The zoning change, if approved, would change how some parcels could be used.    The size of allowable buildings would increase on most parcels, up to a maximum of 10 stories, typically, however, 4-7 stories are built. There is no development being proposed at this time.  Environmental zones for the bluff would remain.  The HEARING NOTICE provides background information and outlines how to submit testimony.  Here's the meeting Zoom link.
