I got someone in the Environmental & Health Services office to throw me a
PDF of the plain text of the Deep Ellum plan that is completely up to date.
It has major changes from the one I had scanned in that I uploaded before.
This one doesn't have the pictures that the hard copy had, but that one was
from like 1992 and Deep Ellum's been through a lot of changes in the last 15
years.

Basically, this is the code that tells people what they can and can't do in
this neighborhood. Open a concert club? Sure! Put in a nuclear power plant?
No so much. How tall can buildings be? What are the guidelines for
store/business signs? That sort of thing.

I've uploaded the new one to the files section [pd269(no_pix).pdf] and
renamed the old one that has the pictures in it in case those are still
useful. I haven't had a chance to read this yet short of a few spot checks
to note that there are some major differences. Also, it's not full of OCR
mistakes. =) I knew that hard copy wouldn't scan very well. It was probably
a 4th generation photocopy. Any typos in the new one are typos that have
been ratified into law. ;-)

OK, gotta pack for the SXSW Film Festival.... Time for me to party Austin
style!

Sam:

I scanned the PDF looking for any height restrictions for public art
but don't find that. Have you come across any numbers in the past?

If I'm fortunate enough to be chosen in the Deep Ellum Gateway
comptetition, I know my architect team members will be digging that
up, but for the sake of preliminary estimates, it would help a lot to
know how tall things can be.
