Navigating the maze of zoning laws can often seem daunting, but it's a crucial step in ensuring your property development aligns with community goals and regulations. Zoning is more than just a set of rules; it's a strategic framework aimed at promoting community health, safety, and welfare, meticulously crafted by city planning departments. But what exactly is zoning? At its core, zoning regulations dictate land use and development criteria, segmenting cities into various districts, each with its own set of development criteria. These criteria cover a wide range, from allowable uses and lot sizes to building setbacks and landscaping requirements. Moreover, zoning laws include Use Unit Classifications, grouping together uses with similar functions to systematically allocate them to appropriate districts, all in service of the public's health, safety, and welfare. Whether you're a developer, a homeowner, or someone with a dream to build, understanding the zoning districts and regulations in your area is essential. Dive deeper into how zoning shapes our communities and what it means for your next project. Let's demystify zoning together and create spaces that reflect our collective vision for a safe, healthy, and well-organized community. #UrbanPlanning #ZoningRegulations #CommunityDevelopment #LandUse #RealEstateDevelopment

The City of Langley is creating a a new Zoning Bylaw that will update the existing Zoning Bylaw that is over 25 years old, and build on the OCP's direction to set specific requirements on building design, land uses, and more. As part of this process, an online survey is now open (until December 5) to gather input and thoughts of residents and businesses. The Langley Chamber's Government Policy Committee is reviewing the survey and will be making a submission, but we encourage individuals to do so as well. The survey asks for input on issues such as allowing cannabis retail in the City, parking requirements for new builds, zoning to allow for childcare, allowable housing size and other issues. Feedback received as part of these public engagement activities will be used to help develop the draft new Zoning Bylaw. Take the survey?? https://lnkd.in/dT_T5dTb #langley #langleybc #langleybusiness #langleyliving

Why are those middle of the road housing options MISSING.?.? Maybe it’s because the easiest option is often not the best one… and if it was easy, EVERYONE would be doing it! As we address the global housing crisis, we need more cities willing to take the steeper climb and harder road of zoning changes that allow for critical missing middle housing. We need more developer willing to get creative and think outside the box of standard design and big profit margins to see the wealth of opportunity in missing middle development. And we need more citizens willing to open their hearts to welcome “those people” who will fill in the missing pieces in their “backyards” and make them better! #design #missingmiddle #development #housing #housingcrisis #housingforall https://lnkd.in/g3HJbF7n

The most-read story from the previous week's Developer's Digest?, published by Bisnow, covers how a new zoning proposal for Long Island City aims to bring 14,000 new homes, including 4,000 income-restricted units, and over 3 million square feet of commercial space, along with expanded waterfront access. The Long Island City Neighborhood Plan, presented by the NYC Department of City Planning (DCP), updates zoning and the Waterfront Access Plan while introducing Mandatory Inclusionary Housing. Despite community opposition, development continues with 4,000 residential units under construction and 8,000 proposed. The area has seen significant growth, with the population increasing by 40% from 2010 to 2020. The plan now moves to environmental and public review.

Boston passed what may be the nation's first effort to add fair housing requirements to its zoning code back in 2021. The policy requires developers of large projects to assess possible impacts on area residents historically discriminated against and to take steps to reduce those impacts. With the policy on the books for three years now, this article assesses what is and isn't working.
