The North Burnet/Gateway Master Plan presents a long-term vision for a 2,300-acre area along MoPac, north of Hwy 183, to redevelop the existing low density, auto-oriented and industrial uses into a higher density mixed-use neighborhood that is more pedestrian-friendly and takes advantage of the links to commuter rail transit and the area’s key position within Austin’s Urban Core. The Master Plan will serve as the neighborhood plan for the area and plan provides a framework for infrastructure improvements and zoning changes that will guide future development. The plan introduces a model for a more sustainable, compact form of development in a region that is challenged by explosive growth.
