Environmental Commission recommends watershed code changes despite equity concerns - Austin Monitor
Briefly

A complete list of donors is available here, and our code of ethics is explained here.These sections of city code haven't been substantially updated in decades.The amendments to Title 25 of city code make much-needed updates to regulations around stormwater drainage, wastewater infrastructure, landscape requirements and wetland protections.Among other items, the commission recommends amending the draft language to require small-scale "missing middle" projects to send out zoning and building notifications to adjacent neighbors within 500 feet; requiring long-term maintenance plans for landscaping and functional green infrastructure; and ordering affected neighborhood drainage be brought up to code to improve capacity and reduce environmental impact.
