What: a rewrite of the city's Land Development Code, with a new zoning map and a transition option letting applicants choose between the existing and new codes during a test period.
Where it stands: drafting toward an "80%" version; the third iteration is expected in late December or early January. The consulting contract is nearing its end and will be extended.
Next: the new zoning map is expected in December; planning commission and city commission hearings are anticipated in February and March.
Staff reviewed unresolved items: a by-right design district, streamlined administrative processes, sign code, landscape standards, historic preservation standards, parking, and residential living definitions. The commission asked for a milestone list and a final comprehensive review session of the next draft.
