Discussion: Land Use & Zoning
Zoning & Citizen Involvement. Learn about the elements in the code that help preserve neighborhood character and the procedures for input by civic organizations on proposed development. A small group exercise will help you gain an appreciation for other points of view, an important perspective for real estate professionals and investors to understand the perspective of neighborhood leaders.
The Zoning Code. Understand the reasons why zoning has evolved as an important tool of planning. Zoning regulates land uses and the type, size, and height of buildings. An overview of the zoning code will help you understand what zoning regulates, as well as what it does not. Real projects will be used to demonstrate three methods of zoning “relief”: variances, special exceptions, and zoning remapping. Gain a better understanding of how to navigate the code from an Investors’ perspective– what the steps are to learn what can be built on a lot and what approvals a project needs.
