ORDINANCE NUMBER: B-41 of 8 ISSUES: No issues at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for 4.679 acre property located at the southwest corner of FM 969 and Nixon Lane. The property is currently zoned GR-CO and is developed with a single family dwelling facing Nixon Lane; the rest of the property is undeveloped.

Zoning and Platting Commission FY 2021 Budget Recommendations (Draft) As the City of Austin considers its FY 2021 budget, the Zoning and Platting Commission (ZAP) urges City Council Members to consider how to embed equity in our city’s spending. We stand firmly against racism, historic and ongoing, that continues to define access and opportunity in our city. Along with countless community voices, ZAP calls upon Council to adopt a budget that takes a wholistic approach to public safety. ZAP emphasizes that our community’s health is not measured by the effectiveness of law enforcement, but in the quality of our services, planning, and housing. Our service as ZAP commissioners grants us insight into investments that promote equitable outcomes. Deeply troubled by the legacies and realities of racism in our city, ZAP strongly recommends the following: • Additional funding for Neighborhood Housing and Community Development, including: o Programs that prevent and mitigate displacement which disproportionately impacts o Preservation and creation of more affordable housing across Austin, including in o Additional support for paths to homeownership, critical to addressing our racial communities of color high-opportunity areas wealth gap • Additional funding for Planning and Zoning, including: o Dedicated outreach with communities of color to involve historically excluded groups in planning processes o Additional capacity for Boards and Commissions, to ensure staff and commissioners can thoroughly review cases and consult with community stakeholders o Additional support for small area planning that secures a community voice in shaping how our neighborhoods grow and change • Additional funding for Economic Development, including: o Support for commercial affordability programs that provide capital and technical assistance to minority and women-owned businesses o Support for arts and cultural heritage programming that preserves and celebrates the creative contributions of communities of color o Support for workforce development programs that amplify opportunities and build skills among low-income and minority job seekers • Across all City of Austin departments: o Dedicated resources for public engagement that seeks out and lifts up marginalized o voices Improved digital community engagement that promotes equitable and inclusive participation in public meetings o Equitable allocation of all budgets, services, bonds, and capital investments to communities of color in Austin.
Planning in Austin: The Lillie Legacy Richard Ransom Lillie 21 October 1930 -22 June 2020 Born: Merrill, Wisconsin Military: US Navy, 1950-54 College: University of Texas, 1955-58 Georgia Tech, 1961-63 In Memoriam It was on a hot August afternoon in Austin in 1961 when I first met Dick Lillie. As a recent UT graduate, I was checking out job possibilities in city hall. And as it turned out, Dick was leaving for graduate school and his position as a research analyst in the planning department was open. I was hired and Dick spent the next several weeks teaching me the basics of his job. Dick returned to Austin to continue his career in 1965 and when he finally decided to leave almost two decades later, I was again honored to assume his job responsibilities. And he was again there to ensure my smooth transition. While I have often said that I twice replaced Dick, that is actually not true because Dick Lillie was not replaceable! In both 1961 and 1984, all I did was continue his work. Over the past 60 years I have been associated with many many planners and, without hesitancy, I can say that none matched Dick’s caring, competency and character. Dick personified the perfect professional planner. Period!

Zoning and Platting Commission Resolution on Virtual Meetings Whereas, since March 2020 the Zoning and Platting Commission has been unable to meet in person due to the stay-home work order resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic. It is unknown at this time how long these conditions will last. Whereas, site development and zoning cases continue to be processed by the City of Austin, therefore necessitating the need for decisions by the Zoning and Platting Commission. Whereas, virtual meetings with the use of Cisco WebEx along with analog phone calls have been used by the City of Austin to enable the Zoning and Platting Commission to hold regular meetings. Whereas, call-in public participation allows for more flexibility in participation because citizens can participate from home as opposed to traveling to City Hall to provide feedback. Now Therefore Be It Resolved: That the City Council allow the Zoning and Platting Commission to receive training from the Computer and Technology Management (CTM) staff to optimize the videoconferencing technology used. This includes providing instruction on how to make presentations, share screens, how to enable functions of the platform such as blurring or changing the background of the virtual platform. Be It Further Resolved: To improve public awareness of what is happening during the virtual meeting, staff presenting during the meeting should be included on the screen. Also, pertinent meeting documents such as maps, agenda, and the dynamic speaker list showing the queue of speakers and who is next in the queue should be shown on the screen. Be It Further Resolved: To encourage equitable public participation, provide more clarity and ease of registration. 1. This includes making dial-in instructions available in multiple languages, written instructions so that potential speakers know what to expect during the call, and inclusion of the call-in number in case their call gets dropped. In addition, as soon as the community or stakeholder is notified about a zoning request, the notification should include instructions on how to register to speak on the item within this new system. 2. This also includes establishing a revised deadline of registering as a speaker by 9 AM the morning of the meeting. Those items that have been pulled for late back-up should not have a deadline for speakers. Speakers should be able to call in at the time of the meeting 3. Potential speakers should be notified of the new protocols, deadlines, and timeframes before …
