The Mayor’s Office has transmitted proposed zoning changes and development standards for Lake City to City Council. These rezones, which do not include height increases, would:
- Change Commercial 1 zoning to Neighborhood Commercial 3 zoning within the hub urban village and along Lake City Way between NE 97th Street and NE 143rd Street
- Change multifamily residential zoning to neighborhood commercial zoning along NE 125th Street
- Expand the existing pedestrian designation approximately three blocks to the west and one block to the north, requiring active street-level uses
- Allow more flexibility for ground floor uses outside of the business core
- Create new development standards that will control building bulk on large lots
City Council will hold a public hearing about these proposed zoning changes, along with the Bitter Lake zoning changes, early this summer.
