To facilitate your review of the code, we have prepared an executive summary that gives you a snapshot of the new standards and the differences with the existing code.
The purpose of this Executive Summary report is to introduce form-based codes or character-based codes, and to provide guidance as to how to use the Form-Based Code. Specifically, this document will enable Village staff, Trustees, and the public-at-large to familiarize themselves with how a form-based code regulates development for a particular piece of property. This document is outlined as follows:
- Form-Based Code Overview
- Introduction to Character Districts
- Breakdown of Specific Character District Regulations
- Building Types
- Lot Layers & Encroachments
- Parking
- Uses
- Site Plan Procedure
- Nonconforming Uses
