Austin City Council: Nixing parking requirements, addressing flooding issues

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:07:31 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Austin City Council will meet Thursday. With dozens of items on the agenda, here's some of what we're watching: Nixing parking requirements Austin City Council could start the process of stripping mandatory parking minimums from its overarching zoning requirements. Council Member Zohaib Qadri put forward a resolution that could change the city’s land development code (LDC).Right now, the city mandates how many parking spots you’re required to have on a property.

Assisting the plaintiffs are lawyers from Texas RioGrande Legal Aid and Austin Community Law Center and organizers with Building and Strengthening Tenant Action (BASTA)."The developer we are suing today forced our clients out of their homes much faster than the law allowed, just to speed up their project and their profits," said Austin Community Law Center in a press release.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:07:31 GMT

The University of Minnesota Board of Regents is meeting Thursday morning to select finalists from a pool of 21 applicants to become the U’s interim president.Board chair Janie Mayeron said she thought the one-week window for applicants, which closed Monday, could hurt the pool, but that didn’t seem to be the case.“I am thrilled with the applicant pool that we have received. And I am actually floored with the number of applications we received in such a short period of time,” she said Thursday.Under state law, the applicants’ names are not public until they become finalists.Thursday’s meeting is public, so the regents are discussing the applicants in an anonymized fashion.Each of the 12 regents was given six initial votes to allocate among the 21 applicants. They quickly eliminated 15 who failed to garner interest from at least half the board, then moved on to discussing the six who remained.President Joan Gabel is leaving next month to become chancellor at the University of Pittsbur...

By MIKE CORDER (Associated Press)THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took his campaign against Russia to the international war crimes court in the Netherlands on Thursday, saying he was certain Russian President Vladimir Putin would be convicted once his invasion of Ukraine is defeated.In The Hague, where the International Criminal Court is based, Zelenskyy urged the global community to hold Putin accountable and told the ICC judges that Russia’s leader “deserves to be sentenced for (his) criminal actions right here in the capital of the international law.”In March, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin for war crimes, accusing him of personal responsibility for the abductions of children from Ukraine.
