Information from the 3/25 meeting  

The city's Future Land Use Plan (FLUP) identifies the portion of Oleander Drive between Pine Grove Drive and 51st Street as an area suitable for transition from single-family residential to commercial or higher-density residential uses. Along this portion of Oleander Drive, an increase in the number of vehicle lanes and the increase in traffic have eroded the single-family character. Consequently, these properties have become less desirable for single-family uses. In order to appropriately prepare for the transition of these parcels, the FLUP calls for the development of a "transition zoning district" that provides more options for the appropriate intensity of development.
 

Planning staff has initiated the development of a new zoning district that would address the unique circumstances of the Oleander Drive transition area. The planning process will involve residents and property owners in the creation of zoning regulations that are appropriate for this area. The new district would allow for an appropriate transition between residential and nonresidential areas and foster a desirable pattern of mixed uses in this area.
