Is there some sort of map that shows height limits for East Austin? Similar to the one for West Campus in the sticky thread.

There isn't any overlay for East Austin a la West Campus. Heights there above, I believe, 60 or maybe 90 feet on the major corridors must be negotiated with council for a variance. And everything else is 2.5 floors.

Thanks I was thinking 90’ for some reason without needing height variance.

Wonder how much the developer talks to the city. Compatibility is going to be reduced this year after briefly "going back into place." Unless they need to get this project started before that happens, which is understandable.

Today's ETOD passage should actually cover this project and put VMU2 back into place, since it's within a half mile of transit.

Excited for this one to start.

Urban Renewal Board makes pick for Council from two redevelopment plans for Blocks 16 and 18

plan that looks to combine housing, retail, restaurants and assorted cultural facilities has received an important vote of support in the effort to redevelop two signature blocks of East Austin.

On Monday, the Urban Renewal Board voted 4-1 to recommend the Pleasant Hill Collaborative development plan to City Council as the preferred package for Blocks 16 and 18 on East 11th Street. That plan, which is composed of professionals from Servitas LLC and the Guadalupe Neighborhood Development Corporation, was one of two under consideration to remake the area that has been eyed for redevelopment for roughly three decades.

City Council is expected to consider the matter on July 18, which would lead to the start of entering into an exclusive negotiating agreement with PHC.

That plan would incorporate the Historic Victory Grill music venue as well as an unspecified African American cultural and heritage facility, multifamily housing, live/work townhomes, and assorted hospitality and cultural venues on the two blocks.

Is Austin trying to look like LA circa 1966 now?

[Echostatic]

Of the two I definitely prefer ARA's pitch but both would be a nice fit for the land.

This is from late November but it provides a nice update on the Boardwalk at Springdale Green.

^^The “social hammocks” look pretty neat, but what is this urban creek that may or may not exist?

That looks amazing.

[Echostatic]

It's a shame that park is private. But at least it doesn't seem to be completely closed off from the public.

That auto shop needs to be nuked from orbit. It's such an eyesore.

[wwmiv]

The powerlines are the eyesore and need to be put underground.
