Dear District 9 Residents,

I want to take this opportunity to remind you of the upcoming deadlines for submitting public comments on CodeNEXT’s maps and affordability plan.

Friday, July 7th is the deadline for submitting your comments on CodeNEXT’s draft map. As you may be aware, the draft maps propose significant changes to neighborhoods throughout District 9. If you have not already, please take the opportunity to view the proposed map of your neighborhood and provide feedback to the CodeNEXT consultants.

The CodeNEXT consultants recently released their affordability plan. This part of the Code is critical to the City of Austin and requires comprehensive review and public feedback. Public comments on the affordability plan are due by Friday, July 14th.

If you would like to schedule an appointment with CodeNEXT staff, please visit tiny.cc/codenextofficehours or call (512) 974-3583 to make an appointment to speak to a CodeNEXT planner about the draft zoning map and affordability plan.

If you would like to view the questions that the Council has submitted, please visit: http://www.austintexas.gov/budget/codeNext/index.cfm.

Your public input is paramount during this process. Please feel free to copy me at kathie.tovo@austintexas.gov in your correspondence with the CodeNEXT consultants so I can be aware of your feedback and questions.

Sincerely,

Mayor Pro Tem Kathie Tovo
Council Member District 9

Dear District 9 Neighbors,

Please mark your calendars for June 3 for an important meeting about CodeNEXT and District 9.

As many of you know, City staff and consultants released the CodeNEXT draft Code and maps in recent weeks; both the proposed Code and the proposed maps could prompt significant land use changes in most District 9 neighborhoods.

On June 3, 2017, City staff will host a CodeNEXT Open House at City Hall from 10:00 AM - 12:00 p.m., and I hope you will attend.

As we approach June 3rd, please visit http://austintexas.gov/codenext to learn more about CodeNEXT, to read the proposed land use code, and to view the proposed maps. You can also find links on that page for online commenting and to schedule office hours to ask city staff questions about the proposals. City staff has asked for draft comments on the CodeNext text to be submitted by June 7, 2017, and draft map comments the following month.

If you have specific feedback for City staff and the consultants about the proposed Code or the mapping, please also feel free to copy my office (kathie.tovo@austintexas.gov) so that I am also aware of your feedback.

This new Code has the potential to impact every Austinite for years to come. Please come prepared with feedback, ideas, and questions for the CodeNEXT City staff.

Now is the time for community involvement and engagement. Thank you in advance for your important participation.

Sincerely,

Mayor Pro Tem Kathie Tovo
