City of Lawrence proposed revision to Land Development Code – comments and concerns

The City of Lawrence recently launched an effort to overhaul its Land Development Code (LDC). The LDC is the set of regulations that guide how development should occur in our community. The draft LCD is still open for public comment.

The City’s proposed LDC can be found at: https://lawrenceldc.konveio.com/

The Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods (LAN) has raised concerns regarding the proposed code. Phil Englehart, a resident of Pinkney neighborhood, prepared a statement of concerns in response to discussions of the LDC at the recent LAN meeting. The purpose of the statement is to clarify four issues in the LDC that could impact established neighborhoods such as Pinkney.

Phil’s statement regarding the LDC can be found here: P-Englehart LDC Comments 5_17_24
