SUBJECT: Proposed Council- Initiated Zoning Changes for a Portion of the
Scenic Bluff Neighborhood
The July 14, 2009 City Council agenda will contain an M &C to initiate the zoning process for a
portion of the Scenic Bluff 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 Comprehensive Plan 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 Espino would like to initiate rezoning of these areas in response to
neighborhood concerns.
An informational meeting for the Scenic Bluff neighborhood was held on May 28, 2009 which was
attended by area property owners and staff. At this meeting, the property owners expressed support
for the proposed zoning changes. No opposition has been noted to date.
Public hearings for the rezoning of these properties would be held by the Zoning Commission on
August 14, 2009 and by the City Council on September 1, 2009.
If you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Deputy Planning and Development
Director, at 817- 392 -8018.
