Zoning and Platting Commission Resolution (King version 2) Floodplain Commercial Redevelopment Exception Code Amendments Whereas the new National Oceanic Atmospheric Association “NOAA” ATLAS 14 rainfall information indicated increased rainfall levels within the City of Austin and the city adopted new regulations in an effort to protect the residents from flooding based on a better understanding of flood risk with this new rainfall information; and, Whereas the Austin City Council directed City staff, boards, and commissions to initiate public processes to consider proposed code amendments to City floodplain regulations based on Atlas 14 floodplain data; and Whereas The City of Austin contacted more than 2,700 people at 110 different meetings and following that outreach on November 14, 2019 the City of Austin adopted new regulations with four basic elements: • Floodplain definitions, • Residential redevelopment exception, • Colorado River exception, • Increased Freeboard, and Whereas A significant number of residential and commercial properties are in the floodplain and that number increased when the new Atlas 14 regulations were adopted; and Whereas the key goals of the code amendments are to increase public safety and decrease flood risks; and, Whereas the City Council and City of Austin are committed to equity in the development and implementation of land development policies and code amendments.

Direct the City Manager to provide annual public updates on the following recommendations from the Flood Mitigation Task Force: a. City Council should conduct a periodic (e.g. every 5 years) financial and organizational audit of the Watershed Protection Department to evaluate staffing resource allocations, program effectiveness, and the successful implementation of master plan goals and objectives, b. The City should not grant variances for development or redevelopment that may lead to future flooding or annex property that may already be a flood concern, c.

Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission encourages the City Council to consider the following recommendations regarding the proposed floodplain commercial redevelopment exception code amendments: 1.

Finished floor elevation is at least 2 feet above the 100-year floodplain c. Does not increase the building square footage on the property d. Does not include the following uses: i. E (educational); ii. F (Factory iii. H (High Hazard) iv. I (Institutional) e.

Improving Connectivity Resolution Zoning and Platting Commission Whereas; Priority Program 1 in the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan calls for “investment in a compact and connected city through the coordination of capital investments, incentives, and regulations;” and Whereas; according to the 2020 Imagine Austin Compact and Connected Indicators, developed land area, annual unlinked transit passenger trips, vehicle miles traveled per capita, percentage of trips by biking and walking, and transportation system total annual delay are all “headed in the wrong direction;” and Whereas; fatalities, serious injuries, and total crashes in Austin have increased year over year in the Austin area since 2018; and Whereas; designing communities with options for bicycling and walking increases opportunities for physical activity, especially for children and families; and Whereas; car ownership in Texas costs almost $10,000 a year; and Whereas; dead-end streets and disconnected networks increase vehicle miles traveled and time spent in the car, which have been associated with obesity, decreased opportunities for active travel, stress, impacts on mental health, less time to spend with family and friends, and less time to engage in community activities. Whereas, connected street networks help reduce traffic on major thoroughfares, are cheaper to build and maintain; and Whereas a connected street grid makes walking, biking, and transit use more desirable options; and Whereas, the way streets are laid out now determines the pattern for future growth; and Whereas subdivisions with too few access streets results in dangerous situations in the event of flooding or wildfires; and Therefore, be it resolved that the Zoning and Platting Commission recommend that the Austin City Council seek to revise and amend Land Development Code sections § 25-4-151 through § 25-4-157 to meet the intent of Imagine Austin Priority Program and seek to enhance connectivity and affordability in new subdivision design; and Be it further resolved that the proposed changes recommended by the Zoning and Platting Commission are: 1. § 25-4-151 – Require connections and alignment of all stub out streets of a new subdivision to existing or proposed streets. If street connection infeasible, provide connection through a multi- use trail; and 2. § 25-4-152 – Prohibit dead-end streets and/or cul-de-sacs unless the director determines that topography, natural features, or unusual conditions make connection to an existing or proposed street infeasible; and 3. § 25-4-152 – If allowed by the director, a dead-end street and/or cul-de-sac must be no longer than 300 feet and …

There are Personal Services (West End Salon and Crimson Hair Salon) to the north and west. The lots to the east are developed with office uses. To the south, there is an office use and a residence. The applicant is requesting DMU zoning to redevelop these lots with office uses. The property is located within the Northwest District in the Downtown Area Plan. The Downtown Area Plan calls for DMU 60 for these tracts (please see attached Exhibit D- Downtown Austin Plan Exhibits).

Site development regulations are intended to permit combinations of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. 2.

The property is in the Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU) subdistrict and is developed with 120 multifamily units that are approximately 36 years old.

The Applicant has requested the single family residence-small lot – historic area – neighborhood plan (SF-4A-HD-NP) district in order to facilitate a resubdivision of the lot and build a single family residence on the north side of the rezoning area on a new lot.

C20-2022-002 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT REVIEW SHEET Amendment: C20-2022-002 Commercial Parkland Dedication Description: Consider an amendment to Title 25-1 of the City Code to require parkland dedication for commercial developments. Proposed Language: See attached draft ordinance. Summary of proposed code amendment • Parkland dedication would apply to new commercial developments, specifically office, retail, industrial/warehouse, and hotel uses. This would be in addition to the existing residential requirements currently in effect. The commercial requirement would use the current formula of 9.4 acres of parkland per 1,000 new users of the parks system. The commercial uses would be calculated based on the number of employees per square foot, discounted by hours of operation, occupancy rate, and commuter percentage rates. Criteria for dedication and fee in-lieu would remain the same as for residential developments. • • Background: Initiated by City Council Resolution 20220407-042 On April 7, 2022, Council approved resolution No. 20220407-042, which initiated code amendments to the Parkland Dedication Ordinance in City Code Chapter 25- I (General Requirements and Procedures) to require parkland dedication for office, industrial, and commercial developments; and directed the City Manager to place the code amendment on an upcoming Council agenda that provides Council with sufficient time to adopt the ordinance and place the fee into the Fiscal Year 2023 budget; a 10-0 vote with Council Member Harper-Madison off the dais. Staff Recommendation: Staff brings forward the amendment with recommendation. Board and Commission Actions July 12, 2022: To be reviewed by the Planning Commission.
