Early contact between registered neighborhood contacts and developers is a primary goal of the initiative so that upcoming projects may incorporate local concerns and likewise benefit from community support. In February of 2006, the first group of neighborhoods and special interest overlay areas were adopted in conjunction with the NNI, and new groups are added as registration information is submitted or overlays are suggested. Each area corresponds to a listserv for which members of the public may sign up to receive email notifications about proposed zoning actions. Anyone may sign up for notifications in any area, regardless of residency location. WHAT IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD NOTIFICATION INITIATIVE? WHAT TYPE OF E-MAILS WILL I RECEIVE? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REGISTERED NEIGHBORHOOD & A SPECIAL INTEREST OVERLAY AREA? Proposed zoning actions that generate email notifications include the Plans Review of commercial, institutional and multi-family projects, and subdivisions of land creating five or more lots. They also include proposals for variances reviewed by the Hearings Board, for rezonings, planned developments and special uses reviewed by the Planning Commission, and for Certificates of Appropriateness reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission. If any one of these types of applications are submitted for a property within the boundaries of a neighborhood or a special interest overlay area you have signed up for, you will receive an email notice with information about the proposed project. NNI Neighborhoods are formed when organized or organizing neighborhood groups register to participate in the NNI. Functionally, the difference between the NNI overlay and the NNI neighborhood group is that there is no Contact Person for an overlay—it is simply an email notification area for which anyone can sign up, whereas an NNI Neighborhood has a designated Contact Person who receives Early Notification about proposals involving a rezone.
