On March 25, 2025, staff received feedback from the City Council on potential areas to increase density in the R3 Zoning District, consistent with Goal 5 above.

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:

	R3-D1 Height: 4 stories* Density: approx. 50-75 units per acre
	R3-D2 Height: 6 stories* Density: approx. 75-110 units per acre

*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.
