Edward Durell Stone (1902 – 1978) Edward Durell Stone was an early pioneer of the New Formalist style. A highly prolific architect who designed buildings across the globe, by 1958 Stone was one of the best-known architects in America. 265 of 27119 Born in Fayetteville, Arkansas in 1902, Stone was the youngest of four children. He displayed an aptitude for drawing at an early age. After attending the University of Arkansas, Stone moved to Boston in 1922. He took classes at the Boston Architectural Club (now Boston Architectural College), Harvard University’s School of Architecture (where he earned a scholarship), and MIT, though he never earned a degree. Stone began his career as a draftsman at the Boston-based firm Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott. He moved to New York in 1929, joining the firm of Schultze & Weaver, where he designed the main lobby, grand ballroom, and private dining rooms of the Waldorf-Astoria. He received his first independent commission in 1933. Stone traveled often to Italy and drew upon European precedents in his work. He became an early pioneer of the New Formalist style, whose classically inspired forms and materials countered the stark minimalism of the International Style. His firm achieved remarkable success and international acclaim. Though he lived in New York the rest of his life, Stone designed a number of important buildings in the Los Angeles area. In 1958, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) selected Stone’s Stuart Pharmaceutical Company (/locations/stuart-building) building in Pasadena as one of the five best designs of the year. Financier Howard Ahmanson (responsible for the Home Savings and Loan branches designed by Millard Sheets) commissioned Stone to design his Wilshire Boulevard headquarters. Completed in 1967, Ahmanson Center (now Wilshire Colonnade (/locations/wilshire-colonnade)) remains a striking monument to Ahmanson’s financial and cultural contributions to Los Angeles. 266 of 27119 Stone’s Edward T. Foley Center (/locations/edward-t-foley-center-loyola- marymount-university) (1964) on the campus of Loyola Marymount University (LMU) became an advocacy issue for the Conservancy in 2010.

As a follow up regarding OANA’s request about the use of the $18,500 of mitigation funds, i.e.: • That these funds be used within a year of being received to plant native trees in the esplanade where needed along the West 12th Street between West Avenue and Colorado Street. I’ve had positive conversations about this today with Andrew Smiley of Tree Folks and Dave Anderson representing the applicant. If Naomi and Caitlan are agreeable and planting trees in the West 12th Street esplanade is approved by the city, just for your info, Tree Folks is willing to work with city staff to accomplish this project. We’re aware that part of the process of deciding where tree mitigate funds are spent is accessing which are the more ‘tree canopy deficient’ areas of town. However, OANA interests are the tree canopy within its neighborhood. And, therefore requests that these mitigation funds be spent on W 12th Street, most directly replacing the tree canopy that is being removed on W 11th Street. We ask for the applicant and staff to support of this request. Please let me know if you have any questions.

To: Chair and Commissioners of the City of Austin Planning Commission; Ms. Sherri Sirwaitis CC: Mr. Andrew Rivera From: Nathalie Frensley, District 7 Re: Item 18, C14-2022-0120 – 5003 Burnet Road, FOR Staff Recommendation to Rezone to CS-1-MU-V-CO-NP Mr. Rivera – Could you please add this to backup for Item 18? Thank you very much. Dear Chair and Commissioners of the Planning Commission – Please support Ms. Sherri Sirwaitis’ recommendation and the applicant’s willingness to rezone the tenant space at 5003 Burnet Road from CS-MU-V-CO-NP to CS-1-MU-V-CO-NP, which will allow for package liquor sales only. We deeply appreciate Ms. Sirwaitis’ and the applicant’s sensitivity to early neighborhood concerns that the tenant space at 5003 Burnet could become a bar now or in the future. For those commissioners unfamiliar with that locale, the commercial area is organically developing into a medical and social services district, bounded by family residential with three daycares and three schools, creating a community area in which a bar/lounge would be a very inappropriate use. Ally Medical Emergency Room is approximately 2/3 of a mile to the north and Eye Physicians of Austin, which is adjacent to 5003 Burnet, anchor this emerging medical district. Eye Physicians of Austin is a major ophthalmological and surgical facility, with many patients. Within .5 miles, the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Disabled is a major state health facility and school and many of its adult clients live close by 5003 Burnet Road. Both Allandale and Brentwood Neighborhood associations had early concerns about a bar and potentially inebriated patrons in an area with one of the highest concentrations of visually disabled pedestrians in Austin. There is additional context supporting Ms. Sirwaitis’ staff recommendation for package liquor sales only. Other Social services/senior citizen support are in proximity to this property, including the Dyslexia-Orton Dyslexia Society (.5 miles), Austin Crisis Center (.5 miles), and an eldercare residential facility (.3 miles). Campaigns for People is only 528’ away from 5003 Burnet. Other medical offices and services are also in proximity (.5-.2 miles), including three doctors’ offices and ATX Primary Care. A doctor’s office and an optometrist are each only 528’ away from 5003 Burnet. There are three daycares within 1500’ of 5003 Burnet, and the Truelove Montessori and Huntington-Surrey High School are in close proximity. Please vote to support Ms. Sirwaitis’ recommendation to rezone to CS-1-MU-V- CO-NP, which will allow for package liquor …

Design Commission Recommendation 20220926-7 September 28, 2022 Honorable Mayor Adler Honorable City Council Members City Manager Spencer Cronk RE: Functional Green Adoption Postponement Dear Mayor and City Council Members. Given that the Functional Green program may have a wide and potentially negative effect on development in our city, the Design Commission recommends the postponement of the adoption of Functional Green until a complete review can confirm the necessity and efficacy of the proposed code. The attached Recommendation 20220926-7 details Design Commission’s rationale for our unanimous agreement for postponement, including but not limited to stakeholder feedback that has not been utilized, at all. We request a review for redundancy in codes and in the review process, and also outline a path forward to confirm that the program will create effective improvements in future developments. Because the Design Commission reviews projects to confirm compliance with the Urban Design Guidelines, we believe that we understand the existing requirements for landscapes, pedestrian- focused areas, and open space in urban areas. It is through this lens that we offer feedback for your consideration – to improve our approval process and ultimately our built city – that we may all enjoy together. Thank you for your consideration. Jen Weaver Chair City of Austin Design Commission DESIGN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION 20220926-7 September 28, 2022 Commissioner Coleman Seconded By: Commissioner Carroll Design Commission Recommendation for Functional Green Date: Subject: Motioned By: Recommendation The Design Commission recommends the postponement of the adoption of Functional Green. Description of Recommendation to Council The Design Commission recommends the postponement of the adoption of Functional Green until stakeholder feedback is assessed, redundancies and cost are evaluated, actual submittals with costs are reviewed, a strategy for staff training and deployment has been reported, benefits of the program are proven, feasibility of planting requirements are verified, and an affordability assessment has been completed. Rationale: The questions and concerns generated during the Code Next stakeholder process were not addressed. Consultants and stakeholders had questions about the process, complexity of the site planning (as it relates to other codes like impervious cover per existing code, etc.) and the review process by other City of Austin departments. The Design Commission would like to address the redundancies and overlaps between this potential code and the other landscape and site design ordinances including: 1. The Landscape Ordinance 2. Austin Energy Green Building Requirements 3. Water Forward 4. Great Streets 5. Subchapter …
