Heritage Hills/Windsor Hills Neighborhood Plan Contact Team Austin, Texas 78753 October 20, 2022 Hi Maureen, This is a letter concerning NPA and zoning case (NPA-2022-0028.02 and C14-2022-008) and the property on Jonwood Way. There are two neighborhoods that will be directly impacted. From meetings I attended, there are concerns about the rezoning. • Both neighborhoods would prefer to see fewer houses in the current greenspace. Currently this • • greenspace hosts an abundance of wildlife, many resettled from the developments on the east side of Dessau. Parkland dedication. Everyone appreciates the parkland dedication of this parcel prior to zoning approval. However, we the neighbors would like this land kept as a wild place, with no park improvements. There is a lack of visibility for the entire development. (Figure 1) This zoning request is being made so that this lot can be included in the 30-unit build planned for the adjacent lot. We have not been presented with an overall plan, and have several related requests/concerns: o Can we have confirmation that construction will not cause future flooding to neighbors adjacent to the property? o The developers promised a vegetative barrier will be installed between the properties on Jonwood and the new housing development. We would like commitment on that. o The developers promised to build the primary entrance to the site on Dessau, particularly during the construction phase. We would like commitment on that. o Could the parkland dedication be extended to the adjacent property as well to protect the entire creek (Figure 2). We appreciate that the developers worked hard to meet with the neighborhood leaders. However, it would be good to understand how the entire planned development will impact the neighborhood. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. Thank you, Gina Rosenthal HHWH Contact Team Member 9405 Dallum Drive 512.850.9769 Figure 1: Adjacent Parcel Figure 2: Adjacent Parcel Parkland Request
RESOLUTION NO. 20211209-056 WHEREAS, under the Land Development Code, residential development is not currently allowed in many of the commercial zoning districts in Austin; and WHEREAS, City Council adopted the Austin Housing Strategic Blueprint (the Blueprint) in 2017 which called for 135,000 housing units by 2028, with 60,000 of those units at or below 80 percent of the median family income (MFI); and WHEREAS, in the proposed Land Development Code Revision, residential uses were allowed in more zoning districts than in current city code; and WHEREAS, allowing housing in more places provides the opportunity for increased housing supply in Austin; and WHEREAS, in its 2018 report, the Planning Commission Mapping Working Group indicated that allowing mixed use in commercial zoning could lead to about 46,324 housing units in new capacity; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: The City Council initiates amendments to the Land Development Code, codified in City Code Title 25, to allow residential uses in General Commercial Services (CS), Commercial Liquor Sales (CS-1), Community Commercial (GR), Neighborhood Commercial (LR), General Office (GO), and Limited Office (LO) zoning districts, subject to participation in a voluntary affordable housing incentive program.

Require at least 10 percent of the homeownership units be affordable to households at 80 percent MFI for at least 99 years; 3. Authorize residential uses in all parcels located in the listed zoning districts except when subject to a regulating plan which prohibits residential uses on the particular parcel, subject to compliance with affordability requirements, site development regulations, parking requirements, and design standards similar to those design standards currently applicable to Vertical Mixed Use Buildings; 4. To the extent feasible, provide an incentive for ground floor retail by increasing height by 5-10 feet to accommodate the higher ceiling on the first floor when the project contains commercial uses on the ground floor and provides residential dwelling units on all upper floors; 5. Identify options for a "right to return" policy for art workshops and galleries, theater, and other creative spaces that have operated for more than 10 years on a particular site. The policy would give preference to …

Mink Address affected: 1208 Somerset Ave. Austin 78753 Daytime phone number: 512‐415‐4090 Date: October 24, 2022 Comments: I object to this amendment My property is directly across the creek from the proposed project. We had the developers out recently to our neighborhood association meeting. They did not present information on any details of this project. They just want the re‐zoning and then then they said they would tell the neighbors any details about what they intend to build there. The presentation was basically a “trust us, it will be lovely” approach. We have gotten differing information as to the number of units, whether they will be for purchase, for long term rental or short‐term rental, etc. “They will be lovely” is all the developers say. LOTS more details are needed. Legally they cannot build within a certain distance from the center of the creek. But they provided no information about how they intend to protect the creek and not have contamination of the creek. That creek and the areas around the creek have a stand of huge trees and has been the natural habitat for generations for owls, hawks, possums, armadillos, coyotes, foxes and many song birds. The developers say that the area along the creek will be ‘parkland’ without any details of how they intend to leave this natural area as the wildlife refuge it has been for generations. They seem to be using a loophole… they have to designate a certain portion of their land as ‘parkland’, so they are just saying that their ‘parkland’ will just be the area where they cannot build anyway. 1 Neighbors on this side of the creek have dealt with folks walking through our property to get to the wooded area and the creek. We have had to watch our children in our own backyards because of others trying to get to the property across the creek. If the area across the creek now becomes ‘parkland’, the amount of folks from outside the immediate neighborhood seeking access to this area will only increase. The developers need to be much …
DRAFT ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING HISTORIC DESIGN STANDARDS AND AMENDING CITY CODE CHAPTERS 25-2 AND 25-11 RELATING TO HISTORIC LANDMARKS AND HISTORIC AREA COMBINING DISTRICTS. BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: PART 1. The City Council makes the following findings: (A) Property owners, City staff, and the Historic Landmark Commission currently use the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Properties to evaluate proposed projects. (B) The Secretary of the Interior’s standards are of a general nature and do not provide specific, practical guidance for evaluating projects involving historic properties. (C) The current application process for designation of a historic area (HD) combining district is time-consuming and costly and may constitute a barrier to lower-income communities. (D) The adoption of historic design standards applicable to all existing and new historic landmarks, new historic area combining districts, and, in an advisory capacity, to National Register districts, will streamline the process, reduce the cost, and allow for equitable participation by all communities across the City. In September 2018, the Historic Landmark Commission (commission) established a working group consisting of historic preservation and design professionals, developers, owners of historic properties, potential historic district residents, and commission members, which created historic design standards applicable to existing and potential historic landmarks and historic area combining districts. (F) The commission recommended that Council adopt the working group’s design standards (historic design standards) in November 2020. (G) The historic design standards are intended to increase equity and accessibility to the historic preservation program, provide clear standards aligned with national (E) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 standards and best practices in historic preservation, streamline the historic district application process, and allow for additional density while maintaining compatibility with historic buildings and neighborhoods.
