Public Hearing on Mixed-Use Centers

The Planning Commission will be holding a public hearing on the proposed Mixed-Use Centers Zoning and Regulations. A mixed-use center is an area planned for high density housing, commercial revitalization, pedestrian-friendly development, and frequent transit service. Sixteen mixed-used centers are involved in this review.

If you have thoughts about changes to zoning districts, height limits, parking requirements, landscaping, design, and development standards related to the mixed-use centers, let the Planning Commission know.
