During the October 28, 2025 City Council Meeting, the Council received an update on the Opportunity Study Area (OSA) planning effort. The presentation was provided by PlaceWorks, the consultant working with staff on the project. The OSA framework establishes a coordinated Planning and Economic Development strategy to guide reinvestment, improve infrastructure, and attract new private investment within key underutilized areas of the City. In partnership with PlaceWorks, staff identified three overlay zones: the Community Core (Mixed-Use); the Innovation & Enterprise; and the Workshop, Studio, & Entertainment Overlay Zones. Together, these zoning overlays provide a flexible regulatory structure that aligns land use planning with the City’s broader economic and fiscal sustainability goals. Each overlay responds to current market conditions and leverages the City’s economic analysis to support compatible, high-quality development.
