Backup

To: Planning Commission From: Sam Tedford, Principal Planner, Housing and Planning Department Date: January 18, 2022 Subject: Staff Postponement of C20-2021-006 City of Austin Housing and Planning staff are requesting a postponement of C20-2021-006 regarding amendments to the Vertical Mixed Use affordability requirements to April 12, 2022. These code changes, including the more recent Council-approved Resolution No. 20211118- 052, rely on staff analysis to calibrate affordable housing program requirements. Through engagement with stakeholders during the process to calibrate a different density bonus program, issues were found in the modeling tool that staff rely on to support this calibration work. Housing and Planning staff are working to resolve issues with the modeling tool before developing recommendations in response to Council and Planning Commission-initiated changes. Staff anticipate that the Vertical Mixed-Use items will be ready for Planning Commission and Council public hearings in April 2022.
