Board backs comp‑plan table edits to align land use and zoning, enabling nonprofit use in some areas
Summary
The board recommended City Commission adopt text amendments to the comprehensive plan’s future land use table to reflect existing neighborhood commercial and single‑family zoning pairings; staff said the changes will resolve mismatches and permit conforming nonprofit uses such as Arms of Hope in affected neighborhoods.
City staff presented city‑initiated text amendments to the comprehensive plan (Table 1) designed to align the future land use table with existing zoning in several parts of the city, including areas near the Osborne community. The changes would incorporate the neighborhood commercial zoning district into an artisanal mixed‑use designation and add the single‑family residential zoning district into the medium‑density residential land‑use designation where appropriate.
Staff emphasized the amendments do not rezone property or alter the future land use map itself; instead they amend the comp‑plan’s table so the two regulatory documents match and permit nonprofit uses (for example, Arms of Hope) to be conforming when appropriate. After limited questions about map colors and affected blocks, a board member moved and the board voted to recommend the ordinance text amendments to the City Commission.
