Form Based Code Advisory Working Group (FBC AWG)

The County Manager created the Form Based Code Advisory Working Group (FBC AWG) to ensure the Columbia Pike Form Based Code (FBC) and the Neighborhoods Form Based Code (N-FBC) provide clear direction for implementing the vision for Columbia Pike. The group brings technical community resources to the review of proposed FBC/N-FBC amendments and development proposals. The FBC AWG also helps keep community members informed of ongoing discussions and projects.
