VIRTUAL Program

Join the Delaware Sierra Club and James Wilson (Bike Delaware), Jonathan Kirch (Environmental and Public Health Advocate), and Peggy Schultz (League of Women Voters of Delaware) as we dig deep into the issue of sprawl and how new legislation may (or may not) be the answer!

We will have our first three-way discussion panel on one of our live streams, and boy are you in for a treat with this one. One of the most hotly debated topics in the environmental and land use space, sprawl versus density. Join us for a lively discussion on Zoom where you can participate in the chat and suggest questions to be pulled into the conversation!

General Assembly:

House Bill 19 - Osienski
AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 2 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO COMPLETE COMMUNITY ENTERPRISE DISTRICTS.
This Act revises the requirements for the shape of a Complete Community Enterprise Districts (“District”) to maximize the use of transit, walking, and bicycling by residents and employees. Specifically, this Act does all of the following: 1. Eliminates the minimum size. 2. Requires the District to contain more than 1 parcel and that part of at least 1 parcel be within a ½ mile from a bus or rail stop or station. 3. Requires the District to include adjacent neighborhoods within a ½ mile from a bus or rail stop or station. 4. Prohibits a district from being in the shape of a linear corridor and requires that each parcel of land in the District is zoned to maximize the use of transit, walking, and bicycling. 5. Requires that a District be part of a master development plan that maximizes the use of transit, walking, and bicycling by residents and employees. This Act also repeals the definition of "isoperimetric quotient" because the term is being removed and replaced with paragraphs (3), (7), and (9) of § 2104 of Title 2, in the revised requirements for a Complete Community Enterprise District.
