DEVELOPMENT UPDATES
Council Adopts New Guidelines For Residential Developments
On February 23, 2009, the City Council adopted new guidelines to ensure quality residential neighborhoods while allowing flexibility in the design of the development. These guidelines incorporate principles of urban planning and place making, including concepts for Smart Growth and Traditional Neighborhood Development, good landscaping and building design. The guidelines are intended to assist developers in the review and approval of residential neighborhoods through a Planned Development zoning process.
A copy of the Design Guidelines for Planned Development Districts for Residential Neighborhoods is available here. Contact the Planning Department for more information.
