Austin City Council signs off on more ‘single stair’ buildings
Quote:
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Thursday, Austin City Council members approved a code amendment that allows more units to be built using only one central staircase. Advocates of “single stair” housing say it will create more flexibility in how smaller complexes are built, making them more affordable.
“In support of increased housing options, the Council adopted amendments allowing single-stairway designs in certain multi-family residential buildings up to six stories,” the city of Austin wrote in a news release.
