Residents can dust up with Taylor’s development codes next Wednesday.
Code Rodeo: Code Development Update will be held July 13 at the Taylor Public Library, 801 Vance St. There will be a comeanytime workshop from 1 to 4 p.m. to evaluate draft neighborhood sketches and review draft zoning maps and districts. Afterward, there will be an open house from 6 to 8 p.m. for an introductory presentation of code and feedback, input, and conversation.
Development codes guide the built environment. Taylor city staff say current rules on the books are not representing Taylor’s current development patterns.
As a result, the city is working with Simplecity Design to bring the Envision Taylor Comprehensive Plan to life. Taylor adopted the new Comprehensive Plan Nov. 18, 2021. Envision Taylor is a policy document intended to be used by city leaders, developers, business owners and citizens to decide how to grow and develop in the future.
The Taylor Made Toolbox is the next phase of the Envision Taylor plan. The Toolbox will update Taylor’s codes based on local preferences to ensure the future of the Envision Taylor plan.
A series of public meetings are being held to get input from residents. The first meeting, a DNA Round-Up, was held on April 19, followed by a Design Rodeo May 3.
