<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:black">Hi all</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:black">I need to be thinking about how we're going to approach the long overdue comprehensive rewrite of our zoning bylaws and had a few questions for the water
cooler.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:black">First, those who have addressed a dated and flawed bylaw, what has your approach been?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:black">a) Did you conduct a complete rewrite? What were the components? Structure and organization, legal review, adding user-friendly elements?</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:black">b) If not comprehensive, what were the elements and issues that you focused on?</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:black">c) Did you introduce innovative methodologies and types? Form-based? Hybrid? Any elements of performance zoning?</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:black">d) How did you fund it and what was the cost?</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:black">e) What type of consulting team did you use? Multidisciplinary? Did you do some of it in-house?</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:black">f) Did you have a committee? How was it composed?</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:black">g) What was the biggest challenge?</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif;color:black">So, if you have recently done work on your bylaw, let me know what you did...or even if you are preparing for it or thinking about it.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
