PUBLIC HEARING - ELIGIBLE BLIGHTED AREA Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 5:00 p.m. to continue the hearing on designation of an Eligible Blighted Area pursuant to the Rules of Issuing Industrial Development Bonds issued by the Texas Industrial Commission. Mr. Albert. DeLaRosa, Acting City Attorney, addressed Council as follows: نے Council Memo AREA - (Continued) 7 January 21, 1982 "The purpose of this public hearing is to consider the designation of an eligible blighted area. pursuant to the issuance of Industrial Development Bonds that have been promulgated by the Texas Industrial Commission. Previously the City Council has authorized the creation of the Austin Industrial Development Corporation pursuant to the Development Corporation Act of 1979. This is the Act which regulates the issuance of Industrial Development Bonds throughout the State of Texas. The Development Corporation Act was amended by the Texas Legislature in 1981 to authorize financing of commercial facilities which are those that do not qualify as manufacturing or industrial projects if those facilities qualify as a project. The Texas Industrial Commission has promulgated certain rules for the authority to issue bonds for these type of commercial projects. One of the main criteria for the issuance of industrial development bonds for commercial projects is that these projects be located within an area which has been designated as a blighted or economically distressed area of the City. These blighted areas are defined by the rules of the Texas Industrial Commission as (I'm quoting from the rules) 'Those areas immediately adjacent thereto within a City which by reason of the presence of a substantial number of sub-standard slum deteriorated or deteriorating structures, or which suffer from a high relative rate of unemployment which the City finds and determines after its hearing substantially impaired or avert the sound growth of the City or constitute an economic or social liability and/or a menace to the public health, safety or welfare in the present condition in use.' On December 16, 1981 the City Council authorized that notice of this public hearing be published in the newspaper and that notice of this hearing be sent to the Texas Industrial Commission for their comment and review. At the time the hearing was set the staff recommended that the Council consider designating a particular area of the City which are low and moderate income areas. This area was based on the census tracts of the City which meant Federal guidelines, specifically those for UDAG assistance and CDBG assistance. The staff of the Human Services Department, Buck Apelt, Monty Goff and Clotille Davis Hanes have examined the area which the City Council initially proposed to examine for consideration as an eligible blighted area. They have taken the census tracts for these areas and come up with criteria for the Council to consider in the desgination of the blighted area. A distressed index rating was developed for each census tract and staff looked at three components: the percentage of residents unemployed in the area, the percentage with family incomes below 80% of median and the percentage of residents residing in sub-standard housing. Then all the tracts were assigned a rating of a low of 1 to a high of 3 on each of the variables. A distressed index rating was computed for each of the tracts by aggregating the rating from the three variables and dividing by 3. They then chose various cut-offs and looked at various ratings and ranked them on a scale and from the rankings we are presenting three options for Council to consider as an eligible blighted area." He then showed slides. (Maps and descriptions of the areas shown are on record in City Clerk's Office. Palmer Wright appeared before Council and urged them to consider carefully when choosing. Ernest Peralez said further study should be done. Celeste Cromack thinks neighborhoods and individuals should be given a chance for their input. ) Council Memo AREA - (Continued) 8 Karen McGraw said this is a question of public process. January 21, 1982 Lewis Bunch, First Southwest Company, said the rules have been pretty well hammered out by the State. David Elrod said the planning process should be done carefully. Ari Wright agreed as well as Phil Conard. David Henderson, Bradford-Austin Hotel, asked Council to vote tonight as they thought they were in the blighted area and they would have bonds. They have a committment for someone to buy the bonds from Republic Bank of Dallas. agenda. Council then discussed the number of times this item has been on the Tom Mullens, representing himself, said industrial development bonds are an indirect subsidy by the public sector of the private sector. He said the bonds are a tax exemption for rich companies but is a public subsidy. Councilmember Duncan said he realizes no legal committments have been made to the Bradford or the Driskill but has always felt if the funds were ever available, renovation of the existing structures in the downtown area are an appropriate use of the funds. "I would like to go ahead and proceed with the process a step further since we do have to designate an area and have a specific hearing on that area. So I would like to make the following motion that has four parts to it: Motion : Councilmember Duncan made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Deuser to 1) Staff prepare an eligible blighted area that includes only the Bradford-Austin and the Driskill Hotels and specifically state in that eligible blighted area, specifically limit the adjacent area to one foot outside the boundaries of those structures, so we don't have any discussion about a whole block being included as adjacent area; 2) Secondly, that no other area be designated as a blighted area at this time and that the Downtown Revitalization Task Force make recommendations on the downtown area, as to which area, if any, should be so designated and the amenities that the City should request from prospective projects; 3) That a specific recovery plan be included for the eligible blighted area and that every eligible blighted area that this Council considers have a specific recovery plan and that a public hearing be held on each eligible blighted area and related recovery plan; 4) And, consequently, part of the motion is to leave this public hearing open and reconvene this hearing on the specific EBA as requested, that being the BradfordAustin and the Driskill as soon as possible, preferably next week. : Council Memo 9. Friendly Amedment - Accepted January 21, 1982 Mayor McClellan offered a friendly amendment to continue the public hearing on February 4 at 6:00 p.m. because she will be at the Conference of Mayors next week. Her friendly amendment was accepted. Jim Farber appeared before Council. He and his partner are developing an airport hotel at the corner of Manor bounded by Pershing and Greenwood. He said the downtown area is the only one spoken of as an area where there is a pending project and he pointed out the area of East Austin is a blighted area where they will create 200 to 250 jobs and will interject some 7-9 million dollars of investment. He said the EBA designation is very important to them. They have not filed an application with the development corporation but have tried to follow through without asking Council to issue letters of inducement subject to EBA. He said they also have a bank which is interested in purchasing their bonds and asked Councilmember Duncan to amend his motion to include their area. Councilmember Duncan said he has not yet seen the first project that has been attracted to the area because of the bonds. He has seen several existing projects that would like to use the bond money. Discussion followed. Motion Amended Councilmember Duncan amended his motion to include the hotel site at the corner of Manor bounded by Pershing and Greenwood..

Richard Grauvois, Zilker Neighborhood Association, said only two acres of the area are buildable. He said this is the area where geology students are shown an example of bad soil. He said it would be better to have 40 units rather than 66 because of the soil and there would be less impact on the neighborhood. Don Dodson told Council the applicant did not bring out the problems of soil in their proposal. He said the density should be reduced because of the topographical problems. He showed slides. Henry W.
