Subject: PROPOSED COUNCIL-INITIATED ZONING CHANGES FOR PHASE
THREE OF THE FAR GREATER NORTHSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD
The May 4 City Council agenda will contain an M&C to initiate the zoning process for the
third 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
2010 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 Phases Two through Four of the Far Greater Northside
neighborhood was held on March 17, 2010, 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 in Phase Three 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.
