The City of Austin released their second draft of the long awaited and largely controversial CodeNEXT zoning revisions last Friday, September 15th. The draft comes in response to the first round of comments and suggestions from the community, and mayor Steve Adler urged critics to continue engaging in the revision process in order to make the third draft more representative of the city's needs.
