Dear City Commission:
Recently, several hundred residents both from within and outside of the NCOD participated in
a basic survey organized by the Inter-Neighborhood Council (INC) to gauge interest inenacting an Interim Zoning Ordinance (IZO). 428 residents responded to the survey, with 83%
supporting that the City Commission consider an IZO for one year while NCOD guidelines areupdated.
A local government may adopt an IZO as “an urgency measure to regulate or prohibit uses that
may conflict with a zoning proposal that the governing body is considering." NCODguidelines are about to undergo an overhaul. I support the City Commission adopting an IZO
to temporarily prohibit demolitions and new large developments (e.g., over 20,000 sq ft)within the NCOD until the update is complete and until the City is able to hire a new Historic
Preservation Officer.
Thank you for considering this request.
