[WestMorganNeighborhood] West Morgan Small Area Study charrette this weekend
Ana Duncan Pardo
See below for the latest from the Planning Department re: the West Morgan Small Area Study. The briefing book has been released for us to review before this weekend, and the link is below.
The big event is this Friday-Sunday downtown at the Urban Design Center. Don't forget to RSVP, even if you can only come for a small part of it. The Saturday workshop will be broken up into a morning session (10-1), a midday update w/ lunch (1:30-2:30), an afternoon session (2:30-5:30) and an hour-long wrap-up (5:30-6:30). The times listed are approximate. It is completely OK to come for just one part, or leave and come back, or come for all of it.
Many thanks again to Arthur and Anya at Irregardless for providing refreshments and lunch for the charrette. Hope to see you then!

BACKGROUND
The design workshop and previously held focus groups are elements of the West Morgan Area Study. The study is being undertaken to establish predictable expectations of how the West Morgan neighborhood and surrounding area should grow.
The study will provide information that will guide the creation of a land use classification consistent with the intent of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and an update to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The update may result in a City-initiated zoning proposal and map amendment. Transportation recommendations may lead to an amendment to the Thoroughfare Map. This study also will test the potential to create form-based code regulations related to a Pedestrian Business Overlay District (PBOD).
