BACKGROUND:
At the February 4, 2025, City Council meeting, Councilman Roman requested information on a potential zoning overlay for the eastern portion of District 1. This area includes the Valwood Park residential neighborhood, which was developed in multiple phases beginning in the 1950s. A memorandum outlining existing zoning regulations and potential overlay options was provided to the City Council for review in May 2025.

This agenda item provides an opportunity for continued discussion on strategies to preserve neighborhood character and prevent resident displacement.
