NEW! A2D2 Zoning and Design Guideline Code Changes
Zoning and Design Amendments
Resolutions R-07-494 and R-07-495, approved by City Council in October 2007, call for the City Planning Commission to draft new downtown zoning districts and regulations and implement downtown design guidelines, based on recommendations provided by the A2D2 advisory committees.
From January to April 2008, City staff and the Planning Commission developed code and map amendments to implement the A2D2 recommendations. The draft amendments are posted on the Proposed Code Changes page.
Opportunities for review and comment on the proposed amendments were provided at throughout May 2008 at public open houses, a public hearing and individual meetings with staff.
On May 20, 2008, the City Planning Commission tabled action on the proposed amendments to allow consideration of the comments. A link to the staff report is provided below.
The A2D2 Steering Committee is currently reviewing refinements to the proposal. Check www.a2gov.org/a2d2 for updates.
Downtown Plan Amendments
Resolutions R-07-494 and R-07-495, also call for the City Planning Commission to initiate supporting amendments to the Downtown Plan to implement the A2D2 zoning and design guidelines recommendations.
The Planning Commission's Master Plan Review Committee met four times between January and April 2008 to create updates to the Downtown Plan. A link to the draft plan is provided below.
A first step in the master plan amendment process is distribution of the plan for public comment. City Council recommended distribution of the plan on May 5, 2008.
Once comments have been received and reviewed, a public hearing will be scheduled at the Planning Commission. This public hearing is tentatively targeted for August 2008.
