C14-2020-0147 1 ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET CASE: C14-2020-0147 200 Academy DISTRICT: 9 ZONING RQUEST: Tract 1: from CS-1-NCCD-NP to CS-1-MU-NP Tract 2: from CS-NCCD-NP to CS-MU-NP Tract 3: from MF-4-NCCD-NP to MF-4-NP ADDRESS: 146 ½, 200, 200 ½, 204 ½ Academy Drive, 1006 and 1020 Melissa Lane SITE AREA: 4.6 acres PROPERTY OWNER: Spearhead Academy LTD (Chris Wallin) AGENT: Weiss Architecture Inc (Richard Weiss) CASE MANAGER: Kate Clark (512-974-1237, kate.clark@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the following: Tract 1: to commercial-liquor sales-mixed use-neighborhood conservation combining district- neighborhood plan (CS-1-MU-NCCD-NP) combining district zoning, and to amend the NCCD’s site development regulations, and permitted and conditional land uses. Tract 2: to general commercial services-mixed use-neighborhood conservation combining district-neighborhood plan (CS-MU-NCCD-NP) combining district zoning, and to amend the NCCD’s site development regulations, and permitted and conditional land uses. Tract 3: to multifamily residence moderate-high density-neighborhood conservation combining district-neighborhood plan (MF-4-NCCD-NP) combining district zoning, to amend the NCCD’s site development regulations. A Restrictive Covenant (RC) that includes all recommendations listed in the Transportation Mitigation Memo, dated May 21, 2021 as provided Exhibit D: TIA Memo. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see pages 3-5. C14-2020-0147 2 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: September 14, 2021 Scheduled for Planning Commission August 10, 2021 Approved neighborhood’s request to postpone to September 14, 2021 on the consent agenda. Vote: 7-0. [Commissioner Thompson -1st, Commission Howard - 2nd; Commissioners Llanes Pulido and Shieh were off the dais; Vice Chair Hempel and Commissioners Connolly, Mushtaler and Schneider were absent]. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be Scheduled for City Council ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES Staff has received comments in opposition to this rezoning request. For all written and emailed comments, please see Exhibit C: Correspondence Received. This property is currently subject to the Fairview Park Neighborhood Conservation Combining District (NCCD) and therefore has more restrictive site development standards and permitted land uses than what the existing base districts allow. The following table illustrates the current zoning and what base zoning district it is most similar too based on current allowed site development standards and permitted land uses within the NCCD: Current Zoning Most Similar Base Zoning Tract 1: CS-1-NCCD-NP NO (neighborhood office) Tract 2: CS-NCCD-NP NO (neighborhood office) Tract 3: MF-4-NCCD-NP MF-2 (multifamily residence low density) The applicant is requesting to be removed from the Fairview Park NCCD. This NCCD was created in 1986 (Ordinance No. 86-0807-H) and has been amended three times since then. Two of those times were to add additional properties into the boundary (Ordinance No. 030717-119 and Ordinance No. 20100923-120) and the most recent to change the conditions of zoning on the property immediately west of this site (Ordinance No. 20141211-139). CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is approximately 4.6 acres and is currently developed with the old Austin Opera House and associated surface parking. It was previously used as a music venue and recording studio. The performance areas have been converted into office space, but the recording studio remains. Adjacent zoning consists of CS-MU-V-NP to the north, CS-NCCD-NP to the west, GR-H- C14-2020-0147 3 NCCD-NP to the south, and SF-3-H-NCCD-NP and SF-3-NCCD-NP to the east across Melissa Lane. Please refer to Exhibit A: Zoning Map and Exhibit B: Aerial Map. The applicant would like to build a mixed-use development on this property and is requesting to be removed from the NCCD. If the applicant’s request was granted by City Council, they would be allowed to build under the current site development standards for each tract’s base zoning district. The following tables illustrate what is currently allowed by code through the NCCD, what the applicant is requesting with this rezoning case and staff’s recommendation. Tract 1 (CS-1-NCCD-NP) and Tract 2 (CS-NCCD-NP) Site Development Standards Standard Current Site Development Standards (per the NCCD) Applicant Request (CS-1 and CS base zoning district standards) Staff Recommendation Zoning CS-1-NCCD-NP CS-1-MU-NP CS-1-MU-NCCD-NP CS-NCCD-NP CS-MU-NP CS-MU-NCCD-NP Floor Area Ratio 0.35:1 Height 35’ of 2 stories 2:1 60’ 95% 95% 1.5:1 60’ 75% 95% No unit cap 43 units per acres 35% 60% 15 Tract 3 (MF-4-NCCD-NP) Site Development Standards Current Site Development Standards (per the NCCD) Applicant Request (MF-4 base zoning district standards) Staff Recommendation Zoning MF-4-NCCD-NP MF-4-NP MF-4-NCCD-NP Units Per Acre 22 No unit cap Building Coverage Impervious Cover Maximum Units per Acre Standard 36 units per acre plus MF-3 base zoning minimum site area requirements for each dwelling unit (1,200 SF for an efficiency dwelling unit; 1,500 SF, for a one-bedroom dwelling unit; and 1,800 SF for a C14-2020-0147 4 Tract 3 (MF-4-NCCD-NP) Site Development Standards dwelling unit with two or more bedrooms.) Impervious Cover 55% 70% 65% Per the current NCCD ordinance, only office uses (excluding medical office) are allowed within Tracts 1 and 2. Should the applicant’s rezoning request be granted by City Council, staff recommends prohibiting and making conditional the following land uses for these tracts. PROHIBITED LAND USES (TRACT 1) Agricultural Sales and Services Automotive Rentals Automotive Repair Services Automotive Sales Automotive Washing (of any type) Bail Bond Services Building Maintenance Services Campground Commercial Blood Plasma Center Construction Sales and Services Consumer Repair Services Convenience Storage Drop-Off Recycling Collection Facility Electronic Prototype Assembly Electronic Testing Equipment Repair Services Equipment Sales Exterminating Services Funeral Services Kennels Laundry Services Monument Retail Sales Pawn Shop Services Pedicab Storage and Dispatch Research Services Service Station Vehicle Storage Veterinary Services Custom Manufacturing Indoor Crop Production Club or Lodge Community Events Congregate Living Hospital Services (General) Maintenance and Service Facilities Residential Treatment CONDITIONAL LAND USES (TRACT 1) Cocktail Lounge (maximum 17,500 square feet allowed) Limited Warehousing and Distribution PROHIBITED LAND USES (TRACT 2) Agricultural Sales and Services Automotive Rentals Automotive Repair Services Automotive Sales Automotive Washing (of any type) Bail Bond Services Building Maintenance Services Campground Commercial Blood Plasma Center Construction Sales and Services Consumer Repair Services Convenience Storage Drop-Off Recycling Collection Facility Electronic Prototype Assembly Equipment Repair Services Equipment Sales C14-2020-0147 5 PROHIBITED LAND USES (TRACT 2, CONTINUED) Exterminating Services Funeral Services Kennels Laundry Services Pawn Shop Services Pedicab Storage and Dispatch Research Services Service Station CONDITIONAL LAND USES (TRACT 2) Limited Warehousing and Distribution BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Vehicle Storage Veterinary Services Custom Manufacturing Club or Lodge Community Events Congregate Living Hospital Services (General) Maintenance and Service Facilities Residential Treatment 1. Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. The Fairview Park NCCD was adopted by City Council in 1986. Since its creation properties have been added to the boundary or rezoned to allow for a change in entitlements but no properties have been removed from the boundary. Rezoning this site to allow for additional entitlements and land uses while keeping it within the existing NCCD boundary would be consistent with past treatment of properties within this NCCD. 2. The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning; Zoning should promote a transition between adjacent and nearby zoning districts, land uses, and development intensities. Tracts 1 and 2 of this property are surrounded by commercial base zoning districts. Allowing for an increase in site development standards and permitted land uses (including residential) would be consistent with the adjacent zoning pattern. Tract 3’s current zoning is most closely aligned with the MF-2 zoning district. Allowing for the equivalent of MF-3 zoning on this tract would still be compatible with single-family uses and provide a transition in land use and development intensity from S. Congress to Melissa Lane.

The site is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is located in the East Bouldin Creek Watershed of the Colorado River Basin, which is classified as an Urban Watershed by Chapter 25-8 of the City's Land Development Code. 2. Zoning district impervious cover limits apply in the Urban Watershed classification. 3. According to floodplain maps, there is a floodplain within the project location. Based upon the location of the floodplain, offsite drainage should be calculated to determine whether a Critical Water Quality Zone exists within the project location. 4. Standard landscaping and tree protection will be required in accordance with LDC 25-2 and 25-8 for all development and/or redevelopment. 5. At this time, site specific information is unavailable regarding vegetation, areas of steep slope, or other environmental features such as bluffs, springs, canyon rimrock, caves, sinkholes, and wetlands. 6. This site is required to provide on-site water quality controls (or payment in lieu of) for all development and/or redevelopment when 8,000 square feet cumulative is exceeded, and onsite control for the two-year storm. 7. At this time, no information has been provided as to whether this property has any preexisting approvals that preempt current water quality or Code requirements. PARD Review PR1: Parkland dedication will be required for the new residential units proposed by this development, multifamily with CS-MU-NCCD-NP, CS-1-MU-NCCD-NP and MF-4- NCCD-NP zoning, at the time of subdivision or site plan, per City Code § 25-1-601. Whether the requirement shall be met with fees in-lieu or dedicated land will be determined using the criteria in City Code Title 25, Article 14, as amended. Should fees in-lieu be required, those fees shall be used toward park investments in the form of land acquisition and/or park amenities within the surrounding area, per the Parkland Dedication Operating Procedures § 14.3.11 and City Code § 25-1-607 (B)(1) & (2). If the applicant wishes to discuss parkland dedication requirements in advance of site plan or subdivision applications, please contact this reviewer: thomas.rowlinson@austintexas.gov. At the applicant’s request, PARD can provide an early determination of whether fees in-lieu of land will be allowed. C14-2020-0147 9 Site Plan SP1. Any new development is subject to Subchapter E. Design Standards and Mixed Use. Additional comments will be made when the site plan is submitted. SP2. The site is subject to compatibility standards. Along the east and south property lines, the following standards apply: • No structure may be built within 25 feet of the property line. • No structure in excess of two stories or 30 feet in height may be constructed within 50 feet of the property line. 100 feet of the property line. • No structure in excess of three stories or 40 feet in height may be constructed within • No parking or driveways are allowed within 25 feet of the property line. • A landscape area at least 25 feet wide is required along the property line.

The proposed use profoundly violates our Neighborhood Plan, and it also violates the intended nature and character of our residential neighborhood. The change must not be approved. During my tenure as President of South River City Citizens we experienced chronic and significant disturbance from live music venues located at the site. We do not want that experience to be repeated. The developer needs to find an appropriate location for the noise, litter, and traffic that will accompany his desired use. Our planning team has met with the developer's representative, and we have listened to his plans. I am very familiar with the site, and I lived at 122B Academy Drive for about a year. The uses indicated in our Neighborhood Plan are still reasonable uses. Our Neighborhood Plan was developed and has been maintained at great cost and effort by neighbors and city staff. The Plan is documented as a City of Austin ordinance. Thank you for your support. It is not necessary to sacrifice 100% of the Austin quality of life to allow developers to increase their wealth.

Full Contact Team Meeting: Planning Department Meeting: Postponement by Staff: Postponements by Applicant: Postponement by NPCT: August 10, 2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TIMELINE • The GSRCC Neighborhood Planning Contact Team (NPCT) met with the applicant in April 2019 when application for the Neighborhood Plan FLUM Amendment was filed. • The NPCT issued a letter in opposition in response to the project as proposed on April 18, 2019. • The NPCT did not hear a response from the applicant. • The applicant filed a zoning change application in late 2020. • The applicant filed a TIA with the City of Austin in October 2020 and completed the required TIA review with the City in May 2021. • The NPCT and subcommittee of concerned neighbors have worked to review the TIA, the new uses proposed in the TIA and the concepts presented by the applicant. The SRCC neighbors have worked for many years in a progressive planning approach which is evidenced by the adoption of the first city NCCD for Fairview Park which was developed and adopted at a time when the city had not even approached neighborhood planning yet. As the neighborhood adjoins South Congress there was early acknowledgement that commercial and mixed use would develop along the S. Congress corridor and there would be a threat to preservation of the historic neighborhood of Fairview Park. The neighborhood, while many may be disappointed by the changes to S. Congress from its (slower feel of the) loss of local merchants, accepts the increased density, commercial development and “tourist destination” it has become, of course, we have no choice really. But the NCCD was put into place and the FLUM developed to allow Office and Multifamily use on the 200 Academy property which is an appropriate transitional use next to single family. A music venue on this property, which does not have frontage or access to S. Congress is not an acceptable use to the neighborhood. It is deep into the neighborhood with its only access from a neighborhood collector street with 30’ of pavement. SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the FLUM not be amended to allow more intense uses as proposed by this application. HISTORY OF MUSIC VENUE Applicant believes that the need for a ‘cocktail lounge’ music venue at this location is driven by its history. The following is our response to this argument. The following was prepared by Brian Beattie who along with wife Valerie Fowler live at 1211 Ravine, across from 200 Academy. “I am a lifelong professional musician/ record producer. I saw lots of great shows at The Opry House, I played there a few times myself, and I've made a quite a few records at Arlyn, the recording studio within the 200 Academy complex. And somehow, I still love music! Additionally, I'm no "nimby", and I would welcome the redevelopment of the property at 200 Academy.” Brian Beattie. Problems with the venues: The developers want to use the branding and value of the property's association with "The Austin Opry House" as a centerpiece of their development. Although I greatly appreciate the history of the Opry House and the many legendary acts that came to play there, there is a second, parallel history that replayed again and again during the Opry House's relatively brief tenure. During the 16 or so years of the Opry House's existence, there was a constant battle with the neighborhood over the noise, parking and behavior of the well lubricated patrons spilling out en masse into the neighborhood as the shows ended late in the night. The owners of the Texas Opry House in '74, and the Austin Opry House between 77 and 87, and the Terrace/ Opera House in the late 80's and early 90's constantly attempted to mitigate the effects that the club had on the neighborhood, but the same problems played out again and again. • Too much traffic all happening at once in the middle of the night when the shows let out, • Too many people parking all up and down the streets of the neighborhood • Too many drunk, loud, excited patrons wandering the neighborhood looking for their cars, or a place to pee, or to perform other natural acts that are usually private affairs when one's judgement is less clouded. • Trash everywhere. Tons of bottles, beer cans, food containers, condoms, etc. Sort of what might be expected, near a bar. Continued Problems lead to restrictions: It happened in '74 as "The Texas Opry House", and that led to enough neighborhood complaints to shut the place down, and it happened immediately again when it re-opened as "The Austin Opry House" in '77. Within a short time, the owners had to severely limit the number of tickets they could sell, and the size and frequency of shows that they could produce, yet they could never mitigate what was beyond their control, which is the way that thousands of intoxicated, excited folks behave when they are released into the cool Austin night. It became such a problem that the club's liquor license was eventually revoked by the TABC. There was NEVER a time when the "Opry House" existed that it was able to operate in a way that did not adversely affect the neighborhood. Additional Historic Facts: • After it was first platted out as "The Isaac Dekker League" the first developer of this property (James Swisher) donated the land that is presently used as South Congress Avenue as a thoroughfare for the southern approach to our lovely city. Anyone driving up South Congress Avenue is benefiting from his foresight. What a view! James Swisher lived on the property directly to the east of 200 Academy, across Melissa Street. • Fairview Park was developed by Charles Newning in 1886, who bought the old Swisher Place and rebuilt it as a grand Victorian House. He developed the roadways and infrastructure within "Fairview Park" well before he even offered lots for sale. He created all of the present roadways in the neighborhood, including Academy Drive, which was initially called "Riverside", because it was the best way to head towards the southeastern part of town from south of the river. (The current "Riverside Ave" east of S. Congress was a flood prone sand bank before the Colorado was dammed) • The area that is now 200 Academy was a park and picnic grounds for any number of events in early Austin History (Yes, lots of music and dancing back then as well!) Fairview Park has been a lovely, close in, urban neighborhood for the past 125 years. We had public transportation in the form of horse drawn, and then electric trolleys running right down Academy from the 1880's to the 1920's, and it was a boon to us all. Charles Newning developed the roadways that are still used today, and well loved by all that use them. • "The Terrace", the hotel complex that originally developed the 200 Academy property in 1965, got international recognition as an innovator in creating parking solutions for the newly developing "Motor Court" culture. (this was in 1960) When they built "The Terrace Convention Center", it was opened as a "Private Club" (much in the same way that the bar at the Saint Cecelia at 112 Academy operates.) Although the Terrace Motor Court hosted events with as many as 2000 people, there is no historical evidence that it ever disrupted the neighborhood. I believe this may be partially because the hotel complex spread over 15 acres at that point, so many if not all of the convention goers were actually staying at the Motor Court, so they could leave their cars in front of their cabin and walk down the well-manicured paths to the Convention Center and convene. The Terrace Convention Center also annually hosted the precursor to the Texas Book Festival, which was called the "Texas Writer's Round-up" In Summary: Every developer who owned the 200 Academy property up to the era of the "Opry House" was able to design their development so that it enhanced the livability and mobility of the neighborhood and city. The only difference in "The Opry House" from every other usage was its pure reliance on alcohol sales during musical events, the resulting density of use during those business hours, and the behavior of the patrons as they were released into the world…. again, and again. It was the first time that the use of the property hurt, instead of helped, the area surrounding it. For many years after the Opry House was forced to close because of its incompatibility with the neighborhood, it was used as a business park. That was very acceptable, it generated money and jobs, and the constant comings and goings were peaceful. Historically, the usage of the property at 200 Academy as a music venue, as legendary as it was, was very short lived. Maybe 16 years tops, and most of those years it was used very minimally because of the problems caused within the neighborhood, and the negotiated solutions. The property has been a great neighbor to us for the last 25 years. It has been sort of empty lately, but that has purely been the choice of the current owner. "The Austin Opry House" is a fine, well-loved brand, but, like "The Soap Creek Saloon", and "Austin City Limits", if it was moved to a more appropriate location, it could become something that hews more closely to the developers expectations and dreams. Bring on the development, bring us public transportation, housing, local markets, but PLEASE do not bring the same thing in that has proven time and again to be disruptive within the confines of a lovely, yet ever evolving historic neighborhood. COMPATIBILITY OF USES PROPOSED Issues with the Staff Recommendations: • Staff comment: “Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties.”  This is not a valid statement as the properties that were rezoned within the NCCD had frontage and access on S. Congress which is a major arterial. • Staff comment: “The proposed zoning should promote consistency and orderly planning; Zoning should promote a transition between adjacent and nearby zoning districts, land uses, and development intensities.” The neighborhood believes that the current allowed used on the tracts for Office and Multi- family promote orderly and consistent planning and not the addition of a music venue and high turnover restaurant. • Staff Comment: “Tract 3’s current zoning is most closely aligned with the MF-2 zoning district. Allowing for the equivalent of MF-3 zoning on this tract would still be compatible with single- family uses and provide a transition in land use and development intensity from S. Congress to Melissa Lane.” The neighborhood believes that MF-2 is a more compatible use in this transition to SF-3. • TIA staff memo recommendation supporting the proposed uses. Neighborhood is concerned with the access to Academy Drive (66’ ROW) and Melissa Lane (50’ ROW). Both have 30’ of pavement and are classified as Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) 1 streets. Level 1 streets are the lowest category and referred to as Local streets. In the Transportation Criteria Manual (TCM) these streets are categorized as neighborhood collector and local residential. The high intensity uses of a 17,000 s.f. music venue and high turnover restaurant are not appropriate off of a Neighborhood Collector street. TIA AND TRAFFIC/PARKING CONCERNS TIA: The applicant’s TIA states the following: WGI collected 24-hour, bi-directional tube counts on Le Grande Avenue, Newning Avenue and Melissa Avenue on Tuesday, July 21, 2020. Tube counts on Academy Drive were collected on Tuesday, March 23, 2021. Since these tube counts were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic, an adjustment was made in order to account for the atypical/low volumes. The counts made in July 2020 were not only during a pandemic, it was also while Academy Drive at S. Congress was closed and had been closed for almost 2 years. Cut through traffic has built over the years for those cutting between S. Congress and Riverside Dr. via Newning/Le Grande/Hillside/Academy. Although counts were then taken on March 23, 2021, Academy was open but continued construction at the intersection with S. Congress, along with its 2-year closure had greatly reduced cut-through traffic along with the pandemic continuing to affect traffic. • There does not appear to be an increased adjustment for the Bigger issue of the road closure • There were no updated 2021 tubes counts at Le Grande location. • The TIA assumes a music venue of 10,000 s.f. We have been told by applicant that they are at S. Congress. proposing a 17,000 venue. See ATTACHMENT 1 - City of Austin Staff TIA Memo for neighborhood item concerns provided in YELLOW HIGHLIGHT and comments in RED. TRAFFIC/PARKING CONCERNS: • Even with the proposed solution of a huge underground parking lot in the middle of a natural historic drainage, there will be many people who will simply want to eliminate the hassle (and cost) of the parking garage and park nearby on the neighboring streets. The only solutions that applicant was able to offer to that problem is that we should change the parking regulations within the neighborhood, outside of their development. They want to make Academy, between Congress and the entrance to the Opry House a "No Parking" street, and recommended that everyone that is affected outside of their development to ask the city to make their streets into "neighborhood parking only" zones. As we understand, that sort of parking regulation often causes more problems than it solves. • The traffic generated by a 17,000 s.f. music venue that all leave and come at the same time will generate unacceptable problems for this residential neighborhood. ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS Although environment compliance is not detailed and required until the Site Development Permit phase the following concerns are provided: 1. There is a natural creek across from my house (at 1211 ravine dr). I believe it's historical name was "Swisher Branch". It used to extend all the way north to it's confluence with Bouldin Creek. In 1964, when the "Terrace Convention Center" and its parking lot were built (at 200 Academy), they diverted the creek into a storm drainage pipe, and then they paved over the creek and put up a parking lot. (not to mention the small valley on either side of the creek, lined with ancient trees that had been used for years as a public picnic and gathering space, since Fairview Park was developed in 1886) The natural creek still exists across from my house at 1211 Ravine Dr., and it exists right beyond the lower (northern) extremity of the property at 200 Academy. There is a lovely little canyon down there where the piped creek dumps back into the natural waterway, about 100 yards or so before it's confluence with Bouldin Creek. There are known springs all throughout this area of our neighborhood. Nowadays, with modern zoning and environmental standards, you could never pave over an existing creek of this size in Austin. The developers seem to be unaware of the creek's existence. I believe their plans involve putting an underground parking lot right where the natural waterway used to flow. All of us need to understand the environmental impact of what they want to do before any plans are finalized. I would prefer for them to re-naturalize the waterway and use it as a green/commons/ park/ hike and bike area space to allow for a proper amount of pervious cover for the density of development that they're proposing.

The 200 Academy TIA and all amendments thereto are collectively referred to herein as the “TIA”. The proposed 200 Academy development is located on the northwest corner of Academy Drive and Melissa Lane in Austin, shown in Figure 1 below. The proposed project is anticipated to be completed by 2023 and would consist of 60,000 square feet of General Office, 4,000 square feet of Shopping Center, 8,000 square feet of High- Turnover Restaurant, 120 dwelling units of Multi-Family (Low-Rise) housing, 4,000 square feet Museum, and a 10,000 square feet Music Venue. SHOULD BE 17,000 S.F. A Neighborhood Traffic Analysis, prepared by WGI Engineering, was also required for this site and can be found in Appendix A. Below is a summary of our review findings and recommendations: 1. The applicant shall design and construct the improvements identified in Table 2b below and in Figure 2 prior to issuance of a  temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) or certificate of occupancy (CO) at the time of the first site development permit. Note: Cost estimates should not be assumed to represent the maximum dollar value of improvements the applicant may be required to construct. 2. A fee-in-lieu contribution to the City of Austin shall be made for the improvements identified in Table 2a, totaling $5,000, prior to issuance of the first site development permit. 3. The applicant shall provide an electronic copy of the final, updated version of the TIA report, including all supplemental documents, before 3rd reading.  4. City of Austin staff reserves the right to reassign any or all the funding to one or more of the improvements identified in the TIA. 5. The findings and recommendations of this TIA memorandum remain valid until five (5) years from the date of the traffic counts in the TIA or the date of this memo, whichever comes first, after which a revised TIA or addendum may be required. 6. The findings and recommendations of the TIA included in this memo are based on the land use, intensity, associated traffic information and analyses and phasing of the development considered in the TIA. Should any of these assumptions change, the applicant may need to complete a new TIA, or update the TIA as required by code at the time of site plan application. 7. Street Impact Fee Ordinances 20201220-061 [https://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=352887] and 20201210- 062 been [https://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=352739] have adopted by City Council and are effective as of December 21, 2020. The City shall start collecting street impact fees with all building permits issued on or after June 21, 2022. For more information visit [austintexas.gov/streetimpactfee]. the Street Impact please Fee website Figure 1: Site Location Page 2 of 7  Figure 2: Transportation Mitigation Locations Assumptions: 1. The TIA assumes that the development will be completed by 2023. 2. The project will have two access points: the primary driveway will exist along Academy Drive across from Ravine Drive and will serve all land uses. A second driveway will exist on Melissa Lane just north of the intersection with Le Grande Avenue that will provide access to the residential units only and will not have any parking provided for other land uses. 3. Based on TxDOT Traffic Count Database System (TCDS), a 2% annual growth rate was assumed to account for the increase in background traffic. 4. Various growth factors were calculated to account for COVID-19 traffic conditions. WHERE IS THE INCREASE ADJUSTMENT FOR COVID AND WHERE IS THE INCREASE ADJUSTMENT FOR CLOSURE OF ACADEMY DRIVE AT S. CONGRESS? 5. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures would reduce vehicle trips by 30%. A robust TDM plan will be submitted at the time of first site plan. 6. Listed below are the background projects that were assumed to contribute trips to surrounding roadway network in addition to forecasted site traffic: a. The Magdalena Hotel: SP-2015-0345CT(R1) b. 425 Riverside PUD: SP-2017-0494C 7. It should be noted that during this review, Capital Metro’s Project Connect Plan was adopted and the design of all the rail lines are currently in progress. The design of Project Connect, particularly the Orange Line, might potentially affect traffic operations along South Congress Avenue and at Academy Drive. This may affect the operational assumptions contained in this TIA. ATD may require additional analysis at time of site plan if Project Connect’s plans become more refined and alter traffic patterns along South Congress at the Academy Drive intersection. Page 3 of 7 8. At the time of first site plan, the following must be submitted for ATD’s review and approval: a TDM plan, a traffic control plan for the music venue, the location of on- site TNC pick-up/drop- off, driveway design at Academy Drive that includes vehicle and truck turning templates, the location of for loading/unloading activities, and a final internal circulation design. Proposed Conditions: Trip Generation and Land Use Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (10th Edition), the development will generate approximately 3,933 unadjusted average daily vehicles trips (ADT) at full build out. ITE Trip Generation Manual (10th Edition) does not capture the trip generation for music venue and museum as land uses, therefore, local data was used for these land uses. Due the significant number of vehicle trips and the anticipated traffic load on the roadway network, the applicant has committed to a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan to reduce their site vehicle trips by 30%. Table 1 shows the adjusted trip generation after existing trips and TDM reductions.

In the TDM plan, the applicant has identified several measures that could be incorporated with the site to achieve the targeted vehicle trip reduction. The applicant identified the following key TDM measures to reach the reduction target: • Transit Elements (up to 7%) • Pedestrian Access and Connectivity (5%) • Bicycle Access and Connectivity (5%) • Bicycle Parking (0.5%) • Showers & Lockers (0.5%) • Unbundled Parking (6%) Limit Parking Supply (6%) • • TDM Coordinator (1%) • TMA Membership (3%) The applicant has the flexibility to pick and choose other relevant TDM measures at the time of site plan.

The 200 Academy TIA and all amendments thereto are collectively referred to herein as the “TIA”. The proposed 200 Academy development is located on the northwest corner of Academy Drive and Melissa Lane in Austin, shown in Figure 1 below. The proposed project is anticipated to be completed by 2023 and would consist of 60,000 square feet of General Office, 4,000 square feet of Shopping Center, 8,000 square feet of High- Turnover Restaurant, 120 dwelling units of Multi-Family (Low-Rise) housing, 4,000 square feet Museum, and a 10,000 square feet Music Venue. A Neighborhood Traffic Analysis, prepared by WGI Engineering, was also required for this site and can be found in Appendix A. Below is a summary of our review findings and recommendations: 1. The applicant and shall design identified in Table 2b below and in Figure 2 prior to issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) or certificate of occupancy (CO) at the time of the first site development permit. Note: Cost estimates should not be assumed to represent the maximum dollar value of improvements the applicant may be required to construct. construct the improvements 2. A fee-in-lieu contribution to the City of Austin shall be made for the improvements identified in Table 2a, totaling $5,000, prior to issuance of the first site development permit. 3. The applicant shall provide an electronic copy of the final, updated version of the TIA report, including all supplemental documents, before 3rd reading.  4. City of Austin staff reserves the right to reassign any or all the funding to one or more of the improvements identified in the TIA. 6. 5. The findings and recommendations of this TIA memorandum remain valid until five (5) years from the date of the traffic counts in the TIA or the date of this memo, whichever comes first, after which a revised TIA or addendum may be required. The findings and recommendations of the TIA included in this memo are based on the land use, intensity, associated traffic information and analyses and phasing of the development considered in the TIA. Should any of these assumptions change, the applicant may need to complete a new TIA, or update the TIA as required by code at the time of site plan application. 7. Street Impact Fee Ordinances 20201220-061 [https://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=352887] and 20201210- been 062 [https://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=352739] have adopted by City Council and are effective as of December 21, 2020. The City shall start collecting street impact fees with all building permits issued on or after June 21, 2022. For more Fee website visit [austintexas.gov/streetimpactfee]. information please the Street Impact Figure 1: Site Location Page 2 of 7  Figure 2: Transportation Mitigation Locations Assumptions: 1. The TIA assumes that the development will be completed by 2023. 2. The project will have two access points: the primary driveway will exist along Academy Drive across from Ravine Drive and will serve all land uses. A second driveway will exist on Melissa Lane just north of the intersection with Le Grande Avenue that will provide access to the residential units only and will not have any parking provided for other land uses. 3. Based on TxDOT Traffic Count Database System (TCDS), a 2% annual growth rate was assumed to account for the increase in background traffic. 4. Various growth factors were calculated to account for COVID-19 traffic conditions. 5. Transportation Demand Management (TDM) measures would reduce vehicle trips by 30%. A robust TDM plan will be submitted at the time of first site plan. 6. Listed below are the background projects that were assumed to contribute trips to surrounding roadway network in addition to forecasted site traffic: a. The Magdalena Hotel: SP-2015-0345CT(R1) b. 425 Riverside PUD: SP-2017-0494C 7. It should be noted that during this review, Capital Metro’s Project Connect Plan was adopted and the design of all the rail lines are currently in progress. The design of Project Connect, particularly the Orange Line, might potentially affect traffic operations along South Congress Avenue and at Academy Drive. This may affect the operational assumptions contained in this TIA. ATD may require additional analysis at time of site plan if Project Connect’s plans become more refined and alter traffic patterns along South Congress at the Academy Drive intersection. Page 3 of 7  8. At the time of first site plan, the following must be submitted for ATD’s review and approval: a TDM plan, a traffic control plan for the music venue, the location of on- site TNC pick-up/drop- off, driveway design at Academy Drive that includes vehicle and truck turning templates, the location of for loading/unloading activities, and a final internal circulation design. Proposed Conditions: Trip Generation and Land Use Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (10th Edition), the development will generate approximately 3,933 unadjusted average daily vehicles trips (ADT) at full build out. ITE Trip Generation Manual (10th Edition) does not capture the trip generation for music venue and museum as land uses, therefore, local data was used for these land uses. Due the significant number of vehicle trips and the anticipated traffic load on the roadway network, the applicant has committed to a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan to reduce their site vehicle trips by 30%. Table 1 shows the adjusted trip generation after existing trips and TDM reductions.

In the TDM plan, the applicant has identified several measures that could be incorporated with the site to achieve the targeted vehicle trip reduction. The applicant identified the following key TDM measures to reach the reduction target: • Transit Elements (up to 7%) • Pedestrian Access and Connectivity (5%) • Bicycle Access and Connectivity (5%) • Bicycle Parking (0.5%) • Showers & Lockers (0.5%) • Unbundled Parking (6%) • Limit Parking Supply (6%) • TDM Coordinator (1%) • TMA Membership (3%) The applicant has the flexibility to pick and choose other relevant TDM measures at the time of site plan.

WGI has collected 24-hour, bi-directional tube counts Le Grande Avenue west of Hillside Avenue  Academy Drive between Music Lane and Ravine Drive   Newning Avenue between Le Grande Avenue and East Riverside Drive  Melissa Avenue between Le Grande Avenue and Bonniview Street We have also estimated trip generation per the provided site plan and land uses included in the proposed development project. Finally, these potential trips are distributed to the roadway network based on volumes obtained in the data collection.   DATA COLLECTION WGI collected 24-hour, bi-directional tube counts on Le Grande Avenue, Newning Avenue and Melissa Avenue on Tuesday, July 21, 2020. Tube counts on Academy Drive were collected on Tuesday, March 23, 2021. Since these tube counts were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic, an adjustment was made in order to account for the atypical/low volumes. This methodology was suggested by the Austin Transportation Department.  AM Peak Hour: Tube Count / (1-65%)  PM Peak Hour: Tube Count / (1-50%)  Daily: Tube Count / (1-57.5%) The count data are included as Attachment 1 and are summarized in Table 1 the four roadways. Attachment 2 provides a concept plan for the project. Melissa Avenue currently serves zero driveways between Le Grande Avenue and Academy Drive and has 30 feet of pavement. Melissa Lane has two unstriped lanes with curb and gutter, no sidewalk on the east and west side. Academy Drive provides a signalized access from South Congress with a pavement width of approximately 35 feet; however only westbound left-turn movements are allowed for vehicles turning from Academy Drive. Academy Drive has two unstriped lanes, sidewalk gaps on the north and south side. Le Grande Avenue west of Hillside Avenue is a small neighborhood roadway serving three single-family home driveways and connects Hillside Avenue to Melissa Avenue. Newning Avenue provides right-in, right-out access to East Riverside Drive.   TABLE 1: DATA COLLECTION SUMMARY Time Direction Le Grande Avenue Newning Avenue Melissa Avenue Academy Drive Volume Time Volume Time Volume Time Volume Time Daily1 EB/NB WB/SB 132 144 - - 1087 958 - - 47 85 - - 1198 1228 - - Letter | Spearhead Properties, LLC | 200 Academy NTA | May 7, 2021 | Page 1 of 4      TABLE 1: DATA COLLECTION SUMMARY Time Direction Le Grande Avenue Newning Avenue Melissa Avenue Academy Drive Volume Time Volume Time Volume Time Volume Time AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour EB/NB WB/SB EB/NB WB/SB 9 14 3 5 8:00 – 9:00 AM 5:00 – 6:00 PM 50 47 43 56 7:00 – 8:00 AM 5:00 – 6:00 PM 2 5 2 2 8:00 – 9:00 AM 4:00 – 5:00 PM 103 63 58 82 8:00 – 9:00 AM 4:00 – 5:00 PM Notes: 1. Source: WGI, 2020. These traffic counts were adjusted by a City‐approved factor as they were collected during the COVID‐19 pandemic.  PROJECT TRIP GENERATION   The project would include approximately 60,000 square feet of office space, 4,000 square feet of retail, 8,000 square feet of restaurant space, 120 dwelling units of multifamily housing, a 4,000 square foot museum and a 10,000 square foot music venue. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (10th Edition) was used to develop trip generation estimates for the proposed use. A 54,945 square-foot office space building currently exists on the Project site location. This existing land use amounts to 593 daily trips, with 78 occurring during the AM peak hour and 64 occurring during the PM peak hour. Trip generation estimates are summarized below in Table 3.

It should be noted that the Melissa Lane access will be for residents only; all other patrons of the Project site will enter and exit via the Academy Drive access. Table 4 shows the distribution to each of the two roads during the three time periods for both scenarios. These percentages were derived by calculating the average of AM entering and exiting volumes and PM entering and exiting volumes at the site driveway on Melissa Lane. It should be noted that some residential traffic is anticipated to enter and exit via Academy Drive. This is reflected in the trip distribution shown in Table 4. Attachment 3 provides a general map of the area. Table 5 shows the change in traffic along Melissa Lane by comparing the existing traffic to the addition of the proposed site traffic. To be conservative, all residential traffic has been assumed to be entering and exiting via Melissa Lane in order to depict the highest traffic volume anticipated on Melissa Lane.

According to Section 25-6-116 of the Land Development Code, streets which have pavement width between 30 feet and 39 feet are considered to be operating at an undesirable traffic level if the average daily traffic volume for such roadways exceeds 1,800 vehicles per day. Melissa Lane is currently operating at a desirable level and will continue to do so with the addition of the proposed site traffic. Attachments 4A, 4B, and 4C show the existing counts and trip distribution for Academy Drive, Melissa Lane, Le Grande Avenue and Newning Avenue for daily trips and during the AM and PM peak hours.
