Amendments & Rezoning
Since 2000, the Comp. Plan has
incorporated multi-family residential
designation changes 10 times.
„ Since 2000, 18 projects have been
rezoned to multi-family residential.
„ The most effective method for
regulating multi-family residential
growth is by remaining
committed to the adopted
Comprehensive Plan, Zoning
Code, and Design Standards.

Security and Crime Prevention (CPTED):
„
„
„
„
„
Territorial Enforcement—features that define property
lines and distinguish private spaces from public spaces
using landscape plantings, pavement designs, gateway
treatments
Natural Surveillance—keeping intruders easily
observable using features that maximize visibility of
people, parking areas and building entrances
Access Control—designing streets, sidewalks, building
entrances and neighborhood gateways to clearly
indicate public routes and discouraging access to
private areas with structural elements
Activity Support—placing new or existing activities in
an area so that individuals engaged in a particular
activity become part of the natural surveillance of
other areas
Maintenance—preserving properties to facilitate the
principles of CPTED
