3 issues in zoning with high priority
Downtown Zoning Flexibility
The city is weighing whether to ban new gas stations and convenience stores with fuel pumps in the historic downtown area to protect local buildings from being torn down. While proponents argue this preserves the downtown vibe and historic feel, critics worry about limiting property rights and picking winners and losers among businesses.
Cross Hollow Road Mixed-Use Zone Change
Developers are adjusting zoning boundaries along West Cross Hollow Road to match their master plan, allowing for a mix of residential and commercial spaces near major retailers like Walmart and Home Depot.
Residential Driveway Regulations
Residents are frustrated by the 34-foot driveway limit, which makes it hard to park modern vehicles or access detached garages. The city is considering a 50-foot limit to better fit current housing needs.
