Topic: feedback on Minneapolis 2020 plan
Time: 7-9 pm
Location: St Francis Cabrini Church 1500 East Franklin Ave
Per Cam,
"The draft of interdependent policies, topics, actions steps and maps
intended to help guide how we will manage grow and change over the next two
decades so all residents benefit. In the draft report, policies are
organized under 14 goals the City Council adopted in 2017, and also under
10 topic areas. Among its many notable recommendation, it calls for changes
to traditional land use and zoning practices that would allow a greater
diversity and density of housing in all neighborhoods, including
small-scale multi-family buildings throughout Ward 2 residential areas,
with small 1-4 unit building allowed on traditional sized lots and 1 to 2.5
story multifamily buildings above 4 units on a limited number of combined
lots, and larger, taller apartments allowed on transit corridors and near
stations. The proposal also recommends elimination of minimum off-street
parking requirements citywide, creates four new categories of commercial
uses and prohibits new heavy industrial uses while preserving land for
quality living-wage production and processing jobs. Comments will be
collected at public meetings as well as online through July 22, 2018."
