  • Promote a sense of community and livability
  • Support the City's sustainability goals
  • Address safety concerns

The purpose of this forum is to present information on:

  • The proposed land use district location changes for Community Commercial and Moderate Commercial

Participants will have the chance to review and comment on the latest proposals regarding residential compatibility. Each event will address different topics within the same project. Those who would like to attend can drop in any time between 4:30PM and 7PM

Last year, we discussed issues regarding making new development and existing development more compatible with each other and weighed alternative ways to address those issues. Now it is time to develop a preferred approach to addressing each of the following issues:

  • Height and bulk of new homes
  • Transitions (between single-family homes and more intense uses such as commercial uses, apartments or condominiums)
  • Flag lots (homes built behind other homes)
  • Buffers and screening between developments
  • How small-lot subdivisions are reviewed
  • Quality/appearance of fences along streets
