| Project Scope:
The Town of Alpine, Wyoming retained
Pedersen Planning Consultants (PPC) to revise its municipal
zoning ordinance and related zoning map following completion and
adoption of its revised municipal master plan. This revision
addressed needed modifications to land use regulations that were
outlined by PPC in the municipal master plan. |
|
| During this regulatory revision,
PPC recognized the opportunity to incorporate a new zoning
ordinance within a new Alpine Land Use and Development Code.
This reorganization conveniently brought together all relevant
land use regulations into one part of the municipal code. The
establishment of a unified land use regulation also enables the
Town of Alpine to add additional land use regulations to this
section of the municipal code when necessary. |
 |
|
| The new land use and
development code outlined the authority and scope of
responsibilities for the Alpine Planning and Zoning Commission,
the Alpine Town Council, a new municipal board of adjustment, a
new zoning administrator, and building inspector. A detailed
review and approval process was also established for land use
plan amendments, zone changes, variances, and planned unit
development projects.
Revisions to the zoning ordinance of the land use and
development code expanded opportunities for home occupations in
all residential districts, as well as established mixed
commercial and residential zoning districts.
A revised zoning map was also
prepared by PPC using the community land use plan map that was
adopted as part of the 2006 municipal master plan update.
Additional insights from the Alpine Planning and Zoning
Commission, the Alpine Town Council, and the general public were
also used to further refine new zoning map designations. |
