What’s at Stake with Memphis 3.0 / Rezoning

The proposed rezoning to align with the Memphis 3.0 plan would significantly change zoning across Memphis, including the termination of  most traditional single-family established neighborhoods. The presentation, “Memphis 3.0 / Rezoning: Issues and Solutions,” examines the potential impact of the proposed rezoning, including increased multifamily development and the removal of residential corridor protections, and outlines a reasonable path forward that balances diverse housing choices with neighborhood stability and a fair process for property owners. [Read the full presentation to learn what’s proposed, what’s at stake, and how residents can prepare and make their voices heard.]

Proposed Compromise for Memphis 3.0

Let’s talk about it

We support the goal of Memphis 3.0 to build up, not out. But there must be thoughtful planning at the neighborhood level first.
