WGRFP_ZONING - Zoning Code Update 2020

With assistance from Village staff, elected officials, Schuyler County Planning Department and others appointed by the Village Board, the selected consultant will conduct a public process to develop a new Zoning Code for the Village of Watkins Glen. It is anticipated that the selected consultant will create a state of the art zoning code that will consider all zoning tools such as: form-based standards, traditional zoning and hybrid solutions. These standards and new code shall support walkable neighborhoods and mixed-use commercial areas. The new code should assist to preserve the character and historic structures of the Village. This update should also incorporate the key concepts of Smart Growth, New Urbanism principles, and architectural design standards. It should include graphics when appropriate. This update should also include modifications to the sign code in order to meet the legal requirements stipulated in Reed v. Town of Gilbert.
