A streamlined approach to infill housing is set for Council action - Austin Monitor
Briefly

The City Council is considering a proposed infill ordinance designed to expedite the approval process for small-scale residential developments of five to 16 housing units. This 'site plan lite' initiative, influenced by previous resolutions, aims to achieve a 90-day turnaround for permitting. Proposed amendments would alleviate some drainage regulations, which could decrease project costs by about 40%. The ordinance also intends to strike a balance between facilitating infill development and maintaining environmental and public safety protections, based on community and stakeholder feedback.
The draft ordinance aims to streamline the approval for small residential developments, potentially reducing project costs by 40% and ensuring environmental safety.
This proposal distinguishes between small and large residential projects, facilitating faster approvals for developments of five to 16 housing units.
