Demolition renovation

The city’s Development Services Department is looking to improve the current demolition permitting process. This upcoming Wednesday, March 7, staff will be seeking public input on the process at a public meeting, which will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Millennium Youth Entertainment Complex. For those unable to attend Wednesday’s meeting, a second meeting to view the draft proposal is scheduled for Wednesday, March 28, at the Waller Creek Center from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Alternatively, Austinites who are loath to leave the house or don’t wish to publicly discuss demolition safety, notification requirements and licensing requirements can do so on SpeakUpAustin.org until March 18.
