We did receive a significant increase in both our new residential applications as well as our remodel and addition applications prior to council taking action.

Austin, of course, places a high priority on both citizen involvement and input and protection of the environment. So I think because of that, our regulations do tend to be a little difficult.

If the regulations were to change at any given point…the regulations that were in effect on the date the application was submitted are the regulations that would apply to that application.

Anyone can stop in with their plans and sit down with a reviewer and ask questions that are specific to their project.
