BIRMINGHAM During a virtual meeting Feb. 10, the Birmingham Planning Board reviewed elements of the first draft of the city’s new proposed master plan.
While several items were mentioned, including a new neighborhood organization system and a revisit of some speed limits on residential streets, there was really one aspect of the plan community members focused on: multifamily housing.
Included in the board’s recommendations is a zhuzh to future land use designations downtown, in the Triangle District and at the edge of some neighborhoods that would allow, potentially, for more multifamily housing developments.
