City Council Rezoning Dec. 1

KEY POINTS
  • The Austin City Council is scheduled to vote on its latest rezoning plan on December 1, 2022. Here’s the proposed map.
  • Residents can help protect their property rights by filing new rezoning protests no later than November 30, 2022
  • If approved, the city’s proposal would authorize the construction of larger developments closer to existing homes


ACTION

  • Please consider signing this protest that will be submitted to City Council. With enough signatures, what is called a Super Majority of the council will need to vote in favor of the changes over our petition against them.
  • Sign up to speak at the Dec. 1 City Council meeting HERE. Items 55 or 56 AGAINST
  • Talk about this with your neighbors.
Here’s more detail from our co-chair Canid;
 

This coming Thursday, December 1st, City Council will be discussing and voting on a revision to the Land Development Code that will affect our neighborhood and many others across the city.  LDC amendments about residential development on commercial properties, reduced compatibility in corridors and parking requirements, and an Equity-Transit-Oriented-Development (ETOD) Policy Plan will eliminate the current notification process to neighboring property owners and affect their right to protest zoning changes for adjacent properties.  Council has twice been denied through lawsuits to move forward with similar plans to remove citizen voice from the land development process, yet here we are again. 

Those of you that have been around here for a while know that the negotiations between mega developers and neighbors have resulted in improvements to parks, bike trails, increased the number of affordable housing options for our community, and even resulted in tax relief for at risk families in our neighborhood.  The changes that are being discussed and voted on this Thursday will open opportunities for neighborhood incompatible development, while creating barriers for the type of inclusive improvements your neighbors have been working on for the past several years.

  

Thank you all for your time and concern!
