DATE: April 23, 2026 TO: CC: City of Austin Council Member: Vanessa Fuentes, District 2 City of Austin Zoning Dept: Maureen Meredith (Maureen.Meredith@austintexas.gov) Applicant: Alice Glasco (alice@agconsultingcompany.com) FROM: South Congress Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (SCCNPCT) to City of Austin Planning Commission RE: Letter Not to Support: 6111, 6113, 6119 South Congress Ave. Case number: NPA-2025-0020.04 – C14-2025-0096N NPA-2025-0020.04 and C14-2025-0096_6111, 6113 and 6119 S. Congress A Dear Planning Commissioners and Council Member Vanessa Fuentes: This is to inform you that the property owner’s representative has been meeting with the South Congress Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (SCCNPCT) related to the proposed rezoning of the above-mentioned property. This case, Number: NPA-2025-0020.04 – C14-2025-0096 6111, 6113, 6119 South Congress Ave., will be on the agenda before the Planning Commission on April 28, 2026. The SCCNPCT has had several meetings with the developer’s representative Alice Glasco, and the opportunity to express a number of our neighborhoods’ concerns regarding the deep affordability that has been lost with the closing of the mobile home park that previously existed at this location. However, we cannot support rezoning this property at this time, as we believe that the provision of affordable units currently being proposed falls short of compensating for what has been lost. We, the SCCNPCT, maintain Austin’s affordability as a main priority, so true affordable housing is provided for families and children living within the Contact Team area and in all of Austin, Texas. Please ensure this letter is added to the above case file to serve as the SCCNPCT’s letter Not to support re-zoning of the above property, Zoning Case No. NPA-2025-0020.04 – C14-2025- 0096 - 6111, 6113, 6119 South Congress Ave. We value Council Member Vanessa Fuentes insights and ask for her involvement in every part of this zoning case. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this case. Sincerely, Mario Cantu, Chair South Congress Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team. 06 NPA-2025-0020.04 - Congress Views; District 21 of 1
