<h2><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Project Background</span></strong></h2><p>Located at the corner of S Public Road and Kimbark Street, the 701 Pocket Park project looks to create a vibrant, accessible, and inclusive community space that fosters public gatherings, celebrates Old Town&#39;s creative identity, and integrates play features for residents and visitors. The park is envisioned to be welcoming, functional, and resilient for all community members, with a future design focused on sustainability and low maintenance. The project goals include:</p><p><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/c088d432a66c985fcbf207355733e1408fdd3ab8/original/1745961340/f1ccf92469ff2f0c96ecb214e19c4142_701%20Pocket%20Park-01.png?1745961340" style="width: 657px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></p><h2><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">What is a Pocket Park?</span></strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">A pocket park is a small, public green space&mdash;often no larger than a single vacant lot&mdash;designed to provide recreation, relaxation, and social interaction in urban or suburban settings. These parks are typically integrated into neighborhoods, downtown areas, or underutilized spaces, offering features like benches, landscaping, shade, public art, or minimal play structures.</p><h2><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">How can I get involved?</span></strong></h2><p>Stay tuned this spring and summer for community engagement events and opportunities!</p>

<h1>Join our virtual open house (see Ideas tab below)!<strong> </strong></h1><p><strong>We&rsquo;re rewriting our land use/zoning rules and need your input on &ldquo;missing middle housing&rdquo; and neighborhood-serving businesses. </strong></p><p>Should duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes be allowed on corner lots and busier collector streets (like Emma Street)? What kinds of businesses would you like to see in your neighborhood? Are there any design or operational limits you&#39;d like to suggest, like maximum size or where they should be located?</p><p><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/f37db57fa1caed3bd660e2e7b02bbbdc5bd549f3/original/1747337511/84421de682f836df8590a93b8de10d6a_Postcard-LL.jpg?1747337511" style="width: 694px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Drawing of a neighborhood with a corner cafe and homes. "></p><h1><br></h1><h1><strong>Lafayette is Rewriting its Land Use Code</strong></h1><p>The City of Lafayette is rewriting its land use code (also referred to as zoning) for the first time in nearly 40 years. The new code will be based on the community&#39;s vision for the future, as outlined in the 2021 Legacy Lafayette Comprehensive Plan. Many of the policies and strategies of the plan are best implemented through an overhaul of the City&rsquo;s development regulations.</p><p>The first code was adopted in 1967 and has been amended several times since then (with the last overhaul in 1986.) Because our code no longer aligns with the community&#39;s goals or latest planning practices, the rewrite process is now underway, with the goal of adopting the new code in 2024. The new code help ensures that new development is consistent with the community&#39;s vision and meets the needs of residents and businesses.</p><h2>What is a Land Use Code?</h2><p>A land use code is a set of regulations that govern how land can be used in a city. They are also known as a zoning code. These codes are based on a community vision for the future and are intended to encourage orderly development (typically on private property) and aid in the creation of livable, vibrant communities. A code typically includes regulations like the use, height, and location of buildings, and the location of roads, parks, and other facilities.</p><h2>What is a Form-Based Code?</h2><p>A form-based code is a type of land use regulation that focuses on the physical form and context of development, like the size, shape, and placement of buildings. Form-based codes are particularly effective at promoting walkable, mixed-use communities where people can live, work, and shop within a reasonable walking distance. Form-based codes are an alternative to conventional use-based regulations, which divide a city into different types of uses, prohibiting or encouraging residential, commercial, industrial, or other developments. The use-based approach to zoning often contributes to long distances between residential uses and desired services, which has exacerbated issues like traffic congestion and suburban sprawl. Lafayette currently has use-based regulations in place. However, the city is exploring ways to incorporate form-based elements alongside use-based regulations (i.e., a hybrid code).</p><h2>How can I get involved?</h2><p><strong>Map it!</strong><br>Check out the map below to share specific areas you love or areas that need some love. Be sure to leave a comment so we understand why.</p><p><strong>Walking Tours</strong><br>Enjoy the warming weather while partnering with city planners to organize a walking tour in your neighborhood! You know your neighborhood best and what better way to share beloved areas (or spots for improvement) than while on a stroll.<br><br><strong>Attend a Working Group Meeting</strong><br>The City formed a working group to monitor and provide input to staff on draft code language and community engagement strategies. The group consists of the Planning Commission, representatives from City boards, and residents with varying backgrounds and interests. Meetings are held at 6 p.m. during the second Wednesday of the month, every 1 - 3 months. Meeting dates will be added in the upcoming dates list on the right side of this page.</p><p><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/16488c4306b742941527baf1fe4357796ca864a8/original/1744210180/a7b81bc4e810961febf021745927ac1b_WebSchedule.jpg?1744210180" style="width: 1050px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Land Use Code Rewrite schedule showing three phases (project restart, technical draft, and public review and zoning map) being complete by March 2026"></p><p><br></p>

Land Use/Zoning Code

<h1><span style="font-size: 20px; color: red;">New Regulations Approved</span></h1><p>In 2023, the City of Lafayette expanded the use of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) citywide. Previously, ADUs were only permitted in the Old Town Residential zoning district. The City recently approved further updates to eliminate parking requirements for ADUs, remove certain design standards, and refine where ADUs are allowed.</p><p>Final regulations are located in the document library to the right.</p><p>Need more information? Please feel free to contact staff or schedule a meeting with City staff by <a class="external" href="https://outlook.office365.com/owa/calendar/AccessoryDwellingUnits@lafayetteco.gov/bookings/" target="_self">selecting a date and time through our online scheduler <span class="sr-only">(External link)</span></a> or leave a comment or question below.</p><h2>What is an Accessory Dwelling Unit?</h2><p>An Accessory Dwelling Unit (or &quot;ADU&quot;) is a small independent living space on the same lot as a primary residence. It typically includes a kitchen and bathroom. These are sometimes referred to as mother-in-law suites or carriage houses. Both detached and attached/interior ADUs are allowed in most areas that allow single-unit, detached homes. See the handout in the documents library for more information about current regulations.</p><h2 id="how-can-i-get-involved--4"><img src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-us-california/a466ce5254180db071bad7026421c798fa4a9a1b/original/1694200829/a2193fe5afb21a1d6ab7b3274de79976_LL_Examples.jpg?1694200829" style="width: 701px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"></h2><p><br></p>
