Title 17C Land Use Standards
Chapter 17C.123 Form Based Code Zones
Section 17C.123.010 Purpose
The form-based zoning categories implement the centers and corridors goals and policies and land use map designations of the comprehensive plan. This form-based code (FBC) is designed to foster an economically vibrant, walkable, mixed-use environment along the Hamilton Street corridor within the boundaries of the code. This code regulates land development by setting careful and coherent controls on building form, coupled with performance-based parameters relative to building use and density. This greater emphasis on physical form is intended to produce safe, attractive and enjoyable public spaces, including a healthy mix of uses.
The FBC is a pilot program and is configured as a plug-in set of regulations, replacing existing zoning and design guidelines within the FBC Limits. This pilot program is consistent with the Logan Identify Plan. All code provisions expressed herein present development requirements unless otherwise indicated, including information preceded by the word “Guidelines.” Additional, specific City of Spokane standards may be required as referenced.
