County to Consider Development Consultant
Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer
Anderson County Council is expected to approve and agreement with CodeWright Planners to help revise and clarify the county’s development standards for new home construction and subdivisions as part of Tuesday’s meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the historic courthouse downtown.
Council has been working on revising the standards for some time, and heard a proposal from the company at the March 12 meeting.
CodeWright has worked with multiple counties and towns in North and South Carolina - including Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, Mills River, Weldon in North Carolina - to overhaul and clarify development standards. Their customization of unified development ordinances and zoning codes includes simplifying the language, more graphically driven design, an intuitive document structure that is easy to understand and continuous improvement.
Council will also consider a new agreement with Hope Missions of the Upstate to share data and other information to help better serve the homeless population in the county.
