The City of Altoona is seeking a qualified and experienced consultant firm to rewrite its Zoning (Title 19) and Subdivision / Land Division (Title 18) ordinances. The last major update was in 1970 and the code has become outdated. Altoona is a rapidly changing community and the version of Altoona the current code was written for in 1970 was a very different community from present-day.

The new ordinance must reflect the goals and values of the City as illustrated in the 2022 Comprehensive Plan and supportive planning documents, and improve the form and function of the built environment, while being understandable and enforceable.

Proposals will be judged by the scope of work and criteria found in this RFP.
