Description: The Growth Concept Map assembles compact and walkable activity centers and corridors, as well as job centers, and coordinates them with future transportation improvements. These centers and corridors allow people to reside, work, shop, access services, people watch, recreate, and hang out without traveling far distances. Within them, the design and scale of buildings and the design and availability of parks and gathering spaces will welcome people of all ages and abilities. They will be walkable, bikable, and connected to one another, the rest of the city, and the region by roads, transit, bicycle routes and lanes, and trails. The activity centers and corridors included on this map identify locations for additional people and jobs above what currently exists on the ground. Unlike more detailed small-area plan maps, the Growth Concept Map provides broad direction for future growth and is not parcel specific. Centers that are already established by existing small-area plans, such as those for East Riverside Drive or Highland Mall, are drawn to reflect those plans. Centers without small-area plans are simply shown with a circle, indicating scale and general location. Specifying boundaries for these centers may occur through small-area plans or general guidelines for implementing this plan.

Description: During the Neighborhood Planning Process, neighbors and staff develop a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) that is a graphical representation of recommendations for future growth patterns in an area. It depicts where different types of development should occur. This GIS is an aggregation of the GIS layers for each FLUM, and does not serve as an official FLUM's that can be viewed at http://www.austintexas.gov/page/adopted-neighborhood-planning-areas-0. Official FLUM's may contain City Council adopted notations and information that is not contained in this GIS. The Hyde Park and Old West Austin Neighborhood Planning Areas do not have a City Council Approved Future Land Use Map. http://www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/files/files/Planning/Neighborhood_Planning/land_use_policy_guide.pdf contains more information on the land use codes used in the FLUM's. This layer also contains information on the parcel-based Infill Options. It does not show all infill options. More information on these can be obtained at http://www.austintexas.gov/department/neighborhood-planning-resources.

Description: The land inventory is based on several sources. Information is collected only in the City of Austin’s Full, Limited Purpose, and Extra-territorial jurisdictions, and not entire counties. The polygon geography is taken from appraisal district parcel layers. A land use inventory is performed by classifying land according to a coding system that reflects the primary improvements (buildings or structures) on each parcel. Most of the land use information is attached through a GIS Union from past land use inventories. Undeveloped parcels are checked against building permit, aerials, and appraisal records, generally collected during the fall of the previous year, or when data was made available.

Description: This feature class represents the boundaries of the City of Austin Neighborhood Planning Areas (NPA). The status of these areas, as directed by City Council, can either be plan approved, planning underway/set to begin, future planning area, or non-neighborhood planning area. Future planning area boundaries may change before they are set by the City Council to begin. See http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/planning/neighborhood/planning_basics.htm for more information.

Description: Methodology: A copy of the COA 5 Mile ETJ Jurisdiction layer is clipped using the erase geoprocessing tool. The served areas are taken out by this process and shows the areas that are deficient. The layer is now clipped at the edge of the ROW (based on the criteria used in the service buffer layer - transportation classifications and railroads). Then the airport and Balcones Canyonlands Preserves and Water Quality Protection Lands were removed.
