JCC campus future development framework
Summary
The Jewish Community Center wants to rezone its 23.8-acre Dutchmans Lane campus to a Planned Development District with a Campus form district, guided by a pattern book of uses and design standards. It would let the JCC add facilities over decades without repeated rezonings, while banning uses like car lots and tattoo shops and requiring early notice to neighbors before large or tall buildings.

The PD zoning and Campus form district, governed by a pattern book, would let future buildings be approved by staff while the JCC retains design oversight. Metro Council has the final say.
