District 7 Council Member Leslie Pool was the center of attention at
Thursday's City Council meeting.
A proposal to allow for the subdivision of single-family lots, which
Pool spearheaded, was greeted with over five hours of public testimony –
some very much in support of the changes, and some adamantly against,
calling it a "lifestyle devastation."
"This is a let them eat cake policy," one Austin resident said. "This is
for those who can take advantage because the land value will have
skyrocketed. Most of us will have to sell and we'll have to sell to a
developer not a family."
For nearly three hours, a wave of residents proclaimed their displeasure
and disgust with the proposal. But the tide seemed to turn after that,
with many supportive voices from a generally younger demographic,
seemingly balancing it out.
The Austin City Council on Thursday gave the initial stamp of approval
for the subdivision of single-family lots through a decrease of the
current 5,750 square feet minimum to 2,500 square feet.

"It does not eliminate single-family zoning districts. It does not
change the zoning on anyone's property. It does not force a reduction of
existing single-family lots," Pool said on Thursday. "It does not make
any changes today.
"What it does do is initiates code amendments and a process that
includes staff analysis and recommendations," Pool said.
The proposal would also allow for more housing units to be developed per
lot to promote "attainable and diverse housing opportunities for
residents of all income levels," the proposal draft reads, something
several residents agreed with.
“I support (the zoning item) ... for the fact that we need affordable
housing to bring density and better public transportation so we can get
closer to the goal of a 10-minute city,” one resident said.
"Assuming sound environmental and safety constraints, people ought to be
able to use their land as they like," a homeowner said. "This is Texas
after all."

One UT Austin student noted that "there has not been a single young
person who has spoken in opposition to item 126," and said "I plan to
continue my education to a doctoral level, and I would prefer for my
future to be taken into consideration so I did not have to live with my
parents again."
The proposal passed in a 9-2 vote. Council Members Alison Alter and
Mackenzie Kelly voted no on the proposal.
