Hale ADU Rezoning

Councilwoman Sawyer facilitated a conversation considering a legislative rezoning of the Hale statistical neighborhood, including parts of Mayfair. There were two virtual community meetings and a survey. Survey closed on September 29.

After an extensive outreach process, the majority of the neighborhood said they did want to move forward. We are happy to announce that the survey was statistically valid and had 58% of respondents in favor of the changes. Based on the feedback we received in our community meetings, in the survey, and in the East Area Plan, we have moved forward with a legislative rezoning that, if approved, will allow all single unit properties in Hale to build an ADU without having to go through a rezoning process.
