An evaluation of Jefferson County’s Rezoning review criteria was requested by the County’s Planning and Zoning staff for unintended racial and socioeconomic biases.  The project consisted of a literature review, a review of best practices in action, an analysis of Rezoning cases, and a review of language usage in zoning policies. A recommendation framework was then developed to suggest changes to the County’s existing development review criteria.
