Specifications include, but are not limited to: The current Zoning Ordinance has important characteristics to note: It is based on principles of Euclidian zoning and contains design standards that may be inconsistent with current development trends (residential, retail, industrial). Some amendments made over time are inconsistent with the rest of the code. Portions of the code are designed to perpetuate suburban-style development. The ordinance contains a confusing series and structure of overlay and district-based development standards. It lacks design and administrative flexibility; therefore, a cumbersome CUPD process is used frequently. In its current format, it lacks user or business friendly tools such as diagrams or graphics to improve readability and understanding. The County desires an ordinance that better reflects the changing dynamics of twenty-first century development patterns while considering emerging trends. The County desires a new ordinance that is balanced and flexible and may include a hybrid type of zoning regulations where form-based standards are incorporated in certain areas in alignment with the Comprehensive Plan.
