Overview: In 2019, the Planning Commission submitted a petition requesting information pertaining to bicycle and pedestrian payments-in-lieu to assist them in determining if and when to grant a developer’s request to be waived from implementing such improvements. Planning staff compiled data related to past payments-in-lieu and found that there is not clear guidance on allowing and determining payments-in-lieu in the Land Use Management Ordinance (LUMO). This text amendment will specify the circumstances under which a payment-in-lieu may be made and how they shall be determined.
Staff will present this text amendment with two other proposed changes to the Code of Ordinances related to bicycle and pedestrian safety in Town.
