WBNA - Comprehensive Plan Survey

Every 10 years the City of Providence updates its Comprehensive Plan. Among other things, the Plan guides the City’s zoning code, which dictates what kinds of buildings can be built where, how much parking they need, how many units, etc. Housing affordability is a top priority for the WBNA, and since zoning and affordability are closely linked, the WBNA is conducting this survey to consider how to advocate for a Comprehensive Plan that makes the neighborhood more affordable without compromising the things that residents value most about the neighborhood.

1 - What are your favorite things about this neighborhood?

2 - What is the neighborhood lacking? (Places to get food, pharmacies, green space, childcare, etc.)

3 - Residential zoning has to divide lots between parking, open space (backyards and side yards), and building space, how would you prioritize those?

Parking

Open Space (backyards and side yards)

Building Space

Most Important

Middle Importance

Least Important

4 - Building more densely (taller buildings with more units) puts downward pressure on rents and home prices, but it also has the potential to change the character of a neighborhood. Given that, would you like to see future construction in our neighborhood:

Increase density: new buildings are taller and have more units than the buildings we have now.

Keep density about the same: new buildings are the same size and have the same number of units as the buildings we have now.

Lower density: new buildings are shorter and have fewer units than the buildings we have now.

No preference.
