The document summarizes a town hall meeting held in the West End neighborhood to discuss impending rezoning proposals and their potential effects. It provides an overview of zoning, community plans, and the current framework in the West End. It reviews details of a proposed rezoning at 1401 Comox Street that would significantly increase the building density from an existing floor space ratio of 1.5 to a proposed 7.5. The meeting suggests developing an updated community plan to provide guidance on zoning changes and ensure future development protects neighborhood livability and character.
Planned communities continue to be needed to accommodate population growth in a sustainable way. While new greenfield planned communities represented about 9% of new homes historically, their role will diminish as greenfield development declines. Retrofitting existing suburbs and creating planned infill communities represent the best ways to regenerate urban areas at scale and provide renewed purpose for the real estate industry. Overall the outlook is limited for new communities but very good for retrofit communities and good for infill communities.

This document summarizes a scholarly article about changing power dynamics in the Nile River Basin between upstream and downstream countries. It discusses key events like agreements between countries sharing the Nile's waters and the establishment of cooperative institutions. It notes that Egypt has historically held the most control over the Nile due to its infrastructure and water usage, making it the "hydro-hegemonic" power. However, upstream countries are developing their own infrastructure and asserting more influence, challenging Egypt's dominance. The document examines how shifts in power relations have both enabled and strained multilateral cooperation over sharing the river's resources.

Editor's Notes
Most in-depth or comprehensive revisions or updates to Zoning Ordinances usually are based upon these objectives…I’ll go through each of these briefly to explain how we can accomplish these goals in our process of updating Yorkville’s zoning ordinance.
Internal Consistency:The Code must be consistent with other City regulatory documents, such as...Although not a regulatory document, but the Comprehensive Plan should be considered also with regards to density, land use, purpose and intent for each zoning district.We will cross-reference these documents, along the way and suggest any revisions to be made.
External Coordination:The update must also bring the Zoning Ordinance into compliance with federal and state land use and zoning laws.Here are a few examples of contemporary laws which will have an effect on certain section of the Ordinance.Klaeren – established that all proposals approved or denied per the zoning ord. will be reviewed by a court as a legislative decision and could then be retried again by the court. This dictates how clear, organized and well defined our review and approval process should be in the ord.
Layout and ease-of-useThe formatting if the document will be the final element in this process, but it should be considered through-out this draft process.Especially the use of graphics.The assist with helping convey more complex aspects of the ordinance without having to be overly technically verbose or wordy.Here are a few examples.BUT BE WARY….must have language in the ordinance that states where the text and graphic conflict, the text will govern.
Updating districts to reflect the current conditions, needs and opportunitiesWith the proposed new Special Districts, we will need to really hone-in on the specific criteria or goals we are trying to achieve and how they can be applied in those districts.Currently you have proposed these 3 new districts..what should we consider?
Use of Effective and Creative Zoning TechniquesOnce we know what we want within these districts, how do we go about achieving it?We can consider implementing some creative, yet effective development tools such as incentives and bonuses.These can come in the form of allowing increased density, requiring developments meet certain criteria for LEED Certification (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) or allowing for the transfer of development rights.Note that LEED has a new Green Neighborhood Development Certification just implemented this year (2010) and we will get more into this when we look at the Conservation Development District.
To accomplish all of this we don’t have to re-invent the wheel. We can look towards other communities that have implemented some of these techniques or objectives into their plans.We can learn what worked, what didn’t and why.I have already researched and compared at least 7 zoning ordinances from surrounding communities when analyzing the sections I have prepared for you to review tonight.
So how do I propose we get this done?Here is a very broad timeline of how the process will go.Through this summer (June-August) we will review the sections already revised.Then from August/September to November we will begin drafting the new sections.The Winter (December to March) will be dedicated to fine tuning and formatting.Spring of next year (April-May) will an opportunity for us to hold an Open House to present or draft to the public for feedback.Summer of 2011 will be the commissions and City County review process and final adoption.There will also be follow-up training for those commissions that will be administering/interpreting the ordinance (ZBA/PC)Throughout this process we will have presentations from guest speakers.
And our first speaker will be with us next session, Mr. Ronald Cope. Lead counsel in precedent-setting cases upholding modern zoning concepts. Written and lectured extensively on recent land use case law and statutes pertaining to zoning and annexation. Recent Development and Economic Incentive Transactions: Currently representing $400 million dollar wind farm development in defending the development of a 151-wind turbine wind farm against challenges to the zoning and actions for various forms of damage.
