During the Vision Lynn process, housing and development was a top community concern, including rising housing costs and the patterns of development. As an action item from Vision Lynn, the City is conducting a process to comprehensively rezone the city.
The first step of the rezoning process has been to audit the existing zoning for issues. At this point, the City would like your input as to what the top priorities are for the new zoning ordinance.
What is zoning?
Zoning is the city’s ability to regulate the use of land and buildings. It establishes zoning districts and their associated allowable uses (like housing, commercial, and industrial) and associated dimensional requirements (including how tall buildings can be). Zoning also establishes the approval process for developments and special regulations for particular areas and uses.
