The Zoning Task Force (appointed by the Decatur City Commission) has been busy studying the recommendations of the 2010 Strategic Plan that relate to sustainable development, alternative transportation, enhancing the commercial tax base, housing options, and becoming an aging in place or lifelong community.
Now they are seeking public input to review their work to date and provide your thoughts and ideas. Drop in to the open house on Wednesday, March 14 between 6 p.m. & 8 p.m. The open house will focus on the following: parking requirements and the creation of a parking district, accessory buildings & dwellings requirements, expansion of the special pedestrian area, expansion of urban gardening opportunities, and the creation of light manufacturing & artisanal uses.
This is the first of many public input sessions to be held throughout the year as the work continues. For more information contact Planning Director Amanda Thompson, amanda.thompson@decaturga.com.
