Next phase of the Residential Infill Project is honing the direction from the adopted Concept Report into specific code and mapping changes needed to implement the concepts.
Published

With City Council’s adoption of the Concept Report in December 2016 the next phase of the Residential Infill Project has begun: the process of honing the direction from the adopted Concept Report into specific code and mapping changes needed to implement the concepts.

Visit the project website to see Council's Final Concept Report as well as a Summary of Council’s Adopted Concepts. Both of these documents have incorporated the Council’s amendments. A Matrix of Council’s Amendments, arranged by topic area, has been prepared by staff. Additional information about the amendments can also be found in the blog published on December 13.

Next Steps

As part of revising the concepts to proposed code and map changes, staff will be identifying areas where additional research and testing may be needed and developing a methodology to assess potential mapping boundary refinements. The public will have an opportunity to review draft code changes and map amendments this summer before the Planning and Sustainability Commission and City Council start their public hearings this fall/winter. Stay tuned for more information on the timeline and upcoming ways to participate in the project.
