Title
An Ordinance to Amend Chapter 55 (Unified Development Code), Rezoning of 68 Lots in the South State Street and East/West Eisenhower Parkway Area to TC1 (Transit Corridor District), City-Initiated Rezoning, (CPC Recommendation: Approval - 8 Yeas and 0 Nays) (ORD-22-04)
Memorandum
Approval of this ordinance will rezone 68 lots in the South State and East/West Eisenhower area, including Boardwalk Drive and Victors Way, to TC1 (Transit Corridor District). A map of the proposed district is attached to the ordinance, along with a list of corresponding parcel identification numbers, addresses, and existing zoning designations. A map of the proposed district is also attached. This rezoning is pursuant to the directions and recommendations of the Planning Commission and City Council in Resolution R-20-439 (Legistar File 20-1676) to identify and consider geographic areas to apply the newly created TC1 zoning district, which was also directed and recommended in that same resolution.
* About the TC1 District: The TC1 district was created as a meaningful, achievable, and realistic way to simultaneously address a variety of different but related goals expressed in the eight documents that comprise the Comprehensive Plan, such as sustainability, access and choice in housing, housing affordability, reducing vehicle miles traveled, relieving vehicle congestion, supporting existing transit service, and supporting and expanding nonmotorized transportation. The TC1 district was adopted as an amendment to the Unified Development Code and became effective, or available for application, in July 2021 (Ordinance No. ORD-21-19). More background and information about establishing the TC1 district is available on the project website at https://www.a2gov.org/departments/planning/Pages/Proposed-Transit-Oriented-Zoning-District.aspx
