Community Workshop #2: Testing - Exploring Opportunities

Utilizing information obtained from the public input sessions, the realtors and Developers roundtable meeting, and Community Workshop 1, the project team prepared two regulating plan scenarios.

The scenarios and their components will collapse the entire length of the study area into two smaller geographic areas consisting of "South" and "North" to develop new zoning regulations. Those in attendance reviewed, commented and voted on specific elements for two regulating plans. The results of the polling was summarized in a document and participants of this workshop received an overview of the survey data collected. The survey results was grouped into major recurring themes that may be developed into a final list of recommendations for the revitalization plan.
