Gateway is one of 65 named areas in the City of Austin Neighborhood Planning Areas boundary dataset. The saved source records its planning status as plan approved. These mapped categories differ from colloquial neighborhood names. Districts people name in conversation, like South Congress, Rainey Street or the Sixth Street entertainment district, are not separate areas in this dataset; they sit inside a planning area or straddle two. This boundary is a single polygon in the city's file, with ordinance 20071101-050 recorded in the source, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as GATEWAY.
Gateway’s story is closely tied to the North Burnet/Gateway planning framework. City documents describe a shift from auto-oriented development toward mixed uses, better connections and transit access; those are planning goals to compare against actual projects and conditions.

The city identifies pedestrian access, transit connections and a mix of uses as planning priorities. These goals explain the direction of the plan without proving that every block already offers those conditions.[2]
The city links both the master plan and regulating plan. The adopting ordinance provides historical context, while current city resources are the appropriate starting point for later changes.[2][3]
They are separate named areas in the site’s boundary dataset, connected by a shared North Burnet/Gateway planning framework. Use the relevant polygon for a local data comparison.[1][2]
No. Pedestrian and transit connectivity are stated planning priorities. The documents describe a vision rather than guaranteeing every present-day route or crossing.[2]

We could not place any Austin Public Health inspection from ZIP 78759, 78758, 78757, 78727, 78731 inside this boundary. We match by geocoded street address, so this means none we can place — not none that exist.

3 of 100 filers in ZIP 78759, 78758, 78757, 78727, 78731 placed inside this boundary. Each venue’s figure is its own gross receipts over its own filing months — there is deliberately no area total, because this is a sample, not a census.
Gateway 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 Gateway boundary is a single polygon in the source file. The city last modified it on September 22, 2021.
City of Austin ordinance number 20071101-050 is recorded against this planning area in the city's Neighborhood Planning Areas dataset, with planning status plan approved.
City of Austin Development Services has issued 1,106 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Gateway planning-area boundary, the earliest dated January 28, 1981 and the most recent September 22, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $341,060,149. 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.
No ZIP code centroid falls inside the Gateway boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78759, 78758, 78757, 78727, 78731. 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.
