About this mapped area City boundary · September 22, 2021

This boundary is a single polygon in the city's file, with ordinance 19990513-070 recorded in the source, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as EAST CESAR CHAVEZ.
The local field guide
East Cesar Chavez: a local library on the corridor
Terrazas Branch gives East Cesar Chavez a civic stop on its namesake street. The branch combines everyday library services with a reservable meeting room, while Austin’s neighborhood plan preserves a separate record of local planning decisions.

What the public record says about East Cesar Chavez
- City of Austin Development Services has issued 3,646 building permits that it has geocoded inside the East Cesar Chavez planning-area boundary, the earliest dated May 7, 1979 and the most recent September 17, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $1,056,703,249. Declared value is the figure an applicant puts on the permit application — not market value and not finished cost. Counted over every issue date in the city’s Issued Construction Permits dataset (3syk-w9eu), building permits only. Placing a permit inside a boundary needs a mapped coordinate, and about one building permit in seven (13.8% of them, as published on 2026-07-26) carries no location at all — those rows cannot be placed in any neighbourhood, here or anywhere else, so this is a count of geocoded permits rather than of every permit issued. How busy it is now is a different question, and the list below is the honest answer to it: the 25 most recently issued permits here were all issued since April 21, 2026.
- The 1 most recent restaurant inspections we could place inside this boundary run from August 22, 2026 to August 22, 2026, averaging 95 out of 100. Austin Public Health publishes these in irregular batches, historically weeks after the visit, and this page lists at most 15 — so that count is the size of our list, not the number of restaurants in East Cesar Chavez. A score is a single-visit snapshot.
- Of the 100 highest-grossing mixed-beverage filers the Texas Comptroller lists for ZIP 78702, 78701, 78741, 78722, 78705, 11 sit inside this boundary. The newest filing in that set is August 2026. Per-venue figures are gross receipts reported to the Comptroller, summed over each venue’s own filing months — never a total for East Cesar Chavez. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.

East Cesar Chavez: questions people actually ask
Is East Cesar Chavez an official Austin neighborhood?
East Cesar Chavez is one of 65 named areas in the City of Austin neighborhood-planning boundary dataset. Its status in the saved source is plan approved. Inclusion in this file does not by itself mean a neighborhood plan was adopted. Well-known districts such as South Congress, Rainey Street and the Sixth Street entertainment district are not separate areas in this dataset; they sit inside a planning area, or straddle two. The East Cesar Chavez boundary is a single polygon in the source file. The city last modified it on September 22, 2021.
Which ordinances are recorded for East Cesar Chavez?
City of Austin ordinance number 19990513-070 is recorded against this planning area in the city's Neighborhood Planning Areas dataset, with planning status plan approved.
How much construction is happening in East Cesar Chavez?
City of Austin Development Services has issued 3,646 building permits that it has geocoded inside the East Cesar Chavez planning-area boundary, the earliest dated May 7, 1979 and the most recent September 17, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $1,056,703,249. Declared value is the figure the applicant put on the permit application, not market value or finished cost. Counted from the city's Issued Construction Permits dataset (3syk-w9eu), building permits only, over every issue date in that dataset. The boundary test needs a mapped coordinate, and about one building permit in seven (13.8% as published on 2026-07-26) carries no location, so those rows cannot be placed in any neighbourhood and are not in this figure.
What ZIP codes cover East Cesar Chavez?
No ZIP code centroid falls inside the East Cesar Chavez boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78702, 78701, 78741, 78722, 78705. We match ZIP codes to planning areas by testing each ZIP's centroid against the boundary polygon, so a large ZIP can overlap an area without its centre landing inside it. Use the boundary, not the ZIP, as the authority.
