Vertical Med Usek MapG Grids Blacka andV While.md  fora any other  6    June3,2007 (NUNA):  Letter to the City Council from the North University Neighborhood Association This letter is in response to our VMU application that the City staff has asked us to fill out. As a matter of zoning, VMU has a potentiaily large impact in our planning area, CANPAC, as well as, in our own particular neighborhood, NUNA. We appreciate the opportunity to provide our input concerning this citywide zoning change. During the 2004 neighborhood planning process, NUNA carefully drafted a NCCD ordinance with flexible tools for redevelopment, which we think will support and compliment future development including VMU. We also support the inclusion of affordable housing at 60% of MFI within the VMU proposal. NUNA, along with the other Central Austin Neighborhoods in CANPAC, is in a unique location adjacent to the University of Texas. CANPAC at large has a unique housing situation since the University of Texas provides little on-campus housing to the largest student body in the country; CANPAC absorbs most of the student body housing within its core demonstrated by the number of 86.4% rentai units. Because of this density, we have a concern regarding parking reductions associated with VMU in our area Since NUNA is the third densest neighborhood in the City, it is evident that we do support density, but we have concerns beyond for issues such as parking and some dimensional standards. NUNA has Opted- Our NCCD has divided. NUNA into districts; the Guadalupe district correlates with the Core Transit Corridor on Guadalupe Street. We have decided to Opt-In 10 properties to VMU from 27" Street to 30 Street. These addresses include: 2711,2801, 2815, 2817, 2825, 2909, 2915, 2917 2927 Guadalupe and 512V W 29" Street with no parking reductions. We also respectfully request to Opt- Out 13 properties along Guadalupe from 30" to 38th Streets (3001,3005, 3023, 3025, 3105, 3423, 3501, 3511,3701,3713 Guadalupe Street, 505 W. 38". Street, 3706 and 3707 Speedway). We scrutinized each property; we arrived at our decision for the VMUOpt-Out by determining what abuts each property- singie family or a residential component. Our setbacks, height provisions, and our districts within the NCCD determine our future growth. We are aware that the NCCD ordinance trumps or supercedes any VMUdevelopment  Out of all parking reductions for any VMU development.  We also feel that some properties on 38th Street (505 W. 38th, 3706'and 3730 Speedway) were inciuded in error on a "Ghost" Transit Corridor- W. 38" Street from Guadalupe1 to Speedway. These properties are iisted on a Core Transit Corridor that mysteriously ends at Speedway. A Core Transit Corridor connects with anotherstreet but should not end In the middie ofe  A. C-14    street that goes nowhere; 35th/38th Street connects logically to Guadalupe, but then it continues with an abrupt end in the middle of 38th at Speedway. No buses travel east Awest on this stretch of 38th between Guadalupe and Speedway. We have also Opted-Out properties on the south side of 38th Street to be consistent with our nelghbors in Hyde Park, who have Opted-Out properties on their side of Ibelleve that this VMU process has been covered well within the structure of the NUNA neighborhood and the overall planning contact team, CANPAC. NUNA has its own Planning Team (NPT) with its own set of bylaws to review items as they arise. Then, the general membership of the neighborhood organization (NUNA has another set of bylaws) will receive on the evening of. June 41 the VMU recommendations (as stated In this letter) from the NPT for approval or disapproval (I will submit this neighborhood vote and minutes to George Adams as soon as Ireceive them.). Additionally, CANPAC, a group composed of members from the 7 neighborhoods with another set of bylaws, has had various meetings to discuss VMU and receive updates on the status of each neighborhood's progress with their individual VMU applications. CANPAC has voted to support the posltions of each individual nelghborhood. The point of all of this is that there will have been 3 reviews of the VMU process for NUNA.  38th Street.

AsIs stated ini the meeting, our neighborhood association scheduled: meeting ist the night of June 4, the deadline for the VMU application. NUNA has its own Planning Team; Iam the chair. We voted in February to make ai recommendation concerning VMU toj present to the whole group, but Ifelt as though I needed more information. In the meantime, I1 have attended more meetings about VMU (more than! I care to acknowledge)! just sol wouldn't miss some important details for the application. I am hoping that we can have aj placeholder application for CANPAC, since NUNA will not be able to supply a vote any earlier than the evening of June 4. Would that be possible?Ithink that you understood from meeting with our group- Laurie Limbacher, Lin' Team, Barbara Bridges, Walter Wucash, an myself, that we have been working on this application diligently.Ieven think that it could be submitted in the morning on June 5. Please let me know. Iwould hate to let down the whole neighborhood and the rest OfCANPAC Would an individual neighborhood planning team vote suffice as avote for VMUissue7-Mingle  with not meeting this deadline.

The following CANPAC members were in attendançe: Laurie Limbacher (Heritage), Jim Damron (Caswell Heights), Tressie Damron (Caswell Heights), Walter Wukasch (UAP), Rick Hardin (UAP), Barbara Bridges (Caswell Heights), Bart Whatley (Hancock), John Foxworth (Shoal Crest), Mary Ingle (NUNA), Rick Iverson (NUNA), Mary Gay Maxwell (NUNA), Linda  Guerrero (Hancock), and AI Godfrey (Heritage).  The meeting agenda was distributed. Included int the agenda were:  Bylaws (Membership requirement discussion and adoption ofbylaws) Mission Statement Discussion (Scope proposed for CANPAC; Process for VMUDiscussion (Completion of the process = what's left to do and who will fill Dean Keeton hotel project update (Dana'se-mail with latest neighborhood  formalizing as statement) out the forms)  information; request from developers) Initial PUD report (Bart'sreport from meeting) Tree Program (How do we want tol handle this?) Next meeting (Date, time location, moderator) Specific time segments were allotted for each item.  BYLAWS- Barbara presented the final draft oft the bylaws with the changes discussed at the last meeting. Jim presented his suggestion for changes to 4C regarding membership that he had earlier distributed and discussed by e-mail. The group discussed this and decided to amend the draft toi include Jim's changes. The vote was taken on the Bylaws. The final vote was 12i in favor and one abstention (Laurie). Laurie noted that she abstained because she had not had time to read the Bylaws. It was noted that there were some typos that needed to be cleaned up in the clean final version. The group also agreed to revisit the discussion of4 4C at the next meeting to see if we still like this version or MISSION: STATEMENT- - Mary Gay noted that we had agreed at the last meeting that we need to come up with ai mission statement. Barbara read what the city says that the PARANSA contact.htm). We agreed that we perhaps have a broader vision for CANPAC that just whati is noted there. Laurie suggested wel havea committee to this and report back to the whole group. Barbara said that the group should e-mail committee members with ideas. The committee will include: Mary Gay, Jim VERTICAL MIXED USE - Reports were given on discussions, decisions, etc. in the individual neighborhoods regarding VMU. Laurie: reported that Heritage, which has the most affected properties in our area, had had ai number ofmeetings and that members were split on the issue of opting in/out. Consequently, they will currently opt out of  want to make any amendments.  planning team should doi in Neighborhood: Plan Contact Teams"  Damron, Barbara, and Lin Team.  ATACHMENT B-I    everything and continue working on the issue for the next 45 days. NUNA has been discussing the issue and has the information for the CANPAC forms but they will not have an official neighborhood vote until theiri next meeting on June 4#. She said she checked with George. Adams and he said this process was O.K. Hancock noted that they were not on any CTCs but had some opt-ins on Red River. Caswell Heights reported that they would currently recommend opting out of all properties -1 those on the Lamar Block and the few MUs elsewhere - in light ofUNO being sO close and the fact that the issue ofnot wanting dense residential on both sides ofthe neighborhood has been the neighborhood's wish for many years. They may look at individual properties in the 45 day extension period. Shoal Crest will opt out of all in their area. UAP reported that their board had recommended that they opt out of everything because the feel that UNO offers more: and because they are already heavily invested in design guidelines that might come into conflict with VMU guidelines. Laurie reported that Lin told her that Eastwoods is opting out of everything. There was discussion about the concern that the addresses on the maps arei not always right and do not seem to include all addresses. Rick suggested that we list all possible addresses for aj property. Laurie reminded us that we need a CANPAC vote on1 this. She made a motion that CANPAC vote to support each neighborhood's list of opt-in/opt-outs and have the subcommittee of those who have been working on the forms fill out the final report. The vote was taken and it was unanimous. Those subcommittee members that will be filling out the final: forms for June 4t submission are: Walter, Bart, Jim, Laurie, Mary, Lin and. John. [Someone from DEAN KEETON PROJECT: Mary Gay read Dana'se-mail. She then reported that she received aj phone call from Carl Kernodle, representing the developers oft the project, He wanted to meet with her about the project. She told him that he'd havet to meet with the whole CANPAC group ifhe wanted to present information on the project. John suggest wei invite him to our next meeting and givel him a specific amount ofallotted time to make his presentation. Barbara suggested that wei may want tol hear from both the neighborhood and the developer at some point. The Planning Commission hearing has been postponed until June 26". Staffis recommending that the application be denied based on1 the contents of our plan. They are recommending ai much lower height. MF-6is currently the base zoning for thej property, so they would need a zoning change for greater heights. The neighborhood is currently split over height issue. Some want the height and funds for the neighborhood from the developer as a result of agreeing to higher heights while others don'twant thel heights suggested. Rick said he thought we really needed toj pay attention to what the neighborhood wants, but ifther neighborhood remains divided then we need to make a decision based on our plan. Tressie said she thought we'di really upset ai neighborhood is we went against a united neighborhood. Mary Gay mentioned that that's one of the reasons we: need ai mission statement. Jim said he thought we needed to decide what our. jurisdiction is. Rick noted that NUNA is worried about precedent with this project because the State Hospital might want to push for greater heights. Hei thinks it's really important tol have our. Eastwoods representatives at the next meeting. The group agreed that we would invite the developer to the next * meeting. Bart will resend usl his earlier e-mail about the hotel. It was suggested that we tell the developer we need information on the site plan, elevations, density and traffic  Eastwoods needs to be added to this subcommittee.)  ACHMENT B.A    studies. Mary Gay will contact the developer and extend ani invitation for our next meeting. All suggested that wet tell the developer that he will have 10 minutes for his presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Tressie suggested that we also invite the neighborhood, but the rest ofthe group said that this should just be for CANPAC and the developer. The CANPAC representatives: from Eastwoods will already be at the meeting. Ift the neighborhood wants to meet with us, that can be at another time. PUD REPORT (Bart): Bart reported that Brewster, Mike and Lee arel looking at how to redo the PUD: requirements in the code especially as it relates to the problems connected withi infill areas that aren'treally meant for PUDs. The meeting that he went to seemed to be the birth ofap possible task force to look into the matter. There were both neighborhood folks and developers at the meeting. Neither the developers or neighborhoods are happy with the current process. One oft thei issues they will be looking ati is whether the city should perhaps shoulder some ofwhat ifr now going into private covenants between the neighborhoods and the developers to take some oft the burden off the neighborhoods having to try to enforce them. Two overriding questions that were discussed were: (I)V What are the characteristics and qualities that make aPUD superior? TREE: PROGRAM: The question for discussion on this topic was what do we want to do about it. Mary Ingle said she really would like us to participate but that we currently have too much on our plate tol be able to get an application together for this year. She suggested we put it off for ay year. The group suggestion was that we convey the thought tol Laura Patlove that we'd really like to be considered for next year. MISCELLANEOUS: Mary Gay asked for an explanation of the notice she received re the restrictive covenant at 21 Rio. Rick explained that this was an old covenant and had nothing to do with the current project as we knew it. He mentioned that he'd sent an e- NEXT MEETING: The group decided to next meet on.

[Minutes reported by Barbara Bridges]  ACHMENT B.9    June3, 2007  Dear Mayor Wynn and City Councli Members: Neighborhood ber removed from the VMU overlay.  Heritage Neighborhood Associgtionequests: that all properties within Heritage Ourecommendalion isi intended primarily as a placenolder" response whose purpose is to preserve rights afforded by the City'srecent 45-day extension of the "opt-out" period. We elect to use the next 45 days to further consider With this ieffer we would also like to communicate our concerns about the ordinance. We are especially concerned: since Heritage is a neighborhood that historically has had density, a wide range of affordable housing and a mlx of uses within the properties. We aiready practice what the VMU ordinance attempts to achieve. Below, therefore, we raise our eight concerns: 1. The ordinance is confusing and overly complex. The ordinance grants very substantial increases in development rights in Heritage. Our experience tells US that this combination of factors will lead to problems 2. The potenfial impact of relaxed dimensional standards Is severe. This "density bonus"i is not appropriate for Heritage, especially In locations adjacent to single-family and multifamily properties. The likely structure of any VMU projecti is an attractive facade facing the Core Transit Corridor with a concrete parking ramp in the back facing US, the nelghborhood. 3. Our neighborhood currently provides an excepfionally large varely of affordable housing options, ranging from apartments to small cottages to single-family homes. According to the Clty's own statistics, West University (whlch includes Heritage) has a median family income of $20,099. Obviously, Heritage is aiready doing more than enough to provide affordable housing options and should not be required tor make concesslons to developers to gain additional affordable. residential units. 4. One of the primary stated purposes of the ordinance is the prevenfion of urban sprawi. But adding housing downtown has not deterred developers from undertaking massive projects In rural areas. Sewer lines, utilities and roads continue to be built at a rapid rate In ther region 5. The cily should implement enhanced mass transit before contemplating the addition of denslty to the Core Transit Corridors. In proposing huge development before more mass transit is added, the city isessentlally putting the cart before the horse. We aiso understand that  implementation of the VMU overlay.  with implementation of the ordinance.  surrounding Austin.  ATCB    the federalfunding formula has changed by making it more expensive, and therefore more difficult, toimplement a light rail plan. 6.We are concerned about our small local businesses, such as Flamingo Automofive, Tom'sTabooley, Antone's Records, Amy's Ice Creamand Toy Joy. The VMU ordinance has the potential to push these businesses out through the combination of rising property value and taxes. Many of US patronize these businesses and feel that they are ani important part of the fabric of our neighborhood. Indeed, out of the approximately fifly businesses in Heritage along Guadalupe and Lamar, only three, Starbucks, Sprint and Buffalo Exchange, are national chains. We are proud of our neignpornoodsrole as ani incubator for local businesses and hope to 7. When passed three years ago, we belleved our city-approved Nelghborhood Plan would be the template for fulure development. Our residents devoted many, many hours to create a viable plan that included upzoning to add density, especially in West Campus. Now, through the VMU ordinance, the Cityi is imposing more density on Heritage than what was agreed toi in the Neighborhood Plan. 8. - We are woried that these development rights will have a disproportionate impact on Heritage Neighborhood. Our viable historic neighborhood is only four blocks wide, bounded on three sides by Core Transit Corridors. These factors justify a cautious approach to the granting Thank you for making an effort to understand our concerns. Wel look forward to having a dialogue with you about the impact VMU will have on our small yet  remain that way.  of new development. rights in our neighborhood.  diverse neighborhood.
