Transit & EV Supportive Code Amendments In-Person Open House

The City of Austin’s Planning Department, at City Council’s direction, is proposing several changes to the land development code.

They include:

EQUITABLE TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (ETOD) OVERLAY  

• Create regulations that would apply to properties that are located within a half mile of the planned Project Connect Phase 1 Light Rail and Priority Extensions

CITYWIDE COMPATIBILITY 

• Revise height, building placement, and other related regulations known as Compatibility Standards that apply to a property based on its proximity to a single-family home

HOME PHASE 2 

• Reduce the lot size needed to build one home, and revise related regulations that apply to properties with one home

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING 

• Create regulations that allow properties to be used exclusively for charging electric vehicles

Want to learn more about these proposed changes? The City of Austin is hosting two open house events:

• In-Person – April 17th from 6pm to 8pm at the Austin Central Library
