See if the Proposed Zoning Changes Affect You

The Planning Commission has proposed to change Roxborough's zoning. See how, where and why.

Above is a slideshow featuring a series of maps that show and try to explain the proposed zoning changes for Roxborough.  

The old zoning map is in each slide on the left, and the new proposed zoning map is in each slide on the right.

There is also text next to each set of maps explaining the changes.  

Most of the changes work to make the zoning map more consistent with the character of the neighborhood or to protect the current population density levels.  
For example, if a large single-family home was sitting on a lot zoned for row homes, a developer could come in, subdivide the lot, demolish the single-home and put up 10 new homes.

The new zoning tries to prevent that from happening.
