BCNA General Association meeting 08-13-2019

Hello neighbors–The next general membership meeting of the Bouldin Creek Neighborhood Association will be next Tuesday, August 13, beginning at 6:45 pm at the High Road on Dawson, 700 Dawson.
Hope to see you there.

Here is the current agenda:
6:45–Introductions;
6:55–Traffic Safety & Parking and Parks Committee updates;
7:00–Confirmation vote on BCNA support for crosswalk painting at South Congress & Gibson;
7:05–Discussion and vote on proposed resolution regarding CodeNext (aka land use code rewrite)
–proposed resolution below;
7:20–Statesman site redevelopment presentation by Endeavor Real Estate Group;
7:50–Adjourn

Proposed resolution: BCNA opposes unequal zoning changes targeted at only certain current residential areas
and instead supports equal treatment for all property currently zoned as “single family” throughout the City.

  1. Austin had a long history of discriminatory treatment of certain areas that needs to stop.
  2. Unequal policy will both exacerbate displacement of people in targeted areas and fail
    to maximize affordability and environment protection in the other areas of the City.
  3. Austin’s land use laws should promote affordability and walkability equally everywhere in all
  4. neighborhoods.

Thanks–Jesse, BCNA Prez.
