CodeNEXT final draft pushed back to February

Two weeks before the original Nov. 28 release date, city staff officially announced yesterday that the final draft of CodeNEXT (the one produced by staff and consultants, at least) will not be published until Feb. 12 of next year. The news came in a memo put out in the morning by Interim Assistant City Manager Joe Pantalion, which said that in order for the drafters to meaningfully consider and incorporate feedback from draft two, they would need more time. The memo asserts that while this delay may change the near-future specifics of the review timeline, the drafters are confident that they will still be able to put a final product in front of City Council by the previously planned April deadline.
