Changes to modules 1 and 2 of the draft zoning code continue; module 3 to be released July 14
06/09/2010 |
ZCC Regular Session
ZCC consultants highlighted key changes to modules 1 and 2 of the draft zoning code, which are proposed in response to feedback provided by the public, commission members, civic groups, and other stakeholders. Not all issues are resolved at the time a change memo is released, however. Special working groups have been formed to discuss some topics in greater detail, such as daycare facilities, regulated uses, and the center city overlay district. These discussions allow the consultants to propose better and more focused changes to the code. ZCC chairman Alan Greenberger reiterated that the draft code is a work in progress and that changes are expected up until the point when a final draft must be presented to city council this fall. Module 3 on development standards will be released July 14, 2010 and a series of public outreach meetings will be scheduled between July 15 and July 29. View the draft change memo and PowerPoint Presentation.
