Austin City Council will hold a city-wide public hearing on the proposed re-zoning of Austin, this Saturday, December 7th beginning at 10 a.m. Free parking is available below City Hall (enter from Guadalupe St.), simply bring your ticket to be validated.

For those wishing to speak to Council, you will need to register for public comment. See information about upzoning.

The National Weather Service has completed a historical rainfall study, called Atlas 14. This study shows that Central Texas is more likely to experience larger storms and resulting flooding than previously thought. A change to City code is proposed to protect the public from flooding; an interim 100-year floodplain will be based on the current 500-year floodplain. See the presentation.
