An important step in implementing new or updated zoning regulations is to prepare a comprehensive program to “transition” from old zoning districts to new zoning districts. A zoning transition program provides a policy framework for determining how property is classified into one or more new zoning districts, and outlines procedures for public outreach, property owner notification, and the resolution of conflicts regarding the determination of zoning districts.
Plan Tools teams have prepared successful zoning transition programs and map updates for several Colorado municipalities. To view an example of a zoning map update that resulted from the implementation of a zoning transition program, please click here. |
