FATTAH: Zoning Code Revision

My Administration will seek to professionalize the city’s zoning practices, and build a set of common development regulations that will clarify and simplify zoning practices and reduce the need for variances. I also will seek to end the Councilmanic privilege that allows District Councilmembers to prevent votes on zoning questions in their jurisdictions, believing that these questions should get a vote in City Council.

How would you ensure that you can persuade the district council members to take a city-wide approach that takes into account the overall good of the city rather than responding to the narrow interests of the voters in their district? Would you, for example, hold public forums throughout the city to explain your overall planning goals for the city in order to foster an understanding of how a city-wide approach can benefit neighborhoods as well?
