I hope I find you well. Thank you for your email. We have not received an application to rezone this property to PD. I have spoken to the property owner and Ms. Braasch regarding the PD request and application process; however, the application has not been submitted as of today. The only case we have on file is the former rezoning case when they were requesting Neighborhood Business with a Conditional Overlay (NB-CO). If I may be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Rivera Circle Importance: High Hello, It is my understanding that Jennie Braasch, with Pohl Partners, has a rezoning case in where she is requesting PD zoning for a property off of South Rivera Circle. The City of Austin is currently processing a rezoning request to the south of this site at 2610 ½ South Lakeline Boulevard (Please see attached zoning case report for Sun Auto, case C14-2021-0003). Could let me know the status of Ms. Braasch’s rezoning request in Cedar Park? The City of Austin Zoning and Platting Commission will review case C14-2021-0003 again on September 21, 2021 and would like to know what is occurring on the adjacent property to the north within Cedar Park.

Please include this in back-up for Tuesday. Thank you, Victoria Haase Thrower Design www.throwerdesign.com Mail: P.O. Box 41957 Austin, Texas 78704 512-998-5900 Cell 512-476-4456 Office From: Victoria Sent: Thursday, September 9, 2021 1:02 PM To: Cc: Ron Thrower <> Subject: RE: The Rhett - 1000 E Yager Lane Good Afternoon All, We’ve received some additional questions that are addresses below. 1. How will the privacy be maintained for homes that back up to the west side of Copperfield Drive? The structures on the three lots (addressed from Zeller Lane) are nearly 300ft and more from the proposed structures to be built. This creates a significant buffer such that the new units will not be looming over the yards of those homes. The houses on Markham that back up to the subject tract are, at a minimum, 134feet and as far as 189ft from the proposed buildings. In addition to trees being preserved on the property, more trees will be planted with some along Copperfield Drive. 2. Additional concerns that the proposed development will be run-down and not taken care of. Reiterating that as an affordable housing development, the owner is required to keep ownership of the development for a minimum of 15 years. Therefore, this will not be a scenario where the property is developed and flipped to someone else with little to no knowledge of these conversations/concerns. Further, there will be state and local oversight, with various inspections, some occurring annually, to ensure that the project is meeting the requirements of the program. It is in the best interest of the landowner to keep the property in good standing because if not, the landowner/developer will have financial penalties/repercussions. 3. Is this development Section 8 housing? No. 4. How much are the proposed rents? The following are the rent maximums according to 2021 Austin Metropolitan Statistical Area data and are subject to change over time as the data changes. This development is proposed to have all units at 60% or 50% MFI levels. Therefore, a family of 4 …
