Specifications include, but are not limited to: The last major revisions to the City of Clarksville Zoning Ordinance were November 4, 2010 and the Montgomery County Zoning Resolution were December 14, 2009. These updates comprised a comprehensive overhaul designed to modernize the zoning regulations. This update addressed a wide range of land use and development issues to better align with contemporaneous planning practices and community needs. Over the years, a multitude of smaller updates have been made to address emerging issues, comply with new regulations, and incorporate stakeholder feedback. However, with the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, it has become clear that a renewed realignment of both the City of Clarksville Zoning Ordinance and the Montgomery County Zoning Resolution is necessary. The updated zoning documents will focus on promoting efficient land use, mixed-use development, and housing affordability, reflecting the core objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. By further integrating residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, the new zoning codes will support improvements toward complete and walkable neighborhoods. The proposed amendments should enhance land use efficiency whilst reducing travel times to jobs, services, and daily needs, thereby improving the overall quality of life for residents. The project consultant should explore opportunities for right-sized density around key nodes, supporting inclusive communities and addressing various housing needs. Toward this purpose, the selected consultant will be tasked with recommending updates to relevant provisions of the subdivision ordinance such as, but not limited to, requirements for site plans, landscaping, and procedures.
