NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING
In order to develop more comprehensive and responsive strategies for neighborhood
improvement, the Department stepped up its neighborhood planning activities in the
seven NSA's significantly during 1980. A good deal of time was spent working with
citizens and neighborhood associations in order to develop sound neighborhood plans
which would provide direction for neighborhood improvements. Much of the work
centered on educating neighborhoods about planning and the planning process through
a series of neighborhood planning meetings. The meetings helped to familiarize
citizens with local planning efforts and the planning staff with neighborhood
strengths and problems.
In 1980, four neighborhood plans were completed and approved by the City Plan
Commission. Plans for East Central, Nebraska, Northwest Central and Oxford
Neighborhoods defined specific improvement strategies covering a five- to tenyear
time frame. The plans will serve as decision-making guides for both the
public and private sectors. In addition to the completion of four neighborhood
plans, steps were taken to implement many of the improvements outlined in the
plans such as downzoning, the . installation of capital improvements and housing
rehabilitation.
The latter portion of 1980 saw the planning staff broaden its area of neighborhood
planning responsibility by looking beyond the NSA1s. Preliminary analyses for
plan development were initiated in near southeast, southwest and east side
neighborhood areas.
In addition to developing neighborhood
plans, the planning staff provided
assistance on a number of specific
projects. Such projects as an
innovative energy grant, the Pontiac
Street commercial revitalization
effort and the improvement of
Neighborhood Care, Inc. programs
like HUD 312 rehabilitation and
Urban Homesteading received the
attention of the neighborhood
planning staff during 1980.
