R3 Change Areas

The next step for this process is to receive feedback from the City Council on potential areas to increase density in the R3 Zoning District, consistent with Goal 5 above. 14 “Change Areas” have been identified consistent with the Council goal to focus on large parcel areas.

A map of the draft “Change Areas” can be found below, under “Places”. The map also shows “transition areas,” portions of parcels where building size would be limited near R1, R2 and mobile homes.

April 9, 2024 Council Direction
At their April 9, 2024 meeting, the City Council endorsed a framework of increased densities for targeted properties within “Change Areas” that could include the following heights and densities:

*State or Local Density Bonus could be utilized and enable additional height with a waiver.

In addition, the City Council also endorsed a series of criteria for how to choose parcels that may be suitable for higher densities. These maps provide an overview of how the draft “Change Areas” meet or do not meet the given criteria.

Upcoming City Council Discussion
At their upcoming meeting, the City Council will provide direction on whether to allow the R3-D1 or R3-D2 heights and densities in the “Change Areas”. Your feedback in the sections below can help inform that discussion.

In the sections below, provide comments about the draft “Change Areas” based on previous Council direction, where you think other R3 “Change Areas” should be considered, or other comments regarding heights or densities in these areas. Under “Map Comment Tools” you can provide your comments directly to a map. Under "General Comments" you can provide comments outside the map. Or use the links below.
