This meting will address community design (corridors), housing & subdivisions, support for older neighborhoods and historic preservation. This information will help to shape the General Plan 2020’s policy recommendations in these areas.
After a short presentation, participants will discuss the following questions in small groups:
-
How can we improve the appearance of transportation corridors in Round Rock? Can you name some corridors in Round Rock that are good examples?
-
Where do you think commercial development belongs on a corridor? What about residential, office, and multi-family development?
-
What are the things that you like and the things that you don’t like about existing subdivisions in Round Rock? Please comment on both physical and community aspects.
-
What mix of housing types should be encouraged within a single subdivision and how should those types be arranged? If there is commercial development within a residential subdivision, where is the best location for it?
-
What types of investments can the city make to improve deteriorating neighborhoods?
-
To what degree should the City participate in historic preservation efforts and why?
-
To what degree should the City regulate design for alterations to historic structures?
There will be a wrap-up meeting on July 15. Whether or not you are able to attend these meetings, please share your thoughts with us here on the blog!
