Preserve Our Historic Neighborhoods
The Mayor threatens to snatch back our planning year!
The new Land code is the Legal basis for zoning until 2050
The "No Changes" is totally changed.
The Urban Residential Preservation category has been completely rewritten.
- Neighborhoods have to meet "stability criteria" of home ownership to qualify.
- Relatively safe internal pedestrian mobility is another criteria
- Planned unit developments within the neighborhoods are allowed.
- Relatively safe internal pedestrian mobility
- Objective 2.8 – Community Context allows access to infrastructure, roadway classification and proximity to employment centers, universities and schools to be the basis for planning and land use. That substantially includes all of the downtown neighborhoods. Why has this been added?
- There are 20% density bonuses for developers - did you hear about this?
- Community facilities and recreational facilities are permitted. That includes private as well as city facilities. This terminology must be clarified.
- Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) should be addressed in the plan and are not. ADUs can be built and, once constructed request a variance allowing the ADU to become a separate housing unit. This will double the density unless the comp plan clarifies the language.
- The proposed Comp Plan does not required builders to plan for parking. For downtown residents, we know the challenges currently faced. Imagine as Tallahassee grows, what will result if developers don't have to provide parking
