Cincinnatians have the opportunity to shape the way their neighborhoods look, and help spur desired development – and prevent unwanted development – in their communities, by participating in this process to implement a new approach to building community character.
On April 28, Cincinnati neighborhoods will begin the process of developing form-based codes, a powerful new tool for revitalizing neighborhoods and streamlining the development process. I have been working since 2008 with neighborhoods around the city to bring form-based codes to Cincinnati. Read more about this innovative alternative to conventional zoning here.
The upcoming citywide charrette — an open, multi-day visioning process involving all types of community stakeholders — will create a Cincinnati template for neighborhoods to use as a foundation in developing a form-based code for their communities. Residents, business owners, and employees, real estate developers, design professionals and any other interested citizens will meet with the professional team that is writing and illustrating Cincinnati's form-based code. The consultant team will include planners, architects, illustrators, transportation engineers, economists and retail consultants.
The charrette will begin with a kickoff session on Saturday, offered at two different times to make it convenient.
