REASONS TO INCORPORATE

As a Home Rule City with over 6,000 residents, Eastwood would become part of the Planning Unit, giving it critically needed Zoning Authority. It will also protect Single-Family Zoning (R-4), which is on the verge of elimination from proposed Land Development Code Reform and Middle Housing.

Providing a police department in the Eastwood area would help augment LMPD. The need is an inevitable fact of growth in our area. It is a necessary step in building a thriving and secure city. Crime patterns are changing, and as density increases, so do opportunities for criminal behavior.
