The plan says industrial zoning (I-1) "is widely present in the northwestern, southwestern, and southeastern corners of the neighborhood" and that Amarillo Boulevard and US 287/Fillmore Street have large areas of Light Commercial zoning. Its strategies include analyzing land use patterns to "address incompatible zoning issues," using "zoning tools (Rezoning, Overlays, Mixed Use)" to support a mix of housing, and "Amend inconsistent and incompatible zoning districts." ^[3]
