City Council will hold special called meetings to discuss CodeNEXT, Austin’s initiative to rewrite its Land Development Code, during May and June in Council Chambers at Austin City Hall, 301 W. Second St.
CodeNEXT is the City of Austin initative to modernize Austin’s outdated Land Development Code with a simpler, user-friendly code that creates and preserves people-friendly places.

About CodeNEXT
CodeNEXT is the city’s effort to rewrite its land development code, which is basically a rule book for the city, explaining what can be built where. CodeNEXT will determine how Austin looks 10, 15, and even 50 years from now. And it will affect everything from affordability, to transportation, to the environment. In other words, it’s a really big deal.
