• The Montopolis-Fairway Mixed Use Zoning & FLUM Case is a clear example of Environmental Racism. Montopolis is a predominantly low- income community with a majority of people of color. • Montopolis families are being squeezed out by luxury & unaffordable apartments. Thes new Apartments do not serve families. The majority of over 3,744 apartment units are 1- or 2- bedroom units. The Montopolis-Fairway Mix Use Case is currently zoned SF-3-GR- NP. The Montopolis-Fairway Mix Use case is a developers speculation case and here is the evidence: • On February 21, 2024 it was presentd as CS-MU-V-NP. • On May 17th, 2024, it was then presented as CS-DB90-NP • On September 19, 2025 is was presented as GR-V-NP • On January 22, 2026 is presented as GR-V-DB90-NP • We know where fundamental change is most urgently needed. Montopolis already has the highest concentration of multifamily, commercial and industrial zoning of any planning area in the city. Our green spaces, like our single-family zoning, are precious and limited. Help us to protect our families and our community by opposing clearly incompatible and unwelcome development.

RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Community Development Commission WHEREAS, The Austin Community Development Commission is tasked with reviewing programs designed to serve the poor and the community at large, and providing recommendations to the Austin City Council; WHEREAS, the Community Development Commission has discussed the need for deeply affordable housing with the Austin Housing Department, the Austin Planning Department, additional city departments, and community organizations, that coordinate with community development programs; and WHEREAS, one of those community organizations, People Organized in Defense of Earth and her Resources (PODER), has brought forward a recommendation to city council to purchase the property at Montopolis and Fairway to secure the property for future low-income single-family housing; and WHEREAS, In 2001 the Austin City Council adopted the Montopolis Neighborhood Plan, which called for sustaining its single-family zoning in the heart of Montopolis; and WHEREAS, the 2018 report, “Uprooted: Residential Displacement in Austin’s Gentrifying Neighborhood and What Can be Done About It,” commissioned by the Austin City Council and completed by University of Texas experts recommended that the city make strategic, anti- displacement investments in Montopolis to protect it from further gentrification; and WHEREAS, for years, the Montopolis Neighborhood Plan Contact Team, along with other supporters, have been fighting to sustain its single-family zoning; and WHEREAS, Montopolis already has the highest concentration of multifamily, commercial, and industrial zoning of any planning area in the city; and WHEREAS, The 1.9 acres, known as the Montopolis-Fairway Zoning case, is currently zoned for single-family housing and includes properties at 6202, 6204 Caddie Street; 6205, 6211, 6215 Fairway Street; 1600, 1604, 1606, 1608, 1612, and 1614 Montopolis; and WHEREAS, while the zoning request from the developer to change the zoning from Single- Family (SF-3-NP) and Community Commercial (GR-NP) to Community Commercial Vertical mixed use (GR-V-NP) was denied, the property remains vulnerable to future gentrifying developments; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Community Development Commission recommends that the city of Austin purchase the property included in the Montopolis-Fairway zoning case to be used to build low-income single-family housing and protect the neighborhood from future gentrification.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Support for allocating $10 million for rental assistance Date: April XX, 2026 Subject: Rental Assistance Recommendations Motioned By: Commissioner Seconded By: Commissioner Recommendation Description of Recommendation to Council ● Allocate $10 million in funding to restart the rental assistance program and to provide emergency rental assistance. Rationale As Austin celebrates the recent decrease in rents driven by an increase in housing supply, the reality is that our community is also experiencing record numbers of evictions and a growing number of neighbors facing homelessness. The increase in housing supply has contributed to declining rents at the higher end of the market, but it has not meaningfully improved affordability for those struggling on the lower end of the income spectrum, especially because the increased density has led to the demolition of naturally occurring affordable housing. Austin must continue to address housing supply, but we must also ensure that our policies support those most at risk of displacement. Protecting our most vulnerable residents is essential to maintaining the inclusive and resilient community we strive to be. As lower-wage workers—those who keep our city functioning every day—struggle to remain in Austin, the Housing Department has made the decision to end its rental assistance program. This program has been a critical lifeline. According to Dr. Murillo of El Buen Samaritano, it was already reaching only about 20% of those in need—families on the brink of eviction. Ending the program now, when the need is clearly far greater than the resources available, will only exacerbate housing instability across our community. For many families, rental assistance is the difference between stability and eviction, between remaining housed and falling into homelessness. Commendation Whereas, data shows that higher income, luxury developments dominate the housing built in Austin over the past several years, and Whereas, although Austin is leading the nation in affordable unit development, we are only building housing at 60% MFI and above, and Whereas, Austin is falling behind in the development of housing that is affordable for our lowest-income neighbors, particularly those living at or below 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI), and Whereas, nearly half of all renters struggling to pay rent and Austin is seeing more than 14,000 evictions in the last 12 months, and Whereas, the Austin Community Development Commission has heard countless stories from residents highlighting the urgent need for rental assistance and the importance of expanding, not …

To: Mayor and Members of the Austin City Council From: Austin Community Development Commission Date: March 10, 2026 Re: Completion of Council Charge Regarding Equity/Anti-Displacement Overlay Study Dear Mayor and Council Members, The Austin Community Development Commission (CDC) appreciates the opportunity to review the final presentation of the Austin Equity Overlay Study delivered to our Commission on February 10, 2026. We recognize the significant work undertaken to analyze displacement risk, community concerns, and potential anti-displacement strategies related to the HOME Phase 2 Ordinance. However, after careful review, the Commission finds that the original Council charge has not been fully satisfied. Council directed staff to “study the feasibility, merits, and risks of applying an equity/anti- displacement overlay and the impacts that such an overlay could have on affordability, displacement, and property values.” While the presentation reiterates this charge (see Project Understanding, p.3), the analysis seems to have focused on an analysis of existing policies, displacement risk and programmatic recommendations to displace risk. While these may be valuable analyses, they do not encompass the original directive to specifically explore an overlay to the ordinance, focused on mitigating displacement. At no point does the report analyze the feasibility, legal considerations, implementation mechanics, fiscal implications, or property value impacts of establishing a geographic equity overlay. The omission is particularly significant given the study’s own findings: • • “H.O.M.E. permits are more frequent in lower-value submarkets, generally east of I-35” (p.16). “Approximately 70% of H.O.M.E. permits on properties without homestead exemptions show development indicators, mostly concentrated east of downtown, in primarily Active Displacement Risk census tracts” (p.16) • The displacement risk typology identifies areas classified as Vulnerable, Active Risk, and Chronic Risk (p.15) These findings underscore the importance of evaluating targeted mitigation tools. Yet the report does not assess whether an equity overlay could serve as such a tool, nor does it examine its potential impacts. The Commission is concerned that without completing the feasibility component of the charge: 1. Council’s directive remains unfulfilled; 2. The City’s equity commitments risk appearing incomplete; and 3. Community trust may be further eroded, particularly in neighborhoods historically affected by gentrification and displacement. This concern is procedural as well as substantive. The presentation does not acknowledge that the scope was narrowed, nor does it explain that the overlay feasibility analysis was not undertaken.
