Is there any kind of discussion in place for this kind of change in Cleveland? I remember attending a few events in 2019 where Code Studio came in and did some work about rezoning Detroit & Lake Avenue, but haven't heard anything since. This is the second crack we've made at reforming our zoning code since 2010. Zoning seems to just be off the table in terms of political lifts, but this seems like a good step in the right direction. Thanks for the article.
Revisions like this usually occur during broader code rewrites like adopting a form-based code or new citywide plan (see Buffalo or Minneapolis). I am trying to communicate the challeges of this policy with the hope of building understanding and inspiring a political base necessary to make this happen, either independently or as a part of a new citywide plan or code rewrite. We need a strong political voice to make this happen no matter what.

I appreciate that, you should consider running for council. We need more planners in politics.
