Project Background: The City of Hamilton has embarked on an initiative called the Traditional Neighborhoods (TN) Project. The goal of the TN Project is to establish new zoning regulations specifically tailored to the unique character and form of Hamilton's traditional neighborhoods. Traditional neighborhoods are those parts of the city that were developed prior to the 1950's. These areas feature smaller lot sizes and homes built within a well-connected street system where destinations, amenities and cultural institutions are located within walking distance. Planning Staff has drafted new zoning districts specifically written to address the unique identity of traditional neighborhoods. The proposed rezoning is also part of an ongoing effort to implement the recommendations of Plan Hamilton, the City's new Comprehensive Plan which calls out new zoning that compliments the existing development in these areas. No development project or building is proposed with this rezoning request. If you have any comments concerning this matter, you may appear at the public hearing or you may forward your comments to the Planning Department in writing for presentation at the meeting. More detailed information about the Traditional Neighborhoods Project can found online at: https://www.hamilton-city.org/266/Planning-Commission. Staff welcomes the opportunity to discuss the project and answer any questions you may have prior to the public hearing date. You can contact a member of the Planning Team by calling 513-785-7350.
