Summary

The commission voted to adopt ordinance 14-20-26, creating a T6 Lakeview Business District to enable mixed uses, a broader range of housing and redevelopment along the Beckley Road corridor.

The City Commission voted July 21 to adopt ordinance 14-20-26, amending zoning code chapters to establish a T6 Lakeview Business District. City staff described the change as intended to allow more housing types and commercial uses, reduce nonconforming uses and promote reinvestment along the Beckley Road corridor.

The clerk summarized that the amendments would advance Lakeview subplan goals including placemaking, green infrastructure and reduced automobile dependence, while supporting new housing and property tax revenue. Commissioners voted to adopt the ordinance after no substantive comments were offered.

The ordinance takes effect as adopted and is intended to enable redevelopment of underused sites such as big-box parking areas and to broaden allowable uses in the Lakeview area.
