Item 3.a.: Packet 1 - 2020 SCW Street Typology and Sections — original pdf
Notice: This Draft 2 (April 13, 2020) document is believed to be compete and accurate but may be subject to further modification before the Final Draft version is ready for adoption. The Final Draft version of this document will replace the 2016 SCW Appendices I: Street Sections. 2020 Update: SCW Street Typology and Sections (draft 2: April 13, 2020) The update was produced by PAZ staff in cooperation with Austin Transportation Department (ATD), Public Works Department (PWD), and the Capitol Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Capitol Metro). The update incorporates latest ATD policies and best practices, accommodates the Project Connect Blue Line, and integrates recommendations from the Congress Avenue Urban Design Initiative. Significance: 1. This document forms the basis for updating cost estimation for all SCW streets and streetscapes – both for construction of new streets and for upgrades to existing streets. These costs are reflected in the 2020 Update to the SCW Physical Framework and Project Cost Estimates. 2. This document is referenced in the pending SCW Regulating Plan to identify requirements for the location, type, and design of new streets on redeveloped properties and for upgrades to existing public streets adjacent to redeveloped properties.

Item 3.a.: Packet 2 - 2020 SCW Physical Framework and Project Cost Estimates — original pdf
Notice for Packet 2: This Draft 2 (May 18, 2020) document is believed to be nearly complete and accurate except one needed technical update. This update is not expected to affect the overall project cost, or only very insignificantly. A Final Draft version will be issues, ready for adoption. The Final Draft version of these two documents will replace the 2016 SCW Appendices II: Detailed Cost Estimates. 2020 Update: SCW Physical Framework & Project Cost Estimates (draft 2: May 18, 2020) This document provides an update to the 2016 SCW Physical Framework Plan, following exactly the arrangement of streets and open spaces as proposed in the 2016 Illustrative Plan. This direct translation of the 2016 plan provides a basis for comparing proposed future modifications to the physical framework to the original 2016 plan. The cost estimations cover all components of the SCW Physical Framework (2040 buildout) including utilities infrastructure; streets and streetscapes for both new streets and improvements to existing streets; and the open space system (i.e., parks, trails, plazas, and other open spaces). This work was accomplished accordingly: • • Open Space Designs: This update includes schematic designs for four key open spaces in the SCW Plan, including the Park @ the Statesman site, the Green Connector, Crockett Plaza, and the Bouldin Trail @ the Texas School for the Deaf. The schematic open space designs were produced by PAZ consultants1, with additional review by Watershed Protection Department (WPD), Park & Recreation Department (PARD), PWD and others. These schematic designs provide details for accurate preliminary cost estimation and provide a benchmark for evaluating open space proposals that may be submitted as part of a development proposal. Cost Estimate Database: This database provides estimated costs for the complete physical framework as envisioned in the SCW Plan for buildout on both private and public lands. A cost estimating consultant2 provided estimates for all open space components. PWD, with support from City departments, supplied all cost estimates for streets/streetscapes/utilities. All costs are integrated into a single interactive database, created by PWD and PAZ. The database provides depth details for quantities, specifications, and direct costs3 for all components of the physical framework. Additionally, the database provides a generator for adding indirect costs4 for either a privately-built or publicly-built project. Costs reflect January 2020 dollars for Austin construction; however, the database is interactive and can be adjusted to account for inflation, unit price fluctuations, and …
Item 3.a.: Packet 3 - 2020 SCW Buildout Scenarios for Financial Analysis — original pdf
Notice for Packet 3: This Draft 2 (May 18, 2020) document is believed to be nearly complete and accurate except for needed corrections for inputs regarding at least one of the “tipping parcels.” These corrections are being addressed but the corrections are not available at the issuing of Draft 2. However, these corrections are likely to affect the overall district buildout projections in this draft by less than 2%. A Final Draft version will be issued, ready for adoption. 2020 Buildout Scenarios for Financial Analysis (draft 2: May 18, 2020) Within the physical framework of blocks and green infrastructure, the SCW Plan modeled potential building developments on properties in the district. This exercise involved creating site-specific building designs (i.e. schematic building footprints, sections, and heights) on specific properties. This exercise was completed for “tipping parcels” – that is, parcels that were envisaged for redevelopment for the financial analysis. When this original work was done in 2015-16, tipping parcels were determined by (1) evaluating likelihood of redeveloping within the next twenty years, based on land value to building value; (2) age of current development; and (3) owner’s willingness in having their property evaluated. In the 2016 and the 2020 Update Buildout scenarios, ten properties 1 were designated as “tipping properties,” collectively representing about half of the gross acreage of all private properties in the SCW district. For tipping parcels, a future potential development proposal was modeled with a site -specific building footprint, with an assumed potential building height, massing and program of uses (i.e., square feet of Office, Retail, Residential, Hotel), as well as a calculation to assign a parking requirement. Site-specific schematic designs included accommodating the parking demand, schematically designed in a combination of podium and below grade structures. The Buildout Scenarios are a key input into developing site-specific proforma analysis to test the financial feasibility of potential developments. Three Buildout Scenarios have been modeled: 2020 Update: SCW Plan Buildout: This is identical to the 2016 Buildout except that the 2016 Buildout factored in two future buildings that are entitled under existing Planned Unit Development (PUD) agreements. In the 2016 analysis, the buildout scenarios for parcels were incorporated into a proforma spreadsheet analysis to test the financial feasibility of a development on a property. In this new deliverable, the 2020 Update takes the 2016 buildout information only, minus the PUD properties, and consolidated it into a simpler table. The …
Item 3.a.: Packet 4 - SCW Physical Framework Funding Sources — original pdf
Notice for Packet 4: This Draft 2 (May 18, 2020) document is believed to be nearly complete and accurate except for needed corrections to update the Buildout Scenarios input (See notice for Packet 3). Once the updates to the Building Scenarios are complete, the corrected inputs to this document can be finalized. The impact of these pending corrections/additions should not change the overall district costs. Instead, these updates will change the calculation for impact fees associated with two “tippin g parcels.1” Although these needed adjustments may have noteworthy impacts to the individual parcel calculations , these adjustments should have minor impacts to the districtwide Baseline Development (i.e., impact fees) that are part of this document. Nonetheless, staff will make needed corrections and issue a Final Draft of this document in time for the June SCWAB meeting. PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK FUNDING SOURCES This new single-source document consolidates and refines information that was previously embedded in the Physical Framework and Project Costs Estimates. To provide more clarity and functionality, this new document draws from information that has now been updated in Draft 2 of the Physical Framework and Project Costs Estimates spreadsheets, and Draft 2 of the SCW Buildout Scenario for Financial Analysis spreadsheets. Using information linked to those sources, this new document does two things: (1) It tabulates all Physical Framework and Project Costs for the full district, and (2) It identifies potential sources of funding for addressing those costs. Drawing from the Physical Framework and Project Cost Estimates spreadsheets, this new document tabulates potential funding that has been identified as within existing Capital Improvement Programs (CIP) and estimates from what utilities might contribute for service extensions. What is new in this document is how the contributions from “Baseline Development” are calculated. For this document, “Baseline Development” are costs that new development might be expected to cover through contributions, either in-kind or in fee, for Physical Framework improvements in the district. Baseline Development is a contribution that would be expected before consideration of “Bonus Fee” requirements. What is new in this document is how Baseline Development contributions are calculated. This document uses existing and pending City policy and methodology to calculate impact fees. Staff has coordinated with the following City departments to estimates impact fees as follows: Coordinated with Austin Transportation Department (ATD) to use the methodology from the Street Impact Fee Study Report to calculate the developer’s baseline contribution (before-bonus …

Draft 1: 2016 SCW Physical Framework Map. Key Map showing 2016 SCW Plan’s Street Classification, Project Costs, and Buildout for Financial Analysis. The 2016 SCW Plan contained four separate key maps, one each for (1) Property Ownership; (2) Street Classification; (3) District Project Costs; and (4) Property Buildout Scenarios. All of these factors are interrelated, and the multiple key map system created confusion and mistakes with linking information from one set of data (e.g., the cost of a street segment) to another set of data (e.g., associated cost of a street segment to a particular buildout scenario). The 2020 Update of the 2016 SCW Physical Framework Map attached herein combines reference keys to all the above factors and applies a consistent identification system. This new map is especially important to the overall 2020 update, allowing for linkage between the spreadsheets/databases associated with SCW Physical Framework Project Costs and the SCW Financial Framework spreadsheets/databases under development. 2.a.ii.

Item 2.c._2020 Update Report on SCW Modified Physical Framework & Project Costs — original pdf
DRAFT South Central Waterfront Advisory Board Meeting March 16, 2020 Agenda Item 2.c. - 2020 Update Report on SCW Plan’s Modified Physical Framework & Project Costs South Central Waterfront 2.c. Staff Note - 2020 SCW Modified Physical Framework: Map & Project Costs Updated: March 12, 2020 This packet contains two items, 2.c.i. & 2.c.ii.: 2.c.i. DRAFT 1: 2020 SCW Modified Physical Framework Map. The 2020 SCW Modified Physical Framework Map is identical to the 2016 SCW Physical Framework Map, EXCEPT for the layout of streets, parks and open spaces on the two largest properties in the district: the “Statesman” (property owner 22, @ nearly 19 acres) and the “Crockett” (property owner 23, @ approximately 12 acres). ○ Here are the differences between the two maps: i. ii. i. On the 2016 SCW Physical Framework Map, the street/block configuration on the Statesman & Crockett properties has the East Barton Springs Road located partially on the Statesman site (approximately 40% of the new road) and partially on the Crockett site (approximately 60%), with a rational street/block structure branching off from that “spine” street to the south on Crockett and to the north on Statesman. On the 2020 SCW Modified Physical Framework Map, the East Barton Springs road is shown wholly on the Statesman property (except for the southern sidewalk, which would be built on the Crockett property at some point). The corresponding street/block structures that build off that “spine” street to the Statesman north of East Barton Springs and Crockett south of East Barton Springs are reconfigured from how they’re shown on the 2016 SCW Physical Framework Map, to respond to the new location of East Barton Springs. ○ Intention of the SCW Plan: Collectively, these two properties now form a 30-acre superblock of mostly surface parking. Together, they offer an opportunity to introduce a new, connected street grid and connected open space system that can transform the character of the district with a walkable, transit-friendly, human-scaled public realm framework. To best set this framework in place, the 2016 SCW Physical Framework Plan envisioned that the key community-contributing east-west street, East Barton Springs, would be built across two properties (Statesman and Crockett), from South Congress Avenue to the properties’ eastern boundary (approximately 1,000 feet long). The eastern end of East Barton Spring would then join a new connector, Moton Lane, which would link to the intersection on East Riverside Drive. Moton Lane …

Building Key – Endeavor Plan with SCW Building Heights 2.d.ii SCW Buildout Scenarios PUD proposal with notation showing the revised building heights, based on the 2016 SCW Plan Document outlining the uses and square footages associated with three scenarios DRAFT DRAFT RELEASE: March 12, 2020 Draft 1: 2020 Buildout Scenarios for Financial Analysis This packet contains two items: 1) Building Key – Endeavor Plan with SCW Building Heights a. Within the physical framework of blocks and green infrastructure, the SCW Plan modeled potential building developments on development parcels. This exercise involves creating site-specific schematic building designs to create Buildout Scenarios. Each Buildout Scenario models a building height, massing and program of uses (square feet of Office, Retail, Residential, Hotel), as well as calculate the required parking and accommodating the parking demand in the schematic design (i.e., schematic design of parking structures, in podium and below grade). i. The 2016 SCW Financial Framework Plan modeled schematic Buildout Scenarios on the “tipping parcels.” The Updated 2016 SCW Physical Framework Map keys in these individual Buildout Scenarios, which are identified on the map on top of the schematic building plans. As part of the work underway with CoA consultants (ECONorthwest), the 2016 Buildout Scenario is being updated with revised inputs (Physical Framework Costs, Development Assumptions, etc). ii. In addition to updating the proforma analysis of the 2016 Buildout Scenarios, the CoA consultants are also running an analysis of the Buildout Scenario as proposed by the PUD proposal. Simply, the PUD proposal differs from the 2016 Plan in three ways: 1. 90% of the parking is put in underground parking structures, as opposed to the 2016 SCW Plan which put approximately 25% parking underground, with 75% parking in podiums approximately 60’ high. Placing 90% of parking underground provides for superior urban design, but it is much more expensive than the more typical practice of using a combination of podium parking with some underground parking. 2. The PUD proposal takes their building heights above those as modeled in the SCW Plan. 3. The PUD proposal increases the uses to 3.5 M square feet, as opposed to 2.1 M square feet as modeled in the 2016 SCW …
