Rezoning to new commercial zoning districts

With three exceptions, the City Council has directed staff to delay the rezoning of most commercial property to the proposed new zoning districts in order to allow the upcoming Strategic Planning process to inform the rezoning process. The exceptions involve parcels or areas that are fully or partially zoned to the B-3 Zoning District. Given that significant amendments are proposed to the B-3 Zoning District, the City is considering rezoning all land currently zoned B-3. The areas proposed for rezoning are:
