How will the new zoning code make getting a permit faster?

The new zoning code is built to make the permitting process simpler and easier to understand.

• Clear rules: It’s written in plain language, so people can see what’s allowed before they apply.
• Less confusion: With fewer gray areas, staff can review projects faster and more consistently.
• Updated process: The new code works better with online permitting tools to save time.
• More projects allowed by right: If a project meets the standards, it can be approved without extra meetings or special reviews.

Overall, the new code helps everyone spend less time waiting and more time building.
