AUSTIN, Texas – Austinites who want to learn more about proposed changes to the City’s Land Development Code (LDC) will have a chance to meet with City staff before the two remaining public hearings.  

The City is hosting an educational open house on Monday, Nov. 6, at the Austin Central Library, 710 W. Cesar Chavez St., from 6 to 8 p.m. Staff will be available to discuss proposed code amendments that would:  

• Allow up to three housing units, including tiny homes on a single-family zoned property. (Please note, previous communications stated these changes would include regulations for recreational vehicles (RVs). Any changes for RVs will not be considered at this time.)
• Revise regulations that apply to a property with two housing units; and    
• Remove restrictions on the number of unrelated adults living in a housing unit.  

The open house will offer residents a chance to learn more about the proposed code amendments before the Planning Commission and City Council take action. Those interested in attending this open house do not need to be present for the entire meeting and can come -and- go during the event as their schedule allows.   

The City of Austin Planning Commission and City Council will host public hearings to take input from Austinites on the proposed changes at Austin City Hall, 301 W. 2nd St., on the following dates:    

• Thursday, October 26, at 2 p.m. - Joint Planning Commission and City Council Meeting   
  • Meeting agenda  
• Tuesday, November 14, at 6 p.m. - Planning Commission Meeting
