RESPOND TO ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER


LAND USE & BUILDING HEIGHT



INTRODUCTION

· Focus on WHAT changes you would like to consider.

· All land use & buildings height changes involve a careful, set City process, so there will be ample opportunities to review our changes in further detail.

· Height changes are relatively easy.

· Land use changes (e.g., L2- to NC1) are more complicated.

· Rezoning SF zones would require a change to City policy & impossible to do at this date..



ASPIRATIONS

· More commercial uses... but avoid vacant storefront.

· Cluster pedestrian activity around nodes.

· Take advantage of underdeveloped / opportunity sites.

· Protect existing single family homes & ‘character.’



NE 85TH ST RESULTS FROM WORKSHOP #2

· Prefer 5-stories (3.6 out of 5)

· Neutral rating for 6-stories (3.1 out of 5)

· Dislike what is currently allowed (2.8 out of 5)
