AGENDA
Paul Reitenbach, Policy Analyst and Jason Lindahl, Program Manager from DDES will provide information about this proposed new zoning code being considered and the possibility of pilot programs that would apply this code to specific parts of the unincorporated areas. One of the areas under consideration is the northern portion of the Bear Creek area.
Predominate Characteristics of Form Based Code
• Mixed use and/or walkable neighborhoods – based on 15 minute walk radius
• Street and Lot connected and regulated by code
• Pedestrian scaled – sidewalks, planting strips, limited curb cuts, parking behind buildings
• Transitions in scale is regulated – building across streets similar, transitions occur behind lots or across alleys, transitions “one step at a time”
