The biggest change to current land use is the large swath along Libbie changing from Single-Family to Mixed-Use. Several other areas change from Transitional Office to Mixed Use. An Urban Business District zoning classification is recommended for the Mixed Use areas.

Text of proposed amendments

From the amendment document:

Although historically Grove and Patterson were separate shopping districts, there is an accelerating positive trend that will eventually join these into one shopping district. Development and zoning conversions are bringing more and more commercial and office uses to Libbie, between Grove and Patterson. This evolution of the three streets into one town center for Westhampton will be important to the future vitality of all the business on each of these streets.

Recommendations include renovations to the West End library, and improvements to medians, sidewalks, and other areas surrounding the intersection of Patterson and Libbie to make it more visually appealing and pedestrian-friendly.

Councilman Bruce Tyler will be holding his monthly First District Meeting tonight in the cafeteria of Mary Munford Elementary School from 6:30PM-8:00PM, if you have questions or concerns.
