façade design to find right balance of thermal performance and access to daylight and views. The project will investigate Passive House design for the residential towers. Building will drive efficiency through high- performance systems, looking towards radiant cooling and heating and energy recovery. Although the team will investigate building-scale renewable options for the building, the team sees full potential, while balancing other roof-top and façade options, to be less than 3 percent of the total site energy. At site scale, the Brodie team is exploring phased centralized district cooling and heating alternatives, heat recovery chillers and various thermal storage alternatives. Through partnerships with Austin Energy, the Brodie team is aiming to provide the right power supply, grid-tied solution, and demand management programs to optimize the grid as it adapts to growth in the South Austin area.

Considerations include: 20-75+ jobs/acre within walking distance of transit stop is ideal for transit supportive densities according to a study in the Transportation Research Record. The plan has 54 jobs/acre in our development. The requested height is critical to achieving this density of jobs. 50 - 75 DU/acre within walking distance of transit stop is ideal for transit supportive densities according to the City of Austin TOD ordinance. The plan has 54 DU/acre in our development. This is on the low end of this range. The requested height is critical to achieving this density of housing units. TOD’s approved in the city are allowing 360’ heights and the Brodie team is asking for much less. The site is not visible from Barton Creek. The Brodie team has documented in photographs the entire trail and the bed of the creek. Brodie anticipates an artful and vibrant environment within open spaces and streetscapes and has identified a minimum of two locations for the incorporation of locally sourced public art.
