Since 2017, the New Castle County Department of Land Use, has sought input from transportation experts from the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), the Wilmington Area Planning Council (WILMAPCO), and the community to examine how travel capacity is reviewed and how its guidelines and regulations are applied. Review of these regulations to ensure community character and direct economic growth have been central themes of this discussion.
After a thorough discussion with interested parties, the Department of Land Use has asked County Council to consider legislation which will focus how we review and apply development applications.
This ordinance was also considered by the Planning Board as Application number 2019-0050-T. The Department of Land Use's presentation at the Board's Business Meeting on April 16, 2019 may be viewed here or below.
