In this post, I discuss an idea that will modernize our zoning regulations, promote more sustainable and environmentally friendly development patterns, and enhance the resiliency of our neighborhoods in the face of increasingly frequent, severe weather events: abolishing minimum parking requirements.

There are ample funding opportunities to support the investments that need to be made in promoting our Town’s infrastructure.

Investing in these technological tools isn't just about preparing for the next storm; it's about building a more secure and sustainable future for all of us in Avon.

Developing a robust, comprehensive hazard plan isn't just about preparing for the worst; it's about proactively building a safer, more resilient, and more sustainable Avon for all of us.

By strategically implementing a combination of these planning and zoning regulations, Avon can significantly reduce stormwater runoff, protect water quality, mitigate flooding, and create a more resilient and sustainable community for the future.

In this series of posts, I will delve into various approaches that can be taken to build resiliency in the face of these more frequently occurring severe weather events.

How can we make the planning and zoning process more approachable for everyone?
