Memorandum
Approval of this resolution will amend the Zoning Map to change the designation of 45 parcels in the Plymouth Road area to TC1 (Transit Corridor District) and designate certain lengths of Plymouth Road as Transit Corridor Street Type.

City Council, by resolution R-23-186 passed on June 5, 2023, asked this work be prioritized.
