<br /> · Modifications to m~dules, as needed [and [20] copies of a
<br /> technical memorandum on development standards].
<br />Comment: Consultants~and others often borrow development
<br />standards from other colmmunities' codes without independently
<br />evaluating or analyzing ~hether they are appropriate to the local
<br />government for which they are preparing the new zoning code.
<br />The optional requiremelat of a technical memorandum would
<br />provide the basis for proposed development standards. For
<br />example, the consultant may indicate the source for parking
<br />requirements if they are!based on parking generation studies
<br />completed locally or nationally. Proposed setback and other bulk
<br />requirements may be ba;sed on actual analysis of the existing
<br />character of fully developed neighborhoods or business districts.
<br />Such a technical memoiandum may be of use later in any legal
<br />challenge to the zoning code's provisions.

<br />Comment: This task is optional, but permit and application fees
