Affordability Impact Statement Land Development Code Chapter 25-2, 25-5, 25-7, 25-8 September 22, 2022 Proposed Regulation The proposed amendments will update various sections of the Land Development Code (LDC) pursuant to Resolution No. 20220609-061. Amendments include policy changes, streamlining of current processes, and edits for clarity. Housing and Planning Department (HPD) staff evaluated the proposed amendments for their potential to impact housing affordability. The majority were found to have negligible impacts; two proposals were identified as having potential significant impacts, “significant” here defined as increasing the cost of housing development that would be feasible under current code. The rest of this staff analysis focuses on those two proposed amendments. The substance of these two amendments is paraphrased below: § 25-8-213 WATER QUALITY CONTROL STANDARDS • For developments with up to 90% impervious cover*: requiring green stormwater infrastructure for water quality treatment Article 25-8, Subchapter C. Functional Green • For developments allowed to contain over 80% impervious cover: requiring Functional Green** landscape elements *Exceptions and variances apply to eligible developments. **Functional Green describes a set of landscape elements that are used to restore native vegetation, enhance streetscape aesthetics, and prioritize green over grey, usually concrete, infrastructure. Please see the draft ordinance for the proposed list of landscape elements that would contribute to a site’s Functional Green score. Overall Evaluation Summary The proposed code amendments may increase construction and maintenance costs but have environmental benefits. Due to these tradeoffs, the affordability impact is considered undetermined. HPD staff recommends modifying the code or developing programs to mitigate the costs for developments with income-restricted units. See below for more detail. Applicability The Functional Green requirement will not apply to projects with residential base zoning, because residential zones do not exceed 80% impervious cover. However, it will apply to some projects using Vertical Mixed Use, Affordability Unlocked, and the proposed Residential in Commercial incentive program. The green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) requirement will apply to most multifamily or residential subdivision projects. Benefits heat island effect. 1. The requirements would increase onsite vegetation, which would mitigate the urban 2. The requirements would increase greenspace, thus increasing the mental and physical health benefits that it provides. This addresses disparities identified in the Equity Response, Summary, and Recommendations, which is an attachment to the code amendment staff report, which states, “Communities of color and low-income communities have been shown to have disproportionately worse physical, mental, and environmental health outcomes …
RESOLUTION NO. 20220609-061 WHEREAS, protecting our environment is the foundation for sustaining our planet, community, and economy; and WHEREAS, the City ofAustin's "State of Our Environment: 2020 Annual Report," showed that creeks in the Desired Development Zone scored on average 10 points lower than those in the Drinking Water Protection Zone; and WHEREAS, the Drinking Water Protection Zone designation located on the west side of Austin has restricted development through regulations creating positive environmental outcomes, while the Desired Development Zone, located in Central and East Austin, has more permissive regulations that have resulted in some negative outcomes; and WHEREAS, properties located in the Desired Development Zone have more permissive development regulations with regard to the size of creek buffers, impervious cover limits, cut and fill, and construction on slopes; and WHEREAS, extensive empirical literature links exposure to nature with better health, and creeks provide city-wide opportunities to experience nature; and WHEREAS, current code allows for structures such as in-channel detention basins and concrete wastewater manholes to be placed in creeks, which can cause erosion and other severe, often long-lasting consequences that can be expensive to reverse; and WHEREAS, the City is faced with the existing and growing threat of industrial discharges that can negatively impact creeks and communities located primarily on the east side of the City of Austin; and Page 1 of 10 WHEREAS, there has been a steady increase in the amount of land area in Austin covered by impervious surfaces and a corresponding steady decrease in the amount of pervious land area capable of absorbing rainfall; and WHEREAS, one result of the historically high rates of development is a rise in the amount of runoff that flows off-site from developed properties and into older, undersized stormwater drain systems, creeks, rivers, and lakes, contributing to increases in flooding severity, damage to private property, loss of life, and water pollution; and WHEREAS, currently City Code allows redeveloped sites to use existing impervious cover as a baseline for drainage calculations, resulting in increased runoff and contributing to flooding and erosive flows downstream; and WHEREAS, increasing density reduces sprawl and thereby reduces traffic congestion, pollution, and development of open spaces and agricultural; and WHEREAS, a U.S. Geological Survey study found that using green stormwater infrastructure for water quality provided enhanced mitigation of peak flows and run-off volumes compared to large, detention-based stormwater control practices; and WHEREAS, the Watershed Protection Department "Master …
M E M O R A N D U M Mayor and Council Members Katie Coyne, AICP, Certified Ecologist – ESA Environmental Officer / Assistant Director Watershed Protection Department Rey Arellano, Assistant City Manager September 29, 2022 TO: FROM: THROUGH: DATE: SUBJECT: Proposed Phase 1 Environmental Code Amendment Related to Resolution #20220609-061 The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an update to the staff response related to proposed code amendments to Title 25 that were initiated by the City Council under Resolution 20220609-061. The approved resolution directed the City Manager to initiate a suite of code amendments related to environmental health and landscape requirements. Council approved staff’s request to postpone consideration of this item to your meeting of October 13, 2022. A summary of these code amendments, which the resolution directed to be considered by September 15, 2022, is provided below: 1. 2. 3. Initiated code amendment: Establish criteria that prioritize when green stormwater methods should be required or incentivized over conventional stormwater controls. Staff recommendation: Require green stormwater controls, such as biofiltration ponds, rain gardens, rainwater harvesting, etc., for sites with less than 90% impervious cover, except for sites meeting certain conditions. Allow an administrative variance option for constrained sites. Initiated code amendment: Require surface parking lot stormwater to enter pervious parking lot islands, landscaped medians, and perimeter landscapes as a method of water quality and require that pavement be graded to allow runoff to enter planting areas. Staff recommendation: Remove stormwater irrigation requirements from existing landscape requirements. Remove six-inch curb barrier requirement for parking lot islands, medians, and peninsulas. Require stormwater to flow into parking lot islands, medians, and peninsulas when feasible. Initiated code amendment: Implement Functional Green requirements for properties with more than 80% allowable impervious cover. Staff recommendation: Apply Functional Green landscape requirements for sites with greater than 80% allowable impervious cover within a new Subchapter (C) in Land Development Code Chapter 25-8 Environment. Staff recommends a delayed effective date of Functional Green landscape requirements until the associated rules can be vetted through the stakeholder process. Staff requests that the Council also provide direction Page 1 of 3 4. 5. 6. 8. 9. 7. allowing them to amend Title 25-2 Zoning to move the remainder of the existing landscaping requirements from 25-2 Zoning into the newly created subchapter and allow staff to propose minor modifications for clarity to existing landscaping requirements.

Zoning and Platting Commission Resolution Whereas, the Austin City Council passed Resolution 20220609-061 “relating to environmental protections and water quality”; and Whereas, the City Council directed the City Manager “to address the equitable protection of the environment throughout the City of Austin as part of the Watershed Protection Strategic Plan’; and Whereas, the proposed regulations include green stormwater infrastructure and functional green to lessen the heat island effect and provide other benefits; and Whereas, the proposed regulations lessen environmental reviews for some projects including water quality controls, critical environmental features, construction on slopes and watershed impervious cover limits; and Whereas, the City of Austin Zoning and Platting Commission welcomes improved environmental protections and water quality throughout the entire City. Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission encourages the Austin City Council to approve C20-2022-005a, Land Development Code Amendments with the following changes: • Implementation of Functional Green requirements will be deferred until such time as the Emergency Rules for the Environmental Criteria Manual is adopted to reflect the appropriate Criteria; • Allow boat dock access to remain within 50’ of the Lake as it relates to items 25-8-25 (B)(2), 25-8-27 (D)(2) • Under Section 25-8-64(E) for lots that cannot meet this criteria a mechanism to allow smaller units will be developed • Remove 25-8-213(A)(1) proposed changes • Clarify that the impervious cover limit in § 25-5-3 (B)(13)(b) is the impervious cover allowed by the zoning not to exceed 55%, Be it further resolved as Part of Phase 2 of Council initiated code updates that the following directions from the Council resolution be completed as soon as possible: • Require the environmental staff to work with Austin’s Equity Office to address inequities created by different rules for the Desired Development Zone and Critical Water Quality Zones such as Barton Springs; • Once the Affordability impact is determined any negative aspects will be counter balanced with incentives to ensure that there is no negative financial impact of these new requirements; • Recommend that all subdivisions and site plans in Urban Watersheds meet steep slope protections; and • Recommend new and redeveloped projects to use greenfield conditions as a baseline when calculating drainage requirements

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 …
