Update 6/10/2020: In case you missed the May 26th NCC Comprehensive Plan zoom meeting, we've made Mike Hoffman's presentation slides available online.

The LWVNCC Land Use/Transportation Committee invites you to its meeting on May 26, 2020 at 1 pm. We are hosting Mike Hoffman from Tarabiscos Grosso LLP to discuss the NCC Comprehensive Development Plan and the Unified Development Code.

The Land Use Department of New Castle County is gearing up to present its draft Comprehensive Development Plan (Comp Plan) update. By law, the Comp Plan has to be updated every 10 years.
 
Questions this meeting will cover...
    • What is the Comp Plan, and how does it relate to the Unified Development Code (UDC) for the County?
    • Word on the street is that our UDC encourages sprawl. Could this be true? If so, what changes can we make to the new Comp Plan to put a stop to that practice?
    • What other changes will we want to support as we review the new Comp Plan update?
    • What are the political realities involved in passing a new Comp Plan update?
We are happy to invite you to a Zoom meeting with the knowledgeable Michael Hoffman, of Tarabicos Grosso, LLP, (law firm of Larry Tarabicos that does a lot of land use work). Mike will join us on Tuesday, May 26th, 1-2:30 pm, via Zoom. His comments will be followed by a question and answer session.
