Neighborhood Zoning Change Passed City Council
The neighborhoods of Lake Terrace and Lake Oaks together have been working hard to get their respective neighborhood zoning changed to align with Lake Vista and Lake Shore zoning. The zoning is almost identical with only minor differences. Multiple meetings have been held to engage the community, and the zoning change was recently passed by city council vote. The last step is for the mayor to sign the approval for the change to be finalized.Â
