Purpose

This blog is one method the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) is using to solicit and respond to public comments on the proposed Unified Zoning Ordinance (UZO). The draft ordinance and draft zoning map may be downloaded at www.unifiedzoning.org. The public comment period is June 28, 2011 through January 31, 2012.

How to Leave a Comment

On the right hand side of the page, each Article (or chapter) of the UZO has a page for comments. There is also a page for “general” comments/questions that are not specific to a particular section of the ordinance. Click on the page that relates to your comment/question and you will be taken to the page and provided with follow-up directions.

All comments must be reviewed by staff prior to being posted online. Comments containing profanity or other harsh language as well as derogatory statements about an individual or group will not be posted. Any replies to comments other than those written by staff will not be posted.  Please allow at least 24 hours for your comment to appear online. Thank you for your participation.
