PLANNING TOOLS: ZONING UPDATES <br />The development patterns identified as necessary <br />to create greater density and mixture of uses <br />along the corridor can be achievable without a full <br />overhaul of the existing code. <br />While this project did not include a full zoning <br />analysis, these high-level recommendations <br />can be explored to support more desirable <br />development patterns. <br />• Overlay zoning <br />• Removal of parking minimums <br />• Expanded uses within zoning districts <br />• Provision of density/height bonuses <br />It should be noted that any zoning toots utilized <br />must eliminate exclusionary zoning practices. <br />Policies such as minimum lot size requirements, <br />residential parking minimums, and strict zoning <br />regulations hinder economic mobility, <br />perpetuate inequality, and diminish social <br />cohesion. This ultimately undermines the health <br />and prosperity of cities and their residents. <br />Many existing zoning codes have remnants of <br />these exclusionary policies, and any zoning <br />updates should seek to eliminate them. <br />LORAIN ROAD CORRIDOR STUDY <br />
