charter
Eiber is a well established, unique neighborhood, the core of which is a coherent, attractive, well-wooded, semi-rural residential area partly bordered by multi-family properties and commercial corridors. As an older part of the city, all parts of the neighborhood confront the pressures of infill growth and redevelopment. To preserve and enhance the quality of the neighborhood, members of the community and the City government will strive to:
- Preserve and strengthen the existing low-density, 1-R and 2-R residential areas within the neighborhood;
- Maintain the current residential land use along the proposed 13th Avenue light-rail corridor;
- Promote improvements of the maintenance, appearance, and quality of commercial and multifamily properties;
- Ensure that outstanding parks, recreational facilities, and opportunities for both the young and the elderly be available in and near the neighborhood;
- Create a safer environment by enhancing traffic control and protection from crime and violence;
- Establish better communication between the City of Lakewood and the citizens within the Eiber area.
neighborhood plan
The Eiber Neighborhood Plan was first adopted as an amendment to the City of Lakewood Comprehensive Plan by City Council in October 2001. In April of 2015, City Council adopted a revised Comp Plan, replacing the amended version of 2001. The Comprehensive Plan now incorporates elements of the original Neighborhood Plans in its main goals and action steps, rendering the lesser plans obsolete.
Regardless, the Eiber Neighborhood Plan remains the document that guides the Eiberhood Board in its activities. No longer being an amendment of a city document now allows us to review and update the plan, the process of which is underway.
The following is a summary of the Eiber Neighborhood Plan of 2001; the guiding principles will stay the same as the revised plan is developed.
The focus of the Plan is on maintaining Eiber’s low-density, single-family residential character, improving the appearance and condition of apartments in the area, and mitigating the impacts of the 13th Avenue West Corridor light rail line.
