Can’t make the meetings? City to hold open house on changes to the development code.

In addition to the upcoming public meetings that will focus on changes to the Land Development Code, the city will also be holding an open house to inform residents about proposed changes to building and occupancy regulations. The open house, which will be held at the Austin Central Library on Monday, Nov. 6, will be a chance for the public to talk with city staff after this Thursday’s meeting, but before the changes go back to Council for a final vote. (Currently, that vote is scheduled for Dec. 7.) Unlike the other meetings, attendees can visit for as long (or short) as they want between the hours of 6 and 8 p.m. Spanish interpretation will be available on-site, and other translation services are available on-demand by calling 311 at least five days prior to the open house. More information about the amendments, meetings and open house can be found here.
