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 in enacting 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 are updated.
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." NCOD guidelines 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 30,000 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 your consideration,
Sandra Roe
