Description
  Abstract: Represents Housing Opportunity Areas. These are site-specific areas identified as appropriate for a range of residential densities and uses described in the Master Plan and may provide for higher densities and a greater variety of housing types than generally designated in surrounding areas when unique site circumstances exist and when conditions are attached to the development to ensure compatibility with the surrounding area.
  Purpose: To identify areas of the city where large tracts of land are available in a contiguous area, that allow for the development of a variety of residential uses.
  Supplemental Information: Changes to the Housing Opportunity Areas are made only when a Master Plan amendment is approved and adopted or when a new Master Plan is approved and adopted. Amendments and new Master Plans are adopted by the City Planning Commission and City Council.
