CODE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C02-2021-006 Amending Title 25-2(E) 4.3 Vertical Mixed-Use Buildings Description: In response to adopted direction from both the Planning Commission and the City Council, amend certain provisions in City Code related to the voluntary density bonus known as the Vertical Mixed-Use (VMU) program. • Create a new tier in the VMU program that grants up to 30 feet of additional bonus height in exchange for Affordable Housing Community Benefits. • Refine requirements for developments that participate in the VMU program including affordability requirements and general provisions to affirmatively further Fair Housing and inclusion. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of this amendment. This amendment is supported by adopted policy direction in the Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint as well as the Displacement Mitigation Strategy and the City of Austin’s Fair Housing Action Plan. Board and Commission Actions Code amendment initiated by the Planning Commission on July 27, 2021. Code amendments initiated by the Planning Commission on March 8, 2022. City Council Action Resolution No. 20211118-052 initiated by the City Council on November 18, 2021.

Staff Recommendation Set-Aside Rates and Affordability Levels Staff recommends offering two options for the set-aside rate in the new tier of the VMU program (VMU2) that corresponds to affordability depth or the provision of onsite income-restricted housing. For rental developments, twelve percent of the units should be set-aside as income-restricted to households earning no more than 60% of the Austin- Round Rock MSA Median Family Income or ten percent of the units should be set-aside as income-restricted to households earning no more than 50% of the Austin-Round Rock MSA Median Family Income. For ownership developments, twelve percent of the units should be set-aside as income-restricted to households earning no more than 80% of the Austin-Round Rock MSA Median Family Income or the corresponding value of twelve percent of the units should be paid as a fee in-lieu of onsite income-restricted units. A summary of the staff recommendation for affordability requirements in the Vertical Mixed-Use program is shown in the table below. Amendments to the current code provisions …
