Long-Range Capital Improvement Planning Housing and Planning Department www.austintexas.gov/department/ housing-planning INTRODUCTORY GUIDE PURPOSE OF THE LRCP Long-Range Capital Improvement Planning (LRCP) is the process that examines CIP needs looking 10 years or more into the future. It is a lens for viewing CIP projects, which are typically granular in nature, within the scale of high-level policies identified in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan and Strategic Direction 2023. It is updated on a two-year cycle and contributes to the annual recommendations approved by Planning commission. COMPONENTS OF THE LRCP Planning for long-range CIP investments enjoins multiple sources of information. The major elements that inform the planning process are maintained by multiple city departments including Public Works and the Budget Office. The main components, and their oft-seen abbreviations, are summarized below. CIP - Capital Improvement Program The City of Austin regularly undertakes projects to improve public facilities and infrastructure assets for the benefit of its citizens. Projects include the construction of city facilities such as recreation centers and libraries as well as the reconstruction of streets, replacement of water/wastewater lines and provision of power for City of Austin residents. Collectively, these projects are referred to as the City of Austin CIP. CIA - Comprehensive Infrastructure Assessment The CIA identifies, inventories, and reports the conditions of the City’s infrastructure assets. The information is set up in a framework that enables departments to identify capital, maintenance, and operational needs to address infrastructure performance and maximize the lifespan of the City’s infrastructure assets. Lead Department: Public Works Department, Asset Management Office RNA - Rolling Needs Assessment Highlighted Projects The RNA is a collection of identified, highlighted capital projects of interest that demonstrates the breadth of City projects proposed within the next 10 years. The RNA includes a brief summary of departments’ CIP project identification, prioritization, and selection processes. Overall, the RNA includes 21 departments and over 200 highlighted capital projects. Lead Department: Financial Services, Budget Office SIA - Strategic Investment Analysis The SIA examines the highlighted projects identified in the RNA, their relationship to City policies, and how their geographic dispersion could have potentially differing impacts throughout Austin. The SIA is presented as a series of charts and interactive maps to provide a variety of frameworks that can be used to strategically inform project and policy recommendations.

Independently, we have discussed entering into a private restrictive covenant with the neighborhood to restrict the height of the building to 85 feet as measured from the ground floor on E. 6th St. The combination of the site’s slope and the way in which the City measures height necessitate this safeguard to ensure the building’s proportions match those supported by the neighborhood. We understand that the case will be postponed until the July 13, 2021 Planning Commission meeting and that we will be invoiced for the new notification. Of course, I am happy to answer any questions. Very truly yours, Michael J. Whellan {W1065640.1}

Chapter/ Page # Topic Proposed Amendment Justification References (if needed) Notes PC Vote Staff Response Proposed Text Change (Underline added text/Strikethrough deleted text) Text Change Included in Amendment (YES/NO) Image included The creation of a subdistrict on the Eastern end (subdistrict 4) aligns with the URB approval The creation of the subdistrict is necessary to reflect our other recommendations See staff recommendation to leave this subdistrict as part of Subdistricts 1 and 2. This recommendation will reduce and eliminate entitlements, create nonconforming uses, and effectively remove these properties from the NCCD. For example, 1310 Rosewood Avenue has the base zoning of SF-3 which does not allow commerical or multi-family uses; however, under the current NCCD regualtions and staff recommendations this site would be able to utilize the commercial and multi-family entitlements allowed in Subdistrict 1. Staff was made aware of the reduction in entitlements when engaging with property owners after the Urban Renewal Board made its recommendation. Intention: No nonconforming structure should be created in Subdistrict 4 Existing structures are one to two stories. While this change will probably not create nonconforming structures, it will reduce building height entitlements for properties in this subdistrict. No Recommendation for Subdistrict 1,2 and 3, aligns with staff recommendation and recommendation for Subdistrict 4 aligns with URB recommendation Allows for existing planning processes to proceed while aligning with existing entitlements and responding to neighborhood concerns Responding to neighborhood concerns.

• Do the use allowances recommended by Staff for 11 St. NCCD apply along Rosewood as well or not? Can you please clarify the staff note in cell D4 in the DRAFT_PCWG_RecTable spreadsheet that you shared with us this? o Staff recommends that conditions related to use placement along 11th Street do not apply to Rosewood Avenue. This clarification is only needed if the staff recommendation for Subdistrict 1 to front along Rosewood is accepted. • Are condo/town home prohibited as a use in the staff recommendation for both 11th and 12th streets? Why are we looking to prohibit a use (SF) that is expressly called out in the original URP vision for the street? o Townhouse and Condominium use are allowed in both NCCDs with the condition that they will not front on 11th or 12th street. o The recommendation is to allow for single family use to continue where it exists through the “save & except” provision and on 12th street, where the base zoning is SF-3. • o Unsure which part of the original URP is being referenced. Please clarify. Is there a map that can show lot numbers in the area? We are specifically, trying to understand which lots are Lot 16 and 18. o Updated map attached!

CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: Applicant seeks zoning to build 330 residential units on the 4.3881 acre (191,145 sq. ft.) parcel of land at 7113 and 7115 Burnet Road. The requested zoning is multi-family residence - highest density-conditional overlay-neighborhood plan (MF-6-CO-NP) combining district zoning. The CO would establish a 20-foot building setback from the rear property line. Current Conditions The site is a commercial development with a parking lot fronting Burnet Road. Multiple buildings are set back more than 150 feet from the road. The largest tenant space is the bar closest to Burnet Road. The adjacent buildings are occupied by small businesses providing, for instance: driving instruction and martial arts coaching; coffee and kolaches; hair-cuts and massages. The site is auto oriented. With the exception of the bar, the businesses face north and are not visible from the street. There is a large multi-tenant sign only about half filled with business names and there appear to be several vacant tenant spaces. There is a free-standing building in the office zoned (east) part of the site. There are vehicles stored on that portion of the …

AZHAR 2ND] (12-0) CHAIR SHAW - ABSENT CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be scheduled RESTRICTIVE COVENANT TERMINATION RECORDING NUMBER: 1 of 12B-3 C14-72-032(RCT) 2 ISSUES There are three related land use cases: The Neighborhood Plan Amendment, case NPA-2021- 0017.01 to change the FLUM from Commercial to Multi-family residential land use; The Rezoning case C14-2021-0044 requesting MF-6-CO-NP zoning; and this case requesting termination of the Restrictive Covenant that established a 20 foot building setback on the LO- CO-NP zoned tract; CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject Restrictive Covenant is less restrictive than current compatibility standards in the Austin Land Development Code. At the time that the subject property zoning was changed from residential to office in 1973, Restrictive Covenants were used to provide an increased setback between the office and the houses on Hardy Circle. The City has since changed to using a conditional overlay (CO) to make development standards more restrictive through the zoning ordinance instead of Restrictive Covenants. Applicant is requesting the termination of the Restrictive Covenant which established a twenty- foot building setback from the north property line of the 48,638 square foot tract of land that was rezoned from residential to office in 1973 (Ordinance No. 73 0628-D). The Restrictive Covenant is recorded in volume 4674, page 2281 of the Deed Records of Travis County, Texas. Paragraph number 1. “No Building or any part thereof shall be located within twenty (20) feet of the north property line of said property”. Please refer to Exhibit “C”. Compatibility Standards in Article 10 (LDC 25-2-1063) apply to the subject site because it is located next to SF-3-NP zoning and the development site is bigger than 20,000 square feet. The minimum setback is 25 feet from …
