Title
Joint Town Council Conference Session - Planning Commission Work Session on CODE CREATE VIENNA Public Engagement Update
Body
BACKGROUND SUMMARY:
The Town has retained a consultant team led by ZoneCo (formerly Calfee Zoning) to clarify, simplify, reorganize, and update the Town’s subdivision and zoning ordinance, Chapters 17 and 18 of the Town Code. The Town’s last significant zoning code changes occurred over fifty years ago in 1969; a significant portion includes regulations that date back to the 1956 zoning ordinance. The zoning code is outdated and cumbersome. This results in uncertainty for citizens, elected officials, and the development community.
Staff from the Department of Planning and Zoning (DPZ) is managing this project with leadership from Town Council and the Planning Commission. The Town desires to have a strong, collaborative process among community stakeholders, Council, Planning Commission, staff, and the consultant team.

DPZ staff will provide an update on the public engagement efforts to date for CODE CREATE VIENNA along with the results of the Residential Standards Visual Survey.
SUMMARY/STAFF IMPRESSIONS:
DPZ staff is seeing feedback on the results of the Residential Standards Visual Survey.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
