Find out why this city offers something for every taste – the sophistication of the state capital, the youthful energy generated by the University of Texas, the modern high tech mecca, and some of the finest, most cutting-edge food in the nation.

In tune with the Live Music Capital theme, the contemporary lobby boasts a living wall in the form of Waylon Jennings’ favorite guitar, Stella. The lobby bar and highly rated, Stella San Jac restaurant, are welcoming gathering spots for Chaîne friends. The rooftop bar and swimming pool offer great views of the city skyline and formidable cocktails. Forgot your workout clothes? No fear, the Westin provides what you need at no charge.

    ORDINANCE NO. 040826-56 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE AUSTIN TOMORROW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN BY ADOPTING THE CENTRAL AUSTIN COMBINED NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN. BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: PARTI. Findings. (A) In 1979, the Cily Council adopted the "Austin Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan." (B) Article X, Section 5 of the City Charter authorizes the City Council to adopt by ordinance additional elements of a comprehensive plan that are necessary or desirable to establish and implement policies for growth, development, and beautification, including neighborhood, community, or area-wide plans. (C) In December 2002, the Central Austin neighborhood was selected to work with the City to complete a neighborhood plan. The Central Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan followed a process first outlined by the Citizens' Planning Committee in 1995, and refined by the Ad Hoc Neighborhood Planning Committee in 1996. The City Council endorsed this approach for neighborhood planning in a 1997 resolution. This process mandated representation of all of the stakeholders in the neighborhood and required active public outreach. The City Council directed the Planning Commission to consider the plan in a 2002 resolution. During the planning process, the Central Austin Combined Neighborhood Planning Team gathered information and solicited public input through the following means: (1.) neighborhood planning team meetings; (2) collection of existing data; (3) neighborhood inventory; (4) neighborhood survey; (5) neighborhood workshops; (6) community-wide meetings; and (7) a neighborhood final survey. Page 1 of 3 (D) The Central Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan recommends action by the Central Austin Combined Neighborhood Planning Team, City staff, and by other agencies to preserve and improve the neighborhood.

As of the 2010 U.S. Census, the MSA ranks No. 35 out of the top 50 largest MSAs in the nation. The MSA includes five counties: Williamson, Travis, Hays, Bastrop and Caldwell. Austin is the largest city in the region, the Travis County seat and capitol of Texas.1 Map 1: Location Austin is renowned for its attractiveness to young professionals seeking both cutting‐edge employment and a high quality of life. The Austin area is similar to Hillsborough County in terms of its population growth and demographic characteristics, its proximity to major universities, as well as its humid, subtropical climate; however, the Austin area was selected as a case study more for its differences. 1 Note: City of Austin is home to the Texas State Capitol, which employs approximately 150,000 employs statewide, although the majority work in the Central Texas region (Source: Texas State Auditor’s Office, Summary of the Texas State Workforce, FY 2006). 1 of 15 September 7, 2011 Uniquely, Austin area has capitalized on a quality of life ethos coupled with an economic development framework focused on attracting “location‐less” (e.g.
