[Community Development]

*Invitation: *
*What: Development Code Update Public Forum*
*When: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.*

*All interested persons are welcome to attend.*

The City of Columbia has hired Clarion Associates and Ferrell Madden
Associates to prepare a comprehensive update of its land development codes,
including but not limited to the Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 29) and
Subdivision Regulations (Chapter 25).  Current land use regulations for the
downtown area may be replaced or supplemented by form-based controls that
emphasize the consistency of the urban form and allow more flexible mixes
of uses in that area.  All land use regulations will be integrated and
illustrated to incorporate best practices, to improve user-friendliness, to
guide more consistent decision-making, and to simplify administration. Once
the resulting development code has been drafted, a limited revision to the
existing zoning map will be completed to align with the new code.

Clarion is a national land use consulting firm that has completed over 130
zoning and development code revision projects throughout the U.S. and
Canada.  Staff assigned to this project include Don Elliott, FAICP
(planner-lawyer), Kristin Cisowski, LEED AP (planner-lawyer-engineer), and
Alyssa Myers (graphic artist).  Ferrell Madden is a nationally-recognized
firm specializing in form-based zoning controls and urban design. Staff
assigned to this project include Geoff Ferrell, FBCI, and Mary Madden, AICP.

Please consider attending this first public forum on Tuesday evening 1/28/14
at 6:30 p.m., City Council Chambers. Don Elliott. FAICP and Kristin
Cisowki, LEED AP, Clarion Associates and Mary Madden, AICP, Ferrell Madden
Associates will be on hand to make a brief presentation on the scope of the
project followed by a question and answer session.
