Residents of the South Manchaca, Garrison Park and Westgate neighborhoods are preparing to form a contact team to help guide the use of the South Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan. Austin City Council approved the planning document outlining land-use options for the South Manchaca, Garrison Park and Westgate neighborhoods unanimously Nov. 6. "There are a lot of people who are interested in moving the plan forward, so this is really exciting," said Francis Reilly, senior planner with the city's Planning and Development Review Departments Comprehensive Planning Division. Neighborhood plan contact teams include residents and business owners, Reilly said. The city utilizes the plan when it reviews zoning and development proposals, and the team will help keep the plan up-to-date over time, he said. The team will be assembled by this spring, he said. The SACNP planning process kicked off Jan. 12, 2013, bringing residents together to discuss the vision for their area, Garrison Park area resident Laura Bucaro said. "I ended up in the workshops meeting a bunch of neighbors and getting to know them," she said. "My neighbors and I realized we don't have a neighborhood association. So we actually started one." Many residents supported the SACNP, but others opposed it citing concerns about infill guidelines that would result in rezoning. The city posted the plan online and hosted an informational meeting about forming the SACNP contact team Jan. 28.
