PROPOSED CHANGES TO ARTICLE 14 (PARKLAND DEDICATION) ADDING COMMERCIAL PARKLAND DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS DRAFT SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL CHANGES VERSION TWO ARTICLE 14. PARKLAND DEDICATION.1 § 25-1-601 GENERAL PROVISIONS. (A) The City of Austin has determined that recreational areas in the form of public parks are necessary for the well-being of residents and employees. The City has further determined that the approval of new residential and commercial development is reasonably related to the need for additional parkland and park amenities to serve new development. This article establishes a fair method for determining parkland dedication, or the payment of a fee in-lieu of dedication, to be required as a condition to the approval of new development in an amount proportionate to the impact of development on existing parks and established levels of service. (B) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the parkland dedication requirements of this article apply to: (1) a residential and commercial subdivision within the planning jurisdiction; a site plan within the zoning jurisdiction that includes residential units or commercial square footage [a hotel-motel use]; and a [residential]building permit for residential and commercial development, as provided under Section 25-1-608 (Dedication of Land or Payment In-Lieu at Building Permit). (C) The following are exempt from the requirements of this article: a subdivision or site plan for which parkland was previously dedicated or payment made under this title, except for the dwelling units or commercial square footage [lots] that exceed the number for which dedication or payment was made; (2) development within the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction that is within Travis County and governed by Title 30 (Austin/Travis County Subdivision Regulations); and (3) affordable dwelling units that are certified under the S.M.A.R.T. Housing Policy approved by the city council. (2) (3) (1) (D) The following definitions apply throughout this article: (1) ANNUAL OCCUPANCY RATE means the hotel-motel occupancy rate for the City of Austin, as reported annually by the Texas Economic Development & Tourism Office. (2) COMMERCIAL OCCUPANCY RATE means the City of Austin’s current commercial occupancy rate as determined annually by the director annually using the most recent data from the Austin Chamber of Commerce or a comparable source if deemed appropriate by the director. (3) COMMUTER POPULATION PERCENTAGE means the percentage of employees who live outside the City of Austin’s corporate limits, as determined by the most recent United States Census. 1Editor's note(s)—Ord.

Vesting fees to SDP submittal would require City Council to add language to the budget adoption ordinance. Part 3 of the adopting ordinance language below would need to be modified. Neutral - This has a minimal impact on the outcomes of the ordinance, but may open the ordinance to increased legal scrutiny as not all developments are treated equally, unless it can be shown that there is no impact on parkland by new commercial development less than 5,000 sq ft. Would likely also exempt any commercial space proposed with VMU developments as well as most fast-food chains (average McDonalds is 4,000 sq ft, average Chipotle is 2,580 sq ft). Exemption would not apply if critical connection or greenbelt gap is identified on site. Staff recommends tying the minimum requirement to the functional population, so if a commercial development was small enough to produce less than 1 whole functional population, it would be exempt (4,256 sq ft for retail) Neutral - This has a minimal impact on the outcomes of the ordinance, but may open the ordinance to increased legal scrutiny as not all developments are treated equally, unless it can …
August 9, 2022 Planning Commission Question and Answer Report Item 10 Question Thompson: One of the questions I had during our last hearing was about the number of reverse commuters, people who live in Austin but work in a neighboring community. Staff said they didn’t have the answer but would have the data by our next meeting. Staff responded to some of the questions in our last hearing including some of mine, but there response was more about why the data was unnecessary in their thinking. I just wanted to follow up and make sure that staff would have the data before our next meeting. Staff Response: According to the American Community Survey data, there are 73,792 workers living in Austin and working outside of Austin. These workers would be residents of Austin, with access to Austin’s park system and addressed through residential requirements. The number of employees working in Austin (those residing in the city and outside) according to the same survey is 747,394, however, the 73,792 is not part of that sum, since they work outside of Austin. They are counted as residents. The use of other jurisdictions’ park systems by those workers during their workday is not something we can affect. Note that Hutto, for example, also has a commercial parkland dedication requirement.
