Climate Adaption and Mitigation - Planning or Assessment

Selected Strategy(ies)Explanatory Text
Adoption of building codes that consider impacts from extreme weather events and natural disastersBuilding codes can encourage implementation of mitigation and adaptation techniques for extreme weather events and natural disasters. Codes may require that infrastructure be planned and built to avoid or minimize future damage or costly repairs from increased frequency and intensity of flooding, drought, wildfires, and other projected extreme weather/disaster events. Codes may also lead to energy savings for commercial and residential buildings by specifying minimum requirements for building components such as insulation, water use, heating and cooling systems, lighting, windows, and ventilation systems. Effective building code requirements may vary regionally due to differences in natural hazards.

Climate Adaption and Mitigation - Redevelopment

Selected Strategy(ies)Explanatory Text
Incorporate green building techniquesGreen building is the practice of creating healthier, more resource-efficient models of construction, renovation, operation, maintenance, and demolition. Green building techniques can be instrumental in addressing increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events and natural disasters by more effectively controlling stormwater, reducing waste and energy use, and designing smarter infrastructure that allows for adaptation and mitigation. Techniques may include green roofs; energy, lighting, and water efficiencies; use of sustainable building materials; and incorporation of passive survivability features. Passive survivability is a building's ability to maintain habitability without relying on external utility systems for power, fuel, water, or sewer services, as well as being better able to withstand floods, severe weather, and temperature extremes.
Install green infrastructureGreen infrastructure includes practices and features to reduce the burden of storm events on local water infrastructure. Examples include green roofs, downspout disconnection, urban tree canopies, rainwater harvesting, rain gardens, planter boxes, green parking (permeable pavement), urban agriculture, and community open space.
Incorporate and encourage multi-modal transit opportunities in redevelopment activitiesPlanning, designing and building streets that enable access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders. Brownfield redevelopment projects can incorporate sidewalks in their plans to allow for pedestrian traffic, outdoor public spaces to encourage community gatherings, and bicycle parking, bike share rentals, and bike trails to encourage biking throughout the community.

Additional Property Attributes

Austin Habitat for Humanity is planning to develop 11 single family row houses in the Mueller subdivision. The houses will be sold to households at or below 80% median family income. To complete construction on this project, Austin Habitat for Humanity has applied for HUD funding through the City of Austin NHCD, which requires a Phase I ESA as part of the due diligence in the application process. The Phase I ESA was completed, no recognized environmental concerns were identified. No further action is anticipated at this time. Former Use: Habitat for Humanity is purchasing this property to build 11 affordable homes for purchase in the City of Austin's Master Planned Mueller development. The property was part of the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport that the city purchased in the 1990s. This portion of the property is first being developed as affordable housing.

The Philomena Row Houses were designed by award-winning Austin architect Michael Hsu. Each of the units is space efficient with 10-foot-high ceilings and ample daylight entering through the front and rear of the building. The townhouses achieved a five-star rating from Austin Energy's Green Building program, which is designed to encourage sustainability and energy efficient practices. The townhouses were sold to families making 80% of the median family income for the Austin-Round Rock MSA, and the units have sold out.
