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.]

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