Dear Neighbors,
We strongly encourage all neighbors to attend the West Austin Neighborhood Group meeting next Tuesday, Sept. 3rd at 6:30 PM, Lions Municipal Golf Course Clubhouse (2901 Enfield Rd.)
Our guest from the City of Austin will be Annick Beaudet, who is leading the Land Development Code Revision Team. This is a rare opportunity for neighbors to give input directly to City Staff before they release a draft and map of the new code on Oct. 4th. For more information about how this new code will affect your property and neighborhood please visit https://communitynotcommodity.com/do-you-live-in-a-transition-zone/
"Transition zones" are areas of existing neighborhoods where city officials plan to do away with single-family zoning and allow the construction of multi-story buildings up to 65 feet high, condominium four-plexes, and mixed-use commercial developments.
The transition zones proposed by the City Council in our area include W 35th St., Exposition Blvd., Enfield Road and Lake Austin Blvd. They may extend up to five (or more) residential lots into adjacent neighborhoods. The size and number of transition zones may grow in the future. When the city rezones land underneath existing homes to increase density, the taxation on those properties will rise sharply. Families who can’t afford the higher taxes will be forced to sell, creating a strong incentive for speculators to buy, demolish, and redevelop the lots into more profitable residences.” On-site Parking will be eliminated causing neighborhood streets, many of which have no sidewalks, to become parking lots. It is vital that the City hear from the residents of our neighborhoods. Please join us at this very important meeting, to voice your neighborhood concerns!
Thank you,
Holly
