STAFF REPORT:
As part of the Downtown Neighborhoods Plan effort, the
future land use plan was examined. The committee generally
felt comfortable with the recommended development pattern.
The major concern was how the area would develop. The
design, massing etc. is considered to be very important.
The Committee wishes to assure that any new development is
designed and sited so as to complement and fit the existing

neighborhood. The Committee did have two land use concerns.
The first is that existing single family areas not be
converted to multifamily. (This does not mean that some
densification would be inappropriate.) Addition of
accessory residential units and some conversion is
considered appropriate. However, the conversion of a city
block from single family to high density multifamily is not
appropriate. The other land use concern is the desire to
allow residents to start businesses in their homes whether
home occupations or "cottage industry" types of use.
Flexibility and allowing maximum use of current and future
technology advances should be encouraged.
The area in question is currently zoned and used for
commercial purposes. The structures are of a commercial
design. There is no question that the street is full of
businesses not homes.
