OneCode Diagnostic Presentation - September 24, 2026

The Municipality of Princeton held a public presentation on September 24, 2026, to discuss the OneCode zoning code diagnostic report, which is the first phase of a three-phase zoning code rewrite project. The consultants from Camios presented the proposed framework for consolidating and modernizing the borough and township zoning codes into a single, user-friendly land development code. Key topics included simplifying zoning districts, creating a global use matrix, updating residential and commercial standards, and considering the elimination of parking minimums to better align with current development patterns and environmental concerns. The presentation emphasized maintaining neighborhood character, improving predictability, and streamlining administrative procedures. Public comments focused heavily on concerns about potential impacts on neighborhood density, parking availability, and preserving community character, with residents requesting detailed modeling and data to understand the effects of proposed changes. The consultants encouraged written feedback by December 1, 2026, and outlined plans to draft and release a public draft code in early 2027 for further review and input.
