This week in CodeNEXT
Tuesday, February 21, 2017 by Elizabeth Pagano
Though there isn’t a City Council meeting this week, there is a City Council meeting. Council members will convene Wednesday morning to talk about CodeNEXT, and the “optional” meeting will feature a presentation on “the new zoning districts [transect and nontransect (use based) districts] and how they will work with the zoning map, the administration and procedures of the Conditional Use Permit process and the new Minor Use Permits, and zoning variances, and the expanded use Special Exceptions. The briefing will also overlay zones and regulations specific to specific land uses, connectivity, open space and parkland, parking and landscaping,” according to a very helpful post on the City Council Message Board from Mayor Steve Adler. Those who are unable to attend the meeting in person can, of course, watch the meeting on ATXN or stay tuned to the Austin Monitor for ongoing CodeNEXT coverage.
