Options for Land Use and/or Zoning Changes in the North Main Street Charrette Area (B)
Explanation
On May 17, 2012, the City Commission referred this item to the Community Development Committee for review of options for land use and zoning changes in the North Main Street Charrette area.
The Planning & Development Services Department held a charrette on February 15, 2011 to allow residents and businesses in the North Main Street area, along with other interested parties, to voice their recommendations and concerns regarding the charrette area. The North Main Street Charrette Area is bounded on the east by Northeast 2nd Street, on the north by North 23rd Avenue, and on the south by North 8th Avenue.

The five areas are located north of NW/NE 8th Avenue, west of NE 2nd Street, south of NW 16th Avenue, and east of NW 6th Street. The areas are labeled as:
