The Master Development Plan (MDP) and related ordinance establishes the regulatory framework for development projects within the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) campus. City Council adopted the first MDP by ordinance in 1994 when the campus was transforming from the recently closed Bergstrom Air Force Base into the new Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. City Council adopted the most recent version of the MDP Ordinance (Ordinance 20120628-014) on June 28, 2012, and it is required to be reviewed every 10 years. The current draft ordinance will incorporate a set of variances to guide the AUS future expansion while ensuring the City’s environmental and sustainability requirements and principles are upheld.
