TRAFFIC & SAFETY Group: Gary, Thomas, Charles, Jeff, Kerri, Mike, Chuck, Ann SUBJECT: Postponement Request – Case C14-2025-0089 – Traffic Concerns Dear Zoning and Platting Commission, My name is Mari Jackson and I live at 1601 Lost Creek Blvd, Austin TX 78746, next to the property proposed for rezoning under Case C14-2025- 0089. I am requesting that the February 17 hearing be postponed until May 19th to obtain accurate traffic information. The numbers in the application do not seem to be correct. This project would add 475 apartments to Lost Creek Boulevard, which already handles 8,000–10,000 car trips per day through a single left-turn 4 03 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 8 1 of 11lane at Loop 360. A fatality occurred at this intersection this past year. The application says no Traffic Impact Analysis is needed – for a project that would increase traffic by 30–40%. That is not acceptable. The application also ignores the Marshall development (48 homes), the Stratus development (600+ homes and apartments), and the TxDOT Loop 360 project – all happening in the same area. Our neighborhood has limited roads in and out, which is also a serious wildfire evacuation concern. • Every Monday-Friday, 7:30 am - 9:00 am, 3:30 pm - 6:30 pm, the traffic light at Lost Creek and Capital of TX is already grossly overly congested with day to day commuter traffic. Add in construction of the 48 new homes being built, or an event (lockdown, performances, Football games) at Forest Trail Elementary School/Westlake High School and you can’t get out of Lost Creek. Please postpone this hearing until a Traffic Impact Analysis is completed. Our community deserves that basic safety review. Mari Jackson 1701 Lost Creek Blvd, Austin, TX 78746 2. SCHOOLS & EDUCATIONAL IMPACT Group: Susan, KJ SUBJECT: Postponement Request – Case C14-2025-0089 – Incomplete Educational Impact Statement Dear Zoning and Platting Commission, My name is Mari Jackson and I live at 1701 Lost Creek Blvd] in the Lost Creek area. I am requesting that the February 17 hearing for Case C14- 2025-0089 be postponed until May 19th This project proposes 475 multifamily units, which triggers a mandatory Educational Impact Statement for any project with 200+ multifamily units. The property is in the Eanes ISD, which is already facing budget challenges. The application’s own EIS form leaves the number of bedrooms per unit as “TBD.” We cannot confirm that a completed EIS has been submitted to or reviewed by Eanes ISD. 5 03 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 8 2 of 11 If the EIS is incomplete, the hearing should not proceed. This is a regulatory requirement, not optional. [ADD A PERSONAL SENTENCE – e.g., your children’s school experience, class sizes, or why you chose this area for its schools.] Please postpone until the Educational Impact Statement is completed and reviewed by Eanes ISD. Thank you, Mari Jackson 1701 Lost Creek Blvd 3. ENVIRONMENTAL & WATERSHED Group: Phyllis, Devlin SUBJECT: Postponement Request – Case C14-2025-0089 – Watershed & Environmental Concerns Dear Zoning and Platting Commission, My name is Mari Jackson and I live at 1701 Lost Creek, Austin TX 78746, adjacent to the property in Case C14-2025-0089. I am requesting that the February 17 hearing be postponed until May 19th. This site drains into the Eanes Creek Watershed and is adjacent to Barton Creek Watershed – waterways Austin has spent decades protecting. It is in the Hill Country Roadway Scenic Corridor, a wildlife habitat protected area, and a dark skies community. And, even though the developer states clearly that this is a “wildlife and scenic roadway,” they are providing none of the compliance requirements, notices, or steps for addressing these restrictions on the property. A 90-foot, 475-unit building will massively increase impervious cover, stormwater runoff, and pollutants loading into protected waterways. We already have a developing going in and it’s caused so many issues already with traffic and wildlife have disappeared. Please postpone until an environmental review addressing watershed impact, the Hill Country Corridor, and wildlife habitat is completed. Thank you, Mari Jackson 6 03 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 8 3 of 11 1701 Lost Creek Blvd. 4. DARK SKIES & NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER Group: Marvin, Scott SUBJECT: Postponement Request – Case C14-2025-0089 – Dark Skies & Compatibility Dear Zoning and Platting Commission, My name is Mari Jackson and I live at 1701 Lost Crrek Blvd.] in the Lost Creek area. I am requesting that the February 17 hearing for Case C14- 2025-0089 (City View Rezoning) be postponed until May 19th. Our neighborhood is a Dark Skies Development of Distinction – one of only two in Austin, only three in the state of Texas, only six in the U.S. to successfully achieve this designation. This designation is one of Lost Creek’s most precious assets. The City of Austin and Travis County honored our Dark Skies designation in 2021, 2022 and 2023 with October Night Skies proclamations. The City View application includes no lighting plan and no acknowledgement that this is a Dark Skies area. The property is currently low-rise office space that blends into the landscape. A proposed 90-foot building with 475 apartments would introduce massive light pollution from hundreds of windows, parking areas, and exterior lighting, and is fundamentally incompatible with the character of this area. The dark skies, wildlife, trails, underground utilities and the feeling of being in the country have always been a reason why Lost Creek felt like home. Please don’t destroy it. Please postpone until the impact on our dark skies community and neighborhood compatibility has been studied. Thank you, Mari Jackson 1701 Lost Creek Blvd 7 03 C14-2025-0089 - 1120 and 1122 S Capital of Texas Highway; District 8 4 of 11 5. INCOMPLETE APPLICATION & AFFORDABILITY Group: To be assigned SUBJECT: Postponement Request – Case C14-2025-0089 – Incomplete Application Dear Zoning and Platting Commission, My name is Mari Jackson in the Lost Creek area. I am requesting that the February 17 hearing for Case C14-2025-0089 be postponed until May 19th. I have reviewed the application and it is incomplete. Multiple fields are marked “TBD” or “Unknown” – including bedrooms per unit, childcare, open space, and amenities. Most importantly, the applicant requests a Density Bonus 90, which allows a 90-foot building in exchange for affordable housing commitments – but specifies zero affordability commitments. No SMART Housing participation. No income thresholds. No commitment period. The TIA is also marked “No” for a 475-unit project. This application should not go to hearing in this state. “I support affordable housing, but the density bonus only works if developers actually commit to it.”] Please postpone until the applicant submits a complete application with defined affordability commitments.

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution Dear Zoning and Platting Commission, My name is Andrea Stepan and I live at 600 Canyon Rim Dr, Austin TX 78746, near the property proposed for rezoning under Case C14-2025-0089. I am requesting that the February 17 hearing be postponed until May 19th to obtain accurate traffic information. The numbers in the application do not seem to be correct. This project would add 475 apartments to Lost Creek Boulevard, which already handles 8,000–10,000 car trips per day through a single left-turn lane at Loop 360. A fatality occurred at this intersection this past year along with several accidents. The application says no Traffic Impact Analysis is needed – for a project that would increase traffic by 30–40%. That is not acceptable or SAFE for current or future drivers( teenagers). My child will be driving age in four years and the amount of traffic this will bring to the area is concerning if no safety study has been conducted. The application also ignores the Marshall development (48 homes), the Stratus development (600+ homes and apartments), and the TxDOT Loop 360 project – all happening in the same area. The Lost Creek neighborhood has limited roads in and out, which is a serious wildfire concern. My neighborhood only has one exit and should this new development impact Bee Cave, which already does have severe back ups on the south 360 on-ramp right at the Bee Cave intersection, this would likely get worse and cause life threatening implications if a wildfire evacuation occurs in our area. • Every Monday-Friday, 7:30 am - 9:00 am, 3:30 pm - 6:30 pm, the traffic light at Lost Creek and Capital of TX is already grossly overly congested with day to day commuter traffic. Add in construction of the 48 new homes being built, or an event (lockdown, performances, Football games) at Forest Trail Elementary School/Westlake High School and you can’t get out of Lost Creek or through 360 in a timely or relatively safe manner. Please postpone this hearing until a Traffic Impact Analysis is completed. Our community deserves that basic safety review. Concerned resident, Andrea Stepan CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email.

Learn why this is important External Email - Exercise Caution My name is Peggy Dusza and I live at 5925 Cape Coral Drive - Austin, Tx 78746, in the neighborhood next to the property proposed for rezoning under Case C14-2025-0089. I am requesting that the February 17 hearing be postponed until May 19, 2026. This project would add up to 475 apartments to Lost Creek Boulevard, which already handles 8,000- 10,000 car trips per day through a single left-turn lane at Loop 360. A fatality occurred at this intersection this past year. The application says no Traffic Impact Analysis is needed, which does not seem right for a project that would increase traffic by 30-40%. The application also ignores the Marshall development (48 homes), the Stratus development (600+ homes and apartments), and the TxOT Loop 360 project - all happening in the same area. Our neighborhood has limited roads in and out, which is also a serious wildfire evacuation concern. Getting in and out of Lost Creek with the current construction and work needed to be done on the boulevard is very taxing anytime, but especially with the school buses coming and going and at rush hour at this intersection. We request that a third-party traffic study be done so that our community can better understand the impact of this development. Our community deserves that basic safety review.

My community is directly impacted by this proposed zoning change and development. The scope and scale of what is being proposed would fundamentally alter the character, density, traffic pa(cid:54)erns, and environment profile of our area. This proposed zoning change and development demands a meaningful community review of poten(cid:22)al impacts to our area and such review has not yet been possible. The Lost Creek Neighborhood Associa(cid:22)on has formally requested this ac(cid:22)on and cited specific grounds for postponement in their request. I concur with their request. I appreciate your considera(cid:22)on of this request to postpone the February 17, 2026 public hearing for Case No. C14-2025- 0089.

I am requesting that the February 17 hearing for Case C14-2025-0089 be postponed until May 19th This project proposes 475 multifamily units, which triggers a mandatory Educational Impact Statement for any project with 200+ multifamily units. The property is in the Eanes ISD, which is already facing budget challenges. The application’s own EIS form leaves the number of bedrooms per unit as “TBD.” We cannot confirm that a completed EIS has been submitted to or reviewed by Eanes ISD. If the EIS is incomplete, the hearing should not proceed. This is a regulatory requirement, not optional. We chose to live in the Lost Creek area principally to assure that my two grandchildren receive the high level of education that the Eanes ISD is known for. We paid a substantial premium for our house precisely for that reason. The project proposed under Case C14-2025-0089 will undoubtedly seriously stress the resources available to the Eanes ISD and deteriorate its ability to maintain the level of education that it is known for. Please postpone until the Educational Impact Statement is completed and reviewed by Eanes ISD.
