It was recently discovered that the Design Guidelines were not brought back to the Redevelopment Commission for a confirming resolution; in an effort to correct this oversight, Confirming Resolution 2901 will incorporate the Design Guidelines into the NNDA Plan. The original Design Guidelines were developed in 2004 then during 2008-2009 the Northeast Neighborhood Revitalization Organization (NNRO) and neighborhood residents worked to update the Design Guidelines for incorporation into the NNDA Plan. Know that the Design Guidelines are the basis for the NNDA Overlay Zoning District which is currently in the process of being incorporated into the Zoning Ordinance. A copy of the Design Guidelines have been provided for your review. A representative of the NNRO and I will be available to answer any questions you may have at the upcoming meeting.
