Austin voters will get a say in November on the land use rules re-write CodeNEXT. That’s the order from Travis County State District Judge Orlinda Naranjo who says the city must put the ordinance on the ballot after a petition with over thirty thousand signatures was submitted. Attorney Fred Lewis says in the eyes of the law, since it’s in draft form now, there is no CodeNEXT.
It’s uncertain how this will affect upcoming council and mayoral elections but Lewis calls it a victory for the citizens.
