Apartments in front of the Swimming Hole on Lorimer? How about more them behind? How about more 10-20 unit buildings spread a throughout in-town neighborhoods?
Check out the below map.
All of the pink properties are up for discussion on something the planners are calling the "missing middle". That's planner jargon for building types between single family and super high density multi-family.
This discussion was sparked due to the concern around the high density projects proposed for the village area, and you can bet the Town will attempt to take credit for this proposed change as lowering density from some of the current zoning. That would be a stretch, a big stretch, because these new zoning changes still allow for up to 20 unit buildings. However, it is election season and elected officials take credit for all sorts of things if they think it can get them votes.
And...before you get your hopes up that this might stop something like the massive Potts Street development, don't get too excited. That project whose property is depicted on the map was submitted before this change and any subsequent changes to zoning rules would not apply to it.
The discussion on this will be at today's 4pm work session.
