MULTIPLE CODES FOR SIMILAR CONTEXTS
The city has several stand-alone form-based codes (approximately six) and each of them have different formats, vocabulary, and organizing principles. Each of these was created to implement a specific vision for a defined location in the City. At the same time, much of the code language, graphics and metrics are the same or similar from one code to the next. Moving forward, the planning team recommends that the City adopt a zoning approach that will simplify the writing and implementation of form-based districts so that it can be used along other aging corridors, which should save the City money (that is paid to consultants to develop a code from scratch) and which should simplify administration of the code by decreasing redundancy and standardizing language and graphics.
