Continuing Missing Middle & Mixed-Use

[Julie Montgomery]

Colleagues,

I wanted to let you all know I am working with Planning and Law staff to bring a code amendment initiation resolution to create the new Missing Middle and Mixed-Use zoning districts recommended in the recent staff memo and study:
https://services.austintexas.gov/edims/ ... ?id=466991

As the lead sponsor of Site Plan Lite (Ellis 2022), an original cosponsor of HOME (Pool 2023), the ETOD Policy Plan (Harper-Madison 2021), Single Stair (Vela 2024), and Neighborhood Coffee Shops (R. Alter 2025), I am eager and excited to get these long-needed code amendments underway to make it easier to build missing middle housing and mixed-use developments. We know these kinds of buildings are critical to reaching our affordability, mobility, equity, and environmental goals and unlocking Imagine Austin’s vision of a compact and connected city.

If you would like to join me as a cosponsor on this resolution, please feel free to reply below or let my Chief of Staff Julie Montgomery know.

Best,
Paige

On behalf of CM Ellis
