Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 000309-114, amending City Code Title 25 (Land Development), and amending Ordinance No. 20221115-048 to modify development review processes, methods to demonstrate water quality compliance, street design, and utility infrastructure design for the design and construction of certain transit system projects and related transit system infrastructure and which may include exemption from or waiver of fees or alternative funding methods. Funding: This item has no fiscal impact.

This item asks Council to overhaul the rulebook for how Austin's transit projects get built — repealing an old ordinance and amending the Land Development Code to change development review, water quality compliance, street design, and utility infrastructure standards for transit projects. It also opens the door to waiving or exempting certain fees, or using alternative funding methods, for that transit work. A public hearing is part of the process, so the public gets a chance to weigh in. The item is listed as having no fiscal impact.
