ZONING CHANGE REVIEW SHEET DISTRICT: 1 CASE: C14-2020-0062 Webberville ZONING FROM: SF-3-NP TO: SF-6-NP ADDRESS: 1907 Webberville Road SITE AREA: 11.643 Acres PROPERTY OWNERS/APPLICANT: Webberville Holdings, LLC (Elisa Jiang and Haung Lung Wang) CASE MANAGER: Heather Chaffin (512-974-2122, heather.chaffin@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Applicant’s request of SF-6-NP. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 3. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 28, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be determined ORDINANCE NUMBER: AGENT: Storybuilt (Jarred Corbell) 1 of 8B-08 C14-2020-0062 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located between Webberville Road and Tannehill Lane, approximately 500 feet north of Samuel Huston Avenue. The property is zoned SF-3-NP and is undeveloped. Immediately to the south is land zoned MF-3-NP and SF-3-NP. Both areas are developed with single family residential land uses. Immediately to the north is SF-3-NP that is developed with religious assembly land use. Across Webberville Road to the west is primarily property zoned SF-3-NP that is developed with single family land uses—the area also includes small areas of SF-4A-NP and SF-6-NP with higher density residential uses. Across Tannehill Lane to the east is property zoned MF-2-CO-NP that is developed with religious assembly land use. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the requested SF-6-NP. The property has significant topographic constraints, with elevations ranging from 520 feet to 560 feet. The current SF-3-NP zoning and this topography makes it difficult to develop with consistently and reasonably sized buildable lots. Under SF-3-NP zoning, development of this site would require numerous flag lots and/or require an interior street which requires more impervious cover. SF-6-NP is the most restrictive zoning category that would allow the units to be developed in a clustered manner. Clustered residential units will allow development around the existing topography and reduce the level of impervious cover that would be needed to construct single family residential access. BASIS FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Townhouse and condominium residence (SF-6) district is the designation for a moderate density single family, duplex, two-family, townhouse, and condominium use that is not subject to the spacing and location requirements for townhouse and condominium use in an SF-5 district. An SF-6 district designation may be applied to a use in an area with …

HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: May 18, 2020: TO DENY THE REMOVAL OF HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION (H-) FROM TRACT 2 (7-0). [Myer- 1st, Little- 2nd; Reed, Jacob, Koch, Papavasiliou- Absent] PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: July 28, 2020: June 23, 2020: To grant postponement to July 28, 2020 as requested by Applicant, on consent. May 26, 2020: To grant postponement to June 23, 2020 as requested by Neighborhood, on consent. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 30, 2020: June 4, 2020: To grant postponement to July 30, 2020 as requested by Staff, on consent. ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 8B-09 C14-2019-0108 2 ISSUES: The Applicant proposes removing the historic landmark designation (H-) from the rear of the property (Tract 2 only) and adjusting the boundary of the MF-4 area and the GO area. This would allow redevelopment of Tract 2. No change to the historic landmark designation is proposed on Tract 1, where the Parker House building is located. No changes to the Parker House structure are proposed. The Applicant previously requested higher intensity-mixed use zoning on the property and has amended the request twice to reduce the intensity of the zoning requested. The current amendment to the rezoning is a result of additional research by the Applicant into the West Campus/University Neighborhood Overlay (UNO). The Applicant has determined that their land use and redevelopment goals can be achieved under UNO if the H- designation is removed from Tract 2. Staff supports the current rezoning request with conditions. The Applicant proposes that the existing GO-H-NP zoning on Tract 1 extend 10 feet from the rear of the Parker House structure, and MF-4-NP for Tract 2. Staff recommends a 15-foot setback. Currently the GO- approximately 24 feet from the rear of the Parker House structure. The Historic Landmark Commission voted 7-0 to deny the request to remove the H- …

Adjacent to the north is a tract zoned CS-V, to the east is South 1st Street and across South 1st Street are tracts zoned MF-3-NP and LR-CO-NP. Adjacent to the south is a tract zoned MF-3 and to the west is SF-3 zoning. This property is subject to an existing Ordinance (20070405-043) which limits the number of trips per day, caps 1 of 12B-10 C14-2020-0067 2 development on the property to 40 feet and prohibits a set of uses. The applicant is requesting to remove the trip limitations and building height restriction but carry over the existing list of prohibited uses. Those uses include the following: Adult-oriented businesses Automotive rentals Automotive repair services Automotive sales Automotive washing (of any kind) BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Bail bond services Commercial blood plasma center Convenience storage Pawn shop services Vehicle storage 1. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. The applicant is requesting to rezone from CS-CO to CS-MU-V-CO. This property is in between CS-V and MF-3 zoned tracts. Allowing for a mix of uses on this site would help in transition between zoning districts. Additionally, this property is located on a Core Transit Corridor as defined by the current City Land Development Code specifically designated to allow for the Vertical Mixed Use Overlay District. Rezoning this property to CS-MU-V-CO would not be inconsistent with the existing land use pattern.

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 3. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 28, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be determined ORDINANCE NUMBER: AGENT: Alice Glasco Consulting (Alice Glasco) 1 of 8B-12 C14-2020-0064 2 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located at the southeast corner of IH 35 and US 290. The rezoning tract is located on a vacant parcel adjacent to a small shopping center. The shopping center includes a mix of retail and restaurant uses; the whole property, including the rezoning tract, is zoned CS-MU-NP. To the east of the property is a multifamily complex zoned MF-4-NP. Across Clayton Lane to the south is property zoned CS-1-MU-NP that is developed with a hotel that contains a cocktail lounge. In the surrounding area southeast of IH 35 and US 290, other nearby zoning categories include CS-MU-NP and GR-MU-CO-NP. The properties on the frontage roads are used for a mix of commercial and religious assembly uses; the properties further from the highways are developed with multifamily land use. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The Applicant is requesting the rezoning to allow development of 269 multifamily units with 27 of those units to be certified affordable units. As a VMU project, the Applicant is also proposing approximately 3,000 square feet of ground floor commercial space. Staff supports the request to add the V- designation because vertical mixed use (VMU) allows greater residential density while requiring affordable units. Historically, VMU has been located on core transit corridors; neither IH 35 nor US 290 are designated as such, but transit is available immediately adjacent to the rezoning tract on Clayton Lane. A mixed use development at this site will provide a transition from the commercial uses along IH 35 and US 290 and the multifamily properties to the east and southeast. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. 2. Zoning should promote clearly-identified community goals, such as creating employment opportunities …

PROPERTY OWNER: Terrance Mountain Investors I LLC (Frank Trabold) AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Mark Graham (512-974-3574, mark.graham@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff’s recommendation is to grant downtown mixed use – conditional overlay (DMU-CO) combining district zoning with the conditional overlay limiting building height to 60 feet. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 28, 2020 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: August 27, 2020 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The applicant requests rezoning from general commercial services (CS) to downtown mixed use – conditional overlay (DMU-CO) combining district zoning. The conditional overlay would limit building height to sixty feet per the Downtown Area Plan. The subject property is 0.38 acre (16,500 square foot) tract on the south side of West 12th Street, between North Lamar Boulevard and Shoal Creek Boulevard. The tract is about 240 feet east of North Lamar and 100 feet west of Shoal Creek Boulevard, and the east property line of the subject property is the Shoal Creek greenbelt. 1 of 12B-14 C14-2020-0052 2 The existing one-story building is a sandwich shop sited about 12 feet from West 12th Street with parking west of the building. Demolition of the building is proposed. The FEMA Floodplain extends along West 12th Street from the intersection with Shoal Creek west to about 150 feet from Baylor Street. In other words, the entire property is within the Floodplain. The proposed use of the parcel is listed as mixed use on the zoning application. Downtown Austin Plan The subject property is within the Downtown Austin Plan – Market / Lamar District boundaries adopted by the City Council on December 8, 2011. That plan produced a recommended rezoning map with proposed building heights limits. The recommendations were not implemented by rezoning all of the affected properties. Instead, they guide Staff recommendations for rezoning and for the conditional overlay recommendation on building height limits. The proposed zoning for the subject parcel in the DAP is DMU-60. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. The Applicant describes their proposed use as “mixed use” which is …

(Taylor Bowen) AGENT: Drenner Group, PC (Amanda Swor) CASE MANAGER: Kate Clark (512-974-1237, kate.clark@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends amending the Restrictive Covenants to increase the total number of units allowed on site to 520 units and removing the ownership requirements. For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: July 28, 2020 Scheduled for Planning Commission CITY COUNCIL ACTION: August 27, 2020 Planned to be Scheduled for City Council RESTRICTIVE COVENANT AMENDMENT RECORDING NUMBER: ISSUES None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: This property is approximately 10.48 acres and currently developed with a mixed-use project containing multifamily residential and commercial uses. It was rezoned to ERC with the East Riverside Neighborhood Plan Rezoning Case in 2006 and is surrounded by other properties within the ERC. This rezoning case included a public Restrictive Covenant (RC Recording No. 2007039123) which was later amended in 2011 (RC Recording No. 2011186530), please see Exhibit B: Original Restrictive Covenants. The Applicant’s request is to modify the ownership B-151 of 14 C14-05-0112(RCA2) 2 requirement from the first RC to remove the requirement that a minimum of 45 residential units be for sale and to increase the maximum number of residential units allowed on the property from 450 units to 520 units from the amended RC. No other changes are proposed at this time. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Applicant’s proposed changes to the Restrictive Covenants to allow for increased density and removal of ownership requirements. This is an existing mixed-use development. Currently the Applicant is proposing all new construction in an undeveloped area of the property with no increased entitlements other than the density. The Applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing Lady Bird Boardwalk Trail access. Allowing additional units for this development would increase density in an area that is already developed without replacing any existing units.

SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit. The site plan will comply with all requirements of the Land Development Code prior to its release. SUMMARY STAFF COMMENT ON SITE PLAN: The applicant proposes a 4,860 square foot brewery and a 1,180 square foot tap room for on-site sale and consumption. The Light Manufacturing Use permits beer or ale produced on-site to be sold for on-site consumption. Because the brewery is within 540 of single family uses, it is a conditional use according to Land Development Code Section 25-2- 865(B)(2). Therefore, Land Use Commission review and approval is required. The site is already developed. No construction will occur with this site plan approval. Two letters of support were received and are included within the back-up materials. One from OS St. Elmo, LLC and one from the South Congress Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team.

Total gross floor area (excluding below grade parking) is 104,723 square feet, with a total of 249 vehicle parking spaces (including 12 ADA spaces) and 72 bicycle spaces. The restaurant consists of 4,559 square feet and the ground floor retail would be 3,588 square feet. The site will have a single driveway accessing San Marcos Street, with trash and loading in the alley to the north. Public sidewalk improvements are proposed along 7th Street and along San Marcos and public alley improvements are proposed to the north of the building. One variance from compatibility setback requirements is being requested. DESCRIPTION OF VARIANCE: 1) From 25 feet to 20 feet for the north setback. [LDC § 25-2-1063] SUMMARY STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The parcel to the north is separated from the subject site by a 20 foot wide public alley. That parcel is developed with an historic use (the French Legation) and is within the SF-3-H-HD-NP (Family Residence – Historic – Historic District - Neighborhood Plan) Zone. Improvements are proposed to the alley, within the public right of way. At the southern edge of the alley, the project includes new paving to serve a proposed loading zone. While the building wall is placed at 25 feet from the residentially zoned property to the north, in conformance with the compatibility setbacks, the new on-site paving for loading access and trash collection wall require a variance for construction beginning 20 feet south of those parcels. No written objections to the proposed variance have been received. The owner of the parcel to the north has submitted written comments in general support of the project. The Plaza Saltillo TOD Regulating Plan establishes the majority …

The applicant is proposing one residential flag lot with this application for Lot 2. The applicant has obtained approval from the Fire Department to verify accessibility for emergency responders, approval from the Austin Water Utility, Austin Energy, and the City Arborist to verify there is adequate room for the required utilities and enhanced tree protection on the site.

It should also be noted that there are no known deed restrictions on the site, and a note has been added that requires all addresses for residential lots utilizing a flag lot design must be displayed at their closest point of access to a public street for emergency responders. Because the application meets the flag lot criteria as required by the Land Development Code, the Staff recommends approval of the variance. For additional information on the variance request see the accompanied memo and exhibits. DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The request is for the approval of the Resubdivision of Lot 3, Less West 53 feet thereof, Block 2, Magnolia Addition composed of two lots on 0.4683 acres. The applicant is proposing to resubdivide a portion of a lot into a two lot subdivision for residential uses.

Oltorf Street and Wickersham Lane and is surrounded on all sides with a base zoning of MF-2. In 2013 this property was rezoned from MF-2 to GR-MU-CO. The conditional overlay on the property prohibited a list of land uses and limited the density of the property to 36 residential units per acre, see Exhibit D: Ordinance No. 20130214-066. The applicant is requesting to rezone to GR-MU-CO to remove Part 2 (A) of the existing ordinance to allow for drive-in service as an accessory use to commercial uses. The current ordinance prohibits the following uses which will be carried over if the rezoning request is granted: Automotive repair services Automotive sales Commercial off-street parking Community recreation (public) Congregate living Drop-off recycling collection facility Exterminating services Hospital services-general Hotel-motel BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Indoor sports and recreation Off-site accessory parking Outdoor entertainment Pawn shop services Private primary educational services Private secondary educational services Residential treatment Service station Theater 1.

Guerra <>; Scooter Cheatham <> Subject: Case Number: C14-2020-0064 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Chaffin, The Windsor Park Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (WPNPCT) met Monday, July 20, 2020, to review and discuss its recommendation on Case Number: C14-2020-0064. The proposed project is located at 6007 N IH 35 SVRD NB (former Texas Land & Cattle Restaurant) within the boundaries of the Windsor Park Neighborhood Planning Area. The WPNPCT unanimously supports the zoning request of CS-MU-V-NP to allow approximately 269 multi-family units and approximately 3,000 square feet of general retail with the provision that 10% of the units are affordable at 60% MFI in accordance with the Windsor Park VMU ordinance. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you, Rodney E. Ahart Windsor Park Neighborhood Plan Contact Team, Chair
July 24, 2020 RE: C14-2017-0010 - 4400 Nuckols Crossing Road Rezoning NPA-2016-0014.01 Plan Amendment - 4400 Nuckols Crossing Road Rezoning To Planning Commissioners and City Council Members, Based on updated information received at the 07/08/2020, 07/13/2020 and 07/22/2020 meetings with City Staff, Applicant, Austin Transportation Department, SE Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team and concerned neighbors, the Los Arboles Homeowners' Association OPPOSES rezoning 4400 Nuckols Crossing from SF-2-NP to MF-4-NP. Los Arboles consists of 314 single family homes with Viewpoint Dr as the entry into the neighborhood. Some of the considerations for opposition are listed below. 1. The proposed driveway to 4400 Nuckols Crossing will be only 150 ft from Viewpoint Dr on the east side of Nuckols Crossing and a driveway into Woodway Village Apartments on the west side of Nuckols Crossing. The accepted distance between driveways should be 500 ft. The Applicant has proposed a solution to the driveway problem by adding turn lanes in the right of way, possibly with vertical delineators in the middle of Nuckols Crossing. We believe this will cause a major hazard for vehicles turning in and out of Viewpoint Dr and the Woodway Village Apartments driveway and for through traffic on Nuckols Crossing. 3. Traffic on Nuckols Crossing is already 10 times the amount that this road is designed to ideally handle. Traffic counts taken in February 2020 indicate that existing vehicle trips is at 14,929. According to Section 25-6-116 of the Land Development Code, streets which have pavement width less than 30 feet are considered to be operating at an undesirable traffic level if the average daily traffic volume for such roadway exceeds 1,200 vehicles per day. Nuckols Crossing Road is currently operating at an undesirable level and will continue to do so with the addition of site traffic. These statistics, and the opinion that Nuckols Crossing is currently at an undesirable level, are taken directly from the Zoning Review Change Sheet provided by City Staff. The proposed development will add another 979 vehicle trips, an increase of over 13%. 4. The City has no plan to improve this section of Nuckols Crossing/E St Elmo. It is a narrow 2 lane road in very poor condition with no curbs, gutters, sidewalks or bike lanes, or even enough right of way to add them except in front of 4400 Nuckols Crossing. There is a very sharp curve with no sight lines where Nuckols …

Clark, Kate From: Sent: To: Subject: Hi, Tim Thomas Tuesday, July 28, 2020 9:50 AM Clark, Kate C14-2020-0056 1 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** I would like to add my support for removing the drive‐through conditional overlay for case C14‐2020‐0056 1. Currently the only walkable option for food in this area is the Chevron at Pleasant Valley and Oltorf. It is within walking distance of where Mike Ramos was killed by police. Even in the correspondence you have received so far it is clear that the entire point of opposing this change is to keep working class people away from the more affluent neighborhoods at the top of Oltorf and Wickersham. Neighborhoods where homes are fast approaching a million dollars. While I'm an avid supporter of active transportation and support getting rid of *all* drive throughs I do not support allowing home owners to prevent drive‐throughs in their neighborhoods and pushing them into poorer ones. I don't support their desire to, as one EROC Contact Team Member put it, "attract a clean business to our area". Structural racism in Austin is built upon these small conditional overlays. If you look at a 1 mile radius of this house you'll see that the Contact Team has littered every single undeveloped property with poison pills to prevent development in the form of conditional overlays. You have a chance to fight this structural racism and by saying no to the contact team.

ZONING CASE C14-2020-0056 WICKERSHAM IS DESIGNATED AS A HEALTHY STREET WICKERSHAM-OLTORF INTERSECTION There are bike lanes on both Wickersham and Oltorf. Wickersham is designated as a Heathy Street as part of the Country Club Creek Trail. Drive through exits on these streets will create dangerous situations for bike riders. MONTOPOLIS TO WICKERSHAM DISTANCE ON OLTORF WEST-BOUND CARS ON OLTORF ENCOUNTER NO CROSS STREETS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS FROM MONTOPOLIS TO WICKERSHAM, A DISTANCE OF OVER 1 MILE. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 45 M/HR. HIGH SPEED WEST-BOUND TRAFFIC ON OLTORF West-bound cars on Oltorf crest the hill east of Wickersham at 40 m/hr. This crest is 270 feet east of the Wickersham intersection. At this speed and distance, a west-bound driver has 4.7 seconds to react to a car entering Oltorf at the Wickersham intersection. This is the reason there are many accidents at this intersection. THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD The area around the Wickersham-Oltorf intersection is entirely residential, with condominiums and apartment complexes on all sides. The residents of the adjacent Monaco and Chamonix condominiums oppose drive- through services. The EROC Contact Team has voted to oppose this change. Drive- through services will disrupt the residential character of this area with increased traffic, noise, and lights. RECOMMENDATIONS • Retain the prohibition on drive-through services. • If the Planning Commission does recommend allowing drive- through services, do not allow high traffic volume services like fast food restaurants.

Planning Board, I am one of the owners of 1818 South Lakeshore Blvd., the condominium complex adjacent to this proposed project. I would like to go on record as opposing this request, specifically the portion related to removal of the deed restriction that addresses “for-sale units.” If you review the history of redevelopment of this property dating back to 2005, you will see that a significant amount of green space, trees and public access was removed in order to build the current AMLI buildings. A great amount of energy and time was spent in negotiations between the City, stakeholders, and adjacent property owners crafting the density bonus package and deed restrictions currently on this property. I understand there are housing demands, and the City is looking for increased density, however we should not give away the concept of homeownership for this goal. It was important 15 years ago and even more so now to make available “for sale units” in this area of the City. I am certain AMLI will decry opine that it does not fit into their business practices, or business model. This was their position in 2005 and significant bonuses were received by them at the time of redevelopment. I would ask that this Board and the City insist that AMLI live up to their obligations and that you deny their request. Sincerely , Stephen Tittle Clark, Kate From: Sent: To: Subject: Hi, Tim Thomas Tuesday, July 28, 2020 9:54 AM Clark, Kate C14-05-0112(RCA2) *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** I would like to add my enthusiastic support for removing the requirement for home ownership on this property and add additional rental units. The majority of the people who live in my neighborhood rent. While opportunities for home ownership sound good in theory, in practice they help to increase segregation the neighborhood. Due to historical structural racism, such as the way the GI Bill was handled, the majority of people with the generational wealth to purchase a home in this area are white, and so saying you prefer home ownership is implicitly saying you would prefer more white people in the neighborhood without having to say it explicitly. These additional rental units will provide additional housing for the people who need it most and I urge you to remove the conditional overlay.

Jason Lucio 5501 Maple Marsh Ct. Austin, TX 78744 512-694-9377 jasonlucio@gmail.com July 27, 2020 Conor Kenny, Chair Planning Commission Members Planning Commission City of Austin RE: Neighborhood Plan Amendment Case Number: NPA-2016-0014.01.SH Rezoning Case Number: C14-2017-0010.SH Project Location: 4400 Nuckols Crossing Dear Commission Kenny and Planning Commissioners: As a resident of Dove Springs and member of the Arbor Ridge Homeowners Association, roughly 0.9 miles south of the proposed development, I stand in opposition to the amendment to the Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan from SF-2 to MF-4, as well as the requested zoning change. I am a member of the SCNP Contact Team, a member of the Arbor Ridge Homeowners Association, and have attended the virtual community meetings with the applicant regarding this proposed development. The contact team has a history of supporting responsible development. This development is a project that I would normally support, but not in this specific location, as it is too dangerous. The entrance to the proposed development is on Nuckols Crossing, a substandard road, and is near a blind curve with quickly rising elevation. The proposed development is 100% low-income senior housing. Low-income residents are assumed to be low-income for life. They will need access to public transportation. However, without even sidewalks, the over half-mile trek to nearest public transportation is unacceptable and will put both pedestrian and driver lives at risk. Residents of this development will need to walk over a half-mile south to reach public transportation. The sidewalk starts several hundred feet to the south, and is on the opposite side of the street, with no pedestrian crossing, forcing residents to either jaywalk and dangerously cross traffic, or walk on an unimproved shoulder near a ditch. The other alternative will be to walk north over a half-mile, without a sidewalk, down a hill, around a blind curve, with thick brush on both sides. There are no street lights. We can assume that the low-income residents of the proposed development would use the new public health center planned for Dove Springs. However, there is no public transportation that travels down Nuckols Crossing, which means these senior low-income residents will need to walk over one mile, without access to a sidewalk for almost half a mile, in order to access public services, like the health center, recreation center, or library. The Austin Transportation Department traffic analysis, which has errors as to street width, does not take …
