John Stroud/Post Independent The town of Carbondale has begun the process of updating its eight-year-old comprehensive land-use plan, and is looking to the community for input. The town completely rewrote what’s commonly referred to as a Comp Plan in 2013, with a focus on preserving small-town character but also fostering the kind of mixed-use, more dense types of residential and commercial development that has been occurring in recent years. Rather than a full rewrite, Carbondale leaders are...

Streatery guidelines, policy approved for Shawnee.

The Shawnee News-Star Last week, the subject of Steateries appeared to be a bone of contention for a couple Shawnee City Commissioners as the city continues to implement elements that align with its Comprehensive Plan. Shawnee City Commissioners Bob Weaver (Ward 2) and Ben Salter (Ward 6) voiced opposition to hindering any Main Street parking, which Streateries could potentially do.

DC Council has been working for years to update the Comprehensive Plan, DC’s enormous zoning and land-use document. On Tuesday, those years of work concluded in a unanimous vote on an update to the document, which dates back to 2006.

Density advocates (including some...

The Shawnee News-Star This week Mayor Ed Bolt named his appointees to the citys new Arts and Culture Commission established in March. “As emphasized in the Comp Plan, the necessity for public art in our community dovetails with the enhancement of our community image, civic health, equity and economic development,” City Planner Rebecca Blaine said when the commission was being created. The current focus on promoting public arts stems from goals included in the citys 2040 Comprehensive Plan t...

Like many local advocacy organizations, we’re waiting for Mayor Muriel Bowser’s budget to drop. It’s likely to come out May 27, to account for as-of-yet unreleased guidance on federal relief funds. But before budget season is the DC Council’s performance oversight process, during which councilmembers question the agencies they oversee. Oversight is, arguably, just as important as the budget. Councilmembers typically question agencies about the work they do, how they do it, how they deli...

When ANC 3C passed a resolution this year in support of more density along Connecticut Avenue in Cleveland Park, it was a significant moment. The neighborhood is a textbook example of a wealthy area that has preserved its exclusivity through low-density zoning, which largely makes illegal anything but single-family homes—especially on residential streets. The city’s population has grown over the last two decades, and is likely to continue to do so. Even if COVID stunts the inmigration growt...
