Thanks to all who came out to the North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Plan meeting on December 3rd! At the meeting we discussed your vision for the future of each corridor area in the neighborhood. As a follow-up, we have revised the visual preference survey from the meeting based on your concerns. The revised survey should be quicker and easier to take, and will help us determine what kind of development regulations are appropriate for different areas of North Shoal Creek.
You can take the revised survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/northshoalcreekVPS. Feel free to retake the survey, even if you participated at the meeting on December 3rd. Also, please forward this survey link to all of your neighbors in North Shoal Creek. The survey should take roughly 15 minutes to complete, and is essential to establishing character districts for your neighborhood. The survey will be open until January 8th, 2017.
To see more about the North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Plan, please visit www.austintexas.gov/northshoalcreek. Here you can find background on the neighborhood, presentations from previous meetings, and input we have collected from our first three meetings. If you have any questions about the process, or would like to provide input for a meeting you missed, please contact Jeff Engstrom. Stay tuned for information about the next neighborhood meeting on January 21st, 2017!
Have a warm December and a Happy New Year!Jeff Engstrom, AICP

The following is copied from an email from Michael Gaudini of Council Member Leslie Pool’s office:
Just sending around a reminder that Public Works will be holding meetings on the $19 million in mobility improvements for Burnet Road and North Lamar that they are planning on implementing. Please remind your communities and any other interested folks as you see fit.
(This should put the cap on the 2012 bond funds for these corridors; the corridors will continue to see major investments in the coming years through the recently passed 2016 bond.)

We apologize for the late notice, but those of us interested in CodeNEXT and density bonuses have two opportunities to learn more via two Density Bonus Stakeholder Meetings. The same information will be presented at both meetings:
Tues., Dec. 6th, 6-7:30 pm
Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Office, Room 400A
1000 E. 11th St., Austin TX 78702Wed., Dec. 7th, 8-9:15am
City Hall Executive Session Room, Room 1027
301 W. 2nd St. Austin, TX 78701CodeNext staff will present their findings from their analysis of the potential for density bonus programs in Austin. Since density is especially prescribed for corridors and Burnet Road is a corridor, these finding may affect North Shoal Creek (and all the other neighborhoods along Burnet Road).
This link provides additional information: http://www.austintexas.gov/news/second-m…

The following is copied from a recent email:
The City of Austin invites you to attend one of two stakeholder meetings to learn about the CodeNEXT process for analyzing the City’s potential density bonuses aimed at producing affordable housing. Consultants will provide preliminary insights about density bonuses in different areas of the city.
As part of their work, the consultants have compiled preliminary development assumptions for areas around the City using CoStar and inputs from local Austin real estate professionals. We invite you to provide input on key assumptions and to review preliminary findings of the density bonus analysis.
