As we’ve been reporting, the City Council is reviewing the next phase of upzoning, the “Centers and Corridors” proposal. Mayor Katie Wilson says she wants upzoning to go further than currently outlined – “taller, denser, faster” – but that would start with Phase 3, while what’s before the council now is Phase 2. Whatever your opinion, tomorrow (Monday, April 6) is the next major all-day hearing, and you can comment in person or remotely. Here’s the council’s reminder with the basics on how to participate:
The Select Committee on the Comprehensive Plan, chaired by Councilmember Eddie Lin (District 2), will host the first public hearing for Phase 2 of the Comprehensive Plan on Monday, April 6, with separate sessions for remote and in-person public comment.
*Remote public comment will be at 9:30 a.m. Registration to provide remote public comment will be open from 8:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. The hearing will continue until all signups have had the opportunity to speak.
*In-person public comment will begin at 3 p.m. In-person public commenters can sign up outside of the Council Chamber from 2:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. The hearing will continue until all signups have had the chance to speak.
More information can be found on the agenda for the April 6 Comp Plan Public Hearing. Additional information can be found on the City Council’s Comprehensive Plan webpage.
