Status: Under Review

Proposal:  The Planning Commission will consider proposed revisions to the Sherwood Zoning and Community Development Code.  The proposed changes will update and consolidate Chapters 16.22 Office Commercial, 16.24 Office Retail, 16.26 Neighborhood Commercial, 16.28 Retail Commercial, 16.30 General Commercial, 16.31 Employment Industrial, 16.32 Light Industrial, 16.34 General Industrial, and 16.36 Institutional and Public. Specifically, the proposed changes will include consolidation of the chapters into their respective zone type (i.e. all commercial zones under one chapter), ensure that the vocabulary is consistent throughout the use tables, and will further clarify what uses are permitted outright, conditionally permitted, or prohibited in each zone. Changes will also include the addition of a use classification chapter to aid staff and the public in interpreting and categorizing uses within the code. Where discovered, housekeeping edits to ensure that scribner's errors, and grammar are correct will also be included in the proposal. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council who will make the ultimate decision.
