Proposed Amendment to Austin’s Land Development Code
McMansion Amendment spreads South
Expanding the boundaries to include the following: north of William Cannon, south of Ben White Boulevard, east of Manchaca Drive, and west of Interstate Highway 35.
Current McMansion regulations (Subchapter F, Land Development Code).
A surprise letter came today for a meeting and vote on Thursday. They plan to further tell us what we can do with our own land that we pay property taxes for. Further restrictions, more limitations, and more control is what they are after. Vote NO! on this proposal that they are attempting to shove down our throats at the eleventh hour. I don’t particularly love “McMansion” type of large gaudy shoddy home development. There is a large condo style fourplex just a few doors down from 4408 Hank Avenue sprawling over two lots. Yet, these developers/investors own the land, although probably temporarily, more than likely defaulting back to the almighty greed hungry bankers, they too have control on what they can build on the property.
