The City of Lowell (referred herein as “the City”) is seeking a qualified consultant to assist staff in a comprehensive analysis and rewrite of the City’s Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 290 of the City Code and amendment of the Zoning Map. The project will include a review of the recently adopted Lowell Forward Comprehensive Plan, the recently adopted Lowell Housing Production Plan (HPP), the existing Zoning Ordinance (adopted in 2004, as amended), Urban Renewal Plans, and other applicable sections of the City Code. The consultant will work in partnership with the Department of Planning and Development (DPD) in both a technical and public engagement capacity. This initiative will result in an ordinance that is user-friendly, and promotes efficiency, consistency, and predictability of the land development process in the City of Lowell.
