Medium/High Density Residential and Mixed Use
We are currently experiencing technical difficulty with documents and images on the site. Thank you for your patience. If you need assistance with documents or images, please contact Dan Emerine.
What Did It Cover?
The primary focus of the Medium-High Density Working Group was the District’s zoning regulations that govern areas of the District designated as Medium or High Density Residential, or Mixed Use of the same densities, on the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map. Excluded from this analysis will be 1) those sections of the Central Employment Area that have been dealt with in the Downtown Working Group, and 2) areas that are designated as Commercial or Mixed Use and are along the District’s commercial corridors – these were mainly dealt with through the Commercial Corridors Working Group. OP coordinated the efforts of these two Working Groups to handle overlapping issues.
