The URP’s original conceptual approaches and strategies for the entire Central East Austin area were defined as part of the Central East Austin Master Plan (“Master Plan”) prepared in January 1999, by representative members and organizations of the Central East Austin community with the professional and technical assistance of the Crane Urban Design Team and the Austin Revitalization Authority (ARA). Two critical Subareas of the Master Plan are the East 11th and 12th Street Corridors, which were identified to be the location of much of the new commercial/office redevelopment called for in the Master Plan. In November 1997, Thethe City of Austin (City) declared this area to be slum and blighted and designated these corridors as appropriate for an urban renewal project. Under Chapter 374, of the Texas Local Government Code, the Urban Renewal Agency (URA) and the City are granted a series of redevelopment roles and responsibilities regarding urban renewal areas including approval of projects for compliance with an urban renewal plan and the use of eminent domain powers. As originally adopted in 1999, the URP was intended to identify and implement mechanisms to eliminate the negative forces of urban blight, distress and impaired development within the area and to pursue a fresh, self-determined vision of Central East Austin as a self- sustaining, progressive community for the 21st century. The overall goals and action priorities of this URP reflected a broad consensus of residents, businesses, property owners, institutions, and community activists. This consensus was the result of substantial cumulative planning and revitalization efforts over a period of three years and has been reconsidered and reestablished through this updated URP. This East 11th and 12th Streets Urban Renewal Plan (URP) defines specific redevelopment projects Page 4 and associated regulatory controls intended to assure quality, compatible, mixed-use development along these critical commercial arteries. The redevelopment process has been guided by the Urban Renewal AgencyURA consistent with state law, the Master Plan, the URP, and a Development Agreement that was negotiated between the City, URA, and the Austin Revitalization Authority (ARA). In ____, the City, the URA and the ARA The parties entered into an Acquisition, Development and Loan Agreement (commonly referred to as the “Tri-Party Agreement”) that identified the roles and responsibilities of the City, URA and the ARA as it related to the redevelopment activities of the URP area. This agreement expired in September 30, 2010. The City, in partnership with the URA, is now carrying out the redevelopment activities called for under the URP. Since the adoption of the 1999 Plan, the following has been accomplished: Historic Preservation ◼ Haehnal Building located at 1101 East 11th Street ◼ Arnold Bakery located at 1010 East 11th Street ◼ Chapman House located at 901 East 12th Street ◼ Connelly-Yerwood House, a.k.a., the Pink House located at 1115 East 12th Street ◼ Dedrick-Hamilton House located at 912 East 11th Street: This house along with the African American Cultural and Heritage Facility are the flagship buildings for the African American Cultural and Heritage District. ◼ Travis County Negro Agricultural Extension Office (a.k.a., Herman-Schieffer House and/or East Room) located at 1154 Lydia Street Infrastructure Improvements – East 11th Street ◼ Upgraded the water and wastewater lines on East 11th and Juniper sstreets ◼ Converted utility and telecommunication lines from overhead to underground Transportation and Streetscape Improvements – East 11th Street ◼ Completed streetscaping beautification project including widening of sidewalks, installing decorative light posts, the 11th Street Archway and the Dr. Charles Urdy Plaza that includes a clock tower and a tile mosaic art wall. ◼ Completed construction of a 10-space community parking facility at 1205 E 11th Street ◼ Completed construction of a 20-space community parking facility at 1400 E 12th Street Residential Development – East 11th Street ◼ Juniper Townhomes – Located on the south side of the 1000 Block of East 11th Street, between Curve Street and Olive Street.

Numerous vacant parcels and/or vacant buildings still exist in the URP area, and the East 11th and 12th Street corridors still remain underutilized and somewhat inconsistent with the community vision. In December 2018, and in support of the URP, the Austin City Council extended the Urban Renewal Plan’s expiration date until 2024 with a five-year evaluation to determine the continued need for the Urban Renewal Plan and the Urban Renewal Agency. 1.0 Definitions The following definitions are offered for clarification of the planning intent of subsections of the Urban Renewal Plan: 1.

This URP East 11th and 12th Streets Urban Renewal Plan (“URP"sometimes also referred to as the East 11th and 12th Streets Community Redevelopment Plan or “CRP”), is a comprehensive technical document defining the official public policy guidelines of the City of Austin (City) for the conduct of public and private redevelopment actions of the East 11th and 12th Streets Urban Renewal Area in compliance with Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 374. As such, this document also represents the official redevelopment policy guidelines of the Central East Austin community and provides for a continual mechanism for community-based participation in the ongoing implementation of all redevelopment actions along these commercial corridors. As originally adopted in 1999, Thethe URP is was intended to identify and implement mechanisms to Commented [HS9]: Moved to Page 3, History Commented [HS10]: Per Commissioner Pearce delete Page 10 Commented [HS11]: Moved to Page 3, History eliminate the negative forces of urban blight, distress and impaired development within the area and to pursue a fresh, self-determined vision of Central East Austin as a self-sustaining, progressive community for the 21st century. The overall goals and action priorities of this the original URP reflected a broad consensus of residents, businesses, property owners, institutions, and community activists. This consensus is was the result of substantial cumulative planning and revitalization efforts over a period of three years, and has been reconsidered and reestablished through this updated URP. The fundamental purpose of this plan isthe URP was, and remains, to empower community-based groups and individuals to participate as strong and equal partners of the City and the URA in carrying out all of the action programs and public and private improvements which will result in the realization of Austin's long-term community vision. Authority Under Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 374, Urban Renewal in Municipalities, upon the completion, adoption and recordation of the URP, the Urban Renewal AgencyURA gains the authority to apply special urban renewal powers and tools to address existing "slum" and/or "blight" conditions which have been found to threaten the public safety, health, and welfare, and which act as impediments to sound private investment, stable property values, and viable conditions for rendering public services. This urban renewal authorityURA and the public purposes it fulfills, extend well beyond the levels of public intervention that can occur through normal City development regulations, housing and community development assistance, or capital improvement programs. The following is a summary listing of typical local government tools and tactics that are widely employed in responsive, preservation-oriented redevelopment implementation strategies in many local jurisdictions throughout the United States: a. Urban renewal plan/development controls: These may include: areas within the redevelopment area that are set up as zoning districts; reducing land uses that are incompatible with the accepted development standards; restriction of parking and access to properties; guidelines which restrict design within the development area; and project review and approval procedures. a. Under Texas Local Government Code, Section 374.014(f), the adopted urban renewal plan controls the land use and building requirements applicable to properties within an urban renewal area. If the Urban Renewal Plan is silent to provisions found in other adopted codes, ordinances or regulations of the City of Austin, those development regulations shall control. Where there is conflict between the Urban Renewal Plan provisions found in other adopted codes, ordinances or regulations of the City of Austin, the Urban Renewal Plan shall control. b. Public improvements and area redevelopment financing: A varied range of tax-exempt public and private financing mechanisms can be devised to support infrastructure and public facility improvements, property acquisition, site preparation, and other temporary or Commented [HS12]: URB attorney will need to review this proposed language. Page 11 permanent redevelopment costs. Examples include Section 108 loan funds; G.O. Bonds; and tax-exempt revenue bonds. c. Special private development incentives: These may include financing, tax, and regulatory incentives linked with economic development, affordable housing, historic preservation and other public contributions keyed to revitalization of a blighted area. The Austin Central Urban Redevelopment Combining District (CURE) program was a zoning program that relaxes some of the normal zoning requirements and allows the waiver of some development fees. The Neighborhood Conservation Combining District (NCCD) is a zoning overlay that modifies zoning requirements in a specific area. d. Property acquisition for public and private re-use sites: This tool includes options for public acquisition for fair market value (FMV) by negotiated or eminent domain procedures. Special provisions can be designed to encourage private land assembly and/or development project participation by existing property owners and other community-based interests. e. Property disposition and long-term covenants: Orderly processes of project construction and long-term use agreements can be tailored to circumstances of any project where public development assistance is provided. The URA desires to continue the consideration of the use of all of these tools, and others, in achieving the objectives of this URP. Scope 2.0 THE URP ILLUSTRATIVE SITE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS DESIGN PLAN The formal boundaries of the East 11th and 12th Streets Urban Renewal Area (UR Area) are set forth in Exhibit A and the ordinance approving this URP. In general, the boundaries are: The East 11th Street Corridor, including properties within one-half block of the north frontage of East 11th and south frontage of Juniper Street, from Branch Street on the west to Navasota Street on the east; and properties within one-half block of the south frontage of East 11th, from San Marcos Street on the west to Navasota Street on the east. The East 12th Street Corridor, including properties within one-half block of the north frontage of East 12th Street between the IH-35 Northbound Frontage Road on the west to Poquito Street on the east; and properties within one-half block of the south frontage of East 12th Street between Branch Street on the west to Poquito Street on the east. Figures 4-2 and 4-3 illustrate proposed overall development concepts for both the East 11th and 12th Street Corridors. Effort was made to group like uses into "nodes" of complimentary development Page 12 Commented [HS13]: Needs to be defined, perhaps there is language in the COA agreement with that will help. From Darrell Pierce that could benefit from economies of scale and proximity, such as a series of complimentary restaurants. The previous version of the URP envisioned East 11th Street has been was conceptualized as a place for higher-intensity, mixed-use development, In this way, where new development can could build on the historical strengths of the corridor for the creation of a dynamic entertainment/retail/housing area. The north side of East 11th Street, with its initial abundance of vacant land and land in public/quasi-public ownership, offersed opportunity for new development of entire blocks and the benefit of locating cooperative parking to the rear of new establishments to further enhance the pedestrian-friendly nature of the East 11th Street area. This included potential hubs and mixed-use developments for restaurants, nightclubs, clothing stores, antique stores, bookstores, coffeehouses, live-work offices and studios, and other uses. Formatted: Not Strikethrough The East 11th street corridor has been largely developed since the date of the previous version of the URP, but this URP continues to view this corridor as being appropriate for such developments. Formatted: Not Strikethrough In particular, the blocks between Curve Street and Lydia Street, are were considered to be the logical location for an entertainment/retail node of restaurants, nightclubs, clothing stores, and antique stores that may could draw from a large consumer base as a primary entertainment destination. Complementing this node is a series of live-work offices and studios geared towards the entertainment/visual arts/performing arts communities. Potential new developments in this area, on the south side of 11th Street between Waller Street and Lydia Street, could include photography studios and recording studios. On the westernmost portion of East 11th Street, physical topography and market demands are such that opportunities exist for development of mixed-use retail and housing on the north and south side of the street. New development could include bookstores, eateries, coffeehouses, and other like uses on the ground floor, with two stories of housing units above. The other end of 11th Street, near Navasota Street, serves as an eastern gateway into the East 11th Street corridor. Already, a smaller-scaled office and retail node has begun to develop in this area, with several opportunities for further office/retail development. In contrast, East 12th Street has been conceived as was considered to be a more residentially- compatible opportunity for neighborhood-based retail, small-scale offices, and housing. Consistency with existing housing is was of primary importance, and desired uses and development included . All efforts should be made to rehabilitate owner-occupied housing, when it is the owner's wish and it is economically feasible. The design of the corridor includes efforts aimed at maintaining existing setbacks, street greenways, and architectural detail. Examples of potential development include doctors and lawyer's professional offices, a laundry, convenience stores, bed and breakfasts, duplexes, and townhomes. The expressed community desire includes included encouraging as much retail development as possible along East 12th Street. To address market questions pertaining to the magnitude of new retail that can be supported - even within a revitalized study area - most development areas along East 12th Street contain flexible controls to allow for commercial Page 13 development of a certain character as market forces allow. Specifically prohibited, however, are new liquor stores and automotive-related uses. Formatted: Not Strikethrough The areas located in close proximity to Downtown, the State Capitol, and the University of Texas represent the greatest opportunities for office development. In addition, the Anderson CDC has acquired several properties on the south side of East 12th Street between Curve and Navasota and on the north side of 12th Street near Chicon for the construction of new townhomes. There are planned renovations to the existing Marshall Arms Apartments near the intersection of 12th and Chicon Street. Remaining project areas are directed towards small-scale retail establishments and/or duplexes and quadraplexes complementary to existing housing. The East 12th corridor has seen some smaller developments since the date of the previous version of the URP, but remains largely undeveloped. While the desire for consistent and compatible uses remains very high, some revisions to URP development controls were needed to encourage development while respecting the community vision for the corridor. Since the time of the previous version of the URP, the URP was modified to include a number of specific developmental controls and restrictions standards. Thoese are incorporated below. A. (Added/Amended 2005) General Note Regarding Height, Parking, Compatibility and Impervious Cover Restrictions of the CRP and the creation of sub-district boundaries on East 12th Street (sub-district boundaries are described in Figure 4-3a as follows: 1.

Parking Garages for East 12th Street (Amended 2008) Page 14 Formatted: Not Strikethrough Formatted: Superscript i. ii. iii. iv. v. All property owners that front both East12th Street and a side street must use the side street for the ingress/egress of the parking structure, unless determined by the City of Austin to be infeasible or undesirable. For structures of two (2) stories but less than 30 feet in height, such structures must have complete shielding on the rear side of the structure and the adjacent rear-most fifty percent (50%) of the side walls adjoining such rear wall. Lights shall not be directed nor shall any light splash towards any rear adjacent properties. Overnight parking is limited to residents and their overnight guests. For structures of two (2) stories but less than 30’ in height, such structures must have 75% of ground floor front footage which fronts E. 12th Street must be pedestrian oriented use. There is a 15-foor minimum depth requirement for all pedestrian-oriented spaces. In the event that ingress/egress fronts such public streets, the amount of footage taken up by ingress/egress must be rotated around building so that 75% requirement is met. Example is a 100’ by 100’ garage at corner of Waller and E. 12th Street. Developer proposes to have ingress/egress facing E. 12th Street, which has a 30’ width. Developer shall have satisfied this requirement if Developer provides 75% of total front footage of a pedestrian oriented use, meaning an additional 5’ of frontage on Waller. Structural pillars only are allowed to decrease the total requirement of 75’. For structures 30’ in height or greater, such structures must have complete shielding on the rear side of the structure and the adjacent rear-most fifty percent (50%) of the side walls adjoining such rear wall.

There is a 15-foot depth requirement for all pedestrian oriented spaces. In the event that ingress/egress fronts such public street the amount of footage taken up by ingress/egress must be rotated around building so that the 100% requirement is met. Example is a 100’ by 100; garage at corner of Waller and E. 12th Street. Developer proposes to have ingress/egress facing E. 12th Street, which has a 30’ width. Developer must provide the 30’ pedestrian oriented use on either Waller, the west side facing toward I-35 or towards the alley, so that there is a total front footage of 100’ of a pedestrian oriented use. Structural pillars only are allowed to decrease the total requirement of 100’. Page 15 3.

INSERT REVISED 11TH STREET NCCD MAP The previous version of the URP contained a number of distinct project areas that contained a near lot-by-lot description of development controls, including depictions referred to as “tear sheets” that among other things narrowly described the potential uses of a particular project area or lot. It has been determined that this lot-level of developmental control was far too limiting and confusing, and did not encourage development of the URP area. In addition, at the time of the writing of this URP, Page 16 3.0 SUMMARY OF URP PROJECTSAPPLICABILITY OF NCCD CONTROLS Formatted: Not Strikethrough, Highlight Formatted: Not Strikethrough, Highlight Formatted: Not Strikethrough, Highlight overlapping developmental controls known as Neighborhood Combining Conservation Districts (NCCDs) are also being modified and updated in consultation with the URA and with local stakeholders. By streamlining the developmental controls under this URP to refer primarily to the NCCDs, the community vision and community input into development will be preserved, while greatly simplifying the process for interested parties to determine what uses and development are permissible throughout the URP area, and for any particular project area or lot. The Neighborhood Conservation Combining District (NCCD) modifies use and site development regulations of a base district located in the NCCD in accordance with a neighborhood plan. The following figure (Figure X-X) depict each of the twenty-two (22) distinct project areas in the URP area, and contain references to the East 11th and East 12th NCCDs, which describe the primary development controls applicable to each of the project areas. To further develop project controls and regulatory changes, the East 11th and 12th Streets UR Area is divided into (22) distinct project areas for description (Figure 4-4). Redevelopment Project Controls include a general description of each project area, its size, the type and quantity of new development, and necessary demolitions and relocations if applicable. UR Area program targets for each individual redevelopment project areas are profiled in Figures 4-5 through 4-26. These redevelopment project controls are intended as the primary regulatory controls for the East 11th and 12th Streets UR Area and will guide all formal URP procedures for property acquisition, disposition, and development (Redevelopment Project Controls). The illustrative portion of the Design Site Plans ("tear sheets") included in Figs. 4-5 thru 4-26 are strictly conceptual, while the project controls must be followed unless waivers or amendments are granted. The Redevelopment Project Controls annunciated for each project should provide substantial direction to prospective developers when conceiving projects for the East 11th and 12th Streets UR Area. The Project Controls are subject to changing market and financial feasibility. Figures 4-1, 4-2 and 4-3 and Tables 4-1 and 4-2 will be deleted, as they are obsolete.

Part and parcel of such traditional notions of mixed-use, sustainable development is the importance it places on the public environment, particularly the pedestrian and transit environment. Currently local bus service is provided to the UR Area by Capitol Metro and two possible future light rail transit lines are being researched in the study area proximity. Within the redevelopment areas along East 11th & 12th Streets, there are several necessary public improvements. To help accommodate potential future transit enhancements and create an attractive pedestrian environment, attention should be paid to improving the public infrastructure, particularly sidewalks, street lights, and landscaping along East 11th and 12th Streets as well as likely routes from the UR Area to potential light rail stations. In the Fall of 1998, Capitol Metro began design work on streetscape improvements for East 11th Street under the Livable Communities initiative. This work is planned to include new sidewalks, streetlights, landscaping, bus stops, and gateways for this critical corridor. Similar work in upgrading sidewalks, landscaping, and lighting is also needed on East 12th Street. To enhance the pedestrian environment and to provide public open space within what is hoped to be a very active entertainment/retail area, a small new open space is proposed to be developed. This open space, to be developed directly west of Shorty's Bar, could be developed in conjunction with re-use of the historic Bailetti House (see Figures 4-7 and 4-8). In addition, the planned development along East 11th Street seeks to draw consumers from the greater Austin area, particularly the office/residential communities located in and around Downtown. Therefore, establishment of a rubber-based downtown shuttle could prove critical in linking the East 11th/ 12 UR Area with potential commercial consumers. th Streets 5.0 URP RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN 4.0 LAND USE Permitted, Conditional and Prohibited Uses The attached Exhibit’s XXXX, will be the Permitted, Conditional and Prohibited Uses within the UR area, as amended.

For all properties within the UR area that are not listed as a “save and except” will be considered nonconforming uses or noncomplying structures and shall be subject to Article 7, Nonconforming Uses and Article 8, Noncomplying Structures in the City of Austin’s Land Development Code Sections 25-2-941 through 25-2-964, as amended. 5.0 RELOCATION OF PERSONS, BUSINESSES (INCLUDING INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES), BUSINESS CONCERNS, AND OTHERS DISPLACED BY THE PROJECT If the URA receives Federal funds for real estate acquisition and relocation, the URA shall comply with 24 C.F.R. Part 42, implementing the Uniform Relocation and Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended. The URA may also undertake relocation activities for those not entitled to benefit under federal law, as the URA may deem appropriate for which funds are available. Persons leasing property held for redevelopment (i.e., those tenants who commence tenancy after acquisition by the URA) shall not be eligible for relocation benefits. In the event the URA activities directly result in the displacement of families within the Area, the URA shall relocate such displaced families into decent, safe, and sanitary dwelling accommodations without undue hardship to such families as required by law. For any other activity, the URA will comply with the provisions of the Law regarding relocation. The URA reserves the right to extend benefits for relocation to those not otherwise entitled to relocation benefits as provided under the Act or the Law. All relocation activities of the URA will be conducted by the City of Austin. This Relocation Assistance Plan addresses important requirements governing urban redevelopment, City policies for minimizing permanent displacement of neighborhood residents, and standards for the use of federal funds for redevelopment activities. This section defines policies and standards of relocation assistance benefits for displaced residents and businesses and outlines procedures for delivering equitable relocation services. This discussion also offers a preliminary forecast of relocation workloads and costs and provides guidelines for determining actual needs and preferences of displaced parties. Relocation estimates are directly related to the proposed disposition re-uses as defined in the URP Renewal Project Areas (Figures 4-5 through 4-26). All relocation benefit standards and procedures for determination of relocation needs and eligibility will comply with federal administrative guidelines for implementing the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended. The most current administrative guidelines applicable to federally assisted programs are identified in 49 CFR Part 24, issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation, March 2, 1989, and adopted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for all HUD-assisted community development and housing activities. Although standards of relocation benefits prescribed in these guidelines are higher than most state and local government relocation policies, adoption of these standards will protect access to federal funding for URP implementation. To promote private reinvestment, the costs of providing relocation benefits and services will usually be supported with public funds to the extent of availability. However, the responsibilities for providing Page 58 timely, consistent and equitable treatment to impacted households or businesses will be shared by any private property owners, redevelopers, and/or community-based developers that participate in redevelopment projects assisted by public actions. A. Business Relocation Needs A preliminary estimate of the numbers and sizes of existing businesses which may eventually be displaced by proposed redevelopment actions, are shown in Table 4-3. This includes 15,700 square feet of commercial space. Demolition estimates are based on surveys of external building conditions and occupancy levels and balanced against future development possibilities. More detailed interior code inspections of structures and surveys of business tenants, prior to implementation of physical improvement programs, will be required to refine this information as well as the estimated costs. Business relocation benefits and moving cost estimates are based on an assumed average of $7.50 per square feet of space; the eligible costs will be refined on the basis of further surveys. This Relocation Assistance Plan is based on the practical recognition that replacement facility and moving expense benefits allowed under federal guidelines are insufficient to compensate marginal small businesses for the hardships of relocation. Administration of business relocation benefits and services must be closely coordinated with other publicly assisted economic development and small business financing assistance, i.e., to provide feasible conditions for retention and improvement of existing businesses. The following types of relocation and improvement options may be offered to displaced business enterprises. • Owners of obsolescent or inappropriately located businesses may phase out existing activities and/or sites and initiate new enterprises which are consistent with current market needs of the neighborhood. This option will require access to decent/affordable alternative space within the target area, access to venture capital beyond the dollar amounts of the relocation benefit, and business management and technical assistance. • Owners of more viable enterprises may relocate in the target area as prime tenants or as principa.ls in publicly assisted private redevelopment projects. This option will require adequate lead-time for replacement facilities preparation as well as for the varied forms of economic development assistance. Business owners may choose to move out of East Austin if more suitable market, sites, and facility • conditions for the particular enterprise can be identified. • Total estimated business demolition costs are $39,200, with an associated relocation assistance impact totaling $117,750. It is assumed that the cost of demolition will be borne privately through the cost of new development on the site, while relocation assistance costs will be supported completely by the public sector. These amounts of public and private expenditures are quite reasonable in terms of the projected net growth of new development: Table 4-4 Estimated Demolition and Relocation Assistance Page 59 DEMOLITION & RELOCATION ACTIONS CRP CORRIDORS COSTS 11th STRE ET 12th STRE ET TOT AL R E P T S O C T I N U O I T A C O L E R S T I F E N E B N T S O C L A T O T DEMOLITION COMPONENTS Demolition Cost RESIDENTIAL Units or square feet SINGLE HOUSING FAMILY MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING 9 2 7 16 NA $72,000 16 18 NA $63,000 $4,5 00 $3,5 00 SUBTOTAL 11 23 34 NON-RESIDENTIAL 5,100 $2 NA $39,200 14,50 0 19,60 0 TOTAL DEMOLITION $174,20 0 RELOCATION IMPACTS Relocation Cost/Benefit Page 60 RESIDENTIAL Units or square feet OCCUPIED FAMILY SINGLE 8 6 14 $30,000 .00 $420,00 0.00 OCCUPIED FAMILY MULTI- 2 16 18 $15,000 .00 $270,00 0.00 SUBTOTAL 10 22 32 NON-RESIDENTIAL 14,50 0 1,200 15,70 0 $7.50 $117,75 0.00 TOTAL RELOCATION $807,75 0.00 SOURCE: FCCD+R Survey Crane Urban Design Team NOTES in other cities. Occupancy is based upon the FCCD-R Survey All tenure and occupancy conditions will be verified prior to conducting any demolition. Demolition is based upon the project designs and controls as spelled out in figures 4-4 through 4-25. Relocation benefits will be based upon the Uniform Relocation Assistance Act. Benefit estimates are based on comparable experiences Residential Relocation Needs A preliminary estimate of the number and housing tenure characteristics of households that may be displaced by proposed redevelopment initiatives is also shown in Table 4-3. These potentially impacted households currently occupy either structurally hazardous housing units, which cannot be repaired on an economical basis, or structures that may eventually be cleared for new infill housing or economic development. Of the 32 households likely to be displaced in the UR Area, 10 are identified as single-family owners and 22 are multifamily renters. Page 61 According to the federal guidelines, displaced households are entitled to affordable replacement housing of standard condition in preferred locations, including available units outside the current living area if preferred. Providing decent and affordable replacement housing choices within East Austin will be a priority of the relocation program. Choices could include vacant private units in sound condition, as well as planned replacement units to be provided through rehabilitation and new construction in advance of relocation action. As mentioned earlier, the City/ARA may establish replacement housing set-aside targets as a condition of publicly assisted residential rehabilitation and new construction programs. In partnership with community- based organizations, the City/ARA will work to create a limited inventory of temporary housing to meet the needs of displaced households waiting to occupy rehabilitated and new units designated for permanent replacement housing. The process of delivering residential relocation benefits and services will be carefully coordinated with other social and economic improvement objectives for current residents. Family counseling services may be made available, providing special attention to the needs of children and the elderly. Such counseling could result in access to education and skills training, job opportunities, health care, and substance abuse treatment programs. Total residential demolition costs are estimated at $135,000 with an assumed relocation assistance impact totaling $690,000. These amounts of public and private expenditures are quite reasonable in terms of the projected net growth of new development. B. Delivery of Relocation Assistance City staff and consultants will be principally responsible for the planning and delivery of relocation benefits and services within the framework of uniform standards for public and private redevelopment projects. The active participation of the East Austin community, relevant social service agencies, economic development assistance organizations, real estate service firms, and community-based organizations will be sought for various tasks and areas of expertise needed in the survey and planning phase, and in the actual delivery of benefits and services. Detailed residential and business relocation surveys, followed by appropriate relocation assistance plans, budgets and schedules, will be carried out for specific phases and project areas prior to the expenditure of public funds for relocation expenses. These surveys will be coordinated with housing and building code inspections, rehabilitation work orders, and/or demolition permit applications. Specific characteristics of impacted households and businesses, and determinations of their replacement facility needs and preferences, will be defined in each sub-phase/project area relocation assistance survey and plan. Implementation of relocation will follow only after the appropriate reviews of completed plans. 6.0 DURATION AND MODIFICATION PROCEDURES OF URP AND REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT CONTROLS A.
