DESCRIPTION
Documents from the Downtown Development Workshop held on March 26, 2014 at the Century Club Ballroom in downtown Muskegon. The workshop was meant to give the public a chance to learn about the form-based codes the City of Muskegon wants to add to its zoning ordinances and to share their thoughts and make recommendations.

MUSKEGON FORM BASED CODEPROPOSED CONTEXT AREASACTIVITY 1
The Context Area Map is an essential element of the Form Based Code. The
map depicts areas of common character and conveys intensity of development.
Areas of the City with the greatest intensity of development are red and located
at the core of the City. Radiating from the core are areas of less intensity.
Intensity, from an urban planning perspective, can be expressed in the FORM
of the building. Use the PROPOSED BUILDING TYPES and PROPOSED
CONTEXT AREAS charts and help us modify this map by doing the following:
Review the context area descriptions and desired building form
Locate the context areas on this map of Downtown
Consider the boundaries of the context areas
Use a colored pen to adjust the boundaries
Draw retail-only portions of streets with a red line
Feel free to write on the map or use sticky notes to help explain your rationale
1.2.3.4.5.
