SUBJECT: Proposed Council - Initiated Zoning Changes for the
Fairhaven Neighborhood
The August 5 City Council agenda will contain an M&C to initiate the zoning process for the
Fairhaven neighborhood that lies east of Edgewood Terrace, south of Eastland Street, west
of Carey Street, and north of Wilbarger Street. The purpose of the proposed zoning
changes is to rezone single family residential property to zoning classifications that reflect
the future land use plan and prevailing lot sizes. For your reference, the attached
PowerPoint presentation shows the future land use from the 2008 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 Fairhaven neighborhood was held on July 10, 2008, which
was attended by area residents and staff. At this meeting, the residents expressed support
for the proposed zoning changes. No opposition has been noted to date.
The public hearings for the rezoning of these properties would be held on September 10,
2008, at the Zoning Commission meeting and at the City Council meeting of October 14.
If you have any questions, please contact Dana Burghdoff, Deputy Planning and
Development Director, at 817 - 392 -8018.
