Austin's West Campus may see transformative changes as city staff reviews updates to the University Neighborhood Overlay, initially established in 2004. The proposed revisions, highlighted in a recent presentation, aim to address the significant population growth—28,000 new residents—while maintaining the neighborhood's cores of density, walkability, and affordability. Key alterations include raising height limits from 60 and 85 feet to an ambitious 600 feet in some areas and expanding the overlay's borders. City officials stress these changes enhance an already successful zoning strategy rather than rectify a failing one.
The proposed changes to the University Neighborhood Overlay will include significant height limit increases and an expansion of the overlay's borders, aiming to adapt to the growing population.
Officials assert that these updates are not a remedy for failures but an enhancement of a successful zoning initiative designed to promote density and affordability.
