Townhomes – Can the Patient be Saved?
Sponsored by Councilmember Sally J. Clark
Have you noticed townhomes propagating in your neighborhood? Not thrilled with much of what you see? Curious why this happens? If you're like me, you answered "yes" to each of those questions. So, in my ongoing effort to take the Planning, Land Use & Neighborhoods Committee (PLUNC) into the neighborhoods once a quarter, on June 7, 2008, I sponsored "Townhomes – Can the Patient be Saved?"
The morning started with a few examples of the good, the OK and the fatally wounded. Then we heard from a panel of developers, neighborhoods activists, architects and planners with suggestions and ideas for remedies. We had time for questions and comments from the attendees.
I anticipate that PLUNC will receive the Mayor's proposed changes to the City's Multi-Family Code sometime this spring. Townhomes are just one issue among many that will be addressed in those changes.
