Change zoning rules for Northshore area to preserve open space and agriculture
In Plain English
The city wants to rezone the Northshore area to allow only parks, farms, and public buildings instead of housing or commercial development. This change would permanently protect the area from dense development. The council also plans to pass an emergency rule in February to immediately block any conflicting projects while the rezoning process continues.
