SUBJECT: Proposed Council-Initiated Zoning Changes for a
Portion of the East Berry Street Corridor
The June 2, 2009 City Council agenda will contain an M&C to initiate the zoning process for a
portion of the East Berry Street corridor, which contains part of the Berry/Riverside Urban Village.
The purpose of the proposed zoning changes is to i•ezone residential and non-residential property to
zoning classifications that reflect the prevailing land use and land use policies. For your reference,
the attached PowerPoint presentation shows the future land use from the 2009 Comprehensive Plan,
the current zoning, and the proposed zoning. Council Member Hicks would like to initiate rezoning
of these areas in response to neighborhood concerns.
An informational meeting for the East Berry Street corridor was held on May 7, 2009, which was
attended by area property owners and staff. At this meeting, the property owners expressed support
for the proposed zoning changes. One person in opposition has been noted to date.
Public hearings for the rezoning of these properties will be held by the Zoning Commission on July 8,
2009 and by the City Council on August 4, 2009.
If you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Deputy Planning and Development
Director, at 817-392-8018.
