    Combating urban sprawl : proposing an urban containment system for the Austin region
    (2019-05-08) Davila, Robert Abraham; Paterson, Robert G.
    This professional report aims to gather lessons from multiple references in order to draw implications for the Austin region and strategies in adopting growth management. Specifically, Urban Containment Systems will be evaluated throughout different parts of the country through a dissection of regional comprehensive plans. In addition, strategies from different Council of Governments in regards to growth management will be discussed. Containment isn’t regulated at the state or regional level. Although local approached in growth management have been implemented through ordinances and initiatives, it will be important to also acknowledge ways a bottom-up approach could be applied for the Austin region as a whole.

    Fiscal impact analysis for a smart growth zoning strategy : a study of West Campus University neighborhood overlay district
    (2008-05) Cho, Kyusuk; Paterson, Robert G.
    This report reviews the cost of urban sprawl and shows the fiscal impact of smart growth. The report then focuses on the West Campus University Neighborhood Overlay (UNO) District in Austin, Texas, and it analyzes and estimates the fiscal impact on the City of Austin. Through fiscal impact analysis, it examines the contribution of the UNO District to the fiscal position of the City of Austin. As a result, this report gives the City of Austin fiscal reasons for redevelopment based on the smart growth scenario. This report begins with showing the cost of urban sprawl. Then, it reviews the history,principles, and policies of smart growth. The following section demonstrates the fiscal impact of smart growth. Lastly, the case of the West Campus area is examined by fiscal impact analysis. The result after the analysis shows the fiscal impacts on the City of Austin from both sides of budget, including expenditures and revenues. The revenues received from the residents of the area increased due to the sudden jump in property value, growth population, housing constructions, and mixed-use development. However, the costs also increased due to the needs for public services.
