Lyle Solla-YatesWe are running into some interesting challenges with the new <a href="https://cville.online/tags/zoning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zoning</a> code in <a href="https://cville.online/tags/cville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cville</a> , which is broadly that, by replacing a series of complicated one-off rulesets for each application (“Planned Unit Development”) with a new citywide standard, we are finding some inefficiencies in applying the same yardstick everywhere, especially around the new fence height regulations (“what is a fence?”), building height regulations, and width regulations.

Lyle Solla-YatesThis is the first opportunity for the Commission to discuss the new Development Code since Council enacted it in 2023. <a href="https://cville.online/tags/zoning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zoning</a> rules are powerful and complicated so it is important to get them right and make them as clear as possible.

Lyle Solla-Yates“Right now, we’ve got a lot of developers asking about the ordinance and asking about changes,” Norris said. “The number one concern that they raise according to the city is how can I get out of building affordable housing, and we want to flip that.” <a href="https://www.29news.com/2025/01/28/year-retrospect-charlottesville-zoning-ordinance/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.29news.com/2025/01/28/year-retrospect-charlottesville-zoning-ordinance/</a> <a href="https://cville.online/tags/cville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cville</a> <a href="https://cville.online/tags/zoning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zoning</a> <a href="https://cville.online/tags/housing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#housing</a>

Sieva 🚴🚇🏙️🌹I'm staying on the outskirts of Hamburg, in an area that is like Langley to Metro Vancouver. I booked a room in a random hotel near where my friend lives. I walked 8 mins from his place to my hotel, 5 mins to a supermarket, 3 mins to a fantastic vegan restaurant. I never felt unsage. Would I be able to do this in Langley? Doubt it. I don't think it's even possible in East Van where I live.Exclusionary zoning robs us of quality of life.<a href="https://social.coop/tags/SievaToursEurope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SievaToursEurope</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/zoning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zoning</a>
