Property development

  • A zone verification application has been filed for the property at 3655 W 13th Avenue. This filing is the first step in the city’s review process to determine whether the current zoning regulations for the site align with the applicant’s intended use. At this stage, no specific development plans or project details have been submitted, and the application is focused solely on confirming the property’s zoning status. Residents interested in future updates or public input opportunities should monitor city notices as the process moves forward. (view application)

Note on today’s report: Some of the incidents listed are not recent. This can happen for a couple of reasons: Delays in agency reporting — sometimes officials don’t file reports right away, or agencies release batches of reports weeks later. Delays in public complaints — people may not notice or decide to contact police until some time after an incident. Please contact the responsible law-enforcement agency or your local elected officials if you have concerns about their delay in releasing information.
