The City's year-long project to rewrite its development code is underway.

Much like GVL2040, public engagement and input are critical to the success of this important project and the City is employing a variety of tools to make it easy and convenient to participate in the process.

Educational Tools

The project web page includes informative materials, such as videos, FAQs and code-related articles:

Growth and Development
What is a Development Code?
The Code and The GVL2040 Comprehensive Plan

Council Updated on Project

Consultants from czb and City planning staff provided a project update at City Council’s annual retreat on February 9. The project team discussed plans to make the new code specific and consolidated and shared that it will include incentives to encourage the development of affordable housing, open space and transportation while encouraging good urban design.

Testing the Code
The consulting team began rethinking existing zoning districts to better accommodate GVL2040 and meet the goals of the development code rewrite. These ideas will be tested in the five areas selected for additional planning work and code testing.
