A. Land Use Commission variance determinations from Chapter 25-8-41 of the City Code: 1. The requirement will deprive the applicant of a privilege or the safety of property given to owners of other similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development; Other large projects with similar development needs and site constraints have been Yes granted variances for similar grading. Relevant development needs include the need to provide consistent floor elevations, match the grades of existing roadways, and maintain ADA compliant grades within the site. Relevant site constraints include slopes and protected waterways. Similar variances for similarly situated properties include cut to 12 feet approved for Applied Materials Logistics Service Center, Decker Creek Watershed (Suburban), fill to 18 feet approved for Dalfen Industrial, Onion Creek Watershed (Suburban), and cut and fill to 15 feet for Pinnacle at Wildhorse, Gilleland Creek (Suburban). 2. The variance: a. Is not based on a condition caused by the method chosen by the applicant to develop the property, unless the development method provides greater overall environmental protection than is achievable without the variance; Yes The variance is necessitated by development constraints created by existing parking infrastructure, a 100-foot LCRA transmission line, and Walnut Creek. The variance is also necessitated by patient safety concerns and ADA compliance requirements to connect the Behavioral Health Hospital to the public roadway frontage. With a significant grade change of 33 feet across the property and limited space to make up the grade change, the site requires minimum 8 percent grades at critical drive locations connecting the Behavioral Health Hospital to Park Bend Drive. To reduce the fill and, the finished floor elevation would have to be lowered, which would increase these slopes to 10% and prevent the main sidewalk connection to Park Bend Drive from meeting ADA compliance requirements. This variance provides a solution to balance access and safety. Page 3 of 64Page 3 of 643 of 6406 SP-2022-0516C - HCA Behavior Health Hospital; District 7 b. Is the minimum change necessary to avoid the deprivation of a privilege given to other property owners and to allow a reasonable use of the property; and The proposed driveway grades match exiting site grades where possible to minimize fill and while providing ADA compliant pedestrian paths. Steep pavement and open space slopes create a concern for the safety of Behavioral Health Hospital patients and the public. The variance is the minimum change necessary to allow safe pedestrian navigation through the property. c. Does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences; and Yes The potential for harmful environmental consequences from the fill will be minimized by use of engineered walls and terraces to safely contain the fill in the long term. Yes Yes 3. Development with the variance will result in water quality that is at least equal to the water quality achievable without the variance. The use of retaining walls and terraces will limit the amount of grading, creating more stable slopes and limiting the potential for erosion and sedimentation. The terraces also allow for greater infiltration and a lower runoff rate. The Land Use Commission may grant a variance from a requirement of Article 7, Division 1 ( Critical Water B. Quality Zone Restrictions ), after determining that: Additional Land Use Commission variance determinations for a requirement of Article 7, Division 1 (Critical Water Quality Zone Restrictions): 1. The criteria for granting a variance in Subsection (A) are met; NA The requirement for which a variance is requested prevents a reasonable, economic use of the entire property; NA The variance is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable, economic use of the entire property. NA 2. 3. Staff Determination: Staff determines that the findings of fact have been met. Staff recommends the following conditions: 1. Contain the fill with a combination of engineered walls and terraces to reduce grading and increase infiltration. 2. Seed and plant the terraces with native trees (where feasible based on structural constraints), perennials, grasses, and forbs per 609S to increase infiltration, provide habitat, and increase plant diversity. Providing NO MOW signage for the terraces.

As required in LDC Section 25-8-41, in order to grant a variance the Land Use Commission must make the following findings of fact: Include an explanation with each applicable finding of fact. Land Use Commission variance determinations from Chapter 25-8-41 of the City Code: The requirement will deprive the applicant of a privilege available to owners of similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development subject to similar code requirements. Yes / No There are several multifamily and commercial properties along Walnut Creek. Several properties encroach towards the creek closer than what is proposed for this property. Also, this site is proposing significantly less impervious cover than what is allowed in the existing PUD on this property. This variance will allow us to address site constraints and existing conditions that burden the property from developing a site that addresses patient safety, meets ADA compliance, and provides a safe roadway design. 2. The variance: City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 4 Page 9 of 64Page 9 of 649 of 6406 SP-2022-0516C - HCA Behavior Health Hospital; District 7November 21, 2023 a) Is not necessitated by the scale, layout, construction method, or other design decision made by the applicant, unless the design decision provides greater overall environmental protection than is achievable without the variance; Yes / No Variance is necessitated by site constraints created by existing parking infrastructure, LCRA transmission line, and Walnut Creek. Variance is also necessitated by patient safety concerns and ADA compliance requirements to connect the Behavioral Health Hospital to public roadway frontage. Due to the constraints mentioned above, there is limited space to provide public access from the LCRA easement to the Behavioral Health Hospital. With a significant grade change of 33’ across the property and the limited space to make up the grade change, the site requires minimum 8% grades at critical drive locations connecting the Behavioral Health Hospital to Park Bend Drive. Reducing the fill and, thereby lowering the finished floor elevation, would increase these slopes to 10% and prevent the main sidewalk connection to Park Bend Drive from meeting ADA compliance requirements. This variance provides a solution to balance access and safety. Is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable use of the property; Yes / No As mentioned above, the proposed driveway grades match exiting site grades where possible to minimize fill and provide ADA compliant pedestrian paths. Steep pavement and open space slopes create a concern for the safety of Behavioral Health Hospital patients and the public to navigate through the property. Does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences. Yes / No b) c) This variance does create a significant probability of harmful environmental impacts; the site plan application contains current environmental protection notes, including erosion control notes as required by City of Austin and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Development with the variance will result in water quality that is at least equal to the water quality achievable without the variance. Yes / No 3. City of Austin | Environmental Commission Variance Application Guide 5 Page 10 of 64Page 10 of 6410 of 6406 SP-2022-0516C - HCA Behavior Health Hospital; District 7November 21, 2023 Development with the variance will not have any effects on water quality. The variance is not intended to reduce the responsibility to protect the surrounding environment, but to provide ADA accessibility and create a safer means for drivers, pedestrians, and patients to navigate the property. Additional Land Use Commission variance determinations for a requirement of Section 25-8-422 (Water Quality Transition Zone), Section 25-8-452 (Water Quality Transition Zone), Article 7, Division 1 (Critical Water Quality Zone Restrictions), or Section 25-8-368 (Restrictions on Development Impacting Lake Austin, Lady Bird Lake, and Lake Walter E. Long): The criteria for granting a variance in Subsection (A) are met; Yes / No The development meets all criteria for granting a variance listed in subsection A. The variance is not due to a design decision, and allows for ADA accessibility and safe means for drivers and pedestrians to navigate the property, and will not cause environmental harm or affect water quality. The requirement for which a variance is requested prevents a reasonable, economic use of the entire property. Yes / No The requirements for this variance help minimize risk of driver and pedestrian injuries and provides a safer environment for the patients and public. This variance allows the Behavioral Health Hospital to maintain its economic viability and ensure the public will have access to significantly beneficial behavioral health resources in a timely manner. The variance is the minimum deviation from the code requirement necessary to allow a reasonable, economic use of the entire property. Yes / No The main drive connection from Park Bend Drive public frontage is maxed out at 8%, allowing for ADA compliance. The variance request accounts for the minimum allowable deviation from the above-mentioned code requirement to provide ADA accessibility and safer driver and pedestrian travel, while protecting patient safety. 1. 2. 3. **Variance approval requires all above affirmative findings.

(Terracon) is pleased to submit this City of Austin (COA) Environmental Resource Inventory (ERI) report addressing COA compliance requirements as they may affect the above referenced project site in accordance with Terracon Proposal No. P96197414 dated May 6, 2019 and signed contract dated June 29, 2019. The results of this report are based on the professional opinion of Terracon and site conditions observed during the field reconnaissance. It should be noted that some critical environmental features (CEFs) may be seasonal or ephemeral, indicating that their presence/absence and condition are dependent on various weather conditions (including rainfall) and other changes to the surrounding ecosystem. Terracon is not liable for ephemeral and/or seasonal CEFs that are exposed or created after COA regulations; therefore, changes in regulations may require a re-evaluation of the findings of this report. It is recommended this report be promptly submitted to the COA, otherwise an updated report (based on an additional field assessment) may be required to evaluate ephemeral and/or seasonal CEFs. It should be noted that the COA has the ultimate authority for CEF classifications.

The limitations of this ERI should be recognized. In conducting the limited scope of services described herein, certain sources of information and public records were not reviewed. The scope of this ERI was conducted in general accordance -8-121 (A), and the City of Austin Title 30- of Texas Edwards Aquifer Rule (30 TAC 213, Subchapter B; pertaining to Travis County, Texas) or the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Edwards Aquifer Protection Program. Field identification of Critical Environmental Features (CEFs) as defined by the COA can be seasonally influenced. Due to seasonal changes, Terracon cannot guarantee areas to exhibit or not to exhibit CEF characteristics at all times of the year. CEF wetlands were evaluated using the USACE 1987 Manual and Great Plains Regional Supplement. The manuals provide assistance for identifying wetlands based on the three criteria discussed. However, the manuals alone may not have provided enough information to document whether or not the three criteria were met. Various physical properties or other visual signs used to evaluate whether the three wetland identification criteria areas were satisfied may not be straightforward, especially in disturbed or problem areas. The manuals also allow the user to visually estimate certain indicators, such as the percentage of area covered by dominant species for the entire community. Terracon did not attempt to identify every plant species and did not classify soil types by laboratory methods.
