AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Austin City Council postponed its vote Thursday on the resolution to implement changes to parkland dedication ordinances which are need in order to comply with a new state law that passed last session and will go into effect in January.Citing "complex calculations" in the new map, District 4 Council Member Jose "Chito" Vela asked to postpone the vote to the next City Council Meeting on Nov. 9 so that council members had more time to look over the changes before voting. No city council members objected to Vela's motion. Previously, Austin's ordinance required developers to provide nearly 10 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents or face a fee. The new state law requires local officials to reduce that amount down to 3,000 square feet in Austin’s downtown and to three acres in suburban neighborhoods. “The bill requires Austin to make substantial changes to the current parkland ordinance to comply with state law, and there is very little room for the city’s discr...
