3. 7:15 Sign Ordinance
Discuss resolution opposing proposed revision of Austin City Code Ch. 25-10. Primary concerns are encapsulated below and proposed resolution is available for review here: Proposed Resolution related to Item 64 on the January 22, 2026 Austin City Council Agenda.
[VOTE ANTICIPATED]
The proposed ordinance change would allow larger signs in the public right-of-way that include electronic images, lights, and off-premise advertising. Specifically, the proposed
ordinance would allow 58’ “way-finding” kiosks downtown and electronic advertising at bus stops and bike kiosks. Smartphones, which are almost universally used, provide more information than any kiosk could. Moreover, Austin’s streetscape is already full of distracting and messy elements, and the proposed kiosks are almost certain to be vandalized.
Presenter: Planning & Zoning Chair Anita Tschurr (5 min)
4. 7:20 Rowan Vale Development
Discuss resolution opposing Affordable Housing Development at 206 E. Annie, on the northeast corner of Annie and Nickerson. The neighbors’ primary complaints about the development are: 1) totally out of scale with neighborhood of residential houses (and residential zoning) 2) no knowledge of neighborhood and parking and traffic issues, both of which this will exacerbate 3) too close to edges of property, especially along north side and 4) ignores both the goals of the Greater South River Combined Neighborhood Plan and the stated principles of the City of Austin’s Zoning Guide. Notably, this project is firmly inside the residential neighborhood core, rather than on its periphery.
Proposed resolution language is available for review here: Proposed Resolution: SSRC-Rowan-Vale-Development
[VOTE ANTICIPATED]
Presenter: Planning & Zoning Chair Anita Tschurr (5 min)
