MORE SESSION DETAILS

Why have zoning administrators? What is their role? Are they needed in today’s cities? What lies ahead for zoning administrators? Join a panel of zoning administrators from the cities of Los Angeles, Denver, and Washington, D.C., to discuss the roles, day-to-day activities, and challenges of a being a zoning administrator. Our panel will review the role of the zoning administrator in overseeing what is still the primary tool of implementing plans, the zoning ordinance. Learn how zoning ordinances, which were originally designed to regulate uses and building envelopes, are now being tasked to implement affordable-housing, green-building, and historic-preservation requirements. Explore the origin of the zoning administrator position — and how zoning administrators interact with planners, land-use lawyers, and the development sector.
