The NSCNA Development Committee works with neighboring residential and business developments to find a balance between our neighborhood quality of life and the needs of the developer community and economy. We know we can’t control everything that happens around our neighborhood. However, by working together with the city and developers, we have a much better chance of finding common ground and creating a place where we all will be proud to live, work and play.
If you would like to be involved in what’s happening now with our neighborhood and what will be happening in our future, please join us. Please contact northshoalcreek@gmail.com with any questions, or if you are interested in joining this committee.
2018 North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Plan and Future Land Use Map (FLUM)
From 2016 to 2018, our neighborhood worked with the City of Austin to develop the North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Plan, adopted by City Council on August 23, 2018. The neighborhood plan is a working document designed to assist stakeholders in improving and maintaining the quality of life in the community. The plan outlines shared policies for spending, regulations, land use decisions and zoning changes in the North Shoal Creek neighborhood. At the core of the plan is the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), a parcel-level land map illustrating how the plan’s vision for each place in North Shoal Creek should evolve or be preserved. The FLUM is the plan’s primary land use decision-making tool and it balances the desires and rights of diverse stakeholders while implementing adopted City policies. Although it guides land use decisions, the FLUM is not a zoning map. When used for land use decisions, it should be used in conjunction with other plan elements to guide decisions on proposed zoning and development cases as well as the application of new development regulations.
The North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Plan Contact Team is the main group responsible for coordinating with applicable City of Austin departments, the North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Association, and other groups to prioritize and implement the plan’s recommendations. The NSC Contact Team is a separate organization from North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Association with its own by-laws and membership, but it maintains close correspondence with the NSCNA development committee.
