Qadri pitches changes to UNO

City Council will consider a resolution to modify the University Neighborhood Overlay this Thursday. The resolution, which comes from District 9 Council Member Zo Qadri, is the result of a yearlong outreach process, according to a press release from Qadri’s office. “The student-centered improvements in the newest proposal, focusing on affordability and livability, include furthering requirements for windows in bedrooms, an expansion of UNO into adjacent areas, an expansion of the Inner West Campus subdistrict, amending height limits in line with Planning Commission recommendations and the Equitable Transit-Oriented Development (ETOD) overlay, an exploration of commercial options to promote healthy and accessible grocery options, and additional programmatic updates and mobility improvements,” it continues. The resolution, which can be read in its entirety here, is co-sponsored by Council members Natasha Harper-Madison, José Velásquez and Ryan Alter.
