RAY – ABSENT CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Not yet scheduled ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: The Applicant has had three meetings with representatives and residents of the Parkside at Slaughter Creek subdivision to the south (June 2, 2021, July 8, 2021 and August 12, 2021), two meetings with representatives and residents of the Crossing at Onion Creek across Brandt Road to the north (July 8, 2021 and August 12, 2021), and one meeting with the residents of the Perkins Valley residential subdivision (August 2, 2021). B11 of 111C14-2021-0094 Page 2 A Resolution related to the proposed development, application, and allocation of housing tax credits and private activity bonds was adopted by City Council on July 29, 2021. Please refer to Attachment B. All correspondence received is attached at the back of this packet. The Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team (SCNPCT) has also provided correspondence in opposition to the zoning change. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property is 13.92 acres and located on Brandt Road, a two-lane roadway just east of IH- 35 and approximately six-tenths of a mile south of Slaughter Lane. For context, the Southpark Meadows development is across IH 35 to the west (GR-CO; CS-CO). The property slopes gradually towards Slaughter Creek which generally follows the west property line, contains several groupings of trees and is undeveloped except for a barn. The property has been zoned interim – rural residence (I-RR) district since annexation into the City limits in December 2003. Please refer to Exhibits A and A-1 – Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. The property is surrounded by a TXDoT office and maintenance facility, a church and the Crossing at Onion Creek single family residential subdivision to the north (GR-CO; SF-4A), an unincorporated, undeveloped tract to the east (County), the Parkside at Slaughter Creek single family subdivision to the south (I-SF-4A), and commercial uses at the intersection of IH 35 and Brandt Road to the west (GR-CO). The Applicant proposes to zone the property to the multifamily residence – moderate-high density (MF-4) district so that it may be developed with approximately 200 apartment units. The Applicant is amenable to a 50-foot height limit on the property. A conceptual site plan shows that the apartments would be located on a 10 acre developable area on the east side of the property, adjacent to the undeveloped tract located in unincorporated Travis County. Please refer to Exhibit C – Conceptual Site Plan. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the purpose statement of the district sought. Applicant Request: The multi-family residence – moderate-high density (MF-4) district is intended for residential and multi-family use with a maximum density of up to 54 units per acre, depending on unit size and mix. This district is appropriate for multi-family residential areas located near supporting transportation and commercial facilities, generally in more centrally located areas. The Conditional Overlay (-CO) combining district may be applied in combination with any base district. The district is intended to provide flexible and adaptable use or site development regulations by requiring standards tailored to individual properties. Staff Recommendation: The multi-family residence low density (MF-2) district is intended to accommodate multifamily use with a maximum density of 23 units per acre, depending on B12 of 111C14-2021-0094 Page 3 unit size and has a maximum height of 40 feet. This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near single family neighborhoods or in an area for which low density multifamily use is desired. Also: The MF-3, multifamily residence – medium density district is intended for multifamily developments with a maximum density of up to 36 units per acres located near supporting transportation and commercial facilities. 2. Zoning changes should promote compatibility with adjacent and nearby uses. Staff recommends MF-2 zoning, with conditions for the property based on the following considerations of the Property: 1) the property is suitable for additional residential development and MF-2 zoning would be compatible with the adjacent single family residential subdivisions; 2) residents of a multifamily development would be served by the commercial uses at the intersection of IH 35 and Brandt Road as well as larger commercial shopping centers across IH 35 to the west; and 3) the Neighborhood Traffic Analysis memo recommends the reconstruction of Brandt Road to urban standards along the property frontage.

It is not located within the boundaries of a City Council-adopted neighborhood plan, along an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor, or in an Activity Center. To the north is a single-family subdivision; to the east is undeveloped, unincorporated land; to the south is another single- family subdivision; and to the west is a mix of commercial uses. Much of the site is encumbered by floodplain. The zoning change is being requested to build an apartment complex (200 units). Connectivity There are no public sidewalks, bike lanes, or transit stops along Brandt Road. Brandt Road is accessible from the southbound IH-35 frontage road and from East Slaughter Lane. The roadway does not have curbs or gutters and the two travel lanes are narrow, approximately 20’ wide. Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan The zoning request would change the zoning from I-RR to MF-4. The easternmost property line of the subject tract, as measured by the midpoint of its frontage along Brandt Road is approximately 2,800 feet from the nearest Imagine Austin Activity Corridor, East Slaughter Lane. The Austin Strategic Housing Blueprint, and amendment to the comprehensive plan, has as a goal that at least 75% of new housing units should be within 1/2 mile of Imagine Austin Centers and Corridors. Depending upon how this distance is measured, the subject tract falls within or very near that half-mile range. However, the narrow and unimproved nature of Brandt Road and the lack of sidewalks and dedicated bike lanes makes future trips from this site largely only feasible by car. Additionally, even if these facilities were in place, the lack of the lack of walkable destinations such as retail, services, entertainment, and transit place this proposed project out of alignment with Imagine Austin: B16 of 111C14-2021-0094 Page 7 • LUT P3. Promote development in compact centers, communities, or along corridors that are connected by roads and transit that are designed to encourage walking and bicycling, and reduce health care, housing and transportation costs. • LUT P5. Create healthy and family-friendly communities through development that includes a mix of land uses and housing types and affords realistic opportunities for transit, bicycle, and pedestrian travel and provides both community gathering spaces, parks and safe outdoor play areas for children. Although the proposed change may support the policy guidance regarding housing, the lack of pedestrian facilities and walkable destinations, particularly in the context of the narrow and unimproved character of Brandt Road, make this project out of alignment with Imagine Austin and not supported by the plan. B17 of 111C14-2021-0094 Page 8 B18 of 111C14-2021-0094 Page 9 Drainage Western portions of the property are located within the City’s the fully developed 25-year floodplain and the fully developed 100-year floodplain of Slaughter Creek. The developer is required to submit a pre- and post-development drainage analysis at the subdivision and site plan stage of the development process. The City’s Land Development Code and Drainage Criteria Manual require that the Applicant demonstrate through engineering analysis that the proposed development will have no identifiable adverse impact on surrounding properties. Environmental The site is not located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The site is in the Onion Creek Watershed of the Colorado River Basin, which is classified as a Suburban Watershed by Chapter 25-8 of the City's Land Development Code. The site is in the Desired Development Zone. Under current watershed regulations, development or redevelopment on this site will be subject to the following impervious cover limits: Development Classification % of Gross Site Area % of Gross Site Area Single-Family (minimum lot size 5750 sq. ft.) Other Single-Family or Duplex Multifamily Commercial 50% 55% 60% 80% with Transfers 60% 60% 70% 90% According to floodplain maps there is a floodplain within or adjacent to the project location. Based upon the location of the floodplain, offsite drainage should be calculated to determine whether a Critical Water Quality Zone exists within the project location. Standard landscaping and tree protection will be required in accordance with LDC 25-2 and 25-8 for all development and/or redevelopment. At this time, site specific information is unavailable regarding vegetation, areas of steep slope, or other environmental features such as bluffs, springs, canyon rimrock, caves, sinkholes, and wetlands. Under current watershed regulations, development or redevelopment requires water quality control with increased capture volume and control of the 2-year storm on site. At this time, no information has been provided as to whether this property has any preexisting approvals that preempt current water quality or Code requirements. B19 of 111C14-2021-0094 Page 10 Impervious Cover Within the Onion Creek watershed, the maximum impervious cover allowed by the MF-4 zoning district is 70%, which is a consistent figure between the zoning and watershed regulations. The maximum impervious cover allowed by the MF-2 zoning district would be 60%, which is based on the more restrictive watershed regulations. PARD – Planning & Design Review Parkland dedication will be required for the new residential units proposed by this development, multifamily with MF-4 zoning, at the time of subdivision or site plan, per City Code § 25-1-601. Whether the requirement shall be met with fees in-lieu or dedicated land will be determined using the criteria in City Code Title 25, Article 14, as amended. The site includes a section of Onion Creek, as well a connecting tributary; acquisition and dedication of Onion Creek is a specific recommendation identified in the Parks and Recreation Department’s Long Range Plan. The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) would consider greenbelt connections along Onion Creek toward satisfying the requirement at time of permitting (whether subdivision or site plan), should there be land suitable that meets the needs and standards described in City Code Title 25, Article 14. Should any fees in-lieu be required, those fees shall be used toward park investments in the form of land acquisition and/or park amenities within the surrounding area, per the Parkland Dedication Operating Procedures § 14.3.11 and City Code § 25-1-607 (B)(1) & (2). If the applicant wishes to discuss parkland dedication requirements in advance of site plan or subdivision applications, please contact this reviewer: thomas.rowlinson@austintexas.gov. At the applicant’s request, PARD can provide an early determination of whether fees in-lieu of land will be allowed. Site Plan and Compatibility Standards Site plans will be required for any new development other than single-family or duplex residential. Any development which occurs in an SF-6 or less restrictive zoning district which is located 540-feet or less from property in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district will be subject to compatibility development regulations. Any new development is subject to Subchapter E. Design Standards and Mixed Use. Additional comments will be made when the site plan is submitted. Open space for multifamily uses will be required under Section 2.7 of Subchapter E and 25- 2-780. B110 of 111C14-2021-0094 Page 11 The site is subject to compatibility standards. Along the north, south and west property lines, the following standards apply: a. No structure may be built within 25 feet of the property line. b. No structure in excess of two stories or 30 feet in height may be constructed within 50 c. No structure in excess of three stories or 40 feet in height may be constructed within 100 feet of the property line. feet of the property line. d. No parking or driveways are allowed within 25 feet of the property line. e. A landscape area at least 25 feet wide is required along the property line. In addition, a fence, berm, or dense vegetation must be provided to screen adjoining properties from views of parking, mechanical equipment, storage, and refuse collection. Additional design regulations from LDC 25-2-1067 include the following: • Exterior lighting must be hooded or shielded so that the light source is not directly visible from adjacent property: (1) in an urban family residence (SF-5) or more restrictive district (2) on which a use permitted in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district is located • The noise level of mechanical equipment may not exceed 70 decibels at the property line. • A permanently placed refuse receptacle, including a dumpster, may not be located 20 feet or less from property: (1) in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district; or (2) on which a use permitted in an SF-5 or more restrictive zoning district is located. Transportation The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) adopted April 11, 2019, calls for 78 feet of right-of-way for Brandt Road. It is recommended that 39 feet of right-of-way from the existing centerline should be dedicated for Brandt Road according to the Transportation Plan at the time of subdivision and/or site plan application, whichever comes first. There is a proposed Urban Trail adjacent to this site, Onion Creek. The easement required is a minimum of 20 ft as this allows for a 12 ft trail (minimum trail width per the urban trails plan) and room for maintenance activity. This is the same for Tier I and Tier II trails. Assessment of required transportation mitigation, including the potential dedication of right of way and easements and participation in roadway and other multi-modal improvements, will occur at the time of site plan/subdivision application. A traffic impact analysis shall be required at the time of site plan if trigger per LDC 25-6-113. Austin Water Utility The landowner intends to serve the site with City of Austin water and wastewater utilities. The landowner, at own expense, will be responsible for providing any water and wastewater utility improvements, offsite main extensions, utility relocations and or abandonments required by the land use. The water and wastewater utility plan must be reviewed and B111 of 111C14-2021-0094 Page 12 approved by Austin Water for compliance with City criteria and suitability for operation and maintenance. Depending on the development plans submitted, water and or wastewater service extension requests may be required. All water and wastewater construction must be inspected by the City of Austin. The landowner must pay the City inspection fee with the utility construction. The landowner must pay the tap and impact fee once the landowner makes an application for a City of Austin water and wastewater utility tap permit.

(ATD) July 28, 2021 Neighborhood Traffic Analysis for Fox Hollow Multifamily Zoning Case Number C14-2021-0094 The Transportation Development Services (TDS) division has performed a Neighborhood Traffic Analysis (NTA) for the above referenced case and offers the following comments. The 25.25-acre tract is located in south Austin at 2117 Brandt Road (see Figure 1). The site is currently zoned I-RR and the zoning request is for MF-4. Roadways Figure 1: Local Map The tract proposes access to Brandt Road, a local collector street with 66 feet of right-of- way, 22 feet of pavement width, and two striped travel lanes. The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) categorizes Brandt Road as a “substandard street”, meaning there is no curb and gutter, sidewalk, or bike lanes. Attachment A Page 1 of 3 B119 of 111The 24-hour traffic volume on Brandt Road was 4,490 vehicles per day based on traffic counts collected June 22, 2021. In order to account for reduced daily traffic volumes due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and school being out for summer, an adjustment factor of 1.10 was calculated using the City of Austin’s COVID 19 Impacts: Traffic Volume tool. Applying the adjustment factor to the June 22, 2021 daily traffic volume on Brandt Road results in an adjusted daily traffic volume of 4,939 vehicles per day. Trip Generation and Traffic Analysis This zoning case assumes 203 mid-rise multifamily dwelling units (ITE Code 221). Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition, the proposed development will generate 1,105 vehicle trips per day. See Table 1 for a detailed breakdown of the trip generation. Land Use Residential (Mid-Rise Multifamily Housing) TOTAL Table 1 – Trip Generation Size 203 DU Unadjusted Trip Generation 1,105 1,105 Table 2 provides the expected distribution of site trips throughout the study area. Table 2 – Trip Distribution Street Brandt Road Traffic Distribution by Percent 100% Table 3 represents a breakdown of traffic on Brandt Road: existing traffic, proposed site traffic, total traffic after development, and percentage increase in traffic. Street Brandt Road Existing Traffic (vpd) Table 3 – Traffic Summary Proposed New Site Traffic to Roadway 1,105 4,939 Overall Traffic 6,044 Percentage Increase in Traffic 22.4% According to Section 25-6-116 of the Land Development Code, streets which have a pavement width of less than 30 feet are considered to be operating at an undesirable traffic level if the average daily traffic volume for such roadway exceeds 1,200 vehicles per day. Brandt Road is currently operating at an undesirable level and will continue to do so with the addition of site traffic. Page 2 of 3 B120 of 111Recommendations/Conclusions Based on the results of the NTA, ATD has the following recommendations and conclusions. 1. Brandt Road is currently a substandard street. At time of subdivision or site plan, reconstruct Brandt Road to urban standards along the property frontage. Coordination with ATD will be required to determine final design. 2. If the number of units proposed in Table 1 is exceeded, the TDS division may be required to reassess the NTA. If at time of subdivision or site plan a TIA is required per LDC 25-6-113, the recommendations identified in this NTA memo may be revised. The final decision on mitigation recommendations shall defer to the TIA. 3. The City Council may deny an application if the neighborhood traffic analysis demonstrates that the traffic genersated by the project combined with existing traffic exceeds the desirable operating level established on a residential local or collector street in the neighborhood traffic analysis study area. 4. Street Impact Fee Ordinances 20201220-061 [https://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=352887] and 20201210- 062 [https://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=352739] have been adopted by City Council and are effective as of December 21, 2020. The City shall start collecting street impact fees with all building permits issued on or after June 21, 2022.

CASE #: C14-2021-0094 NEW SINGLE FAMILY NEW MULTIFAMILY DEMOLITION OF MULTIFAMILY TAX CREDIT # SF UNITS: STUDENTS PER UNIT ASSUMPTION Elementary School: Middle School: High School: # MF UNITS: 200 STUDENTS PER UNIT ASSUMPTION Elementary School: .30 Middle School: .05 High School: .08 IMPACT ON SCHOOLS The student yield factor of 0.43 (across all grade levels) for apartment homes was used to determine the number of projected students. It was determined by the district’s demographer that the apartment/condo yield in this area historically exceeds the local averages. Additionally, 120 units are proposed as certified affordable. The proposed 200-unit multifamily development is projected to add approximately 80 students across all grade levels to the projected student population. It is estimated that of the 80 students, 60 will be assigned to Blazier Elementary (located at the K-3 campus and the 4-6 campus), 10 to Paredes Middle School, and 16 to Akins Early College High School. The percent of permanent capacity by enrollment for School Year 2025-26, including the additional students projected with this development, would be within the optimal utilization target range of 85-110% at Akins ECHS (102%) and Blazier ES (90% - combined capacities); and below the target range at Paredes MS (61%). The projected additional students at Paredes MS would not offset the anticipated decline in student enrollment. All of these schools will be able to accommodate the projected additional student population from the proposed development. TRANSPORTATION IMPACT Students attending Blazier ES, Paredes MS, or Akins ECHS would qualify for transportation, and one additional bus would be needed for the Blazier students. SAFETY IMPACT There are not any identified safety impacts at this time.

Each stated that a hearing was to be held, and that there would be notice sent out about when and where the hearing would take place. I have seen no such noticed yet, and would like to know, at least approximately, what is the planning status for said hearing. The residents of my neighborhood, Crossing at Onion Creek, are vehemently opposed to this zoning change and the construction it would bring about. We already have enough traffic issues in this area, and the construction of this complex will only make it far worse. If some civil engineers and planners have the idea that there won't be a problem, then their data is faulty and their conclusions incorrect. Not a surprise when big money is involved. These types of studies are well-known for cherry-picking data to obtain results favorable to the interested parties. Live in this neighborhood for a month and the facts will be revealed - for example, measuring traffic flow during "off hours" is at best a fraudulent practice. Measure during peak hours such are morning and afternoon "get to work rush" reveals the truth of the matter. Which of course is exactly what developers don't want. The little remaining quality of life for Austin citizens must be retained. Continual growth is not the good thing City Hall likes to believe it is - look at how many cities in the US have been ruined due to uncontrolled growth. The city council needs to focus on fixing existing problems (roads, for one), achieving stability, and not wasting funds on pet projects that provide no benefit to citizens but only profits B174 of 111for developers and certain council members. They need to stop thinking that adding more and more population is some kind of good thing. If their view is "we need more revenue" then they need to learn to do what they can with what they have, rather than expecting citizens to cough up more and more, tighten their belts and "make do".

We have had much development in our surrounding area over the years, many have been met with much push back. I think that all of the previous development has been fantastic for our neighbourhood. New restaurants and Day Care Center have been great assets to our neighbourhood. I take time out of dinner with family to express my concerns for this development. While there are many apprehensions in regards to the proposed rezoning request the following are the most concerning to my family which include my 3 year old daughter: From my understanding a traffic impact analysis has been performed by a 3rd party. I am requesting that the City of Austin also provide a traffic impact analysis. Too many accidents and flow of traffic not safe turning onto frontage 35 N from Brandt. While many accidents have happened at the entrance to the neighbourood over the time we have been residents, the one I will never forget is the 6 car accident that happened last March, had we come home just a min earlier we would have been involved. It is also been brought to my attention that the developer proposed ZERO improvements to Brandt Rd in regards to adding any sidewalk, shoulder, widening, adding lighting, repairing the existing damaged road, etc. Two lane road with no shoulder or sidewalk, poor visibility, and multiple blind spots. My daughter and I have walked this road one time while she was 1 year old to go to the church just outside of Parkside at Slaughter Creek. Almost immediately regretted the decision this road is very dangerous for pedestrians. If it is inevitable that this area is rezoned I am requesting that sidewalks please be placed on both Brandt and the N 35 frontage road. This will allow for our walkability to South Park Meadow Shopping and access to Cap Metro Transportation. I once took my daughter in her stroller on the frontage road also just once too dangerous. My concern of this rezoning request also involves the encroachment/displacement of nature/wooded area. To my understanding the proposed zoning includes a loop hole to say that this area is in a 500 year flood plain vs a 100 year flood plain. In the last 7 years I have seen may times when Brandt Road has been un-passible due to flood waters. With the added infrastructure how does the future property owner plan to minimize the flooding effects on our homes in Parkside at Slaughter Creek? -How will future property B177 of 111owner make sure there are no homeless encampments in woods on any portion of the property? Are there steps going to be taken that minimize residents in apartment’s from accessing Parkside at Slaughter Creek’s parks and children’s play structures? Thank you for your time and consideration. It is of my upmost hope that this proposed rezoning request is denied for the safety of our neighbours in Parkside at Slaughter and for the safety of any of the proposed residents.

I am deeply concerned regarding the proposed Rezoning of 2117 Brandt Rd road case # C14-2021-0094 due to the flooding into our neighborhood Parkside at Slaughter creek. With new parking lots on IH -35 being created near U-Haul, Flooring store, Chucky Cheese, and office spaces from slaughter lane down to brandt road the water runoff causing flooding is terrible for our home. An apartment complex will drown us. Please do not approve rezoning. The flood plan uswd to determine an added parking lot needs to be the most current and it will show the flooding problems the creek is already causing. Destroying the greenbelt space for wildlife and the increase in traffic congestion is imminent. Recently a traffic light was installed at Brandt road and Bluff springs road because traffic is insane due to new subdivisions on and near south Bluff springs road. This is evidence of the traffic congestion on Brandt road. Therefore i submit you not approve the rezoning for 2117 Brandt Rd. Parkside at Slaughter Creek resident.

I am a resident homeowner in Parkside at Slaughter Creek and feel like this development is wrong for this particular location. I feel like Brandt Rd is not big enough to support another housing unit in the area, I'm concerned about the existing wildlife in the area being forced out of their homes, and I am currently on a Parkside HOA committee regarding the installation of either a neighborhood pool or a community park & pool to share with nearby neighborhoods, specifically Crossing at Onion Creek. Ideally we would be able to place a pool within Parkside that would only require a bare minimum of tree removal to ensure the pool is not within the 25/50 year floodplain. However, the ideal of turning much of this area into a community park/pool space is also very appealing. Austin needs more houses, not apartments anyway. Just wanted to pass on my 2 cents on this development. Thanks for your time. Kash Sarkaria 832-282-8278 ᐧCAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

Although applicants and/or their agent(s) are expected to participate in a public hearing, you are not required to participate. This meeting will be conducted online and you have the opportunity to speak FOR or AGAINST the proposed development or change. Contact the case manager for information on how to participate in the public hearings online. You may also contact a neighborhood or environmental organization that has expressed an interest in an application affecting your neighborhood. During its public hearing, the board or commission may postpone or continue an application’s hearing to a later date, or may evaluate the City staff’s recommendation and public input forwarding its own recommendation to the City Council. If the board or commission announces a specific date and time for a postponement or continuation that is not later than 60 days from the announcement, no further notice is required. During its public hearing, the City Council may grant or deny a zoning request, or rezone the land to a less intensive zoning than requested but in no case will it grant a more intensive zoning. However, in order to allow for mixed use development, the Council may add the MIXED USE (MU) COMBINING DISTRICT to certain commercial districts. The MU Combining District simply allows residential uses in addition to those uses already allowed in the seven commercial zoning districts. As a result, the MU Combining District allows the combination of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development.

Our Future Land Use Map (FLUM) area consists of single-family, multifamily, mixed use, commercial, office, civic, warehouse/limited office, and industry zones. The SCNPCT also serves students that attend the Austin and Del Valle Independent School Districts. With Austin Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) being so close, we also have to consider the Airport Overlay. Our SCNPCT also encompasses and represents all of 78744. The SCNPCT held its regular monthly meeting on Monday, August 9, 2021, and met with representatives from the Parkside Home Owners Association (HOA), Bluff Springs Neighborhood Association (NA), and Travis Austin Recovery Group (TARG), to discuss the proposed zoning change pertaining to the property located at 2117 Brandt Rd.: Rezoning from IRR – Interim Rural Residence to MF-4 Multi-Family Residence – Moderate High Density. The SCNPCT took into consideration the information provided by the HOA, NA and TARG. With a quorum present and based on the information provided and comparing shared experiences and concerns of the residents, the SCNPCT membership voted unanimously not to support the proposed changes to the rezoning from IRR to MF-4. The SCNPCT voted to support the area residents and join their efforts. The shared historical concerns between the HOA, NA, TARG and the SCNPCT membership include the continued and unprecedented catastrophic flash flooding we have experienced in the lower Onion Creek area. This catastrophic flooding has resulted in the loss of lives and homes. The City of Austin incurred an extensive cost offering buyouts to the hundreds of homes impacted by prior B1100 of 111flooding. Additionally, this area would not only be susceptible to creek flooding but also localized flooding. Neighborhoods built before the 1980s tend to have more drainage problems. According to the Flood Pro analysis, a large portion of the property is located within the Atlas 14 flood plain, plus is located along Onion Creek. A smaller creek also runs through the middle of this property and feeds into Onion Creek. This poses a potential adverse impact not only to the proposed new residents but also to the current residents and homes and businesses downstream. Our community has been subjected to an extensive displacement of low income and people of color residents because of previous catastrophic floods. For those of us who remain, we are alarmed when proposed development presents an increased potential for harm to us. For those displaced, their past experiences involved families and children with long-term established neighborhood ties, including ties with neighborhood schools, current community resources and support systems. For everyone, this resulted in destabilizing the relationships we lost due to distance and added cruel social stressors. For those displaced, they had to work on creating new support systems in whatever areas outside of the City of Austin they manage to find that was affordable to them. For those that were directly impacted by the catastrophic floods, there is no escaping the psychological damage: panic and anxiety every time it starts to rain; or immediately leaving their home and parking at the Dove Springs Recreation Center parking lot every time it rains for fear that the flooding they experienced in the past will happen to them again. Although this current project proposes affordable housing, we cannot support compromising public safety over affordable housing. Again, the southeast portion of the City of Austin and Travis County continues to be subjected to extensive flash flooding threats. We are a primarily low income and people of color community, and we insist on equity, which includes protecting our lives and our homes. Residents in the Eastern Crescent continue to be subjected to lower standards of a quality of life, which is unjust and discriminatory. Environmental concerns have been voiced repeatedly specific to flooding. What written assurances can be secured to ensure there is no adverse impact to current residents and properties. And please do not suggest buyouts. We have already lost hundreds of long-time friends, families, and homes (an entire neighborhood) and ask that we be afforded equal protection of our lives and homes. We also ask for environmental justice. We respectfully request the Zoning and Platting Commission not approve the zoning change requested. We respectfully request the Zoning and Platting Commission carefully consider the long-term and overall impact such change would have on the current and future residents of this portion of the Eastern Crescent as well as residents in the Southeaster portion of Travis County. A sincere effort must be made to ensure these residents are not displaced and current substandard quality of life elements are improved on and families stabilized.

Brandt Rd. is not suitable for increasing the regular traffic that 200+ apartments (1-2 cars each) would bring to the area. The road is narrow and twisting, with very bad visibility in the early morning (eastbound) and early evening (westbound) due to the sun coming up and going down due east or west. In addition, the road floods easily and the shoulders are not well developed, making them particularly soft. As an advocate for low-income families for many years, I am not a NIMBY person. I agree that Austin desperately needs more housing for low- and middle-income families who work and want to live in the city. But placement of a low-income development in this spot is ill- advised. Low-income families rely more heavily on public transport, so those who do not have 1 or 2 cars will want to use the CapMetro bus. Sadly, CapMetro has carved out this area as a No-coverage zone, according to their own coverage area maps. That means NO BUSES at all unless the rider wants to cross IH-35 (maybe at the light on Slaughter, maybe not) and pick the bus up at Southpark Meadows. Or s/he can walk all the way to the end of Brandt Rd and up Bluff Springs to the nearest bus stop - not closeby. The pedestrian or bike rider would have no shoulder to walk on, no sidewalk, and certainly no bike lane, making their travel dangerous for both vehicles and potential riders.

Firstly, this owner of land is going to have a fight on his hands alone for ignoring that property which caused homeless infringements that we as resident of the Crossing at Onion Creek have had to deal with along with Parkside, another neighborhood which backs to this land in discussion. The road Brandt is not wide, nor is is it safe to even discuss adding that mush traffic to the residents of a future multiplex community let alone, any big development. The road, terrain and it’s flood and geographical status are enough to stop this as it is- one would have thought. This e-mail is to formally tell you that we at the Crossing at Onion Creek will be and are actively in process to investigate, further the intentions of this landowner and to protect in the future what we failed to do on Slaughter lane with the break out community at Brandt Road and Slaughter Lane. We do not need to have our financial investments and our lives disrupted by anymore development of multi complexes especially on Brandt Road. I Matthew Solano oppose this whole proposition and the pre- analysis of it’s purposes for such development.
