Planning director previews downtown zoning rewrite and 13 new uses
Summary
City planning staff told the commission it will propose 13 new uses to the zoning use table citywide and a later downtown zoning standards package covering building form, parking and landscaping; the changes will require property owner notice under standard rezoning rules.
The Planning Director told the Planning and Zoning Commission that staff plans a two‑part downtown zoning effort: first, amendments to the zoning use table adding 13 new uses citywide; second, a downtown zoning standards package addressing building form, parking and landscaping.
"We are proposing 13 new uses to our zoning table citywide," the Planning Director said, and noted the team may present the 13‑use package first because downtown zoning standards require more complex noticing. Staff explained that rezoning triggers a property‑owner notice requirement for owners within 200 feet of affected parcels and said the downtown district boundaries will not expand beyond the current historic district footprint.
Planning staff said the use‑table changes and standards will be brought to commission in stages, with anticipated presentations in September and October, and that developers and property owners should expect formal public notices for affected parcels.
