The steering committee working on new rules for where and how Lawrence should grow is getting plenty of feedback from members of the public — about topics as diverse as density, downtown development and the fear of change. Since last August, the city has been in the process of updating the Land Development Code, which dictates city growth along with changes that could affect the aesthetics and function of existing neighborhoods and commercial areas, for the first time since 2006. The Land Development Code Steering Committee has now passed the halfway point of a series of community input meetings taking place this week to gather input about the first revised section (or “module”) of the code, which is related to zoning districts and uses. By the time the steering committee met late Thursday afternoon, there’d been six such meetings, with more yet to come on Friday.
