Creating regulations that help forward-thinking communities thrive. 

Communities are constantly changing and evolving. To assure growth that’s both smart and strategic, regulations need to be examined and adjusted from time to time. RPI builds bridges between community comprehensive plans and the codes that carry out those goals.

We craft conceptual maps and narratives to guide updating land use codes and zoning to reflect the community’s vision. Our team can also rewrite regulations to be integrated, user-friendly, clear and consistent. As with all RPI engagements, we welcome community input. Communicating with the public accelerates consensus, interest and involvement from local leaders.

Past Projects:
City of Douglas, WY; City of Leadville & Lake County, CO; Town of Carbondale, CO

CASE STUDIES

City of Douglas, Wyoming
RPI Consulting conducted a thorough rewrite of the current land use and development regulations with an emphasis on clarity, user-friendliness and completeness. The updated code consolidates and reorganizes land use regulations and integrates clear standards and procedures to fill gaps that have perplexed staff for decades. We incorporated the context of regional and local market opportunities, resulting in a code that encourages the right type of growth in appropriate places.
