Item 51 Passedunofficial
Approve a resolution initiating amendments to Title 25 (Land Development Code) to modify zoning and transportation regulations, to create new zoning districts and establish regulations, and to enhance and streamline street design, building, and site development standards to enhance multimodal mobility throughout the City and report back to Council.
Council is kicking off a major rewrite of Title 25, the city's Land Development Code, to reshape zoning and transportation rules. The resolution would create new zoning districts, update regulations, and streamline street design, building, and site development standards — all aimed at making it easier to get around Austin by means other than a car. Because it touches everything from how land gets zoned to how streets are built, the changes could ripple across future development citywide. Staff would report back to Council with their progress.
