Zoning Reform and Code Writing

The city adopted a new zoning code in 2012. It includes a mix of use-based and form-based zoning standards. It includes public frontage standards for each zoning district. And it defines and regulates uses based on broad categories, with select specific use types, and includes use-specific standards to minimize reliance on discretionary use permits. It is richly illustrated and uses tables to organize use permissions and dimensional standards.
