Tom Word, Chief of Public Works Operations
As part of the adoption of the revised Subdivision Ordinance, the Public Works
Departments created the City of Round Rock Design and Construction Standards
(DACS) to provide supporting design criteria. The Council approved the first reading
of this ordinance on December 2, 2004,

Background Information:
In the past, the City of Round Rock has relied on the City of Austin's Design Criteria
Manuals. As the City has grown, it is more appropriate for Round Rock to adopt its
own standards, which will allow for a more consistent process and procedures. The
DACS parallel the City of Austin Standards as much as practicable. This consistency
helps minimize confusion and simplify development through out the region.
Public Comment:
Two focus group meetings were held earlier this year with several members of the
local engineering community. An open house was held in November. (Several of the
more significant changes in the DACS are a direct result of changes in the revised
Subdivision Ordinance. There were several focus groups held with members of the
development community regarding the revised Subdivision Ordinance).
