Thursday, September 1, 1983 regular
  • Energy Future Debated:

A bond election was also called for October to fund major energy projects, including renewables.
  • New City Hall Vision:

    Plans moved forward for a new municipal complex downtown, with approval to hire a project manager and launch a design competition, emphasizing a public/private funding model without relying on general obligation bonds.
  • Hyde Park Protection & Major Growth:

    A demolition moratorium in Hyde Park was extended as discussions continued on alternatives for neighborhood protection. Separately, the creation of the Maple Run Municipal Utility District (MUD) was approved, setting extensive conditions for a large new development's utilities and future annexation.
  • Contentious East Austin Hotel Zoning:

    A highly debated zoning change to allow a hotel on East 11th Street passed despite strong community opposition concerned about neighborhood impact and potential displacement.

GRANTED AS RECOMMENDED Council Memo 31 September 1, 1983 ZONING HEARINGS (Continued) Mr. Lillier reviewed the application by use of slides. John Henneberger said it would not be appropriate to have a high-rise hotel next to a residential neighborhood. He felt it would not attract good businesses surrounding it. He said if the zoning is approved, Council should make affirmative action committments. Councilmember Spaeth disagreed with Mr. Henneberger by saying he thinks the hotel will be first class buffer to protect the neighborhood against low type businesses. A man who did not identify himself spoke against the zoning change. Ray Galloway spoke against the zoning because he is concerned about the people who live in the community. He said he is a barber on East 12th Street and if people move away because of this zoning it will hurt his business. Sister Amalia works with the neighborhood association and she feels a project like a Holiday Inn will move the people out of the neighborhood. Obie Connelly said the years of wrong cannot be accounted for with a hotel. Jane Haney, EAECDC, spoke against the zoning change, as did Kevin Bach. Councilmember Spaeth pointed out that Hancock Center is a good comparison to what this area will become. There are houses right next to Hancock Center and it is all compatible. Susanah Hernandez, representing ACORN, said she would like to see commercial but not a Holiday Inn. Nelda Green said Roadway Inn is two blocks away and it is run down. Mr. Martinez spoke against any change at all. Ronald Means said he thinks the Holiday Inn would enhance the neighborhood and help the people. Marvin Griffin, Pastor, Ebenezer Baptist Church, told Council the congregation favors the zoning change. He feels the hotel would revitalize the neighborhood. Debbie Nelson said the land should be developed as it is too beautiful to be so run down. Narcisso Gil, presidnet. of Guadalupe Neighborhood Association, spoke against. Paul Hernandez said the Holiday Inn is not the answer to problems. Frances Martinez asked for a moratorium on the project. Oliver Street said this will be an improvement. ! Council Memo HEARINGS (Continued) 32 September 1, 1983 Marcos DeLeon said a comprehensive barrio plan is needed. Arereo Martinez is against the zoning change. Larry Jackson spoke in favor. Michael Kendred spoke against the change as did Cyndy Shaefer a social worker at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. Anthony Spear said this is a new industry and David Hill who has a business on 11th Street spoke in favor of the Holiday Inn. Linda Lewis also favors the plan. E.C. Craig, member and officer of Ebenezer Church, favors the plan. John Joseph, who represents the landowner and applicant, said they will comply 100% with all ordinances and will provide all parking that is needed. Motion The Mayor, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, closed the public hearing. (7-0 Vote) Councilmember Urdy stated that East Austin is dying and has been for a long time. He said nothing is suggested that people agree to and no one proposes anything except what not to do. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino feels tha attitude and involvement of the people has changed. He said a few years ago he voted against a hotel on IH 35.and will not vote for this one either. Councilmember Shipman feels that a Holiday Inn will not directly affect people who live in the area, Mr. Lillie told Council that everything along IH 35 will soon be commercial and the decision of what is put on the edge of the highway is very important. Councilmember Spaeth said he is moved by the neighborhood and their concerns but does not think the west side of IH 35 should get all the money. Money begets money, he said, and he wants East Austin to have some of it. Mayor Mullen pointed out that MoPac and Koenig Lane are all commercial because they are major and minor arterials. IK 35 is a major arterial and should be developed. (On Councilmember Spaeth's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, 5-2 Vote, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino and Councilmember Shipman voted No. RECESS Council recessed at 6:40 P.M. and resumed its recessed meeting at 7:20 p.m. Council Memo 33 ITEMS PULLED September 1, 1983 Mayor Mullen announced that the Energy Advisory Commission Report on Discussion of Community Access, would not be heard.
