| Title 21 Rewrite - Economic Impact Analysis |
|
Development Strategies, a consulting firm under contract with the Municipality, prepared a draft Economic Impact Analysis (EIA) of the Title 21 Rewrite. The EIA focuses on new land use regulations proposed in the Title 21 Public Hearing Draft now under review. The EIA measures potential economic impacts in two ways: impacts on land values compared to land development potential, and impacts on development costs to comply with the proposed regulations.
Go to the project page for more information about the project, meeting schedule, and to download the draft EIA document. Copies are available at the Planning Counter in the Planning and Development Center, 4700 Elmore Road, and in the Clerk's Office in City Hall, 632 West 6th Avenue.
