“We want to see more people of all ages in the heart of our city ([http://www.aura-atx.org/what_we_believe]). “

High childcare costs in Austin make it harder for families to live in the city. CodeNEXT must allow childcare, of all sizes, all around the city in order to facilitate abundant day care access to all. Allowing day cares off of major corridors is imperative; children face no greater threat than cars. Many daycares are found in interior neighborhoods, allow families to easily walk with a stroller or wagon to bring their children to daycare. This is critical to ensuring families are welcomed in all areas.

== The Problem ==

Daycares of various sizes are a permitted use in CodeNEXT. CodeNEXT prescribes parking minimums as well.

*Small (<= 7 children) are P in transects: T3NE.WL and up, (all transects)

*Large (>7 children & <20 children) are CUP in transects: T3NE.WL, T3NE, T3N.DS, T3N.IS (both IS & IS-O), T4N (both IS & IS-O), T5N (both SS & SS-O); permitted in T4; permitted in T5U.SS, T5U, T5MS, & T6U;

*Commercial: unpermitted use below T3N.IS; for T3N.IS, T4N, T5N.SS, unpermitted in IS, SS categories (respectively), CUP in IS-O and SS-O; permitted in T4(MS); unpermitted in T5U.SS, T5U; permitted in T5MS & T6U,

Parking: 1 per 500sqft in T3N.IS, T4N.IS, T4N.SS, T4MS, T5N, T5U.SS, T5U, & T5MS; no parking requirements in T6U

== Recommendations ==

* Small daycares should be permitted by-right in all transects
* Large daycares should be permitted by-right in all transects
* Commercial daycares should be permitted by-right in all transects
* Small, Large, & Commercial daycares should not have parking requirements

-Austin is the self-proclaimed “Live Music Capital of the World”, but rising rents for both housing and commercial space, inadequacies in the current code, and an arcane permitting process combine to place that claim, as well as our larger art  at risk. Every neighborhood deserves access to music and the arts. Additionally, a crucial factor for city vibrancy is the presence of “third places,” locations that are not homes (first places) or places of employment (second places). Music venues are some of Austin’s most well-known, and best-used, third places.
+Breweries and brewpubs are an important amenity and business in Austin. They generate much sales tax revenue and sought-after by both locals and tourists.
 == The Problem ==
-Current transect language does not distinguish where a particular music venue may be best situated (for example, a 100-person listening room vs. a 2,500-person outdoor theatre).
+A conditional use permit (CUP) is required if brewery/brewpub closer than 540’ from a SFH.
-−
-Building types do not refer to music venues.
+CodeNEXT unnecessarily limits micro-breweries/distilleries/wineries.

+In order to preserve live music in Austin, the zoning code should enable latitude in structures which can accommodate music from homes on major & minor arterials to commercial buildings with adequate sound modification. The zoning code should accommodate a goal of a music venue within a 5 to 10 minute walk for every Austinite. Further fostering the creation of organic music venues maintaining Austin’s reputation for live music for future generations.
