Downtown Fraser vision — CBD with residential flexibility

Fraser

Summary

Commissioners and former Mayor Lane recalled a walkable downtown plan with fountains and bistros that was shelved years ago. To keep that dream alive while protecting owners who want to sell home sites, the commission added single-family homes as a special land use in the downtown district — meaning any house project still needs commission approval.
