Joint meeting to consider more development code changes Thursday

This Thursday at 9 a.m., City Council and the Planning Commission will hold a joint meeting to consider changes to the Land Development Code. The changes, which are detailed here, are part of an update aimed at creating more housing by revising compatibility standards and reducing minimum lot size for single-unit developments, among other things. Thursday’s meeting will feature an overview of the changes as well as a public hearing, with additional public hearings at the April 23 Planning Commission meeting and the May 16 meeting of City Council. In addition, the city will hold two open houses. The first will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. on April 17 at Austin Central Library. The second meeting will be virtual, from 10 a.m. until noon.
