This is a report received from CodeNEXT about the Sound Check held in November 2015:
The November 2015 CodeNEXT Sound Check gave code-writing pros the opportunity to test development concepts. Austinites converged on the Linc to participate in pin-up sessions and various workshops.
A recently released report (http://austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Planning_and_Zoning/CodeNEXT/SoundcheckReport_1.29.16_FINAL.pdf) details the results as well as offers insight on next steps. At the Sound Check, the CodeNEXT team evaluated draft code standards within specific focus areas, incorporating a series of “What if” or “How might we” exercises.
In the upcoming months, the CodeNEXT team will release Code Prescription papers. These papers will explain how the new code will address the following areas of concern: built and natural environment; mobility; household affordability; and fiscal health.
