Title
Commissioner Gigi Simmons - Residential Conservation and Downtown Zoning Designations (B)
Explanation
The Residential Conservation and Downtown zoning designations are generally not compatible. Properties zoned Residential Conservation should not typically be next to or across from properties zoned Downtown. However, along the east and south sides of the Pleasant Street Neighborhood, property zoned Residential Conservation abuts property zoned Downtown.
Recommendation:
The City Commission directs the City Manager to initiate petitions to change the future land use designation and the zoning designation of land on the east and south sides of the Pleasant Street Neighborhood to provide an appropriate transition of different zoning designations from the neighborhood to land along University Avenue and Main Street with the Downtown zoning designation.
As part of this process, please do the following:
1. Meet with the Pleasant Street Neighborhood Association. Dotty Faibisy can provide information on meeting times and locations. Ms. Faibisy's email address is dottyfaibisy@aol.com.
2. Schedule Plan Board consideration of these petitions by December 2018.
3. Schedule the first City Commission consideration of these petitions by January 2019.
