Case Number: C20-2024-024 Area Plan Process Amendment
This proposed Code amendment is to establish area plans, including station area vision plans, regulations, and amendment process for geographically focused land use plans, that do not already have a defined process to:
§ Prepare for continued transition to new plan types,
§ Clarify amendment process and criteria,
§ Provide a path for property owners to initiate changes,
§ Ensure adequate public notice, and
§ Ensure consistent processes.
As directed by Council, staff has been working to develop ETOD station area vision plans for the North Lamar and South Congress Transit Center station areas and will be bringing forward those proposed plans for Council consideration by April 24, 2025. The proposed ETOD station area vision plans are parcel-specific character district-based future land use maps consistent with this Code amendment.
