One of the core tenets behind reinventing the downtown development standards is to establish a streamlined review process that gets good buildings occupied and businesses operating as quickly and safely as possible. An urban form code has the ability to simplify the development review process by ensuring predictability in the quality and character of future development.
“Adopt a form-based code that offers procedural clarity and implement the masterplan through place-based standards.”
