Know when it's time to speak up.

Sand Beach Reserve is public land on the north shore of Lady Bird Lake. The fate of the PUD rezoning will be decided at public hearings by the City of Austin — the moments an ordinary Austinite can actually change the outcome. The State has the overriding power to require that Reserve land be used for public purposes. Leave your email and we'll tell you when a decision is coming.

What you'll get

Only when it counts.

This is not a newsletter and it is not a mailing list we sell or share. It exists for one purpose: to reach you at the few moments a public decision is actually in play.

Hearings & deadlines

When the Planning Commission or City Council sets a hearing date — and when public comment is open — you'll know in time to act.

Major filings

When a significant document is filed or a proposal changes, we'll point you to the primary source in the archive.

How to help

Clear, specific ways to make a difference — a comment to submit, a meeting to attend, a document to share.

The evidence is all here, in the open.

This site is a documentary record. Before you decide the land is worth defending, see for yourself: start with the boundary map, follow the history, or open the source documents and read the deeds, plats, and surveys directly.

For the present-day development context — the July 2026 PUD application, its heights and unit counts — see the current proposal page.
