Affordability Impact Statement Area Plan Process Amendment Case number: C20-2024-024 Initiated by: Resolution No. 20230309-016 Date: 3/19/2025 Proposed Regulation The proposed amendment would add a new section to Chapter 25-1 of the Land Development Code that specifies the amendment process for geographically focused land use plans that do not already have a process defined. The amendment would align with existing processes for plan amendments and provide clarity for property owners seeking to request changes. Land Use/Zoning Impacts on Housing Costs The proposed changes would have a neutral impact on housing costs. The amendment does not modify development entitlements or impose new regulatory requirements. The amendment is intended to prepare for the continued transition to new plan types, clarify the amendment process and criteria, provide a path for property owners to initiate changes, ensure adequate public notice, and ensure consistent processes. Impact on Development Cost The proposed changes would have a neutral impact on development costs. The amendment does not modify development entitlements or impose new regulatory requirements. However, by providing a defined path for property owners to request amendments, the proposal may reduce uncertainty and streamline processes, potentially lowering administrative burden. Impact on Affordable Housing The proposed changes would have a neutral impact on affordable housing. This ordinance amendment is procedural in nature and is not expected to have an immediate or direct impact on affordable housing. The long-term affordability effects will depend on how the amendment process is utilized and whether future changes support affordability goals. Other Policy Considerations None.

C20-2024-024 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2024-024 Area Plan Process Amendment Description: Amend City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to specify an amendment process for area plans, including station area vision plans, when the process is not already defined in another section of City code. Proposed Language: Consider an ordinance amending City Code Title 25 (Land Development) to establish area plans, including station area vision plans, regulations, and amendment process. Summary of proposed code amendment Amend Chapter 25-1 of the Land Development Code to add a new section that: • Specifies amendment process for geographically focused land use plans that do not • Provides cross-references to existing plan amendment processes. (Existing processes already have a process defined. would not be amended). The proposed process is generally based on the existing provisions of Chapter 25-1, Article 16 Neighborhood Plan Amendments. See Attachment A for a more detailed summary of the proposal. Background: Initiated by City Council Resolution No. 20230309-016. Over the years, the City has adopted multiple geographically focused land use plans, including Neighborhood Plans and other specialized land use plans such as the East Riverside Corridor Master Plan. Because these plans provide parcel-specific land use guidance, there has been a need to process parcel-specific amendments, including amendment requests from individual property owners as conditions change. In 2008, the City Council adopted an ordinance that created an amendment process for Neighborhood Plans, which is codified in Land Development Code Chapter 25-1, Article 16. As additional types of plans have been created, amendment processes have been codified elsewhere in the Land Development Code, including in Chapter 25-2. On December 12, 2022, City Council approved Resolution No. 20221208-036, which initiated planning for the North Lamar and South Congress Transit Center station areas. On March 9, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 20230309-016 accepting the ETOD Policy Plan framework and initiating code amendments necessary to support implementation of the ETOD Policy Plan. 1 As directed by Council, staff has been working to develop ETOD station area vision plans for the North Lamar and South Congress Transit Center station areas and will be bringing proposed plans forward for adoption consideration by April 24, 2025. These proposed plans will include parcel-specific character district-based future land use maps. The proposed code amendment would specify an amendment process for geographically focused land use plans that do not already have a process defined, including station area vision plans, to: …
Proposal: Amend 25-1 to add a new sections that: • define Area Plan; specifies an amendment process for long-range geographically focused land use plans that do not have specific amendment processes defined elsewhere in the land development code, including ETOD Station Area Vision Plans; and • references existing plan amendment processes; Goals/Considerations: specify an amendment process for Station Area Vision Plans; • provide clarity to property owners on how to request an amendment to the future land use designation on their property; allow additional types of land use plans to be adopted without needing to add new plan-specific amendment language to the code; encourage consistent amendment processes; clarify recommendation criteria for plan amendments. • • • • • ARTICLE XXX.

M E M O R A N D U M TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners FROM: Ana Villarreal, Planning Department DATE: March 19, 2025 SUBJECT: North Lamar Transit Center Station Area Vision Plan Adoption This memo provides a brief synopsis of the North Lamar Transit Center (NLTC) Station Area Vision Plan planning process. On December 12, 2022, City Council approved Resolution No. 20221208-036, which initiated planning for the North Lamar and South Congress Transit Center station areas. On March 9, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 20230309-016, accepting the ETOD Policy Plan framework and initiating work to deliver Equitable Transit-Oriented Development (ETOD) to Austinites based on this policy guidance. The station area planning engagement process kicked off with a series of workshops involving community members in the spring of 2023. A second round of engagement took place in the fall of 2023, and the third and final round occurred in the fall of 2024. During this planning process, staff has engaged the community through a number of methods, including: • SpeakUp Austin! website (https://www.speakupaustin.org/ETODstationareas) • On-line and paper surveys in English and Spanish • Social Media and E-mail newsletter • Courtesy notification postcard to residents and businesses • Recordings of the virtual events to the SpeakUp Austin! website • Outreach to community leaders through email • Paid focus groups • In-person and virtual community meetings The NLTC Station Area Vision Plan includes a review of existing conditions, as well as a vision of how the transit center and the station area could evolve to bring the benefits of ETOD to the community. In addition to the land use elements described in the Vision Plan, the City also has other tools to create more equitable places. These are described in the ETOD Policy Plan and the implementation section of the station area vision plan. Page 1 of 2 32 CPA-2025-0001 - North Lamar Transit Center Station Area Vision Plan1 of 2 Neighborhood Plan Amendments (NPAs) are proposed concurrently with the Station Area Vision Plans to ensure that the Plans’ vision of future land use in the station area does not conflict with any pre- existing neighborhood plan’s Future Land Use Map (FLUM). Community Meeting notifications for the NPAs were mailed out on February 17, 2025, for the meeting held on March 4, 2025.

Proposed Connectivity As previously noted, the NLTC Station Area has limited connectivity on several fronts. The NLTC Station Area Vision Plan seeks to address this through a series of improvements to the street network. A more robust, multi-modal street network with improved bicycle and pedestrian connections will allow community members and commuters to benefit from existing and future transit service more readily. Recommended Actions: Legend NLTC Site Boundary North Lamar Multimodal Transit Complex CapMetro Red Line Improved Existing Street Corridors Potential Future Street Connections Bike/Ped Connection Only Existing Parks L1 L2 L3 Street Level 1 Street Level 2 Street Level 3 1 2 3 4 5 Improve Powell Lane and extend it west across North Lamar Boulevard to US-183, creating a safe, multi-modal street connection to Anderson Square and the neighborhoods to the southwest. Powell Lane could act as the spine of the community that stitches together the fragmented quadrants of the station area. Powell Lane and Anderson Square shall have on-street parking and bicycle facilities. Provide generous sidewalks along Anderson Square between Anderson Lane and US-183, and continue them on to Watson Street, for safe pedestrian access to North Austin Optimist Sportsplex, and other community uses. Refer to the adopted Sidewalk Plan and Bicycle Plan. Improve the intersection of Morrow Drive and North Lamar Boulevard for better connectivity and safety for all modes. Enhance Morrow Drive as it transitions to Guadalupe Street and Northway Drive to reimagine it as a bike and pedestrian- friendly safe route to T.A. Brown Elementary School. Refer to the City of Austin Public Works Safe Routes to School report for recommended T.A. Brown Safe Routes. Introduce safe, comfortable, and convenient bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure to connect Northcrest Boulevard with Georgian Drive across US-183. Refer to the adopted Bicycle Plan. As redevelopment occurs, break up larger parcels with smaller multi-modal streets and crosswalks to have a more walkable, bikeable, and rollable neighborhood. Safe and pleasant accessibility choices that serve people of all ages and abilities are a critical need in the station area. 38 Equitable Transit-Oriented Development The station area is carved roughly into four quadrants, separated by North Lamar Boulevard and US-183. The first four recommendations seek to improve the connectivity across these physical barriers, forming a modified loop that stitches the four quadrants together. Beyond this primary improvement to circulation within the station area, further recommendations seek to increase secondary connections with neighborhood …
Sustainable and Resilient NLTC Rainwater Capture and Re-use: Rainwater and condensate captured from rooftops and green roofs for re-use in landscaping. Green Roofs Reduced building energy load by cooling roofs; delayed flow of stormwater by up to 65%; and rich habitats for plants, animals, and insects are all benefits. The vision for the NLTC is also formed around a sustainable and resilient design for the site. There is an opportunity to generate renewable energy, capture and re-use water on site, treat stormwater in bioswales (landscaping that captures and filters stormwater runoff), and provide shade and comfort to transit riders and visitors. The adjacent diagrams show a conceptual vision for some of these sustainable strategies that the project champions. Renewable Energy Generation Solar panel installations on rooftops can generate electricity for use in buildings and bus-charging bays. Green Alleyway This generous green space makes room for rainwater collection, stormwater biofiltration and detention, biodiverse plants and trees for a biophilic landscape and a shaded micro-climate oriented towards human comfort in this gathering area.

These policy tools are each described in more detail in the Policy Toolkit that is included in the ETOD Policy Plan. The tools are intended to align with land use regulations and investments, and to support the six ETOD Goals within the NLTC Station Area. Based on its characteristics, the station area has been identified as “Enhance” on the ETOD Typology, and implementation of these tools is intended to respond to that typology by aligning with land use regulations and investments, to minimize displacement of existing community members and businesses, and to achieve other goals of the ETOD Policy Plan within the station area. 70 70 Equitable Transit-Oriented Development Equitable Transit-Oriented Development North Lamar Transit Center Station Area Vision Plan 71 North Lamar Transit Center Station Area Vision Plan 71 Recommended ETOD Policy Tools …

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Hi Ana and Tim, First and foremost, please kindly pass along my staunch disapproval for this. I’ve heard over the years everyone wanting this, but nobody wanting it in their backyards…interesting that it’s piled on at this location where we are already doing our part living next to low income housing. This looks like you want it to expand and go up 5 stories. Surely our local government isn’t the kid with the messy room that shoves all the mess into the already messy closet? It seems as though the higher ups are shoving this into this area as a direct result of wanting this but not quite wanting this in their back yard… I’m disheartened that you seemingly spent 15 minutes pointing out to the handful of people on zoom where you’ve previously claimed this is happening as though it’s our fault for being unaware. This is clearly super vague. Even the slides are clearly “pro” rather than informational (i.e. the positive comments in little bubbles). The tax dollars spent on the previous “informational meetings” could’ve been better spent on one through/transparent mailer. Extremely disheartened that it seems as though our current only recourse is to show up at town hall meetings on 3/25 and 4/24. Please advise if this is the only recourse we have at this stage or if there is something else we can do. Also, please provide time and location specifics for the aforementioned provided dates. Please confirm there is nothing else I can do here to prevent this from happening. Your responses are greatly appreciated. Best Regards, Paul J.

We further agreed based on what we know now that we would agree that we would appear before Council on the zoning portion of this application by 6/5. My caveat was that if something unforeseen/surprising came up we would not be bound to a 6/5 date. Hope this helps. I also understand from Leah that the staff report has been issued.

Resolution: Opposition to Removal of Area 8 from FLUM Whereas the purpose of the South River City Citizens (SRCC) Neighborhood Association is to address shared concerns, goals, and activities that affect the quality of life of its residents and the character of SRCC neighborhood generally (SRCC Bylaws, Art. II); and Whereas Area 8, south of Saint Edward's University and bounded by South Congress Avenue and Ben White Boulevard, is contained within the geographical boundaries of SRCC (SRCC Bylaws, Art. III); and Whereas a proposed amendment to the City's Future Land Use Map (FLUM) provides that Area 8 be removed from the existing Saint Edwards Neighborhood Plan and placed in a new FLUM for the South Congress Transit Center Station Area Vision Plan; and Whereas excluding the residents of Area 8 from the Saint Edwards Neighborhood Plan in the existing FLUM and placing it in a new Transit Center FLUM would affect Area 8 residents by, inter alia, introducing uses inconsistent with quiet enjoyment of their residential neighborhood and diminishing the value of their residential dwellings; and Whereas excluding Area 8 from the existing FLUM and placing it in a new Transit Center FLUM would affect the character of SRCC neighborhood generally and shrink its boundaries without SRCC’s consent or approval; and NOW, THEREFORE, for all the foregoing reasons, be it resolved that the SRCC Neighborhood Association opposes any amendment of the FLUM affecting the use of land currently governed by the Saint Edwards Neighborhood Plan, also known as SRCC Area 8. Approved by vote of the SRCC General Membership, March 18, 2025
To Planning Commission re: NPA-2025-0022.01 I measured from the northernmost property the city proposes to remove from the FLUM, (211 E. Alpine) to the South Congress Transit Center ETOD. It is 8/10 of a mile (at least) across eight lanes of State Hwy 71/290 from our neighborhood/FLUM location. When we were doing the neighborhood plan, the city planners emphasized to us that good planning principles applied similar land uses facing each other across roads like S. Congress. For example, land on the west side of S. Congress in Dawson or Bouldin neighborhood should have a land use similar to the one in our neighborhood on the east side of S. Congress. This principle is not being implemented when removing property from our FLUM and linking it to a property across a state highway almost a mile away. Also, if this plan causes the existing commercial properties set back from the single family residences onWillow Springs Road, Braeswood and Woodleigh to be redeveloped using ETOD land use principles, the property owners will lose the quality of life they bought in this quiet tree filled neighborhood. Removing the proposed properties and placing them in a different planning area across a state highway in hopes that the results would promote the compact and connected goals of Imagine Austin is nonsensical. And it disenfranchises the neighbors who participated in the planning process the city required to create the Neighborhood Plans.

We adamantly disagree with this action and request you reconsider this flagrant disregard of existing, and neighborhood compatible, designation. You are removing property that is in a Federally designated Historical Neighborhood and located at the base of Blunn Creek. Removing these parcels of land is like “removing your umbrella in a rainstorm”. They protect the boundaries of a very delicate neighborhood eco-system. Please consider also that Income Restricted Development will uproot existing low cost housing, which displaces our current residents Please postpone your vote to allow for further input from our neighborhood. Removing FLUM will affect Multiple Land Use Areas not just ONE. And using ETOD as a justification is just not valid. Respectfully. Anita R.
