This new zoning district, developed by the Brewery District in conjunction with the City Department of Community Development and Planning, will allow the unique, centuries old industrial buildings in Over-the-Rhine to be redeveloped to their fullest potential. This zoning district acknowledges the importance of the existing manufacturing base but still encourage economic development and also allowing new housing to be developed. This was the first citizen created zoning district in the city’s history, and was implemented in Over-the-Rhine and is being investigated for other city neighborhoods.
