Farragut residents looking to get a handle on the ins and outs of zoning laws have the chance to get schooled come the end of July. The Town of Farragut Community Development Department is throwing open its doors for a Planning and Zoning Introduction workshop; this educational affair is set to kick off at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, July 31, at the Farragut Community Center located at 239 Jamestowne Blvd. It's a prime opportunity for homeowners to get up to speed on just how zoning and land use provisions play out in their community.
Breaking it down seems to be the order of the day for this workshop, as it promises to give folks an overview of the zoning terrain, and tackle how these rules are applied in the day-to-day—plus, it's a chance for homeowners who might be tangled in the often confusing web of zoning and property-related quandaries to seek some much-needed assistance. And because community dialogue is key, participants will also have the opportunity to air their views on development-related issues that might be weighing on their hearts and minds.
One of the perks of this workshop is its price tag—or rather, the lack thereof. That's right, the town is waving any fees, making this an inclusive event for anyone interested without needing to spend a dime. If you're planning to waltz in, no need to ring up ahead; registration is not on the agenda. For those in need of more information or perhaps looking to get a bit of a preview on what's in store, the Community Development Director Mark Shipley is the go-to person; drop him a line at [email protected].
The Town of Farragut, that little slice of Southeastern paradise known for its sterling schools and neighborhoods safe enough to make you think twice about locking your doors, has been on the map since 1980, they've been keeping standards high when it comes to development, ensuring that growth and community charm go hand in hand. The official announcement from the town emphasizes that residents are integral to maintaining the high quality of life in Farragut, and this workshop is but a piece of that ongoing puzzle.
