| Project Scope:
The Town of Wright, Wyoming retained
Pedersen Planning Consultants (PPC) to revise its zoning
ordinance and zoning map to make municipal zoning consistent
with its recently revised municipal master plan.
Pedersen Planning Consultants
prepared the revised master plan for the Town of Wright and, as
a result, was familiar with many of the inconsistencies between
the municipal master plan and Town zoning. Consequently, PPC
was able to begin the zoning revision process with a community
workshop to gain community insights, concerns, and
recommendations.
An investigation was subsequently
made of the experience and requirements of other communities in
the United States for selected zoning issues. Revisions
considered the establishment of new zoning designations and
various issues such as permitted land uses, manufactured
housing, vehicular parking, home occupations, landscaping
requirements, and signage. The findings of this research were
discussed with the Town Planning and Zoning Commission. Draft
revisions were also closely coordinated with the Town Planning
and Zoning Commission to ensure that proposed revisions were
understood and revised to reflect the insights and concerns of
the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Upon completion of revised
definitions, permitted uses, and other zoning requirements, PPC
worked with the Planning and Zoning Commission to prepare a
revised zoning map for the Town of Wright. Using ArcView
software, this map was integrated into a new geographical
information system (GIS) for the Town of Wright, which was
developed earlier by PPC. |
