SUBJECT: PROPOSED COUNCIL-INITIATED ZONING CHANGES FOR PHASE
ONE OF THE FAR GREATER NORTHSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD
The December 15 City Council agenda will contain an M&C to initiate the zoning process for the
first phase of the Far Greater Northside neighborhood. The purpose of the proposed zoning changes
is to rezone residential and non-residential property to zoning classifications that reflect the
prevailing land use and appropriate 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 Espino would like to initiate rezoning of these areas in
response to neighborhood concerns.
An informational meeting for the Far Greater Northside neighborhood was held on November 16,
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 would be held by the Zoning Commission on
January 13, 2010, and by the City Council on February 2, 2010.
If you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Deputy Planning and Development
Director, at 817-392-8018. ,,
