1881 Grove Blvd Suite #1334, Aus6n Texas 78741 Phone # (512) 221-4736 Email: info@ Manuel Escobar Chair Urban Renewal Board Travis Perlman - Feb 9th, 2021 On behalf of Capitol View Arts and Rolling Roster Restaurant, I am respectfully submitting a request to use the property at 1100 E 11th street adjacent to the Historic Victory Grill/ Rolling Rooster restaurant. The Rolling Roster the current leaseholder of the Historic Victory Grill and is located at 1104 E 11th Street. Our goal is to establish a space to provide outdoor seating that would include acoustic sound entertainment for our guests/customers. We are making this request to operate the outdoor space during the Rolling Roster daily business operations as of February 2021 until such time that your office determines is necessary. We expect to provide seating arrangements to accommodate our guests and seek your permission to fence in the area to provide safety/security to our patrons. Should there be a need to have any permitting done to secure the space's use, the Capitol View Arts and the Rolling Roster would guarantee the necessary documents to comply with city codes? This request is needed as a black-owned business representing the 11th Street corridor, providing economic benefit through visitor impact and job growth. As you are aware, COVID 19 has changed the restaurant business model dramatically. The opportunity to use the space at 1100 E 11th Street, next door to the Historic Victory Grill/Rolling Roster, will allow us to serve patrons by providing outdoor seating. This outdoor capacity will contribute to our sustainability efforts during the pandemic. Rolling Roster operates several businesses around the City. Capitol View Arts, a sanctioned 501(C)3 organization, has been providing educational, internship, economic opportunities to underserved members of our community with emphasis to those with life experience to east Austin, are proud to be a part of the E 11 Th Street cultural legacy by working within the Victory Grill. Allowing outdoor seating for the 11 Street restaurant will increase my chances of maintaining our businesses during this crisis. Sincerely Clifford Gillard Board President CVA.

The redevelopment process of the site has collected public input from local stakeholders and residents, who have been tremendously involved in this process over the last several years.

I am grateful for the Ryan Drive Working Group and Crestview Neighborhood Association for their dedication ensuring the success of the redevelopment process. This project is adjacent to the Capital Metro Crestview Station and Crestview Neighborhood, and is just shy of a block from Lamar Boulevard, a major city corridor road. Through several community engagement opportunities, the community made clear the desire for the site …

Austin Economic Development Corporation Stakeholder Update and Discussion on Governance Background Resolutions 20141211-122 and 20170216-040 the Austin City Council directed the City Manager to “deliver a feasibility study” and “bring forward…specific proposals” related to the creation of an economic development entity with the capacity to “create or support development of affordable housing, redevelopment, revitalization and other priority projects and goals of the City.” As staff began working with an external consultant to prepare recommendations and working documents for the creation of an entity, Council provided additional direction to align the development of the economic development entity with the intent and creation of an “Austin Cultural Trust” through resolutions 20180215-082 and 20190808-072. In May of this year, Council further directed the City Manager to expedite a review of existing entities and resources that could be centralized to support the timely execution of recovery efforts that could secure or retain creative culture and community benefits in resolutions 20200521-095 and 20200521-096. The Economic Development Department (EDD) staff and consultant presented recommendations for creation of a holistic economic development entity for discussion during the Council Work Session on August 25th. As outlined in the memo provided with the report to Mayor and Council on July 31, 2020. Through Resolution 20201001-055 Council approved the legal documents needed for the creation of the Austin Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) and simultaneously approved staff’s recommendations to appoint the first six places as an interim board. 2 Public Real Estate Developer As Cities grow to scale, some create a public developer Why?

URP & NCCD Use Regulations February 8, 2021 Content 12th St NCCD 11th St NCCD Urban Renewal Plan 12th St NCCD 12th St. Current Use Regulations Relies on the base zoning to define permitted uses. Uses are further restricted in the NCCD through a list of prohibited and conditional uses which are primarily commercial. A list of these can be found in Ordinance No. 20080228-078 & Ordinance No. 20081120-101 4 12th St. Proposed Use Regulations The proposed NCCD defines uses that are permitted, permitted with conditions and conditional through a land use table. For a use to be allowed on a property, it must be in the use table in the NCCD and allowed per the base zoning. 5 12th St. Proposed Use Regulations This limits properties SF-3 zoned properties more than they are limited under current regulations. SF-3 properties indicated in yellow 6 12th St. Proposed Use Regulations Because the residential uses allowed in SF-3 are not allowed in the proposed NCCD use table, these properties would be limited to civic uses or those outlined in the “save and except” section. A language change is needed to allow more residential uses on SF-3 properties 7 12th St. Recommended Change For properties zoned SF-3, allow uses in the base zoning. The use table in the NCCD does not apply. 8 11th St NCCD 11th St. Current Use Regulations Permitted and Conditional Uses are outlined by Subdistrict rather than the base zoning Unlike 12th St properties, most of the commercial base zoning on 11th does not have Mixed Use (-MU) overlay Therefore, most of the commercial base zoning on 11th St does not allow residential 10 11 11th St. Proposed Regulations Similar to the current NCCD, the proposed NCCD defines allowed uses by Subdistrict. However, in Subdistrict 1 & 2, for a use to be allowed on a property, it must be in the use table in the NCCD and allowed per the base zoning. This is more restrictive than current regulations. 12 11th St. Recommended Change The clause below from the proposed 12th St NCCD was added to the Urban Renewal Plan and the 11th St NCCD to align the documents. If the intention is to carry forward current use allowances with some refinement, then the clause below should be removed. 13 Urban Renewal …
