Land Use Vision of the Neighborhood

Issue: Communities shape land use patterns through adopted land use plansand implement them through zoning code. The vision of the Tenney-Lapham/OldMarket Place Neighborhood is to preserve the existing character of the neighborhood. However, the current zoning classifications would allow for, in many cases: 1) the division of existing single-family homes to smaller apartment units; 2) the conversion of existing apartments to more units; and, in somecases, 3) the construction of larger multi-family apartment complexes inprimarily single-family and two-family areas.
