Perry Estate Neighborhood Plan Amendment Meeting, Wednesday, March 27 at 6:30 p.m.

CANPAC PCT and HNA will hold a meeting to discuss the Perry Estate Neighborhood Plan Amendment. The meeting will be held at the Hancock Recreation Center from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27th in the downstairs room. The meeting agenda will follow in a subsequent post.

Neighborhood Plan Amendment Definition: A neighborhood plan amendment (NPA) allows for changes to be made to an adopted neighborhood plan and/or Future Land Use Map (FLUM). A plan amendment is required if a proposed zoning change is inconsistent with the plan’s FLUM. The plan amendment process ensures that stakeholders in the neighborhood, and the neighborhood planning contact team will be notified of proposed amendments.

For more NPA information, please read "Neighborhood Plan Contact Team Training Sheet: Your Role In Plan Amendments", City of Austin, Planning & Development Review Department: http://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Planning/ct_role_in....
