Advisory board asks commission to limit land‑use amendment to rezoning footprints
Summary
The Central City CRA advisory board voted 5–3 to ask the city commission to apply the proposed land‑use plan amendment only to the specific areas proposed for rezoning, not to the entire CRA area, over concerns about unintended residential changes outside the rezoning footprints.
Board members debated a proposed land‑use plan amendment that staff described as covering the entire CRA versus a more limited rezoning footprint. Several members said they believed prior discussions and votes had been limited to commercial corridors and specific rezoning parcels, and they opposed applying the amendment to broad residential areas that could enable larger building heights or different uses.
A board member moved that the board communicate to the commission its recommendation to accept the land‑use amendment only for the parcels identified for rezoning (not the entire CRA). The motion carried on a roll call vote with five members in favor and three opposed. The board’s communication will go to the commission ahead of the July meeting.
