Zoning Summit
Thursday, November 9, 2006
7:00 pm to 9:30 pm
Silver Room
Best Western Inn, Moscow, Idaho
It's called Catch-22. The Moscow City Council hears a steady
procession of petitions to make the
comprehensive plan comply with zoning districts which are designed to
accommodate a planned
development. The hearings are governed by laws which require the
opposite: the project must
comply with the zoning which must comply with the plan. Trying to
administering one system
with the procedures for the other isn't working for either the
developers or the community. To
solve this problem, Moscow needs to decide which approach is best for
us—what is in the code
or in practice?
On Thursday, November 9th, the Palouse Center for Conflict
Management, Inc. will conduct a
Zoning Summit is to ask that question. It will be from 7:00 PM to
9:30 PM in the Silver Room
of the Best Western in Moscow, Idaho. The workshop will introduce
different approaches to
managing development and try to reach a consensus as to which system
the participants prefer.
The results will be presented to the Moscow City Council for
consideration during the upcoming
rewrite of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code.
The summit is sponsored by area community members, initiated by
Moscow resident Kit Craine,
and led by facilitators from the Palouse Center for Conflict
Management, Inc., a community
mediation center. Speakers will be: Steven J. Hollenhorst, one of the
co-principle investigators
for the Building Sustainable Communities: A New University and
Community Partnership
initiative at the University of Idaho; Rich Levengood, City Manager
of Breckenridge, Colorado
when their 30-year old non-traditional zoning approach was developed
and instituted, and Kit
Craine, local systems advocate. For further information, contact Kit
