    Here’s a list of CodeNext related events and resources sent to us by Michael Gaudini of Leslie Pool’s District 7 office. Please note that the Tuesday, May 16th Code Next Conversation is the one that applies to North Shoal Creek:

    “Our office has created a webpage with links to different CodeNEXT-related resources and event information. You can find it here: www.d7atx.com/codenext. Please spread this information to your neighbors so we can increase engagement on CodeNEXT.

    CodeNEXT Community Conversation
    Tuesday, May 16 from 6:30pm to 8pm
    Journey IFC (7500 Woodrow Ave)
    (This is the third CodeNEXT Community Conversation that the District 7 office will be holding. It will focus on the areas of D7 that are largely non-transect and have neighborhood or small-area plans, such as Wooten, North Shoal Creek, and North Burnet/Gateway.

    Permitting & Process Meeting
    Wednesday, June 7 from 6pm to 8pm

    In addition, city planning staff and the CodeNEXT consultants will be producing another draft of the proposed Land Development Code and zoning map in the late summer based on the feedback they receive at public meetings and through the online feedback tools. They will take this revised draft to the Planning Commission (PC) and Zoning and Platting Commission (ZAP) for discussion.

    The deadline dates for submitting comments to be considered in this initial revision are June 7 for the Land Development Code text and July 7 for the zoning map. Residents can still submit comments after those dates — those are only the deadlines for consideration for the revision that will be presented to PC and ZAP.

    Our office encourages residents to engage early and extensively, both with our office and using the online tools:

    Land Development Code Feedback Tool: www.tinyurl.com/CodeNEXTLDC
    Zoning Map Feedback: Tool: www.tinyurl.com/CodeNEXTMap

    We also encourage our residents to attend the ZAP and PC meetings on CodeNEXT, as well. The rough timeline for the CodeNEXT process is available at http://austintexas.gov/…/C…/2017-1-27_CodeNEXT_Schedule_.pdf”

  • SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION SET TO BEGIN MAY 8TH

    Administrator

    Construction of the sidewalks selected as highest priority in our North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Partnering Project is scheduled to begin on May 8th and is expected to take about 3 weeks to complete.

    The construction is one phase of a larger Neighborhood Partnering Program project to address sidewalk gaps

    • on the south side of Penny Lane from Rockwood to Briarwood;
    • on the south side of Crosscreek from Shoal Creek to Millway;
    • on the north side of Rockwood from Primrose to Burnet; and
    • at the intersection of Thrushwood and McCann.

    The City’s Public Works Department will try to contact residents living near the new sidewalk locations shortly before construction begins to discuss sidewalk location or property issues.

    For more information, please contact Project Manager John Eastman, City of Austin Public Works Department at 512-974-7025 or John.Eastman@austintexas.gov.
