April 2019 - The Homewood Downtown Code draft one was released to the public for critique. During the week of April 23-25, 2019, the consultant team presented the draft code, collected community edits, and answered questions about how the code will operate. The team met with members of the Homewood community, downtown property owners, developers, builders, architects, the Chamber of Commerce, City Council, Planning Commission, and city staff for extensive working sessions.
January 2019 - The process has begun to update the zoning and signage code for the downtown area, in accordance with the Downtown Homewood Master Plan recommendations. View the recommendations report below, and related Homewood Star articles.
