Zoning is the set of rules that control the allowed shape, density, and use of the property, and the goal of this update is to allow for and encourage the continued growth, redevelopment, and evolution of the district. Guided by community goals identified in prior planning efforts, zoning recommendations will focus on
- increasing housing,
- creating public spaces to build community, and
- supporting our diverse retail, cultural, and non-profit community.
