Action Agenda Item <br />Zoning is perhaps the greatest tool a community has to shape the built environment. North <br />Olmsted's zoning code should be reviewed and updated consistent with the action agenda of <br />the 2015 Master Plan and those recommendations from the 2005 Master Plan which remain <br />relevant. Updates may range from adjusting standards in a particular district to the creation of <br />new zoning classifications. Specific areas to be targeted include green space standards and tree <br />preservation, home occupations, mixed use and civic spaces, lighting and signage. <br />Commercial districts should be updated considering appropriate use, size and scale in relation <br />to context within the community. <br />Successes <br />In July 2015 city staff began the process of updating the city's <br />commercial districts with the guidance of consultants from LSL <br />Planning. A steering committee was convened, stakeholder input <br />was gathered, and consultants completed a technical audit of the <br />existing code. Results of this process were compiled into a zoning <br />"Blueprint" presented to City Council and the Planning & Design <br />, Commission in November 2015. Support was shown for <br />.. undertaking the next phase of the work, code writing, in 2016. <br />North Olmsted Master Plan Annual Report <br />City of North Olmsted <br />Blueprint <br />miLSL P?lanning <br />3 <br />Zoning Code Update GO <br />North <br />Review, audit and update the current zoning code 2015 OEmsted
