General Business

  • City Updates

  • Committee Member Updates

    Hold for members of CSAC to share relevant information about Central Square.

  • Update on Process for Central Square Rezoning

The Community Development Department (CDD) is leading a community process to update zoning for Central Square.  Zoning is the set of rules that control the allowed shape, density, and use of property. Guided by community goals identified in prior planning efforts, recommendations will focus on

  • increasing housing,
  • creating public spaces to build community, and
  • supporting our diverse retail, cultural, and non-profit community.

At this meeting with CSAC, CDD staff will present on the project scope and framework, background plans and context, and the engagement strategy. There will also be time reserved for questions and feedback.
