CONNECT with the CityHillcrest Focused Plan Amendment to the Uptown Community Plan
Projected Completion: 2024
The Hillcrest Focused Plan Amendment to the Uptown Community Plan plans for the development of more opportunities for homes and mixed-use development to support vibrant and active public spaces and small businesses. New development would support and enhance current local businesses, health care facilities, residential areas, public spaces, and future light and regional rail stations. The Amendment seeks to further celebrate the LGBTQ+ history and culture of Hillcrest. The Uptown Community Plan serves as the long-range vision for the land use, mobility, urban design, public facilities and services, natural resources, historic and cultural resources and economic development.
