The plan is based on community input from several months of public meetings; it addresses neighborhood character and development along 12th South from Wedgwood Avenue to I-440.  The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the plan during the July 24 regular meeting.

Amendments and Updates to the Community Plan

The Planning Commission approved the latest version of the Green Hills/Midtown Community Plan in July 2005.  All of our community plans are living documents; we're constantly working on updates, refinements, and clarifications.

The overall plan is presented below, along with several other plans which apply to specific areas inside the Green Hills/Midtown community.  Urban Design Overlays, or "UDOs,"  define a specific area and set design standards for its development.  Institutional Overlays provide development rules for specific areas, but, unlike UDOs, they work in cooperation with that area’s existing residential zoning
