Upper Boggy Creek: Adopted Subdistrict and Garage Rules

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

Upper Boggy Creek’s 2006 amendment provides the clearest adopted residential design-tool boundaries. It treats Blackland, Rogers–Washington–Holy Cross, Cherrywood, Delwood II and Wilshire Wood/Delwood I differently. The old plan’s Manor and Value Skypark height proposals should not be treated as zoning limits without a matching adopted provision.

Applies to: Ordinance 20060406-051 amends the original 020801-92 zoning and includes a five-subdistrict map. Apply its selections by mapped subdistrict and proposed use.

Restrictions traced to adopted documents

Four subdistricts adopted the yard and garage tools

Part 4 applies §25-2-1603 front-yard impervious-cover/parking placement and §25-2-1604 garage placement to the named residential uses in Blackland, Rogers–Washington–Holy Cross, Cherrywood and Delwood II. Wilshire Wood/Delwood I is not in that selection.

20060406-051, Part 4 (PDF p. 2).

Only two subdistricts adopted this porch provision

Part 5 applies §25-2-1602 front-porch setbacks in Cherrywood and Delwood II. Part 3’s boundaries and Exhibit B determine which selection applies. A combined Upper Boggy Creek label loses that distinction.

20060406-051, Parts 3 and 5; Exhibit B (PDF p. 2).

Height proposals are not an adopted height schedule

The original 020801-92 ordinance contains tract use and access conditions. This review did not establish that the plan’s general Manor/MLK and Value Skypark height recommendations became those sites’ present restrictions. Use the specific later zoning case for a numerical height conclusion.

The proposed housing use matters

Which garage rule applies to single-family, two-unit and three-unit projects?

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.
