Good afternoon, Chairman Shaw and Commissioners – I am reaching out to ask that the Planning Commission postpone Item B-12 Flood Regulations to require that planning staff ensure 1. all federal and state floodplain management standards are met, 2. federal and state review procedures have been followed, 3. that the City will be fully compliant with all FEMA requirements so citizens can obtain federal flood insurance, and 4. to institutionally design governance checks and balances so that “director determination” does not risk establishing a de facto policy making process with a single point of influence. It is in all interests to postpone this proposed ordinance change to ensure engagement with all stakeholders and compliance with all federal and state regulations, statutes, and laws. Once finalized, outreach should be carried out to ensure that Austinites know LDC code changes will not put them in flooding danger or prevent them from buying affordable flood insurance. What is most troubling about this proposed ordinance change is Section A (1) and (2): § 25-7-93 GENERAL EXCEPTIONS. 4 (A) A development application with a proposed building or parking area that 5 encroaches on the 100-year floodplain may be approved if the encroachment is: (1) a parking area that is smaller than 5,000 square feet or an unoccupied structure that has an area of less than 1,000 square feet, and the director determines that the proposed development: (a) will not have an adverse effect on the 100-year floodplain or surrounding properties; and (b) otherwise complies with the requirements of this title; Without ensuring the first three concerns listed above are met, staff is not mitigating the peril that: • Austin will fail to meet FEMA requirements for citizens to be able to buy federally subsidized • Allow additional impervious cover that will potentially cause flooding downstream in the flood flood insurance, and plain. It was only last week that the proposed revised ordinance became available to the public. All that has been posted in Backup is last week’s ordinance draft and a slide deck. The slide deck makes no mention of carrying out policy analysis to ensure that concerns 1-3 above have been met. In the procedures followed section of the deck, there is no mention of when federal or state review will occur or recognition of federal and state stakeholders. There is no mention of SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) having been done, much …

For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, see the Case Manager Comments section of this report. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: June 28, 2022 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 28, 2022 ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of one platted lot, which is located near the middle of the block and currently zoned as general commercial services; family residence (CS; SF-3). The subject site is currently developed with a single-family residence, with a pergola and storage shed in the rear yard. Mary Street contains a broad range of residential and commercial uses, and intersects with a major arterial in South Lamar Boulevard to the west of the subject property. There are apartments to the west of the site (CS), a condominium community to the east and south, due to its unique lot shape (SF-6-CO), and an automotive repair use across the street (CS). Please refer to Exhibits A (Zoning Map) and A-1 (Aerial Exhibit). 1 of 9B-6 C14-2022-0057 Page 2 The applicant has requested family residence (SF-3) district zoning. Demolition of the existing structure has not been proposed at this time. The proposed rezoning would allow for the potential future development of one single-family residence, in addition to a second detached unit that would not exceed 1,100 square feet or a floor-to-area ratio of .15:1, whichever is smaller. The detached unit would be limited to two stories, or 30 feet, in height, and if a second story would be constructed for the unit, it would not be permitted to exceed 550 square feet in size. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses.
