Occupancy limits will expire in March! Please sign the new petition telling the Mayor and City Council to continue the occupancy ordinance and eliminate the March expiration date. https://www.change.org/p/mayor-mayor-steve-adler-city-of-austin-texas-continue-the-occupancy-ordinance-and-eliminate-a-march-expiration-date Two years ago the City Council fixed a very serious problem for our urban neighborhoods by voting 6-1 to reduce occupancy limits in the city’s McMansion area. The occupancy ordinance works: in 2014 Northfield alone had suffered over 80 demolitions of older moderately priced houses replaced with dorm-style duplexes. Today, those demolitions have practically ceased. Moderately priced housing is being saved under the current ordinance because economic incentives to demolish older, more affordable housing and replace it with high occupancy duplexes have been reduced. The Occupancy Ordinance, however, expires on March 31 2016. Sign this petition and tell the Mayor and City Council to continue the Occupancy ordinance and eliminate the March expiration date.
