Additional Backup Information:
The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan (Imagine Austin) provides a roadmap for Austin to navigate the challenges of the 21st century and includes recommendations for historic preservation to identify, protect, and promote the culture and history of Austin’s iconic sites, structures, and districts.
The Historic Landmark Commission initiated the development of a new preservation plan for Austin in 202. The resulting Equity-Based Preservation Plan (the preservation plan) was developed by a community working group and revised based on public feedback. The preservation plan is being reviewed by City boards and commissions and will be presented to Council for review and possible adoption in the fall of 2024. Amending Imagine Austin to incorporate the preservation plan upon adoption by Council will further a coordinated, strategic approach to planning for the City.
