NATIONAL NIGHT OUT is our nation’s premiere crime prevention event. This year, it’s Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2017, from 7:00-9:00 pm. North Shoal Creek needs neighbors to step forward and host a block party or other related event for your street. The deadline to register your event is 5:00 pm, Friday, Sept. 15th
For info on registering your block party or other type of event online, go to http://www.austintexas.gov/page/national-night-out-registration#overlay-context=user
Registering early increases your chances of having police officers, firefighters, EMS paramedics or Code Compliance staff visit your event.
After you register, please email your name (optional), address (required) and time (if other than 7-9 pm) to media@nscna.org. We want to publicize all the block parties in the neighborhood and encourage neighbors to get out of the house, meet and greet each other, and show your commitment to crime prevention.
If you host an event (and we hope you will) be sure to attend this year’s National Night Out Kick-Off Event at Reagan High School on Sat. Sept. 30, 10:00am-1:00pm, to pick up free giveaways and safety information for your block party

The City Planning and Zoning Department (PAZ) released the Draft Quality of Life Element (QLE) on June 16, with a deadline of 10 days for comments. Due to the insufficient time for review of the element, plus numerous incorrect and/or objectionable items contained in the draft it was decided that NSCNA should request additional time and submit a revised QLE.
Representatives of NSCNA met with officials from PAZ, other City staff and Council Member Leslie Pool’s staff on July 12 to discuss concerns with the QLE and Neighborhood Planning process, and sent them preliminary draft working documents.
On July18 the NSCNA Development Committee finalized the revised QLE, which will be considered by the NSCNA Board of Directors on July 27. Upon approval by the board, the revised QLE will be submitted to PAZ, other City staff and Council Member Pool’s staff.
The draft QLE was announced in a June 24 posting to this website. A copy of that draft QLE can be viewed at this link:

Updated:The revised QLE, approved by the NSCNA Board of Directors July 27, can be viewed at this link:
https://www.nscna.org/committees/development/neighborhoodplan/quality_of_life_element_revised.pdf
NSCNA members and all residents of NSC are invited to review these documents and submit any comments or recommendations by email to development@nscna.org . Comments received by July 27 will be considered by the board that evening. Comments received after July 27 will be considered later.
PAZ has released other draft elements. For a complete list of draft elements, please visit the North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Plan web page: http://austintexas.gov/northshoalcreek.
Current PAZ plans are to complete the plan elements and hold an open house in August, 2017.
