Every established neighborhood in the city will get a specific neighborhood plan which outlines policies for housing changes, population growth, transportation, green spaces, and the enhancement of commerce and services in the neighborhoods.
Neighborhood plans are land-use plans for established neighborhoods that aim to foster sustainable, environmentally friendly neighborhood growth in response to evolving priorities. Making changes to their homes or lots will become simpler for residents with the introduction of neighborhood plans.
With the neighborhood plan, there are guidelines that detail the provisions of the neighborhood plan and provide various useful information. These guidelines discuss a wide range of issues like additions, roof alterations, balconies, enclosing balconies, and other modifications to buildings, layout of lots, urban farming, and much more.
