Near approval, officials halt Downtown Austin Plan vote
City Council clashes over density bonus program

CENTRAL AUSTIN — After years of community development and review, City of Austin planning staff came before City Council in August to brief officials on the Downtown Austin Plan, a long-awaited culmination of guidelines, recommendations and ordinances that will guide the city’s downtown district through its expected upcoming growth.
Although the plan was expected to be adopted Aug. 25, the issue of density management has divided City Council, causing the group to delay its adopting vote until November.
The DAP calls for several changes to the downtown district, which encompasses 1,000 acres of land between Lady Bird Lake, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, I-35 and Lamar Boulevard. Amid its recommendations for improved historic preservation, transportation, utilities and parking, it also includes recommendations for density management, the topic causing the most contention for council members as they inch closer to the plan’s approval.
