The downzoning of several Westwood properties for single-family homes was approved unanimously by City Council.
The properties, at 2163 Harrison Avenue and at 2722-2728 Faber Avenue, were formerly occupied by nuisance multi-family buildings that were later purchased and razed by the City.
All of the sites could support multiple single-family homes of medium density, which would help the neighborhood reach its goal of a 60 percent homeownership rate.
The Westwood Civic Association is currently looking into establishing a land bank to make properties such as these more attractive to developers.
