+Newark old Town Infill Housing Study

In January 2008, the City Council authorized a study of the Old Town neighborhood of Newark to recommend future land uses, with a focus on potential infill housing options. The results of this study will likely be used to suggest sites for Newark’s 2009 housing element update.

A community meeting was held on March 5, 2008 to introduce this project to the public and hear their concerns and desires for Old Town. Based on the comments from the first meeting, as well as previous plans for the Old Town area, three alternatives were developed for future land uses in Old Town. These alternatives were presented to the community at a meeting on March 26, 2008 and are shown in the presentation for that meeting.

Based on community comments, existing land uses and previously developed plans for the Old Town area, the project team developed a suggested alternative for future land use in Old Town. This alternative includes a mixed use core with less intense uses moving away from the core. This suggested alternative was presented to the community at a meeting on May 13. Links to the suggested land use alternative map, the presentation from the May 13 meeting, and community comments and questions are provided below.

The final report on this project will be presented to the Planning Commission and the community at the Planning Commission meeting on June 24. A link to the report is provided below.
