Understanding 3.0

The City's Division of Planning and Development (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 year 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 were invited to three workshops in each planning district (followed by a 4th zoning meeting). Midtown is in the Core Planning District along with Downtown and the Medical District. Midtown/Core City meetings were in January 2025. The last meetings are being held and DPD will follow these with a fourth round of meetings, one in each planning district, to present their suggestions for rezoning.

MidtownMemphis.org has been meeting with neighborhood representatives from VECA to Glenview, from Lea's Woods to Speedway Terrace. Our goal is to help our neighbors understand the potential benefits and pitfalls of these proposed changes.
