HFR News - The Sense of Place Committee

The Sense of Place Committee (SOP) is a joint project of Historic Flat Rock, Inc. and the Village of Flat Rock. The Committee's objective is to revise and update the Village's zoning ordinances to guide future development and to protect the homes and open spaces that make Flat Rock a special place to live. HFR and the Village have committed to sharing the substantial cost of this very important and timely undertaking.

The Committee has completed its draft revisions to the ordinances and sent them to the Village Planning Board for review. The Board will then make its recommendations to the Village Council. Public hearings should take place and the proposed ordinances will be reviewed by citizens, landowners, developers and other interested parties. Finally the ordinances will be sent to the Village Council for final review and approval. The work of the Committee should be concluded before this summer.
