Land Use & Zoning
2022-09: Page Under Costruction: An interesting idea would be to track re-zoned parcels, some parcels have been rezoned multiple times. What does that mean for the concept of predictability? Need to find something that attempts to explain the relationship between Plans & Ordinance (I mean, provided there actually is much of a relationship).
NOTE: This page intentionally does not cover land-use policy related to Brownfield, STR (Short Term Rentals, aka:AirBnB), or Marijuana.

- One of the first uses of the then new PRD (Planned Redevelopment District) "zone". A PRD zone is a way for the Planning Dept to grant a developer a special dispensation to build outside of what the zoning ordinance would allow anyone else to build. Of course, that developer needs to have the resources and connections to pursue such dispensation. Remember, one of the claims of legitimacy the zoning ordinance makes is predictability.
