#cvilleplanstogether — Public Fediverse posts

I am sorry to learn that long time #Cville public servant Alex Ikefuna is no longer employed by the City. He was a vital part of finally getting the Comprehensive Plan and the entire #CvillePlansTogether framework back on track when many other public priorities fell apart over some difficult years. I am grateful for his hard work over the years and wish him more successes in the future.

I am proud to share that "HB2153 Comprehensive plan; housing development by nonprofit organizations.", partly inspired by the successful #CvillePlansTogether process has passed both chambers of the #VALeg and is awaiting signature by Governor Youngkin https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20251/HB2153 #Virginia #housing #zoning #YIGBY

Two interesting #housing talks from the #Maryland Department of Planning were recently posted. The first has Christy Dodson, Jennifer Koch, and James Freas talking about #cville #zoning and the #cvilleplanstogether process to bring #equity into land use regulations https://youtu.be/qJnpikE9lkc

Late to the discussion, but I'm interested to see that Chuck Marohn of #strongtowns , who I often agree with has commented on a challenge of #cville 's #cvilleplanstogether process where less burdensome #zoning is effectively negated by #racialcovenants in many high cost areas #segregation #jimcrow https://actionlab.strongtowns.org/hc/en-us/community/posts/12976853073940-upzoning-to-raise-property-taxes-but-development-stymied-by-covenants

Hey, #cvilleplanstogether gets a shoutout in the #zoning textbook I assigned. That's kind of fun.

Thanks to Barbara Brown Wilson for the chance to speak to her class about the #cvilleplanstogether process and the importance of collecting demographic information and disaggregating data to understand and appreciate differing voices and needs and inform more equitable and effective policy and spending #housing #equity #data

Very tired. My recollection from the seven or so hour #cville Planning Commission meeting last night is that the two public hearings for I believe 555 new homes total for students near the University of Virginia were both recommended for approval by Council. No progress on the #cvilleplanstogether #zoning work, which I fear is stuck in a quagmire around a new antidisplacement zoning category and map, not yet written, no ETA

Ah, there is this little item at the very end: "1. Charlottesville Development Code and Zoning Map Deliberation (if needed)". If materials from City staff are ready, this may well be a final recommendation from the Planning Commission on the new #cvilleplanstogether #zoning I and many others have worked so hard on for so many years #housing #equity #climate #zoningreform
