Northern Hills Golf Course re-zoned using the new "G" designation

On Thursday, January 20, City Council voted to rezone the Northern Hills Golf Course from MF-33, a multi-family zoning, to the new Golf Zoning District. This new zoning district will preserve the existing golf course and green space.

This effort began in January 2008 after the Northern Hills Home Owners Association made their formal zoning request to the City Council. The District 10 office worked with city staff to create the new Golf Zoning District designation for all golf courses and open spaces. Yesterday's vote was the completion of the rezoning process, which began with a city council resolution in October 2010.

"This was a great community lead effort to preserve the integrity and quality of life of the Northern Hills area which consists of 1,700 homes and over 4,000 residents," said District 10 Councilman John Clamp. "We are happy that the council voted unanimously to rezone the golf course to prevent multi-family developments within their neighborhood. I would like to thank my colleagues, city staff and the community for their support of this effort."
