Introduction The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) is Austin's comprehensive, multimodal transportation plan, and it guides our short- and long-term transportation projects, programs, initiatives, and investments. Adopted in April 2019, the ASMP plans for all the ways we get around Austin. Council passed Resolution 20200610-002 in June 2020, “directing the City Manager to amend the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (Ordinance No. 20190411-033) to add the Project Connect System Plan that includes the Locally Preferred Alternatives for the Orange, Blue, Gold, Green, and MetroRapid Lines, as adopted by the Capital Metro Board of Directors, to the ASMP and associated technical elements”. The ASMP is anticipated to go through a deeper evaluation for changes at the five-year mark, therefore, this two-year update is meant to remain limited in scope to respond to the Council Resolution and other significant changes in the past two years. Austin Transportation Department staff officially initiated the process to amend the Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP) in May 2021. The initial phase of this process included an interdepartmental review of the ASMP policy document and the Street Network Table and Map. The interdepartmental review effort identified several potential policy amendments that were published for public comment in October 2021, and Street Network amendments were published for public comment soon after in November 2021. 2. Public Engagement Strategy This 2-year amendment cycle is the first amendment process since the ASMP was adopted in 2019. Since this process was meant to be limited in scope, and because it is the first amendment to the document, the public engagement …

TO: L A W D E P A R T M E N T M E M O R A N D U M ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION FROM: PATRICIA LINK, DIVISION CHIEF, LAND USE AND REAL ESTATE DATE: MARCH 28, 2022 SUBJECT: C14-2018-0124 –RIVER PLACE (MILKY WAY) ZONING & RESTRICTIVE COVENANT This memorandum concerns the neighborhood traffic analysis (NTA) referenced in a public restrictive covenant (RC) associated with Zoning Case C14-2018-0124 for property located on Milky Way Drive (Milky Way). In 2020, City staff and the property owner recorded an affidavit to correct the date of the NTA referenced in the RC. As explained below, this action did not amend or terminate the RC and Council approval was not required. SUMMARY OF THE ZONING CASE HISTORY AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANT ACTIONS In 2018, the property owner (applicant) applied to rezone the property from development reserve (DR) to single family residence large lot-conditional overlay (SF-1-CO). City staff conducted an NTA based on the applicant’s request (Original NTA). The Commission forwarded the request to Council without a recommendation. Before Council considered the case, the applicant amended the rezoning request from SF-1-CO to townhouse and condominium residence-conditional overlay (SF-6-CO). The Commission considered the amended request and forwarded it to Council without a recommendation. After the Commission considered the amended request, City staff revised the Original NTA based on the amended rezoning application (Revised NTA) and included the Revised NTA in Council’s backup materials. Because SF-6-CO was the request presented to Council, the Revised NTA is the controlling NTA. At third reading, Council rezoned the property to SF-6-CO. The applicant signed a RC related to the NTA.1 This RC was recorded in the real property records. See Exhibit A. Subsequently, the applicant notified City staff that the RC did not reference the correct NTA (i.e. Revised NTA). City staff confirmed that the RC included an error because it referenced the Original NTA, not the controlling NTA (i.e. Revised NTA). A correction document does not amend or terminate an existing recorded document but, instead, preserves the validity of the recorded document while still ensuring accurate official records. State law establishes the requirements for correction documents. To correct the date of the NTA, the City and the applicant signed and recorded a correction affidavit. See Exhibit B. The correction affidavit met the requirements in state law and, as a result, does not amend or terminate the …
Zoning and Platting Commission Recommendation Concerning Milky Way at River Place WHEREAS on October 31, 2019 the City Council approved Zoning Ordinance 20191031-044 rezoning the property located at Milky Way Drive from DR to SF-6-CO; and WHEREAS the zoning ordinance limited development to 30 residential units unless there is 1) an additional emergency access point to an external street and 2) traffic is limited to 1,200 trips per day on Milky Way Drive as measured by the greater of the tube count taken at the time of site plan or the ITE Trip Generation Manual; and WHEREAS on October 31, 2019 the property owner signed a public restrictive covenant specifying that development on the Property is subject to the recommendations contained in the Neighborhood Traffic Analysis (NTA) memorandum dated March 13, 2019; and, WHEREAS the restrictive covenant requires a majority vote of the City Council to modify, amend, or terminate the agreement; and WHEREAS on August 11, 2020 a restrictive covenant correction affidavit was signed without City Council approval, substituting the originally-referenced NTA memorandum, dated March 13, 2019, to a different NTA memorandum, dated July 22, 2019, effectively increasing the maximum unit count on the development from 45 to 134; and WHEREAS the tube counts used to measure traffic on Milky Way Drive were collected in March of 2020, at least two years prior to site plan approval, and 8 months prior to the site plan application submission; and WHEREAS in accordance with the restrictive covenant signed on June 9, 2000, the emergency access granted by Austin Christian Fellowship lacks prior written consent from the River Place HOA required to allow driveway access to River Place Blvd. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Zoning and Platting Commission encourages the Austin City Council 1) to pause all clearing and development activity on the property, and 2) to publicly vote to accept or reject the changes to the restrictive covenant made by the staff, and 3) to instruct staff to deny any site plan in excess of 30 residential units until the developer proves compliance with all of the conditions of zoning.

Mr. Kitten, please provide the spreadsheet broken down Sincerely, Anna Pittala 512-443-5874 Hi Anna, by District as multiple citizens have requested. a. We believe that using the published Street Network Amendments map, as well as the printable Map and Table PDFs that you requested, provides a complete view of all the proposed amendments. Council District boundaries are political boundaries and streets cross districts or make up the boundary itself, making the reporting disjointed and more difficult to navigate for the community. For example, S First Street crosses four different districts and you would have to refer to four different tables to see all of the information. The interactive map, map series and table organized by street name are much better tools to use than a geographic distinction like a Council District because we have found that the general community does not know which Council District they are in, but they do know their street name. Our recommendation is to look up this …
City of Austin Zoning & Platting Commission Meeting April 5, 2022 ~ City Hall Council Chamber Comments by Janis Reinken about Item C.01, ASMP Briefing / Possible Action Good afternoon, Madam Chair, Vice-Chair and Members. I am Janis Reinken, a resident of District 7, where I live near White Rock Drive. In my experience as an attorney, I have worked for a municipality, state agencies, the private sector, and most recently 12 years serving Members of the Texas House of Representatives. I serve on the Board of the Allandale Neighborhood Association. Today, I speak on my own behalf. I believe what I have to say accurately reflects the concerns and frustrations of many private property owners in my neighborhood and other sectors of Austin. I would appreciate your close attention. Here’s the problem. The strategy of prospectively designating mass ROW changes in the ASMP adversely affects private property rights. It is not just about updating technical corrections to a transportation plan. It is paving the way for a prospective shift in a city-wide land use and re-zoning policy. And, it fails to meet the requirements of the Texas Property Code. [See attachment, provisions from Chapter 21, TEX. PROP. CODE.] 1. The proposed ASMP amendments concerning designation of prospective Right-of-Way (ROW) are not merely “technical corrections” for a citywide transportation plan. They are substantive changes impacting private real property rights. 2. The advance designation of prospective ROW is premature and amounts to a “pre-taking” of ROW. This strategy is “marking the territory” to reserve ROW for potential unspecified uses later, in the event of land development and zoning changes over an uncertain period of time to facilitate imaginary land development that is not presently formulated or scheduled.1 There are “workarounds” that allow developers to avoid “agreed dedication” of ROW under the LDC; this negates the transportation goals. 3. Suggestions and statements by city staff that proposed expansion of ROW will not be used for Single-Family zoned properties are not sufficient.2 Temporary concessions or assurances made now by current City Council Members, Mr. Spillar or other staff would be worthless in future years, when they no longer work for the City. 4. This strategy places property owners in an untenable position, putting a blight on private property rights of people who live here and work here. It restricts the use of lot frontage and devalues their properties. It affects placement of water, …
Zoning and Platting Commission Austin Strategic Mobility Plan recommendations Transparency: Property owners whose frontage is listed for potential Right-Of-Way acquisition should be notified in their primary language before the City Council vote. Advance notice would prevent owners and tenants not realizing their property was targeted for potential procurement, like with the September 3, 2020, City Council vote on property acquisition for the Corridor Construction Program, until after the fact. Since the ASMP amendments are intended to be an alignment of existing city documents, specify which criteria, code, rules or documents bolster the proposed changes. ASMP technical changes should increase accountability, predictability and provide a better understanding of the rationales behind any changes. Provide definitions of terms. Minimize the impact: Increase the Right-Of-Way only when needed for specific, planned projects and when the required width is stated in the Transportation Criteria Manual. Make technical changes only for projects proposed in the Bike and Sidewalk Master Plans. Given that the ASMP team publicly states that changes are not imminent, and that plans can change (as these ASMP amendments attest), ask for only what is necessary. Austin is at the heart of Flash Flood Alley: Do not increase impervious cover by expanding Right-Of-Way in flood zones or areas with a documented history or increased potential, pending the completion of a study, of localized flooding. Require drainage studies for Right-of-Way acquisition of more than 4,000 square feet through individual or combined parcels. Equity: Include the Equity Office to ensure vulnerable communities are provided safe and equal access to all forms of mobility – pedestrian, bike, vehicle, and public transportation. The input of the Equity Office must provide guidance to ensure public transportation is affordable to all residents and adjusted based on their income while also protecting them from displacement. All public transportation locations must provide shelter from rain and sun, include lighting at night for safety.

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: March 29, 2022: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: AGENT: Kimley Horn and Associates (Amanda Brown) 1 of 8B-2 C14-2022-0014 2 ISSUES: No issues identified at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject property is located on the east side of Sprinkle Cutoff Road approximately 500 feet north of Samsung Boulevard. The I-RR zoned property is undeveloped and heavily vegetated. Properties to the north, east and south are primarily developed with single family residences and are zoned I-SF-2 and PUD (Pioneer Crossing). Across Sprinkle Cutoff Road to the west is undeveloped property zoned SF-6. Further west is property zoned I-RR that is developed with single family residences. Please see Exhibits A and B—Zoning Map and Aerial Exhibit. Staff supports the rezoning request to SF-6. The property across Sprinkle Cutoff Road to the west was rezoned from I-RR to SF-6 in 2017 and other properties in the area are zoned for and developed with single family residences. Granting SF-6 zoning on this tract reflects an equal treatment as the property across the road. Granting of SF-6 zoning also provides the opportunity for a variety of housing types in the area. This reflects the goals and objectives of City Council as outlined in the Strategic Housing Blueprint. Staff has received correspondence regarding the zoning request. Please see Exhibit C- Correspondence. BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION 1. The proposed zoning should be consistent with the goals and objectives of the City Council. Granting of the request should result in an equal treatment of similarly situated properties. 2.

DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: This house would have contributed to the Air-Conditioned Village National Register Historic District, presented to the State Board of Review for the National Register of Historic Places in September 2021. For further information, see the draft nomination at https://www.thc.texas.gov/public/upload/preserve/national register/ draft nominations/Austin%2C%20Air%20Conditioned%20Village%20SBR.pdf. Due to owner opposition to the creation of the district, the nomination failed to move forward. However, this setback does not reflect on the significance of Austin’s Air-Conditioned Village experiment, and the Chrysler Air-Temp House is one of the best-preserved examples of the houses built and studied. Excerpts from the nomination are incorporated herein as relevant for context. This case initially came before the Historic Landmark Commission in June 2020 for a full demolition. The applicant in the 2020 case reconsidered their application for full demolition and submitted plans for a partial demolition and retention of the character-defining features of this house; those plans were reviewed and approved by the Commission. This proposal would have preserved much of the street façade of the house, replacing deteriorated materials …
