r Subject: PROPOSED COUNCIL-INITIATED ZONING CHANGES FOR PHASE
ONE OF THE POLYTECHNIC HEIGHTS AREA NEIGHBORHOOD
The May I 1 City Council agenda will contain an M&C to initiate the zoning process for the first
phase of the Polytechnic area neighborhood. This portion of the Polytechnic Heights area
neighborhood is within Council District 5. 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 2010 Comprehensive Plan,the current zoning, and the proposed zoning.
Council Member Moss would like to initiate rezoning of these areas in response to neighborhood
concerns.
An informational meeting for the Polytechnic Heights neighborhood was held on April 22, 2010,
which was attended by area property owners and staff. At this meeting, the property owners
expressed support for the proposed zoning changes. No one in opposition has been noted to date.
Public hearings for the rezoning of these properties would be held by the Zoning Commission on
June 9, 2010, and by the City Council on July 13, 2010.
If you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Deputy Planning and Development
Director, at 817-392-8018.
