Neighborhood Character Study
| | Mike Brilliott presented the Neighborhood Character Study that was developed by ARG (consultants) and provides recommendations for perserving the character of the University Neighborhoods. The study recommends reducing landuse designation of contextural properties in the General plan to lower density. The document does not define boundaries for these landuse reductions.
|
| | Ken Podgorsek suggested that we look at the historic zoning (from 1929). We need stronger controls to discourage developers from removing historical structures.
|
| | Mike stated that this document is a start to provide stronger controls. The study does not recomending downgrading non-contextural structures (50's boxes, etc), to encourage redevelopment of these parcels. He suggested that we accept the study and add it as an attachement to the SNI Report.
