Welcome to the Gold Hill Code Review!
The Gold Hill Zoning Ordinance (Title 17 of the Gold Hill Municipal Code, also described as the “Zoning Code”) guides development of Gold Hill, based on the adopted Comprehensive Plan. Zoning codes regulate what can and can’t be done on a particular piece of property – they influence where we live, where we work and how we get around. Zoning can be used to help attract new businesses, encourage the construction of new housing and protect natural resources. Because zoning codes have a significant impact on how we build and shape our community, they are an important tool in fostering equitable and sustainable growth.
Ultimately, a zoning code reflects the conditions of the time it was written, promoting certain past ideas of our needs, desires and values. In order to preserve the vitality and efficiency of such a document, the City of Gold Hill pursued a technical grant funded by the Department of Land Conservation and Development with the intent to perform a comprehensive update of the municipal code. Overall, the goals for the code update are to:
- Modernize our zoning code to reflect our community’s current and future needs, values, and aspirations.
- Address modern day issues identified by Staff and the Planning Commission;
- Align with State and Federal Laws; and,
- Provide a user-friendly document through organization, clear and simplified language, and the use of tables and graphics;
We invite your constructive feedback and comments to ensure that this living document remains representative of Gold Hill.
