A Sustainable Assessment of the Codes and Plans for South Shore Central of Austin’s Lady Bird Lake
This project report provides valuable information surrounding the socioeconomic climate of Austin. Demographic and economic descriptions are coupled with plans for environmentally conscious future city development.The City of Austin has recognized that Lady Bird Lake (formerly named Town Lake) is a precious recreational resource in the heart of the urban core, which could be quickly overwhelmed if development along its shores is not carefully planned and regulated to provide a balance between accommodating growth in the urban core and preserving the character of the lakefront. The adoption of the 1985 Town Lake Corridor Study established foundational policies which were codified with the 1986 Waterfront Overlay Combining District (WOCD) ordinance. The ordinance established fifteen sub-districts (now sixteen sub-districts) within the overlay in order to calibrate the code to various locations along the 5.4 mile -long town lake corridor. The overall purpose of the ordinance was established “. . . to provide a more harmonious interaction and transition between urban development and the parkland and shoreline . . .”
In 2007 the City Council appointed a Waterfront Overlay Taskforce to review the adequacy of the current waterfront ordinance in light of changes that had been made to the original ordinance over the years and to increasing development pressure along the shoreline. The Waterfront Task Force Report, 2008, made several recommendations, including the re-establishment of a Waterfront Planning Advisory Board (WPAB) with responsibilities that include recommending potential changes to the Waterfront Overlay Combining District ordinance, with particular instructions to develop bonus provisions that create clear, predictable methods for increasing development entitlements in exchange for clear, predictable community benefits, and to develop improved design standards. The WPAB has conducted this work since its appointment two years ago, but has had to carry out this task with limited support resources and without the benefit of consultant assistance
The SDAT will provide an outside, professional review and assessment of the WPAB’s work to date and assist with recommendations for moving forward. Additionally, the SDAT process will help convene local resources and engage stakeholders to inform and assist with the work. In order to sharply focus the review and assessment process, the SDAT study will concentrate on one of the sub-districts of the Waterfront Overlay – South Shore Central – which is arguably the area along the waterfront most likely to face potential redevelopment prospects, and the adjacent sub-districts to the west and east which, respectively, introduce a major park land (Auditorium Shores) and an area with commercial transitioning to residential uses (Travis Heights). The South Shore Central sub-district is also adjacent to established neighborhoods. This area concentrates the issues of how to promote urban excellence while maintaining, enhancing, and connecting to parkland and neighborhoods.Waller Creek Working Grou
Management Strategy for Oneida Lake
Many people throughout the Oneida Lake watershed community have been working hard over the past several years to improve and protect Oneida Lake and its tributaries. This has involved extensive planning, creative program implementation, comprehensive data collection and analysis, and the development of professional partnerships leading to improved cost effectiveness and program effictency.
The Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board (CNY RPDB) was responsible for coordinating the Oneida Lake Watershed Management Plan and worked with many watershed stakeholders to reach a diverse set of program goals. This has been an action-oriented, local level initiative involving extensive data collection and analysis, identification of priority issues, and the selection of opportunities for effective solutions.
This report, A Management Strategy for Oneida Lake and Its Watershed (Strategy), contains a description of the environmental setting and cultural influences, background information on the priority water resource issues of concern, and recommendations to address these problems. The Strategy also presents a summary of the additional work (such as monitoring and education projects) that was accomplished as part of the watershed management plan over the past 3 Y2 years.
Eight priority lake and watershed problem areas were initially identified through municipal surveys, stakeholder discussion groups, public comment meetings, and input from county Water Quality Coordinating Committees. Community leaders and agency representatives then met on a regular basis as Working Groups during 2003 and 2004 to compile background information and identify short and long-term goals for each of these issues. Recommendations were also developed for the long-term protection and enhancement of Oneida Lake and its tributaries. The findings were reviewed and endorsed by the Watershed Advisory Council and were then presented at six public meetings throughout the watershed. The findings from this effort are presented in this report.
A Management Strategy for Oneida Lake and Its Watershed also provides information about the environmental and economic setting throughout the watershed. This information was taken from The Oneida Lake State of the Lake and Watershed Report (SOLWR) that was published in 2003. The SOLWR serves as a reference for local decision-makers. It is used in the identification and prioritization of goals and in the development of action plans for the protection of surface water and groundwater resources. Many watershed partners contributed to the collection of information for the SOL WR, which is now available at municipal offices, public libraries, and agencies throughout the watershed. It can also be found on the Internet at www .cnyrpdb.org/oneidalake
