CITIZENS PROTEST SHOOTING Mayor Akin introduced to the Council various citizens protesting the police shooting of two Mexican-American youths for an alleged theft near the Municipal Auditorium on South First Street.

Mr. Gus Garcia of the Human Relations Commission, one of the opponents, presented a sketch showing where the incident occurred, also noting that there were three witnesses. Mr. Garcia pointed out that the boys were escaping on a predictable path with adequate lighting and that they could have been easily apprehended without the use of firearms.

March 28, 1968 CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS= HARRY PETERSON By Phil Mockford 6601-6625 Isabelle Drive 6700-6810 Huntland Drive 6700-6804 Brenda Drive From "A" Residence, 1st Height and Area to "C" Commercial, 3rd Height and Area NOT RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission Mr. Phil Mockford stated that the reason the item was before the Council today had to do with the location of the sign. He had given each Council member a drawing of the plan for the sign which fitted within the 2nd Height and Area. It needed a rectangle 20' by 40' from the street. The City had 18', so the actual size of the base for the sign was 20' by 30'. If it came from the street, they would need 20' by 48', locating the west edge of the site 187' from the west boundary line of the property on Isabelle. The pad had 600 square feet and was the part to be zoned "C" 2nd H&A, 187' from the west boundary line of the property which is the east line of Isabelle. Councilman Nichols recalled that Mr. Mockford had stated that he would erect an eight foot privacy fence along the north side of the property; that he would accept "B" for a distance off Brenda for 125' (3 lots); that on the immediate corner he would accept "0" on one or two lots; that he wanted "C" 1st H&A on the rest of the tract with the exception of the 600 square feet which would be zoned "C" 2nd H&A; and that he would provide a buffer zone of 25' along the north boundary line. Mr. Mockford agreed. Councilman Janes stated that the Staff had recommended "GR" on the whole tract and asked Mr. Mockford if it would be reasonable to have the area for the cars zoned "C", and "GR" on the rest of the tract. Mr. Mockford stated that it was a "C" area and to be developed in that manner they preferred to get it all zoned now. Councilman Long moved the Council grant the change from "A" Residence, 1st Height and Area to "C" Commercial, 1st Height and Area except "C" Commercial, 2nd Height and Area for 600 Square feet (sign), "0" Office for the office lease, "B" 2nd Height and Area for a buffer zone, that the privacy fence be built, and that ten feet of right of way on Brenda Drive and five feet of right of way on Isabelle Drive be dedicated. The motion, seconded by Councilman Nichols, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen LaRue, Long, Janes, Nichols, Mayor Akin Noes: None Mayor Akin announced that the change had been granted to "C" Commercial, 1st H&A except "C" Commercial, 2nd H&A for 600 square feet (Sign), "0" office for the office lease, "B" 2nd H&A for a buffer zone, subject to the building of a privacy fence and dedication of ten feet of right of way on Brenda Drive and five feet of right of way on Isabelle Drive, and instructed the City Attorney to draw the necessary ordinance to cover.

Provision of adequate land space for any activity including industrial, commercial, residential, recreational, or others as may be appropriate to the area. 2. Location of uses as closely as possible to supporting facilities consistent with the planning objectives for community improvement. 3. Elimination of blight to include removal of sub-standard structures or parts of structures. 4. Stimulation of new development by: assembling land into more manageable and useful parcels; providing needed improvements, streets, parking facilities, and utilities; enhancing the beauty of the area by landscaping; providing for public walks and hike-and-bike trails; and improving public facilities.

GN 201 b. LAND USE PLAN: 1. Proposed Land Use: Types of land uses proposed are shown on Map No. 2, Proposed Land Use, and the general description for each proposed land use is presented under "e" below. (a). Problems: The G.N.R.P. Area is located in City of Austin Census Tracts 8 and 9 in a portion of the City known locally as East Austin. The relation of this area to the rest of the City is generally shown by Illustrations 1 to 4, inclusive. The boundary of the area is shown on Map No. 1. The G.N.R.P. Area consists of built up areas with some open land. Approximately one-half of the land contains substandard residences, and approximately seventy-five per cent (75%) of all streets are either unimproved or in very bad condition. Ten per cent (10%) of the area contains public facilities (parks, schools, etc.). Boggy Creek traverses the west side of the area from the north at East Twelfth Street to the south at Zaragosa Park and again traverses the south side of the area from the west at Zaragosa Park to the CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 28, 1968 east at Springdale Road. The Texas and New Orleans Railroad right-of-way extends in a north-south direction through the west side of the area generally along Boggy Creek. Also the M.K.T. and Southern Pacific Railroad rights-ofway extend across the southeast corner of the area, from East Seventh Street on the south to Springdale Road on the east. The G.N.R.P. Area lies in the Boggy Creek drainage basin in the general vicinity where the creek discharges from the uplands down to the original plain of the Colorado River. The Boggy Creek flood plain is constricted with numerous encroachments throughout the area. These encroachments have been carried out over a number of years long before the area was taken in by the City of BALE PESET CAPITOL CITY EAST GENERAL NEIGHBORHOOD RENEWAL PLAN TER 86 HALASSOGATES PROPOSED GN 201 LAND Май но MOT AV ますますます LESENE 30303 DET RESIDENCE FLOOD PLAN DEDICATHON SCHOOLS PUBLIC&SE-PUBLIC COMMERCIAL NOUSTRIAL ВИАР ВОЛDAT 7 USE AUSTIN URBAN RENEWAL AGENCY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CHAIRMAN TEX R-86 GN 201 3 CITY, TRAVIE COURT - CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS March 28, 1968 Austin. They consist of roads and bridges, railroad embankments, structures and uncontrolled vegetation. Boggy Creek has always flooded along its flood plain where these encroachments are located and the encroachments have not substantially added to flooding. The problem of flooding originated in the fact that such structures, etc., were placed in areas already subject to flooding. Flooding along Boggy Creek occurs at most places downstream throughout the eastern part of the City of Austin all the way to the Colorado River. However, the extensive flooding occurs along Boggy Creek between 12th Street and Airport Boulevard within the G.N.R.P. Area. Due to the limited main channel capacity in this particular area, it has been considered desirable by the City of Austin to reduce the peak flood flow of Boggy Creek at the point where the creek reaches the flat original flood plain of the Colorado River. This occurs immediately below Webberville Road. These plans have been incorporated into the G.N.R.P. Most of the existing housing units in the B.N.R. area fall in the lowest cost category in the City. The housing units located in the north, west, and south sections of the area are largely renter-occupied. Maintenance of many structures throughout the area has been neglected, and the pattern of lot development is chaotic. The area is covered with blight and blighting influences. Dense population exists in isolated spots where numerous rent shacks are located on individual parcels of land. Structures of all conditions exist throughout the area. There will be a well kept standard residential structure on one lot and on the lot next door there will be a dilapidated residence and outbuildings. There are numerous rehabilitable buildings which need improvements to bring them to standard. (b). Basis of Plan: The predominant planning concept for the land uses as developed was to provide residential housing with supporting facilities. The plan was based upon the condition that adequate housing within the area could be made available for any citizen who wished to remain in the area. (c). Implementation: The purpose of the plan can be carried out through the use of the following land use instrumentation: (1) Elimination of the problems caused by flooding in the G.N.R. Area by providing an adequate flood plain for flood waters to pass downstream without damaging any property and where necessary provide a ponding area to relieve Boggy Creek under flood conditions. (2) (3) Organization of sufficient land area in each of the land use areas in the best possible arrangement for the neighborhood. Provision of community facilities and public improvements necessary to support the proposed land uses. (4) Arrangement of vehicular traffic routes for increased effectiveness. (5) Provision of open space, "buffering" protection, and other environmental features which would enhance development and protect property values. (6) Provision of a variety of housing types to satisfy individual needs, especially in the low-to-medium income levels. (d). Description of the Plan: The land use plan is shown on Map No. 2. The following provides a description of certain features of the plan not readily conceived by a study _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- March 28, 1968 of the map. (1) (2) The areas designated as flood plain dedication have been set aside to accommodate the flood waters from Boggy Creek and no private and limited public development is to take place in these areas. These areas will be kept clear of debris and underbrush. Most of the time it will be possible to use these areas for certain recreational purposes. Hike-and-bike trails will be laid out through flood dedication areas and their proposed routes will make it possible to connect most schools, parks, and public facilities in the G.N.R. Area with surrounding residential areas. (3) (4) The scattered, inadequate shopping facilities in the area will be replaced or supplemented by new shopping center areas. Industrial areas have been greatly reduced and those to remain are to be buffered with fence and hedge screens and other facilities. (5) The land use plan is adopted basically for residential development, and all existing streets and other improvements have been retained to the fullest possible extent when consistent with the intended purpose of the plan in order to preserve the existing salvable homes in the area. (e). General Uses to be Permitted: The general uses to be permitted include the following. More detailed land use controls will be adopted during the planning of a specific project. (1) Low-Density Residential Areas (LDR): The low-density residential areas are designed to accommodate single-family dwellings with some duplex units. (2) Medium-Density Residential Areas (MDR): The medium-density residential areas are designed to accommodate three and fourunit apartment buildings with some duplexes. (3) High-Density Residential Areas (HDR): The high-density residential areas are designed to accommodate multiple unit apartment buildings up to a maximum of three stories in height. (4) Commercial Areas (CA): The commercial areas are designed for three major types of business: the office-studio-clinic type, the small neighborhood shopping center type, and the large district commercial center type. All three types are proin the G.N.R. Area, and the particular uses allowed in each will be set out in detail in the plan for each specific project. (5) (6) Industrial Areas (IA): The industrial areas are designed for commercial and semi-industrial uses to include warehousing, railroads and manufacturing processes which are not obnoxious or offensive by reason of the emmission of odor, dust, smoke, gas or noise. Public and Semi-Public Areas (PA): Public and semi-public uses may be allowed in any land use area as permitted in the zoning ordinance. The public and semi-public uses which will be allowed in each specific land use will be set out in detail in the plan for each specific project. The flood plain dedications (FPD) are limited land use areas. The uses will also be set out in detail in the plan for each specific project. 2. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 28, 1968 Population Densities: In order to arrive at reasonable population density figures it is necessary to establish the development requirements which would result in such population densities. Such requirements are described in following paragraphs. (a). Lot Area: In the low-density residential areas, the recommended minimum lot area is 5,750 square feet for single family dwelling on interior lots and 6,900 square feet for corner lots, and 3,500 square feet per dwelling unit for duplexes. In the medium-density residential areas, the recommended minimum lot area is 3,500 square feet per dwelling unit for duplexes; 2,750 square feet per dwelling unit for 3-family dwellings; and 2,250 square feet per dwelling unit for four-family dwellings. In high-density residential areas, the recommended minimum lot area is 7,500 square feet for the first 5 units and 1,500 square feet for each additional unit. (b). Dwelling Units: It is difficult to specify a "typical" dwelling unit for each area. It is hoped that a variety of designs and sizes will be built to satisfy a wide range of needs. But using a "typical" lot of 120 feet by 60 feet, one would be able to get about four lots per usable acre, "usable acre" being an acre of land which includes the actual lot areas only. It does not include area of streets, easements, and other rights-of-way. The four lots per acre does assume, however, oddities of land due to topography and sizes of land parcels. The probable dwelling units per usable acre were calculated by taking the average of the minimum and maximum dwelling units which could be built thereon. (c). Existing Neighborhood Characteristics: It is estimated that there are approximately 1,500 household units in the Capital City East General Neighborhood Renewal Area, of which approximately 1,350 are occupied by families and 150 by single persons. Families are generally large; the average number of persons per dwelling unit over the entire area is 4.04. (d). Anticipated Density: The table below, TABLE NO. 1, shows the proposed population density in each of the general land use areas.

Building Coverage: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 28, 1968 No land within the project area shall be used except for a purpose permitted in the classification in which it is located. No building shall be erected, converted, enlarged, reconstructed, moved, or structurally altered except for a use permitted in the classification in which it is located. The location and boundaries of the land use classifications are shown on the land use plan, Map No. 2. The maximum building coverage proposed is 40 per cent of the lot area in low and medium residential districts and 40 per cent of the lot area in high density residential districts. Building coverage in commercial and industrial land use areas shall be specifically proposed for specific future definite projects. It is anticipated that buildings in such areas will not occupy more than 45 per cent of the land areas. More detailed building requirements for all areas will accompany future plans for each project. 4. Other Provisions as to Land Use to be Incorporated in Urban Renewal Plans for Specific Projects in order to Achieve Land Use Objectives: (a). Detailed provisions will accompany future project plans. The following general provisions should be used as a guide during the project planning. (b). Existing standard and rehabilitable structures shall remain whereever possible. If the location of such structure is not in the best interest of achieving the objectives of the plan (i.e., would not have proper access, or would not permit satisfactory redevelopment of the surrounding land), a reasonable attempt shall be made to relocate the structure to allow its continued use in the light of these objectives. (c). Off-street parking space requirements shall be provided in accordance with local codes and ordinances. (d). Off-street parking and loading facilities shall be provided by business, industrial and public establishments as specified by local codes and ordinances. (e). Every dwelling unit, or multiple unit development under a single ownership, shall abut on a public street. (f). Screenings of a type sufficient to adequately protect the abutting and adjacent residential property will be required for any and all public, semi-public, commercial and industrial areas to meet local requirements. (h). These provisions and others developed during project planning shall be duly recorded at the time of the adoption of the project plans and run for a period of thirty (30) years from the date of recording.

Area. The Proposed Circulation, Map No. 4, shows the location and classification of existing and proposed expressways and public streets. Maps No. 5 through No. 10 show the main components of the proposed utility systems. 1. Community Facilities: (a). Schools: Public Schools in the G.N.R.P. Area are as follows: Rosewood Elementary School; and Govalle Elementary School. In addition, several schools contiguous to or near the G.N.R.P. Area are also shown on Map No. 3. These schools are as follows: Oak Springs Elementary School; Anderson High School; and Allan Junior High School. Johnson High School, Kealing Junior High School, and Blackshear Elementary School are not located on Map No. 3, since they are outside the limits of that map; however they do serve portions of the G.N.R.P. Area. Most high school and junior high school students and many elementary school students attend these schools outside the Area. The Austin Independent School District Board of Trustees has not officially mentioned any plans for changes in the physical plant of any of these schools, although it is recommended that the following expansions be provided: CAPITOL CITY EAST GENERAL NEIGHBORHOOD RENEWAL PLAN TEX A-36 GN 201 PROPOSED COMMUNITY MOT GARP W G LEGEND DOSTITE BOUNDART PROPOSED SITE BONGARY SAAP SOUNDART ?

Givens District Park, which is a 48-acre recreational facility to serve the East Austin area, is not shown on Map No.3, being outside its limits near the intersection of East 12th Street and Springdale Road, but it serves the residents of the G.N.R.P. Area. (2) Proposed Parks, Playgrounds, and Open Space: Due to the flood dedication of Boggy Creek, the new 90-foot street, and land uses proposed adjacent to them, the boundaries of both Rosewood March 28, 1968 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Park and Zaragosa Park are planned to be revised, increasing the size of Zaragosa Park, but Rosewood Park remains about the same size. A "green-belt" type of hike-and-bike trail, running through the flood dedication of Boggy Creek is planned as a connection between Rosewood Park and Zaragosa Park. Walkway dedications and ponding area will connect this hike-and-bike trail to most schools and playgrounds in the Area. The size of the playground at Govalle Elementary School is planned to be increased slightly for the ever-increasing enrollment of this school. The increase in open space planned for Anderson High School and stadium is proposed for baseball field, building area, or some other use. The proposed size of the parks, playgrounds, and open space in and adjoining the Area are as follows: Hike-and-bike "green-belt" - Inside flood dedication; 13.4 acres; 27.6 acres; Rosewood Park Zaragosa Park Rosewood Elementary School playground 1.1 acres; (Entire school site 2.8 acres) Govalle Elementary School playground 1.8 acres; (Entire School Site 6.5 acres) - Oak Springs Elementary School playground 2.8 acres; (Entire school site 9.0 acres) Anderson High School Stadium and parking area -- 4.9 acres; (Entire school aite 24.6 acres) (c). Other Cultural and Religious Facilities: A branch library is under construction for this area at the Southwest corner of the intersection of Oak Springs Road and Tillery Street. There are twelve churches in the G.N.R.P. Area, seven of which are in clearance areas. The existing church sites to remain in place and the proposed church sites are shown on Map No. 3, and the total acreage to be used for this purpose amounts to approximately 9.0 acres. Rosewood Recreation Center in Rosewood Park has facilities for a well-rounded program of activities for all ages, including dancing, crafts, sports, clubs, drama groups, hillside theater, etc. This area also operates as a playground in the summer program. Doris Miller Auditorium is also located in the park. There is a swimming pool and two softball diamonds in Rosewood Park. Park. There is also a swimming pool and one baseball diamond in Zaragosa There is one baseball diamond at Downs Field which is just outside of the Area north of East 12th Street. March 28, 1968 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS (d). City of Austin Facilities: The City of Austin Water and Sewer Service Yard, located at Webberville Road and Northwestern Avenue, serves a large portion of the East Austin area. Under this Plan, an expansion is proposed for this site along Webberville Road to the proposed Pleasant Valley Road which is to be used for the location of an office building for the Water and Sewer Department of the City of Austin. Both the existing and proposed areas will be screened sufficiently to protect adjoining property. There are no fire stations in the G.N.R.P. Area, but one exists just east of Airport Boulevard outside of the Area. Also, there is a new station proposed just to the north of the G.N.R.P. Area. 2. Public Improvements: (a). Highway and Street System: The existing street pattern for the G.N.R.P. Area is shown on Map No. 12, Existing Land Use. The existing streets do not function for the best transportation of people and goods to and from the area nor do they route non-area traffic around the residential areas. There are many "dead-end" streets and alleys. Many streets are of insufficient width. In some areas there are too many streets and alleys and in others not enough. Only a small percentage (20.7 per cent) of these streets and alleys meet the standards of the City of Austin. Map No. 22 shows the existing street conditions. The existing major traffic generators which affect the area are the schools, the Booker T. Washington housing project, the other public facilities, and the industries located in and near the Area. The proposed street pattern is designed to eliminate as many problems as possible and at the same time to provide a system to serve the area. This proposed street pattern is shown on Map No. 4, Proposed Circulation. An expressway is proposed for East Twelfth Street in the Austin Urban Transportation Study. This study was developed by the City of Austin in cooperation with the Texas Highway Department. A secondary thoroughfare is proposed from the 12th Street expressway south through the G.N.R.P. Area and over the Longhorn Dam to south Austin.

Several important additions must be made to the electric distribution system, mainly due to proposed underground electric and telephone lines, street realignments and land use changes. Several existing main lines should remain in easements for economy. Certain other easements will be required as shown on the specific plans for each project. (5) The proposed telephone network system is shown on Map No. 9. Certain easements will be required, as shown on the plan. Existing telephone network lines will be realigned as needed and new lines will be constructed in conjunction with the electric system as much as possible. (6) The proposed storm sewer system is shown on Map No. 10. The flood plain dedications are proposed in order to control the flood water from Boggy Creek and to keep the proposed developments and existing developments to remain free of this flood water. In addition to the flood plain dedications, this storm sewer system is designed to drain the storm water out of the Area, into Boggy Creek, or into the flood plain dedications. The City of Austin should maintain the flood plain dedications in such a manner as to eliminate conditions which are potential disease and fire hazards. This maintenance will include mowing, spraying, tree work, landscaping, and trail and walk construction work as necessary to eliminate unsafe conditions and to give these areas a pleasing appearance. i CAPITOL CITY EAST GENERAL NEIGHBORHOOD RENEWAL PLAN TEX A-86 dh HON HALLE ASSDATES PROPOSED GN 201 GAS NOT IN GNAP LEGEND PROPOSED GAS MAIN SIZE EXISTIMO BAS MAIN. 3218 GHAP BOUNDARY AUSTIN RENEWAL AGENCY TEX R-86 GN 201 L DISTRIBUTION THE TRACTERA EAST CAPITOL CITY EAST GENERAL NEIGHBORHOOD RENEWAL PLAN TEX -B6 GN 201 MAP NO Η η Hut & ASSOCIATES PROPOSED ELECTRIC NOT IN GNI AUDINEMAL AGENCY DISTRIBUTION.

CLEARANCE AND REDEVELOPMENT The parts of the G.N.R.P. Area in which the contemplated urban renewal action is clearance and redevelopment are shown on Map No. 11, Clearance and Redevelopment Areas, as obtained from a "windshield" survey of the structures. The three classifications of land which will require redevelopment are: Existing Dilapidated Properties: This category represents the highest priority for clearance and includes all properties which are now substandard with no possibility for rehabilitation. Detailed structural surveys made during the planning for each project will record specific properties in this classification based upon criteria setting out the degree of deficiencies to require clearance. Clearance Warranted to Remove Other Bighting Influences: This category includes properties with excessive crowding of structures, without proper access when the plan is implemented, and with structures which would impede the satisfactory redevelopment of an area. Properties Non-Conforming with Proposed Land Use: This category includes standard, rehabilitable, and sub-standard properties in areas with planned land uses different from those for which the property is now used.

An application is pending for loan and grant funds and execution of the project will commence as soon as such funds are available. For convenience, herein, the second project covering all the remainder of the G.N.R.P. Area is called Glen Oaks Project No. 2. This designation is not official and will probably change. The proposed sequence and timing for the two anticipated urban renewal projects are shown in the following Table 2: TABLE 2 RECOMMENDED PROGRAMMING OF TITLE I PROJECTS PROJECT YEAR 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 Glen Oaks Project No. 1 PLANNING EXECUTION Glen Oaks Project No. 2 PLAN- ING EXECUTION GN-202 a. ANTICIPATED MARKET ABSORPTION CAPACITY FOR CLEARED LAND: February 3, 1967 Mr. Leon Lurie Urban Renewal Agency Austin, Texas Dear Mr. Lurie: Re: GNRP Glen Oaks, Austin, Texas At your request I have considered the tentative uses of the land in the GNRP area for the purpose of forming an opinion as to the feasibility of the plan. The general types of land uses recommended seem to be in line with the recommendations in the Glen Oaks Marketability Study except the amount of land _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 28, 1968 recommended for high density residential use seems to be more than the market would justify. The greatest demand in the market is for single family residences in this area. I would recommend a reduction in the land designated for multi-family use and increase the area designated for low density residential use. The recommendations in the Marketability Study will not apply altogether to the general neighborhood redevelopment as the Glen Oaks Project in itself will change the character of the neighborhood. The single family residential sites in the general area should be more desirable for lower priced dwellings while the residential subdivision within the Glen Oaks Project has been recommended for medium to better quality homes. For this reason the area surrounding the project should not compete with the sale of single family building sites within the project itself. If the single family sites in the neighborhood area are considered for low priced dwellings say generally below $10,000, there should be adequate demand and the market should absorb at least one hundred sites per year. At this rate it is my opinion that the market would absorb even more single family sites than has been recommended. I concur with the preliminary plan as to the areas recommended for parks, schools and public use. I also concur with the amount of land recommended for commercial use, however, any recommendation as to the location of these commercial sites would depend upon a more detailed study of the area. The absorp- tion of the commercial sites should be much slower. It would probably be more desirable to withhold the sale of commercial sites until the sale of commercial sites until the sale of residential sites is well under way. I suggest that more land should be designated for churches and institutional These uses could be made a part of the area designated for residential use. use.

PRELIMINARY RELOCATION PLAN The relocation requirements and resources needed to execute the first project within the Capital City East General Neighborhood Renewal Area have been thoroughly analyzed by Code R 223 (Relocation Report) for the Final Project Report of the Application for Glen Oaks Urban Renewal Project, Tex. R-70. We will therefore devote our attention here to the requirements and resources for the second and final project within the Capital City East General Neighborhood Renewal Area. Preliminary analysis indicates that 534 families are to be relocated, of which 281 are non-white and 253 are white. Of the 281 non-white families to be relocated, 69 are estimated to be owner-occupants and 212 are estimated to be renters. Of the 253 white families to be relocated, 228 are estimated to be owner-occupants and 25 are estimated to be renters. Based upon family size indicated in the 1960 census and 1965 revisions or updating by the Austin Urban Renewal Agency, bedroom requirements should be as indicated in the following table: White Non-White 3 or more 3 or more Owner 1 BRM 47 2 BRM 74 BRM 1 BRM 2 BRM BRM 107 27 20 22 Renter 5 8 12 85 61 66 52 82 119 112 81 88 Based upon the same sources as our estimates of family size, income can be illustrated in the following table: White Non-White Less than $3,000 81 163 $3,000 to $5,000 104 76 $5,000 and over 68 42 Total 253 281 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 28, 1968 From this data, we can come to the following conclusions as to relocation requirements: Sales Housing Rental Housing White Non-White White Non-White 1 Bedroom 47 27 2 Bedrooms 74 20 58 85 8 61 3 Bedrooms 107 22 12 66 Total 228 69 25 212 Based upon income data, rental housing requirements will be for 237 rental units renting for less than $50 per month and sales housing requirements will be for 180 dwelling units priced from $7,500 to $12,500 and 110 dwelling units priced at $12,500 or over. Resources to meet these requirements are to be developed within the boundaries of this second project. Based upon the General Neighborhood Renewal Plan, the following resources will be developed solely within the second and final project: Low Density Residential Medium Density Residential High Density Residential Total Dwellings 418 202 692 1,312 The low density residential lots should be developed with dwellings that will sell for an average of $8,000 to $10,000 to include both improvements and land. The Medium Density residential units and the High Density residential units will include 221d3 or rent supplement and privately built units to meet the needs of medium and low cost rental housing. The distribution of these units by bedroom size will recognize relocation requirements. By matching requirements to resources, we can show the following results: Requirement Sales Rental 297 237 534 Resource 418 500 918 In conclusion, our preliminary analysis of relocation requirements and resources indicates that, through the proper use of timing, relocation resources will be more than adequate to meet the relocation requirements for the second project within the Capital City East General Neighborhood Renewal Area. * Although we anticipate the development of 894 rental units, only 500 of these units should be considered a relocation resource for the residents of the area. GN 202 d. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 28, 1968 ACTIONS REQUIRED BY LOCAL GOVERNING AGENCIES: 1. Zoning Changes: The existing land uses in and adjacent to the G.N.R.P. Zrea are generally as shown on Map No. 12. This map shows actual uses being made of the land rather than existing zoning coverage of the land. For instance, multi-family residential is indicated for many areas zoned for single-family residences. The existing zoning is shown on Map No. 13. The proposed zoning is shown on Map No. 14. A comparison of these maps show that the proposed land uses will be well protected from encroachments and from each other. The zoning changes throughout can be classed as major changes since most of the Area is affected in one way or another. 2. Modifications of Codes and Regulations: There will be some requirements for modification of City Codes; however, such modifications will be very limited. Allowances will be necessary to permit variances in building setback lines in certain areas where some existing buildings do not conform with the Code, but where the buildings can be rehabilitated or conserved in such a manner that they do not detract from the neighborhood. Certain changes will be required in connection with the adopted City Master Plan to the extent that the Master Plan will be brought up to date in this Area by the adoption of this G.N.R.P.

The proposed zoning will permit land uses in conformance with the G.N.R.P. Plan and with the Community Renewal Program proposals. The Austin Development Plan will have to be amended to permit residential development in two areas which are presently proposed industrial. Both areas are in the southeast portion of the G.N.R.P. The first is that area bounded by the M.K.T. Railroad, Springdale Road and East 7th Street. The second is that area generally bounded by the M.K.T. Railroad, East 7th Street, Pleasant Valley Road and Prado Street. Both areas have been used residentially since their development. Yours truly, S/ Hoyle M.

February 13, 1967 Mr. Leon M. Lurie Executive Director Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Austin 614 West Sixth Street Austin, Texas Dear Leon: RE: General Neighborhood Renewal Plan Capitol City East, Tex. R-86 Austin, Texas I am an attorney-at-law admitted to practice in the State of Texas. As counsel for the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Austin, my opinion, including factual statements requested by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, is as follows: 1. I have examined the General Neighborhood Renewal Plan prepared by the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Austin, relating to the Capitol City East Area in the City of Austin, County of Travis, State of Texas (hereinafter called the "Plan"), which Plan is more specifically identified as follows: A mimeographed document dated February 7, 1967, entitled "Capitol City East General Neighborhood Renewal Plan," _ CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS: March 28, 1968 consisting of 40 pages including 4 illustrations and 22 pages of maps for the General Neighborhood Renewal Area aforementioned, approved by the Local Public Agency on February 7, 1967. I have also examined a record of the official proceedings respecting the authorization and approval of the Plan by the governing body of the Local Public Agency. 2. The Plan has been duly approved by the Board of Commissioners of the Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Austin. 3. The Plan, when duly approved by the City Council of the City of Austin will be a valid Plan, meeting all the requirements of Title I of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, and other applicable law. The Plan includes all of the provisions and matters required by Section 102 (d) of said Title I. 4. The territorial area covered by the Plan is within the territorial jurisdiction of the Local Public Agency, and such area under State and local law is legally eligible and appropriate for the activities contemplated under the Plan. 5. To my knowledge there is no pending or threatened litigation of any kind concerning the Plan. JOHNSON, JONES AND SHEPPARD S/ Paul D.
