Thank you. Dear Commissioners and Council Members, As thousands of Austinites are civically engaged in get-out-the-vote activities, making their vote plans, and working to uphold the administration and integrity of Tuesday’s elections, the Planning Commission has scheduled public hearings starting at 6:00 pm on Election night on several high public interest land development code (LDC) items. This unfairly pits participating in public hearings against participating in Election Day activities. The remedy is to postpone hearing LDC items until after the results of Council elections, including run-offs, are decided. The Planning Commission creates a real, structural impediment to full civic participation in Austin by scheduling LDC items for its Election Day meeting. It effectively forces many Austinites who · are involved in election administration, poll watching, and other activities supporting election integrity to forfeit their right to participate in these public hearings. · made their election plan to vote on Election Day afternoon and evening to have to choose between electoral civic participation and public hearing civic participation. · as community volunteers assist elderly and handicapped voters with transportation to the polls to have to choose between electoral and public hearing participation. Unofficial, unrecorded “Listening Sessions” are no substitute for Austinites to exercise their right to attend a public hearing. Furthermore, run-off elections are likely, which will create more opportunities for the City of Austin to pit our electoral against our public hearing participation. Meetings planned …

From: To: Subject: Date: noreply@coadigital.onbehalfof.austintexas.gov on behalf of City of Austin Rivera, Andrew Proposed changes to zoning compatibility and parking standards Monday, November 7, 2022 12:44:26 PM This message is from Brian Pape. [ Andrew, I would like the following commentary passed along to the members of the Planning Commission before their hearing tomorrow, Election Day, at 6pm regarding the proposed changes to zoning compatibility and parking. I would like to address the commission myself but have already planned to help get people to the polls on Tuesday. Please make certain my comments get to them. Thank you! If I was able to attend the hearing scheduled for 6pm on Election Day, I would say this to all of you: WHEN YOU WEAKEN COMPATIBILITY AND PARKING STANDARDS THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE BOOKS FOR DECADES YOU ARE ILLEGALLY TAKING MONETARY VALUE FROM EXISTING PROPERTY OWNERS (EPO)! How - you might ask? WHEN an adjacent property is permitted to build taller and closer to an EPO and the result takes away privacy and/or permanently alters the look, feel and desirability of the EPO’s home. WHEN a lack of adequate, nearby parking for other properties causes the street an EPO lives on to become constantly crowded with parked cars and congested with vehicular traffic. WHEN a quiet, mostly SFR street or area transforms over several years into a predominantly multi-family street/area with inadequate parking and without adequate infrastructure like sidewalks, street widths, shade, traffic control. WHEN an adjacent property is permitted to build higher and closer to an EPO and permanently changes the shading, natural lighting, rainfall, breeze patterns of the EPO’s landscaping/yard. Ask any non-biased residential real estate professional about each of these “WHENS” and they will tell you that each and every one decreases an existing properties value. In a fully built-out neighborhood/area, you CANNOT CHANGE ZONING WITHOUT TAKING VALUE FROM ONE PROPERTY AND TRANSFERRING IT TO ANOTHER. Do not delude yourself into thinking that you can change existing zoning compatibility and parking standards without changing property values. You are hurting some and enriching others and nobody appointed you to do that!

Page 1 of 2 pages

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20220811-22 Date: November 8, 2022 Subject: Residential in Commercial Code Amendment Motioned By: Commissioner Azhar Recommendation Approve Staff’s recommendation related to amending Title 25 of the City Code to create an affordable housing bonus program and include the following amendments: Seconded By: Commissioner Thompson 1. Ensure that there is no 500 ft highway buffer in ordinance applicability. The ordinance must be applied with the 500 ft foot buffer and if needed, we recommend that council give direction to further study the issue. 2. Require Pedestrian-Oriented Commercial Spaces for a certain portion of the ground floor at the edge of the property fronting a transit corridor, including dimensional requirements and allowable commercial uses from the VMU ordinance. 3. Prohibit Type 2 and Type 3 STR. (This would be consistent with the compatibility ordinance as well) 4. Remove certain lease requirements from ordinance as indicated in proposed text change. Start a process to assess what lease requirements should be included in all density bonuses, including a stakeholder engagement process. Once we have identified a clear list of items that will support tenants and ensure bonus participation, we should make those changes across all density bonus programs. 5. Add advanced design standards from the VMU program. 6. Provide an incentive for ground floor retail by increasing height of the first level by 5 to 10 feet to accommodate a higher ceiling on the first floor. 7. Remove MU standards and replace with standards from the VMU program. Vote : 11-0 For: Chair Shaw, Vice-Chair Hempel and Commissioners Anderson, Azhar, Cox, Flores, Howard, Llanes Pulido, Mushtaler, Shieh and Thompson 1 of 2 Absent: Commissioner Schneider One vacancy on the dais (District 2) Attest: Andrew D.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 25, 2022: October 11, 2022: APPROVED A POSTPONEMENT TO OCTOBER 25, 2022 [A. AZHAR; R. SCHNEIDER – 2ND] (7-3) G. COX, Y. FLORES, C. HEMPEL – NAY, J. MUSHTALER – ABSTAIN; C. LLANES PULIDO – ABSENT; ONE VACANCY ON THE COMMISSION CITY COUNCIL ACTION: November 3, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: Staff reviewed the 1968 Use District map and determined that the subject property (and the property to the north and the two similarly situated properties to the west) has had Office district zoning since that time. Based on permit records, there is no evidence that the property has previously been used for office use, and therefore, the single family residence is a legal (nonconforming) use of the property under the existing LO-NP zoning. The –NP combining district was appended to the existing base district upon Council approval of the South Menchaca rezonings in November 2014. The property is within the Residential Core area on the Council-approved Character District Map. 1 of 93 C14-2022-0086 Page 2 CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area on Merle Drive consists of a platted lot, contains a single family residence and a detached garage, and is zoned limited office – neighborhood plan (LO-NP) district. There are residences along both sides of Merle Drive (SF-3-NP), as well as office and commercial uses to the north at its intersection with the eastbound frontage road of Ben White Boulevard. Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). The Applicant has filed a request to rezone the property to the family residence – neighborhood plan (SF-3-NP) district in order to build either a two-family residence (one single family residence plus an accessory dwelling unit) or a duplex on the property. The Applicant reports there are eight Heritage trees on the property, located towards the street frontage. The proposed rezoning would allow for one duplex residence, or one single family residence plus a second detached unit (a two-family residence, also known as an accessory dwelling …

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: October 25, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: December 1, 2022: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 75 C14-2022-0085 2 ISSUES: The southwestern property line of the subject property is located along a segment of Walnut Creek. As a result, the majority of the property is constrained by a creek buffer. While this tract is located at the terminus of Jonwood Way with no other street frontage, the property to the east is under the same ownership and has frontage on Dessau Road. The Applicant has stated their intent to develop the properties as one cohesive development. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: As stated in the Issues section, the rezoning tract is located at the terminus of Jonwood Way and west of Dessau Road. The property is currently zoned SF-2-NP and is undeveloped. Also stated in the Issues section, the property is constrained by creek buffers; the site is also heavily wooded. North of the property is a single family residential neighborhood with PUD- NP and SF-2-NP. A majority of the properties to the south and west are also zoned SF-2-NP and developed with single family residential uses. Further south are properties zoned SF-3- NP and SF-6-CO-NP that are also developed with residential uses. East of the property is a tract zoned SF-6-CO-NP that is undeveloped and under the same ownership. Conditional overlays on this property were established in 2003 and limited residential and daycare land uses. Further east, across Dessau Road, are SF-2, SF-1 and SF-6-CO-NP that are a mix of undeveloped and residential land uses. Please see Exhibits A and B- Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff has received correspondence regarding the rezoning request. Please see Exhibit C- Correspondence. Staff supports the rezoning to SF-6-NP as requested. The majority of the property is constrained by creek buffers and vegetation, making development of single family residential land use under the existing SF-2-NP zoning very limited. SF-6-NP does not have the same subdivision requirements as SF-2-NP and encourages clustered …

15 Historic Design Standards.pdf original pdf

Frequently Asked Questions This FAQ sheet is intended to provide a brief orientation to the Historic Design Standards. Please contact preservation@austintexas.gov if you have further questions. 1 Why were the Historic Design Standards I own a property in a locally designated historic developed? Don’t we already have standards for district. How will the Historic Design Standards 3 historic properties? affect me? The Historic Design Standards were developed to clarify existing standards for historic landmarks and National Register districts. They will also make the historic district application process easier and more equitable for new districts. The Historic Design Standards will not affect previously agreed-upon design standards for existing historic districts. They do align with existing district design standards and may be adopted by property owners within each district if desired. The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation form the foundation of preservation practice in the United States and are used in Austin to evaluate proposed changes to historic landmarks and in National Register districts. However, these very general standards can be hard to interpret when planning and evaluating specific projects. The Historic Design Standards clarify them with more specific good practices and illustrations. Right now, community members compiling a historic district application must hire a consultant or learn how to develop their own design standards. Then multiple rounds of review are required with other property owners and City staff. This adds time and cost to the application process—and results in design standards that are nearly identical to those for other districts. The Historic Design Standards will provide a consistent, predictable set of standards for all areas considering historic district designation. I own a historic landmark. How will the Historic 2 Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will clarify existing standards for exterior changes to historic landmarks, as well as new construction on landmarked properties. The Historic Design Standards are based on the standards that City staff and the Historic Landmark Commission already use to evaluate projects. However, they are clearer, more specific, and easier to use. No process changes are proposed. 4 I own a property in a National Register district. How will the Historic Design Standards affect me? If adopted by City Council, the Historic Design Standards will clarify existing guidelines for National Register district properties. The Historic Design Standards are based on the standards that City staff and the Historic Landmark …
