SUBJECT: PROPOSED COUNCIL-INITIATED ZONING CHANGES FOR THE
OAKRIDGE TERRACE NEIGHBORHOOD
The April 3 City Council agenda will contain an M&C to initiate the zoning process for the
Oakridge Terrace 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 2012 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 Oakridge Terrace neighborhood was held on March 1,
2012, 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 May 9, 2012, and by the City Council on June 5, 2012.
If you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Deputy Planning and
Development Director, at 817-392-8018.
