Form-based Villages, The Tale of Two Communities »
2023 Fall Conference, September 28, 2023 11:10 am“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” Weber County Planners are drinking the form-based cool-aid hoping to create villages that transcend current times and provide various communities of lasting value. In doing so, we’ve noticed a stark difference between formulating street regulating plans with community residents and business owners versus doing so with a developer. In this session we will explore the ways in which Weber County is implementing a hybrid form-based code for various village areas, along with our experiences engaging the public in doing so.
