CodeUPDATE set for Sept. 29, 7 pm to 8 pm at the Dougherty Arts Center.
————————————————————From Nov. 16-21, the CodeNEXT workshop will kick the tires on possible alterations of the land development code.
Want a sneak peek? Plan to attend the Sept. 29 CodeUPDATE, taking place from 7 pm to 8 pm at the Dougherty Arts Center (http://www.austintexas.gov/dac) (1110 Barton Springs Rd. (https://goo.gl/Trm5qD) ). The CodeUPDATE will explore the workshop’s purpose and desired outcomes.
During the November workshop, members of the CodeNEXT team will test and refine draft development standards using focus areas that represent place types across Austin. Lunchtime presentations, daily open studio sessions and “pin-ups” are just some of the “Open to the public” activities planned.
The data gained will be used to complete the Administrative Draft Code (scheduled for Winter 2015) and the subsequent Public Draft Code (scheduled for Fall 2016).
————————————————————** October’s Coffee & CodeNEXT
————————————————————Each month, members of the CodeNEXT team will set up shop at locations across the city.
Why? We want to hear from you. Take this opportunity to share personal experiences with the current land development code as well as offer opinions about how the new code should be shaped.
October’s “Coffee & CodeNEXT,” taking place from 9 am to 10 am on Oct. 8, will be hosted by Stouthaus Coffee Pub (http://www.stouthauscoffee.com/) , located on 4715 S Lamar Blvd., #102.

THANK YOU TO OUR JULY 4th VOLUNTEERS AND SPONSORS
North Shoal Creek’s recent Independence Day celebration and parade wouldn’t have happened without a small group of hard-working and enthusiastic volunteers plus support from many of our neighborhood businesses. The North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Association wants to take this opportunity to thank all the businesses who donated refreshments, gifts, gift certificates and money, and to say thank you very much to the July 4th Committee led by Social Committee Chair Amelia Cobb. They did an outstanding job coordinating all the donations, getting permits, arranging entertainment, making sure refreshments arrived at the right time, decorating, hosting, judging, etc. And when the celebration ended, they cleaned up the school and pavilion so well it was hard to believe a party had just taken place there.
We also thank everyone who came. We hope you had a good time. And we hope to see you again next year.
