In late July, consultants working on a new zoning ordinance for Charlottesville will release a final draft in advance of public hearings and adoption. One group is hoping that the final version will not feature a high level of additional residential density.
“We have heard from some Councilmembers some trepidation about how far the draft goes, opening up the possibility that Council might change the draft to make it less extreme,” reads an email that went out from Citizens for Responsible Planning.
The group is hoping to gather more signatures for a petition created by an anonymous resident. The petition argues that the additional density called for in the plan is too risky for the city and does not come with additional investments in transportation.
Want to learn more before making up your mind? There will be an open house on the third module of the draft zoning code at CitySpace on June 14 from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Public comment on module 3 will be taken through June 18. (Leave your comment)

There was originally a link to an information sheet from the group Livable Cville that I thought had been a petition. I misread the email from one of the people associated with the group. You can find it on their website.
