I have a general question for the group. Does anyone have insight into the
Austin City Council’s efforts to rezone all single family neighborhoods?
According to the below, it seems people need to file protests in order to
prevent this from happening to their homes by Oct 31st.
We have such a unique and special community here in COVNA. I love this
neighborhood because of the large yards and wide streets, plenty of outdoor
space for my kids. I really dislike the thought of our neighborhood turning
into what’s currently being built over on the Davis roundabout.

*File a Neighborhood Conservation Protest to Protect Your Home from City
Hall's Latest Rezoning Plan*
Dear Edwin,
The City of Austin plans to end single-family zoning and allow many more
units on existing residential lots.
*Concerned residents should protect their homes by filing neighborhood
conservation protests

council cannot rezone his or her property without supermajority support

Under the city's new plan, a 5,000-square-foot lot could be subdivided
into two lots to hold a total of six units, and a 7,500-square-foot lot
could be turned into three lots, with a total of nine units. Bigger lots
could be subdivided even further, potentially holding dozens of units. Enter

To accommodate the new units, the council plans on allowing more
impervious cover, taller neighborhood buildings, and decreasing the
setbacks around structures.
*The first hearing on the plan is set for October 26—but residents should
file protests
