Green Hills/Midtown Community Plan (Subarea 10)
12th Ave. South plan will shape development
The Planning Commission unanimously approved the 12th Avenue South Detailed Neighborhood Design Plan on July 24, 2008; that plan will guide future zone changes and subdivision requests along 12th South from Wedgwood Avenue to I-440. The 12th South DNDP is part of the Green Hills/Midtown Community Plan.
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
