LDC rewrite continued, continued
Thursday, May 2, 2019 by Elizabeth Pagano
Today, Austin City Council will reconvene at a special called meeting to continue (and hopefully, finish) the discussion on the Land Development Code rewrite. The discussion is a continuation of the one that began last Thursday – Council members are now deciding on the direction the new code rewrite will take in terms of scope, housing capacity, housing types, compatibility standards, and parking requirements. Council will meet at 1 p.m. today at City Hall. According to a post by Mayor Steve Adler on the City Council Message Board, “As we’re picking up where we left off last week, and may only have three or four hours to complete our work, I would not anticipate taking any public testimony on Thursday, unless it is the will of the Council otherwise.” New amendments proposed can also be found on the message board, and items flagged for discussion, maps and more can be found here.
