Nodal Standards
In 2005, the City enacted four new zoning districts, three of which are nodal zones (single family, multi-family and commercial)
None of these zones have been utilized
Recent discussions highlighted the need to update and revise the Nodal standards
Row housing is encouraged, yet current standards discourage their development
Lot standards (width and depth) should be reduced in recognition of the narrowness of this particular type of development
Nodal standards recognize conventional development, but the ordinance precludes that type of development
