4 issues in zoning
Group Day Facility Land Use Code Amendment
A 2021 code update accidentally dropped day facilities serving vulnerable residents, leaving the code silent on a use the city wants. The fix uses conditional zoning so council and neighborhoods weigh in case by case, but a new three-strikes enforcement rule drew objections and the ordinance heads back to council November 17.
5000 Market Street rezone
A 3.1-acre portion of a 6.3-acre parcel at 5000 Market Street would be rezoned from Commercial Services to Regional Business.
Projecting Signs in Multi-Family Districts
A code amendment would allow projecting signs in MD-10 and MD-17 residential zoning districts.
Eastwood Road rezone
A 0.514-acre portion of a 1.26-acre parcel on Eastwood Road would be rezoned from R-15 residential to Office & Institutional.
