SUBJECT: PROPOSED COUNCIL-INITIATED ZONING CHANGES TO CREATE
STOP SIX DESIGN DISTRICT FOR SINGLE FAMILY DEVELOPMENT
IN COUNCIL DISTRICT 5
th
The June 4 City Council agenda will contain a resolution to initiate a zoning change to
create a design overlay district for single family development in the Stop Six neighborhood,
as depicted on the attached map. On March 19, the City Council approved a resolution to
apply single family design standards to projects receiving Neighborhood Empowerment
Zone (NEZ) incentives in this area. Council Member Bivens has requested the proposed
design district to apply design standards to all single family projects, and not just those
receiving NEZ incentives. The proposed design standards are attached.
Public hearings for the design district would be held as follows:
Urban Design Commission June 20, 2019
Zoning Commission July 10
City Council August 6
If you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Assistant Planning and
Development Director, at 817-392-8018.
