What is the Audubon Development Plan Update Project?

- The current project includes inventory and analysis of:

- A review of current New Community District (NCD) zoning districts and regulations

- Recommendations for revisions to the Audubon Development Plan and for amendments to the NCD zoning
- Plan recommendations can be incorporated into the Town’s Comprehensive Plan
Why update the Audubon Development Plan and Zoning?
- To identify anticipated demand for future residential, commercial and office development
- To align future land use plan with current desired development objectives
- To identify and rectify outdated zoning code standards
- To increase success of the Audubon Community and revitalize its central corridors
