Revised Drafts & Public Hearing Update

City staff is pleased to share the revised drafts of the proposed overlay districts known as the South 40 Overlay and the Big Bend Overlay. The revisions reflect changes made to address comments and concerns gathered of the last year. To review the redline versions of the draft regulations, please look under the “Documents” tab on this website. The redline versions show what has changed from the original drafts posted last March. To further assist with understanding what has changed as well as to provide additional information related to questions the City has received, we have also published a document titled, Introduction to the Proposed Overlay Districts and Revisions. This document includes four summary tables to help organize information about the current regulations and the proposed regulations.
