A resolution headed to Austin City Council next week could update the North Burnet / Gateway Regulating Plan to bring more dense and transit-oriented growth to the area around the Domain and Q2 Stadium in North Austin. Set for discussion at Council’s upcoming meeting on June 16, the draft resolution seeks to expand the boundaries of the plan and potentially increase the density of buildings constructed inside it using its development bonus program to incentivize affordable housing and other community benefits.
Since its adoption in 2009, the NBG plan has allowed projects in the region to build much higher than usually allowed under the area’s typical zoning, with several new towers in this district rising 20 floors or more — last month, Council already voted to allow buildings inside the plan’s Commercial Mixed-Use subdistrict around the intersection of Burnet Road and West Braker Lane to rise an additional 112 feet under the area’s development bonus program, increasing the maximum height possible around this part of the district from 308 to 420 feet.
