Note that for this particular case, specific sections of the TIA were submitted for early review as they became available due to the significant extent of the analysis. ATD then reviewed the final TIA to ensure consistency with the previously approved sections. The proposed development includes a 358-room hotel, a 150-room hotel, water slide park with 416 parking spaces, soccer complex with 11 fields, 30 dwelling units of recreational homes, 150,000 SF of general office, 50,000 SF of shopping center, 120,000 SF of general light industrial, 70,000 SF of museum, a 170,000 SF indoor sports facility, and a 20,000 SF e-sports arena. This development is located in southeast Austin on Circuit of the Americas Boulevard between FM 812 and Elroy Road. The development is anticipated to be completed in two phases with build-out years of 2021 and 2026 for Phase 1 and Phase 2, respectively. Below is a summary of our review findings and recommendations: 1. The applicant shall design, construct, and fund 100% of the improvements identified in Table 2 as part of their first site development application for Phase 1. No temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) or certificate of occupancy (CO) shall be issued until the construction of the identified improvements is complete. Note: Cost estimates should not be assumed to represent the maximum dollar value of improvements the applicant may be required to construct. 2. The applicant shall also design, construct, and fund 100% of the improvements identified in Table 3, excluding the Kellam Road widening project, as part of their site development applications for Phase 2. Off-site improvements shall be included in the first site plan for each identified Planning Area based on the Planning Areas Map shown in Attachment B. No temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) or certificate of occupancy (CO) shall be issued until the construction of the identified improvements is complete. Note: Cost estimates should not be assumed to represent the maximum dollar value of improvements the applicant may be required to construct. Page 1 of 13 12 of 41 3. If at the time of site plan it is determined by the Authority (government entity corresponding to the specific improvements) that the triggered improvements are already constructed or if other improvements noted in the TIA are deemed higher priority, then a fee-in-lieu payment for the estimated cost of the triggered improvements shall be made to the respective government entity. 4. The applicant shall contribute a fee-in-lieu payment to Travis County for the construction of an additional southbound through lane on Kellam Road between Pearce Lane and Elroy Road for each site plan application in Phase 2. The fee-in-lieu amount shall be determined by calculating the percentage of unadjusted site trips versus the most recent estimate of total trips to be generated by all Phase 2 land uses and applying that percentage to the estimated improvement cost of $2,727,273. Note that the current edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual at time of site plan shall be used to calculate the unadjusted site trips. 5. Development of this property should not vary from the approved uses or deviate from the approved intensities and estimated traffic generation assumptions within the finalized TIA document, including land uses, trip generation, trip distribution, traffic controls, driveway locations, and other identified conditions. Any change in the assumptions made to the TIA document shall be reviewed by ATD and may require a new or updated TIA/addendum. 6. The applicant shall provide an electronic copy of the final TIA report, including all supplemental documents, before 3rd reading. 7. The findings and recommendations of this TIA memorandum remain valid until the end of the Phase 2 buildout year, December 31, 2026, after which a revised TIA or addendum may be required. Assumptions 1. The development will consist of two phases with build-out years of 2021 and 2026 for Phase 1 and Phase 2, respectively. 2. Based on TxDOT AADT volume data, a five (5) percent annual growth rate was assumed to account for the increase in background traffic. 3. Below are the background projects that were assumed to contribute trips to the surrounding roadway network in addition to forecasted traffic for 2021 and 2026:   Lexington Parke Elroy Retail Trip Generation and Land Use Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (10th Edition) and trip generation studies for the indoor sports facility and e-sports arena, the development will generate approximately 15,342 unadjusted average daily vehicles trips (ADT) at full build out as shown in Table 1.

Specific improvements were identified for each phase in the TIA report to accurately assess the timing and priority of said improvements. Phase 1 is identified as including the 358-room hotel and water park. Improvements associated with Phase 1 are to be shown on the first site plan application and constructed before the TCO or CO is issued. Table 2 below summarizes the improvements associated with Phase 1. For Phase 2, a mitigation phasing agreement was established to ensure that improvements are being constructed proportional to the level of development activity occurring. Identified improvements for Phase 2 have been tied to specific development Planning Areas based on the Planning Areas Map shown in Attachment B. A TIA Waiver Letter will be required with all site plan applications to determine which improvements, if any, are triggered and ensure the development continues to comply with the requirements of this TIA memo. For the first site plan application associated with each Planning Area, all improvements tied to that Planning Area, as listed in Table 3, shall be shown on the site plan application and Page 3 of 13 14 of 41 constructed before the TCO or CO is issued. Note that the land uses from Phase 1 do not count towards triggering improvements from Phase 2. For all site plan applications in Phase 2, a fee-in-lieu payment to Travis County shall be required for the construction of a southbound through lane on Kellam Road from Pearce Lane to Elroy Road. This fee-in-lieu amount will be assessed based on the percentage of unadjusted site trips versus the most recent estimate for the total trips to be generated by all Phase 2 land uses. Note that the current edition of the ITE Trip Generation Manual at time of site plan shall be used to calculate the unadjusted site trips. Information regarding the fee-in-lieu amount shall be included in the TIA Waiver Letters mentioned above.

Again, it should be noted that the applicant shall design and construct all the improvements (except the road widening improvement to Kellam Road) noted in Table 2 and Table 3 above with the funding solely from the applicant. For the roadway widening improvement to Kellam Road, the applicant shall contribute fee-in-lieu mitigation payments to Travis County for every site plan application associated with Phase 2. The cost estimates noted in the tables above are planning level cost estimates for the purpose of discussion and review only. The cost estimates noted in the tables shall not be assumed to represent the maximum dollar value of improvements the applicant is required to construct.
