Hi, for our community here in Franklin, NC we were successful is getting our
town to adopt a new Traditional Neighborhood zoning ordinance that would
work very well for cohousing. Perhaps your community would be open to new
zoning?

I hope this helps. All the best,

Shadowlake Village, in Blacksburg, VA was able to obtain a PUD rezoning to
build 33 homes on 5 acres of a 33-acre property that was previously zoned
R-1  (i.e. for 33 single family homes on 1 acre lots).  Under the PUD zoning

the community includes a  4-unit "townhouse" and 9 duplexes - and, joyfully,

was able to save acres and acres of tall trees which provide wonderful cool
deep shade.

Shadowlake Village, in Blacksburg, VA - where the place seems almost
deserted (and unusually quiet) because most all of the kids and their
parents are away.
