Integrate Zoning Regulations into the Code of Ordinances
Table of Contents - Zoning Integration
Why Most Zoning Regulations are Maintained Separately from the Code of Ordinances
Formatting conventions typically don't align
Only half of all codes of ordinances across the nation have codified the zoning, subdivision, sign, flood protection or unified development ordinances within the code.
Why do you think that is?
While the content of the code is typically text – fitting easily within the conventional framework, and its format and numbering sequence – zoning rarely conforms to this rigid structure.
ZONING IS SIMPLY A DIFFERENT ANIMAL.
It often requires a vastly different format that rarely matches that of the code.
This is especially true if you have a form-based code, design guidelines or a graphically rich zoning ordinance.
The Solution: Now you can Integrate Your Zoning Ordinance into the Code
The long-tenured planners and zoning authors of our parent company, Kendig Keast Collaborative, specifically designed this drafting, publishing and codification platform to support the integration of documents with highly complex formatting.
This means that the fully editable zoning text, complete with its tables and graphics, can be integrated and published with every other title in the code. It can be updated, amended and codified in the same manner as the rest of the code.
The result is a completely cohesive, uniformly codified, one-stop shop for the entire code of ordinances…including the zoning code.
Clerks and attorneys will appreciate the ease of use and management. Planners, engineers and economic development staff will love the engaging, user-friendly public interface and robust zoning tools.
the historic conundrum
- Force the zoning ordinance to adhere to the code format.
- - OR -
- Silo the zoning ordinance apart from the rest of the code, and settle for a link or static PDF image.
What if they could be published and codified together on a single platform for easy access and cross-referencing?
Now, with enCodePlus, you can integrate highly complex and diversely formatted documents into one platform!
This changes everything.
