SUBJECT: Proposed Council - Initiated Zoning Changes for the Echo Heights
Neighborhood
The August 4 City Council agenda will contain an M &C to initiate the zoning process for the Echo
Heights 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 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 Moss would
like to initiate rezoning of these areas in response to neighborhood concerns.
An informational meeting for the Echo Heights neighborhood was held on June 18, 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
September 9 and by the City Council on October 13.
