R3 Multifamily Residential Zoning District Update
A City Council Goal for Fiscal Year 2020-21 was to improve the quantity, diversity, and affordability of housing by providing opportunities for subsidized middle-income and ownership housing. To help implement this goal, the City is updating the R3 (Multifamily Residential) zoning district development standards to consider incorporating form-based zoning standards, incentivizing stacked-flat development, and updating the City's Rowhouse Guidelines.
Here is a map of all R3 zoned properties citywide.
Project status
Next steps on the project include revising preliminary concepts to reflect community input received to date and hosting six neighborhood meeting workshops in 2022. These workshops will allow residents the opportunity to provide further input on potential R3 zoning changes. Dates and times have not been scheduled.
