Ordinance No. 642

Ordinance No. 642 proposes to amend the Community Development Code to clarify sidewalk standards in Transit Oriented Districts. The ordinance would also amend the Community Development Code and Pedestrian Element of the 2020 Transportation Plan to reference a design handbook (Pedestrian Enhancements Design Guidelines) that was developed by the county to provide guidance for pedestrian amenities such as wide sidewalks, landscaping, pedestrian-scale lighting and street furniture. The ordinance also proposes to add a strategy to the Bicycle Element of the 2020 Transportation Plan to provide for the possibility of signing certain low-speed/low traffic volume streets as bicycle routes.
