The NCC typically meets on the 2nd Wednesday each month, although occasionally meeting dates are changed. Also, if there are not enough applications then a meeting may be canceled. Please contact the NCC Administration Team at ncc@muelleraustinonline.com for any recent schedule updates.

 

For the remainder of 2020 and 2021, the following dates are planned:

 

 

 

In addition to the plans and sections outlined above, each submittal will require the appropriate review fees. Please use the NCC Fee Chart to determine the correct amount. Single Family Home projects pay a single fee upfront and commercial projects (including multifamily) pay a fee for each review step. If your submittal is not complete or does not address all outstanding conditions you will be required to submit a re-submittal packet and a $1,000 review fee.

 

The NCC requires electronic (pdf) submittals, one half size copy and one full size copy by 5pm on the submittal deadline. Sets should be packaged in a way that they are cohesive and thoughtful, being sure that they are easy to understand and read. Any submittals that sent unorganized, or not matching the other sets will be rejected. Submittals should be sent as follows:

 

1) Please email a fileshare link or pdf files of the submittal (including application, copy of fee check, comment response memo, drawings, etc.) to the NCC Administration Team at ncc@muelleraustinonline.com. Please double check to only include the required drawings (no irrigation plans, interior sheets, etc.)

 

2) Please mail (or courier) a Full size set to McCann Adams Studio at 1905 Aldrich Street, Suite 140, Austin, Texas 78723. These must be received by 5pm on the submittal date as shown above and should include a copy of the application and any related memos.

 

3) Please mail (or courier) a half size (11x17) set to Christine Freundl, City of Austin - Economic Development Department at 301 West 2nd Street, Suite 2030, Austin, Texas 78701.

 

 

The Austin Energy Green Building review is a required step in addition to the NCC review. This will be required prior to any NCC project approvals. Please use the applications below to start that process:

 

 

Architectural Master Plan - Resubmittal

 

 

The Mueller Design Book (MDB) contains guidelines for site planning, architectural design of specific building types, and the design of public spaces and streetscape improvements. It also establishes standards for landscaping and targets for achieving sustainable design. The design guidelines are intended to provide guidance to owners and contractors regarding matters of particular concern to the NCC. NCC decisions are based primarily (though not exclusively) on the guidelines set forth in the Mueller Design Book (MDB).

 

Occasionally, it is suggested or requested that NCC Members or McCann Adams Studio meet with an applicant prior to or during the submittal process to discuss overall design or work through concerns, there will be fees for these meetings that will be invoiced to the applicant by the NCC.
