MidtownMemphis.org Is Working to Prepare for New Zoning
The City’s Planning and Development Department (DPD) is updating Memphis 3.0 and the Unified Development Code (UDC) which is the zoning for the City. The Memphis 3.0 Comprehensive Plan is our City’s guide for future development. Adopted in 2019, the plan is undergoing a five years update to ensure the vision and priorities of the plan remain relevant to Memphis communities. The city is divided into fourteen planning districts and people will be invited to three workshops in each planning district beginning in August. Midtown is in the Core Planning District along with Downtown and the Medical District. According to DPD, the purpose of these workshops is to:
Review the current district priorities and suggest any needed changes.
Learn about update to future land use.
Understand how suggested changes could be applied to a city-wide comprehensive rezoning.
Each workshop builds upon the last, so attendance at all sessions is strongly encouraged.
MidtownMemphis.org has been meeting with neighborhood representatives from Rozelle-Annesdale, Glenview, Central Gardens, Annesdale Park, Volintine Evergreen, Evergreen, and more. Our goal is to help our neighbors understand the potential benefits and pitfalls of these proposed changes. While the workshops for Midtown will not be schedule until late 2024 and early 2025, we know that zoning can be difficult to understand and we need to use this time wisely.
Stay connected to the heartbeat of Midtown Memphis.
