A Parkland Early Determination (PED #1286) was issued for this property in 2021, and stated that parkland dedication would be owed for the project, and included the following details: a. Site area is 271 acres b. 2,184 multifamily units and 573 hotel rooms were proposed. c. Area is within a Public Improvement District (PID), and would therefore owe 10.4 acres of land per 1,000 residents. d. It is outside the urban core with no parkland dedication cap. e. At medium density, this calculates to 57 acres* (This figure has been double checked and appears incorrect – the correct number is 54.3 acres, assuming numbers above are correct.) U2: Plan has been updated with land uses. Residential land use is proposed only for lot C1 with 325 units proposed. Parkland dedication will be satisfied for these units by the dedication of 9.46 acres of credited parkland (18.26 acres of total parkland) on lots E6 and F8. If additional residential is proposed, or if the updated parkland dedication ordinance (20220915-053) is in effect, additional parkland will be required. A note has been added to the coversheet: “Land to be dedicated is shown on this preliminary plan as Lots E6 and F8, which will provide credit for 325 residential units on Lot C1. Any additional proposed units will have additional parkland requirements. Land will be dedicated to the City of Austin upon final plat of any lots adjacent to lot E6 and F8.” Comment cleared. PR2. Recommend a follow up meeting with PARD to discuss parkland dedication and sequence. Please contact this reviewer to schedule a meeting. U2: Thank you for discussions with PARD. Comment cleared. PR3. Within the Preliminary Plan, show parkland as separately platted lots. Label future parkland as “To be dedicated to City of Austin.” 25-1-83; 25-1-602 U2: Thank you for label. Comment cleared. PR4. Provide a map and table showing the area of parkland dedication that is in the following categories: (A) 25-year floodplain, (B) critical water quality zone, 100-year floodplain, or CEF buffer NOT in 25-year floodplain, and (C) land unencumbered by the above mentioned restrictions.25-1-83; 25-1-602; 25-1-603 U2: Table has been shared.

Previous case number: C8-2020-0141. Conditional approval of RSMP was granted per letter sent to applicant (as evidenced by the letter being included with this case submittal documents). As applicant is likely aware, the RSMP group currently has no permanent staff, please be patient with us as we figure out status of all projects and get oriented. My understanding is that a new RS case number needs to be assigned and a new letter issued which references this particular SP case number. Per previous review comments from Emily, at Plat, participation agreement and fee must be paid for roadway, and then the subsequent fees would be determined for each development area at the time of (assumed) site plan submittal. Conditional Letter of approval dated 9/9/2022 and sent to applicant on 9/13/2022 Notice to applicant: Applicant must remedy all compliance issues without creating additional compliance issues with the LDC and/or Criteria manuals. A response that fails to correct an issue, or which creates other issues does not comply with the LDC and is insufficient to address the comments. The comments provided describe an issue that must be remedied in order for the application to be approved. Any specific examples are provided as a courtesy and are not intended as an exhaustive list, especially as the site may be updated to have additional compliance issues. Contact this reviewer if you have any questions (additionally, if sending emails, please CC RSMP@austintexas.gov) RS1. The site, as shown on the plan provided, is not in compliance with DCM Section 8 “Stormwater management.” Please correct your application to be in compliance with code. A. An updated conditional approval letter will be issued via email. At final plat, public ROW will be finalized, and a formal agreement, approval letter, and payment will be completed for that area. At the time of each site development application, site area, impervious cover, and other details will be finalized with total impervious cover not to exceed 127.7 acres across the 207 participating acres as outlined in the comprehensive drainage analysis completed with this preliminary plan. At final plat, an RSMP tracking table will be established and carried through each site development plan to ensure that proposed impervious cover assumed in the drainage analysis is not exceeded. Any exclusions of drainage easements or other area from the RSMP participation payment calculation(s) will be documented and finalized at the time of approval for the applicable site plan(s). (DCM 8.2) UPDATE 1: Pending UPDATE 2: Conditional approval letter sent to applicant on 9/13/2022. Comment Cleared. Plat note number 10 must have the blanks filled in upon receipt of the updated conditional approval letter (DCM 8.2.2) UPDATE 1: Pending UPDATE 2: date inserted appropriately. Comment cleared Since this has a new case number, and in order to have a complete and cohesive submittal, please submit the RSMP HMS model to Intake for inclusion in the case file.

Please revise note 12 on the preliminary plan to the below correcting the italicized section below and please correct Sky Park Commons elsewhere to the new street name if unable to use “Sky Park Commons” as a name (25-1-83): “Prior to the recording of any final plat of all or a portion of this preliminary plan, fiscal security shall be provided in accordance with LDC §25-1-112 of the Land Development Code for the following subdivision improvements: A. Street construction and related infrastructure, including paving, drainage, sidewalks, water supply and wastewater collection, for the following streets: Velocity Crossing, Sky Park Commons (Or New Name for Road since you can’t use Park), World Drive, and Spirit Drive Fiscal security is not required for streets not listed in subsection (A). B. Environmental and safety controls, and other related items (e.g., erosion and sedimentation controls, restoration, channel work, pipe in easements, detention, water quality ponds, etc.) as determined prior to final plat approval. The restoration cost estimate will be based on disturbed areas including the following streets: Velocity Crossing, Sky Park Commons (Or New Name for Road since you can’t use Park), World Drive, and Spirit Drive” U1. Comment Not Cleared. Text revised, but please add Momentum Way to both lists and label on the face of the plan U2. Comment Cleared. Street Names Added. SR3.Please update the legend on the overall preliminary plan to show just what is on the face of the overall preliminary plan (25-1-83) U1. Comment Cleared. Text Revised. SR4. Note 20 states that there is no known CEFs on the property, but then note 30 states that CEFs need to have a buffer, please coordinate with the wetlands biologist reviewer on what notes they would like to see on the plan (25-1-83) U1. Comment Cleared. Text Revised. SR5. It appears that there are phasing outlines on the preliminary plan, it is suggested that these lines are removed from the preliminary plan, because they are not necessary. The final plats would need to be submitted in the exact sequence that they are in the preliminary plan-if they are not submitted in this sequence you would need to send in an application to this preliminary plan to correct the phases. Additionally, the phasing lines appear to be cutting through lots?- you would not be able to submit a final plat with partial lots (25-1-83) U1. Comment Cleared. SR6. Please update the case/ file number to C8-2022-0112 on the plan on both the bottom of each sheet SR7.

Comment Cleared. Text Revised. SR8. Please ensure that this preliminary plan matches the project assessment associated with this application- For instance there appears to be a lot labeled as Lot 2 Block C on the project assessment, but this lot does not seem to appear on the current preliminary plan, there also appears to be very slight differences in acres of the lots from the project assessment to the current plan (25-1-83) U1. Comment Cleared SR9. Please remove all of the building footprints from the surrounding property- for instance on sheet 3 and sheet 5 there appears to be contours or building footprints for the surrounding property (25-1- 83) U1.
