(It doesn’t have to be that way, btw…someone wrote that into the code – and WE can write it back out…if we have the political will to start undoing the laws that have eroded much of our small-town charm and liveability)

Where is #publicengagement with pilot neighborhood residents & block clubs @CLEcityplanning ? We haven't had any for 4 years, but experts are being engaged. Meanwhile we own property, pay taxes, live, walk, ride in areas that are targeted. @jennyspencercle #zoning #formbasedcode

Please, let's make sure this historic zoning upgrade includes:
1. use-based code to cover drivable, single-use parts of the community
2. #formbasedcode to cover walkable, mixed use places
3. suburban retrofit to translate between the two placemakers.com/tag/form-bas…

“The form-based code allows for a variety of options, including residential, commercial and other uses to exist together, sometimes in the same building. It also emphasizes a building's design over its use.” #formbasedcode #zoning #bylaw nwaonline.com/news/2022/dec/…
