City Council OK’s Bastrop Development Code

The Bastrop Building Block, or B3, Code will be replaced.

Long story short: During a March 24 meeting, Bastrop City Council approved the adoption of the Bastrop Development Code that will guide land use and future needs through “objective standards and consistent procedures.”

“This approach aligns with City Council’s stated purpose to ‘create a fiscally sustainable community through land-use standards that are authentically Bastrop and geographically sensitive,’” Brittany Epling, a senior planner with the city of Bastrop, said.

Zooming in: The Bastrop Development Code, unlike the B3 Code, is a Euclidean-based zoning ordinance, which features clearly named zoning districts, a consolidated table of permitted uses, and straightforward dimensional and developmental standards.

“This has been a long process and plays a big role in how Bastrop grows moving forward,” Bastrop Mayor Ishmael Harris said.

The outlook: A second reading of the Bastrop Development Code will take place at 6:30 p.m. April 14 during a Bastrop City Council meeting at City Hall, 1311 Chestnut St., Bastrop.

Delta Airlines to launch Phoenix route, expand Bozeman flights from Austin airport

Delta Airlines is expanding its flights out of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport with new routes launching to Phoenix and Bozeman, Montana, later this year.

Additionally, the global airline plans to offer new routes from Austin to Asheville, North Carolina; Columbus, Ohio; Kalispell, Montana; and Kansas City, Missouri, in 2026.

What's happening: Delta Airlines announced it will launch twice-daily nonstop flights to Phoenix from ABIA beginning Nov. 9.

The new route to Bozeman will begin June 13 with Saturday-only flights. Delta will expand the route with daily trips from Austin to Bozeman from Dec. 19 to March 28.

The impact: The new Phoenix route will connect Central Texans to Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, which is known for its championship golf courses, culinary scene, desert hiking and access to Scottsdale and Sedona, according to Delta Airlines information.

The additional Bozeman flights will allow flyers to travel to Montana during peak ski season and visit Yellowstone National Park.
