Central West Austin: Yard Rules and WANG Tract Height

Last reviewed September 17, 2026 · City of Austin planning documents · Kimbrough Gray · KiliGray Homes

Windsor Road and the West Austin Neighborhood Group area adopted garage and front-yard tools through separate 2010 zoning ordinances. WANG also has a tract-specific height condition. The neighborhood plan’s discussion of a possible conservation district does not itself impose an NCCD.

Applies to: Use Windsor Road Ordinance 20100923-103 or WANG Ordinance 20100930-037, as applicable to the mapped parcel.

Restrictions traced to adopted documents

The adopted tool selections

Windsor Road Part 4 adopts front-yard impervious-cover/parking placement, front/side-yard parking restrictions and garage placement. WANG Part 4 adopts the same selections. Neither Part 4 adds the front-porch setback tool.

20100923-103, Part 4 (PDF p. 2).

WANG’s numerical height condition

WANG Part 6 sets a 35-foot maximum height on Tract 104. The condition attaches to that tract, not to every property in Central West Austin. Part 4 supplies WANG’s separate residential design-tool selections.

Send us an address and we will tell you what we find

We do this research ourselves on every project we take on — zoning, floodplain, watershed, trees, whether it is a legal lot. Send us an address and we will run it and tell you what we find. It works the same whether you own a vacant lot, a house you are thinking of adding a unit to, or a house you are thinking of replacing. No charge and no strings, and if it is a bad lot we will say so.

We are homebuilders, not the City of Austin. This page explains how we read the code in practice — it is not legal advice and it is not an official determination. Always confirm with Austin Development Services before you rely on it for a project. The authoritative text is the Austin Land Development Code; permitting questions go to Austin Development Services Department.
