*Fast Facts:*

·         The Durham City-County Planning Department is seeking resident and
stakeholder input and guidance in crafting Durham’s first-ever Urban Open
Space Plan. Once completed, the plan will address open space needs in the
Downtown, Compact Neighborhood, and Urban Tiers of the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO).

·         Next week’s open house is focusing on the Downtown portion of the
plan and is the first in a series of open houses geared toward generating
ideas and information on how residents and visitors live, work, and play in
between downtown’s buildings. Planners want to know the public’s opinion on
what the vision should be for urban open space, which can be quite different
from more conventional suburban and rural open space.

·         According to Senior Planner Aaron Cain, proper urban open space
can serve a multitude of critical functions, such as public gathering
spaces, relief from the built environment, and to increase value for nearby
land. “We want to hear from a diverse group of residents and stakeholders
about their vision for open space in downtown. We believe that a plan will
best identify the types and locations of our urban open spaces and allow us
to coordinate efforts and maximize the critical functions of these spaces
for residents and visitors.”

·         Depending on the input received from residents at the open house
events and staff analysis, there may be recommendations to amend the UDO
regarding open space provisions in the Downtown, Compact Neighborhood, and
Urban Tiers.

·         For additional information on this plan or the open house, contact
either Tom Dawson or Anne Kramer with the Durham City-County Planning
Department at (919) 560-4137 or via e-mail at Thomas.Dawson at DurhamNC.gov or
Anne.Kramer at DurhamNC.gov.

require assistance should call (919) 560-4197, TTY (919) 560-1200, or e-mail
ADA at DurhamNC.gov* *no later than 48 hours before the event.
