GOAL: “Let's fit all 25,000!"

This is a commitment to each other that we will pursue modern land-use strategies to accommodate ALL of the Lubbock 2040 plan's recommendation for new housing inside Loop 289. This includes the immediate deregulation of restrictions on mixed-use zoning across Lubbock to bring more activity into neighborhoods and allowing for the creation of accessory dwelling units anywhere inside Loop 289, rather than these rules being determined by the Lubbock Apartment Association.
