Current 7-11 site plan represents missed FBC opportunity
As residents of Harmon Triangle we have been eagerly anticipating the Airport Boulevard redevelopment and use of form-based code (FBC) to make our neighborhood "Austin's new great urban destination." What is FBC? We think it is well explained by the PDF report available on the Austin Boulevard website. It even includes examples using 7-11. The "Sustainable Development" version below would be a welcome addition to our neighborhood, in our opinion. However, the current plan closely resembles the "Conventional Development" example below (note that BOTH examples are 7-11s).
