Hot off the press is the August-September Bouldin Bulletin.
The same good stuff you might have read while drinking a cup of coffee —but in digital form. HERE

Here is some current information on the Land Development Code Revision:
City Council held a special-called meeting with an update on the Land Development Code Revision on Wednesday, August 28th at 3 p.m. at City Hall.
The release of the proposal is scheduled for 10/4 and the vote in early December.

From an engaged neighbor “I came for a viewing of Zoned Out, The Legacy of Code Next and earlier this week I watched the 2 hours of the Special City Council Meeting on the LDC Rewrite.
There is no question, Bouldin Creek as well as other central city neighborhoods will be severely impacted by the rewrite and now it comes down to how and how much.”
“What does it mean and what are my options”.

Our next GA meeting is Oct. 8th and the Land Development Code Revision will be the top issue of discussion.

Last notes-there have been almost no conversations (except by neighborhood groups) of impact of up-zoning to MF (Multi-Family)-increased value, increased taxes!
Also from CM Jimmy Flannigan as he hastened to confirm, for the benefit of his own constituents, that “to be clear: For better or for worse, none of this changes a community’s deed restrictions.” Flannigan has noted more than once that much of his own district won’t be affected by whatever changes are made in the new code because the properties have deed restrictions, which often mandate single-family homes on large lots, and prohibit any types of ADUs, duplexes, or multifamily or mixed use. (Ironically, he’s been one of the most aggressive voices advocating across-the-board up-zoning for center-city neighborhoods that don’t have such deed restrictions.) Noted from Austin Chronicle.
