  • New Housing Plan On Road To Approval; Calls For Increased Density along Corridors

    Administrator

    The Austin Strategic Housing Plan is scheduled to go to the Planning Committee for a public hearing and vote on Tuesday, March 28 at 6:00 PM at City Hall. It’s scheduled to go to the Austin City Council for a public hearing and vote on Thursday, April 6.

    If approved, the plan will be considered an amendment to the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan. It will become a standard against which City staff, commissions, and the City Council will measure the suitability of new developments.

    Why should you care? Primarily because one of the plan’s goals is to have at least 75% of new housing constructed within 1/2 mile of Imagine Austin Centers and Corridors. Burnet Road is one of those corridors. So, residents up and down Burnet who live within 1/2 mile of Burnet Road can expect to see their neighborhoods targeted for greater density.

    You can view the plan at http://www.austintexas.gov/housingplan

    Join us this Saturday to review elements of the North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Plan!

    Please join us on this Saturday, February 25th, for our fifth and final neighborhood workshop for the North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Plan. At the workshop, we’ll be discussing the latest draft Future Land Use Map as well as the overall Goals and Priorities for the plan. We’ll also collect input on sidewalk priorities, transit stop areas, and refined corridor visions. If you want to get an early start, take a look at the Draft FLUM on this page.

    We also want to let you know there will be a separate open house on this date to explain CodeNEXT. The CodeTEXT open house will be from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at Lanier High School. Click here for more information.
    Don’t worry, there will be more opportunities to review and give input on the North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Plan. Over the next several weeks, we will send out updates as each plan element is released in draft form on the plan web site. When the entire draft plan is released there will be a final survey and an open house.

    We hope to see you Saturday at 9:00 AM at Pillow Elementary School!
