Zoning changes are coming to properties in the
Mt. Tabor Neighborhood.
These changes are happening as part of the
Comprehensive Plan process, and the Mt. Tabor Neighborhood Association is
hosting a presentation for Mt. Tabor neighbors, by a staffer with the Bureau of
Planning and Sustainability.
Thursday, November 19
7:00 – 8:30 pm
basement dining hall of the Presbyterian Church at the corner of SE
55th and Belmont
(use the main entrance off Belmont)
At this meeting…
Staffers will lay out how each of the following
two Comp Plan projects will change zoning in our area:
·
We’ll see a map of the properties where the Comp Plan "Designation"
doesn't match the site's zoning, and we’ll learn how the zoning will be changed
so that the two parts match up. Click here for a sneak peak at this map.
·
We’ll learn the metrics by which the City will make zoning-up and zoning-down
decisions, as they make the "Designations" and zoning match.
The staffers will take feedback on these metrics, and suggestions for new
metrics.
·
There will be time for Q & A, and you will leave with instructions on how
to provide feedback to the City about these changes.
The Mixed Use Zoning
Project –
·
These changes are especially relevant to SE 50th
Avenue, as they are relevant to any lot currently zoned anything that starts
with a “C” (or, Commercial). (That would include CS, CN, CO, and CG in
the neighborhood.)
·
We’ll learn the new names for “Commercial” zones, and how trimming down the
number of Commercial zones will impact what is allowed in each of the remaining
Commercial zones.
·
We should hear specific examples of how these changes will effect SE 50th Ave.
·
There will be time for Q & A, and you will leave with instructions on how
to provide feedback to the City about these changes.
