FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Release Date: Sep. 12, 2024
Contact: Housing Department        Email

This is to give notice that the City of Austin Housing Department under CFR Part 58 has determined that the following proposed action under Title V of the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998 is located in the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS) floodplain and the Housing Department will be identifying and evaluating practicable alternatives to locating the action in the floodplain and the potential impacts on the floodplain from the proposed action, as required by Executive Order 11988, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands.

Bailey at Stassney, will include new construction of a 104-unit supportive multifamily development to be located on approximately 2.38 acres of urban land addressed as 400 West Stassney Lane, Austin, Travis County, Texas 78745. As proposed, the project will consist of one (1) five-story building and associated parking lot. The residential units will be restricted to households earning 30, 50, and 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or less. In addition, 26 units will operate as permanent supportive housing (PSH) for households at risk of homelessness.

Approximately 1.2 acres of the property is within the 100 and 500-year floodplain of an unnamed tributary of Williamson Creek. Impacts from the new development will include approximately 0.04 acres of the 500- year floodplain. No development will occur within the 100-year floodplain and no wetland areas will be impacted. Natural and beneficial functions of the floodplain include floodplain storage and attenuation. There is minimal potential for historic or cultural resources due to a lack of known historic sites in the vicinity. No suitable habitat for federal or state-listed species is present on the property.

There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.

Written comments must be received by the Housing Department on or before Sept 27, 2024. Please submit your request by U.S. mail to:

City of Austin Housing Department
Dawn Perkins
The Streets-Jones Building
1000 East 11th Street, Ste. 200
Austin, Tx  78702

Or you can submit your request by email to: Dawn.Perkins@austintexas.gov. 

A full description of the project may also be reviewed from 8am to 5pm at the same address as above.
