Proposed New Zoning District

The draft amendments propose establishing a new "Activity Center Zoning District" that any property within an activity center (as shown on this map) could request to rezone to. It does not propose the city proactively rezoning properties.

A rezoning request to this new proposed zoning district would require a Unified Development Plan which has a unique set of submission requirements that ensure enough information is provided by the applicant to allow proper review per the standards proposed in the Activity Center Zoning District. 

As a part of their rezoning application, an applicant could request "Alternative Compliance" which is a process  proposed to accommodate deviations from the standards of the new zoning district. Currently, alternative compliance standards are proposed in the draft for parking and frontages, but could be expanded to other standards as well.
