  • According to information received from the City of Austin Planning & Zoning Department, the planning process for the long awaited North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Plan will begin soon.

    The process will begin with a Kickoff public meeting and workshop organized by the City on Saturday, October 1, from 9 AM to Noon at Pillow Elementary school cafeteria. Breakfast will be served.

    About three weeks prior to the meeting, the City will mail postcards to all neighborhood residents and property owners with information about the first couple of meetings, the Neighborhood Plan web site, and an online survey. The online survey will be open to everyone.

    At the Kickoff meeting City officials will present some background information and trends for the neighborhood, talk about the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan and what it means to be a Complete Community, and then run through a couple of exercises. The exercises will collect map data from residents on amenities and where things need improvement. There will be breakfast served at the meeting.

    Additional meetings will be held at Pillow School on:

    •  Saturday, November 12.
    •  Saturday, December 3.

    All residents are encouraged to attend these meetings and participate in the process of planning the North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Plan.

    Additional information will be posted as it becomes available.
