(D) The board shall meet monthly 5:30p.m. on the second Monday of each month at Austin City Hall. In November of each year, the board shall adopt a schedule of the meetings for the upcoming year, including makeup meeting dates for the holidays and cancelled meetings. (E) The chair may call a special meeting, and the chair shall call a special meeting if requested by three or more members. The call shall state the purpose of the meeting. A board may not call a meeting in addition to its regular scheduled meetings as identified in its adopted meeting schedule, more often than once a quarter, unless the meeting is required to comply with a statutory deadline or a deadline established by Council. I (F) Six members constitute a quorum,_however, in order to approve a zoning variance or special exception, or to reverse an administrative decision on appeal, the following rules apply: (i) The affirmative vote of three-fourths of all qualified voting members is required.

(ii) For purposes of calculating a required super-majority, the total number of positions excludes any vacancies (i.e., seats for which no appointment has been made) and members who are legally disqualified from voting on a particular case. For example, if one position is vacant and another position is held by a member who is legally required to recuse herself on a particular matter, then the required super-majority for that case would be 7 votes (i.e., three-fourths of 9, rounded to the nearest whole number). (G) If a quorum for a meeting does not convene within one-half hour of the posted time for the meeting, then the meeting may not be held.

From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Attachments: Hall, Stephanie Boards and Commissions Rodriguez, Joseph 2022 Regular Meeting Schedule Wednesday, October 6, 2021 6:03:17 PM Reservation Form.docx Dear Liaisons, That time of year has come upon us once again - it’s time to approve annual schedules! Although there is still some uncertainty in how meetings will look next year, each board or commission should approve their regular meeting schedule as they “normally” would. Please make sure your board or commission approves their 2022 regular meeting schedule in October or early November. Once approved, please send the approved schedule over to me (and Cc: Joseph) to review. We must receive the approved schedule by November 30th to maintain the Board’s place in the scheduling queue. The schedules should be approved as if meetings will be occurring in person. Adjustments will be made should anything change. Is your Board or Commission wanting to change the regular date/time of their meetings? Keep in mind any potential changes may cause rippling scheduling conflicts. Most boards and commissions have established dates and times to maintain a decent rotation and room availability. We will likely not be able to accommodate any changes in the schedule for City Hall rooms. Additionally, we are currently ONLY able to utilize Chambers or the Boards and Commissions Room for meetings at City Hall due to occupancy limits in place to accommodate social distancing. There is no telling when or how that will change, so I’m including a list of alternate contacts for other meeting locations below. Does your Board/Commission normally meet in City Hall? In addition to the approved schedule, complete and send the attached room request form. Typically reservation requests for City Hall should be sent to the reservation desk, but please send the annual requests to Joseph or I so they can be reviewed first. Other things to keep in mind: Please have the schedule discussion and approval on your B/C agenda as soon as possible. Schedules must be APPROVED by the Board or Commission to be added to the scheduling queue. Do not send us any draft calendars. We will not begin booking rooms until Council and Council Committees have approved their schedules and booked the necessary rooms. City Hall is at capacity – priority is given to meetings that have historically met in a specific room during a specific date/time. However your approved schedules must be submitted on …
Dear Commissioners, I am reaching out to you regarding Item A.1, which is the City Staff’s proposal to move future Board of Adjustment, Planning Commission and Zoning and Platting Commission Meetings to a new location in far North Austin. In regards to this item, please know that I am not speaking on the behalf of the Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan Contact Team, but this item is on our next meeting's agenda, which is scheduled for December 13, 2021. It is listed on the SCNPCT Agenda as a "Discussion and Possible Action" item. The SCNPCT membership was alerted on this issue during our last meeting, but it was too late for us to formally consider and respond (vote) to any concerns we may have. I must say that we were extremely surprised to know this was even being considered. Our Contact Team represents residents from the City of Austin and Del Valle. As a D2 resident, I would fully support any efforts to ensure the Board of Adjustment, Planning Commission and Zoning and Platting Commission meetings stay centrally located at City Hall. Moving the meetings would add an undue burden to the residents in far SE Austin and Travis County. As you are aware, our population is very diverse and mostly representative of low-income and people of color, plus there would be challenges in having access to public transportation in order to make meetings on time or even return home safely, if there is any public transportation available when the meetings run extremely late. I do not think the Equity Office was consulted on the impact this move would have for vulnerable populations? The City Hall location is central and the logically best location for all residents when it comes to equal access for all residents. Additionally, because City Hall is centrally located, the surrounding residents and businesses would be best equally served, including equally disadvantaged. If the meetings are moved far North, those living and/or working in South Austin, particularly SE Austin, will be at a much greater disadvantage to publicly engage in BOA, PC and ZAP hearings. This could have an adverse impact on our community when equal access to community engagement is not afforded to the residents of the City of Austin and Travis County. With all the growth in our area, specifically in Southeast Austin, it will make it harder if not impossible for our community to …

Like many of my fellow Austinites from district 3, leaving work to attend a meeting at noon on a weekday would require me to take PTO. Board members and commissioners already donate considerable time to serving their city and that time expenditure is tripled for those elected to serve as chair. With the holiday season almost upon us, it's not feasible for me at this time. I'd like to add that offering a tour of the facility, while a nice gesture, doesn't address our concerns about the lack of equity, accessibility, transparency, and public input the majority of us on the sovereign boards agree are significant problems with the proposed move. Instead, I propose a special called joint meeting of the Board of Adjustment, Planning Commission, and Zoning and Platting Commission at Austin City Hall. The week of November 29th is the fifth week of the month which should allow for easy booking of the main chamber in the evening. I believe it would be appropriate if the city manager, an ex-officio member of the Planning Commission like myself, were there to discuss the issues the PDC creates for holding hearings and meetings. Once you have a confirmed date, I'll work with our liaison to communicate time and agenda items with the BoA members. Respectfully, ---------- Jessica Cohen Chair Board of Adjustment From: Alexander, Jason <Jason.Alexander@austintexas.gov> Sent: Friday, November 12, 2021 3:08 PM To: Kiolbassa, Jolene - BC <bc-Jolene.Kiolbassa@austintexas.gov>; Shaw, Todd - BC <BC- Todd.Shaw@austintexas.gov>; Cohen, Jessica - BC <BC-Jessica.Cohen@austintexas.gov> Cc: Lucas, Denise <Denise.Lucas@austintexas.gov>; Truelove, Rosie <Rosie.Truelove@austintexas.gov>; Moore, Andrew <Andrew.Moore@austintexas.gov>; Rivera, Andrew <Andrew.Rivera@austintexas.gov> Subject: Invitation to Meet, re: Permitting & Development Center Chairs Kiolbassa, Shaw, and Cohen Good afternoon.

November 29, 2021 Joint Meeting of BOA, PC and ZAP Question and Answer Report Item A1 Land Use Commissions Use of Austin City Hall Commissioner Richard Smith, Board of Adjustment: 1. Why did City management decide to move BOA meetings to PDC without informing BOA or the public? 2. When City management made its decision to move BOA meetings to PDC, what considerations were given to the PDC's lack of central location, and the burden on the public and BOA members to come to PDC rather than City Hall? 3. What are City management's responses to the "Whereas" points made in the BOA resolution dated November 8, 2021? 4. When City management made its decision to move BOA meetings to PDC, what considerations were given to possible public perceptions of the move, such as the perceived importance (or lack thereof) of BOA to City development and growth. Pending Pending Pending Pending Vice-Chair Kiolbassa, Zoning and Planning Commission: Why was the ICRC certification meeting held at the PDC instead of in City Council Chambers, like it was in 2013? Staff Response: Room within City Hall were unavailable. What groups will be using council chambers when the land use commissions vacate? Pending; forwarded to Office of the City Clerk for response. Where in the Zucker Report does it recommend that land use commissions move from City Hall? Staff Response: The Zucker report has no recommendations on meeting locations.

ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 16, 2021: November 2, 2021: NOTIFICATION ERROR; RENOTIFICATION FOR NOVEMBER 16, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Not yet scheduled ORDINANCE NUMBER: ISSUES: None at this time. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject rezoning area consists of three platted lots, is located at the intersection of Manchaca Road and Keilbar Lane, and zoned family residence (SF-3) district. There are offices and a church and school that access Manchaca Road to the north (LO-CO). Keilbar Lane contains undeveloped land, single family residences and manufactured homes on lots annexed into the City limits in the mid-1980s. There are single family residences and manufactured homes to the east and on the cul-de-sac (DR), and undeveloped lots on the south side of Keilbar, including 23 townhouse-style units planned for 1903 and 1905 Keilbar under the City’s SMART Housing program (SF-6; SF-3).

This district is appropriate for multifamily residential areas located near single family neighborhoods or in an area for which low density multifamily use is desired. 2.

Ron Thrower) CASE MANAGER: Sherri Sirwaitis (512-974-3057, sherri.sirwaitis@austintexas.gov) STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends GR-MU-CO, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District, zoning. The conditional overlay will prohibit the following uses on the property: Automotive Sales, Bail Bond Services, Commercial Off-Street Parking, Drop-Off Recycling Collection Facility, Exterminating Services, Off-Site Accessory Parking, Pawn Shop Services and Personal Improvement Services. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: November 16, 2021 CITY COUNCIL ACTION: ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 14B-2 C14-2021-0155 2 ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The 1.73 acre property under consideration consists of two undeveloped lots that front onto Lyndhurst Street and North FM 620 Road. Across the street at the northeast corner of Lyndhurst Street and N. FM 620 Road, there is a former service station that is now being utilized for a lawn care company (Grassworks) and an elementary school (Forest Creek Elementary). To the south, there is a multifamily development (Lakeline Square Townhomes) and a religious assembly use (Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses). The property the west is zoned LO and is developed with an office (State Farm Insurance). In this case, the applicant is requesting CS-MU zoning to develop an undetermined use at this location. The staff is recommending GR-MU-CO, Community Commercial-Mixed Use-Conditional Overlay Combining District zoning. The property meets the intent of the zoning district and is consistent with surrounding land use patterns.

The Community commercial (GR) district is the designation for an office or other commercial use that serves neighborhood and community needs and that generally is accessible from major traffic ways. Mixed Use combining district is intended for combination with selected base districts, in order to permit any combination of office, retail, commercial, and residential uses within a single development. Conditional Overlay combining district may be applied in combination with any base district. The district is intended to provide flexible and adaptable use or site development …

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LANDMARK DESIGNATION: Architecture, Historical Associations, and Community Value: HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION ACTION: October 25, 2021: Recommended historic zoning. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: DEPARTMENT COMMENTS: The house is beyond the bounds of the Comprehensive Cultural Resources Survey (1984) and has never been included in a city survey. CITY COUNCIL DATE: ACTION: ORDINANCE READINGS: 1ST 2ND 3RD ORDINANCE NUMBER: CASE MANAGER: Steve Sadowsky PHONE: 974-6454 NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION: Austin Independent School District, Austin Lost and Found Pets, Austin Neighborhoods Council, Friends of Austin Neighborhoods, NW Austin Neighbors, Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation, Northwest Austin Civic Association, SELTexas, Sierra Club, Austin Regional Group, TNR BCP - Travis County Natural Resources BASIS FOR RECOMMENDATION: Architecture: The house was built by local builder Walter Carrington for African-American dentist Dr. Sidney White, Jr. and his wife, Helen, in 1968. The house is a wing-and-gable plan ranch-style house with features of mid-century Modern design. It has a brick veneer exterior with weeping mortar, a relatively rare architectural feature in Austin. The original door and windows have been replaced. The house now has casement windows which fit into the original window openings and do not materially alter the feeling of the original construction. The house was built by Walter Carrington, a prolific homebuilder in central Texas, who began his career in Austin in the early 1950s.

Many of his homes, such as this one, are located in the Northwest Hills neighborhoods of Austin, but he was also responsible for most of the houses in University Hills, east of IH-35 during the same period. Carrington was a very open-minded builder: he did not engage in the still-then …

Like many of my fellow Austinites from district 3, leaving work to attend a meeting at noon on a weekday would require me to take PTO. Board members and commissioners already donate considerable time to serving their city and that time expenditure is tripled for those elected to serve as chair. With the holiday season almost upon us, it's not feasible for me at this time. I'd like to add that offering a tour of the facility, while a nice gesture, doesn't address our concerns about the lack of equity, accessibility, transparency, and public input the majority of us on the sovereign boards agree are significant problems with the proposed move. Instead, I propose a special called joint meeting of the Board of Adjustment, Planning Commission, and Zoning and Platting Commission at Austin City Hall. The week of November 29th is the fifth week of the month which should allow for easy booking of the main chamber in the evening. I believe it would be appropriate if the city manager, an ex-officio member of the Planning Commission like myself, were there to discuss the issues the PDC creates for holding hearings and meetings. Once you have a confirmed date, I'll work with our liaison to communicate time and agenda items with the BoA members. Respectfully, ---------- Jessica Cohen Chair Board of Adjustment From: Alexander, Jason <Jason.Alexander@austintexas.gov> Sent: Friday, November 12, 2021 3:08 PM To: Kiolbassa, Jolene - BC <bc-Jolene.Kiolbassa@austintexas.gov>; Shaw, Todd - BC <BC- Todd.Shaw@austintexas.gov>; Cohen, Jessica - BC <BC-Jessica.Cohen@austintexas.gov> Cc: Lucas, Denise <Denise.Lucas@austintexas.gov>; Truelove, Rosie <Rosie.Truelove@austintexas.gov>; Moore, Andrew <Andrew.Moore@austintexas.gov>; Rivera, Andrew <Andrew.Rivera@austintexas.gov> Subject: Invitation to Meet, re: Permitting & Development Center Chairs Kiolbassa, Shaw, and Cohen Good afternoon. …
