GIVE ZONING CODE UPDATE COMMENTS AND IDEAS VIA THE ONLINE MAPPING TOOL
Mapping Tool commenting period extnded through May 24
Our Zoning Code Update is underway.  Current pandemic protocols prevent traditional in-person workshops at this time but the Interactive Mapping Tool on our Zoning Code Update website provides a virtual workshop that’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week through May 24.
 
To let us know your thoughts about how and where to implement zoning changes that will best meet the needs defined in our Comprehensive Plan and Active Transportation Plan.

• Visit www.townofpittsford.org/zoningupdate
• Scroll down on the home page or click the "Your Input" tab and click "View the Map."
• Make your comments – and give your input on comments made by others – by dragging and placing a marker icon using our Zoning Code Update Interactive Mapping Tool.
• Once you place a marker icon, a comment box opens for you to add a comment to that location on the map.
• Comment categories include Residential, Commercial & Mixed Use, Canal, and General.
• Comments can also be submitted to zoningupdate@townofpittsford.org or mailed to Doug DeRue, Town of Pittsford, 11 South Main Street, Pittsford, NY 14534; please indicate whether you are a Town or Village resident.

How to use the Pittsford Zoning Code Update Interactive Mapping Tool:
 
Sidebar Tabs
Click on the sidebar tabs located to the left to participate in each activity by topic area. As you switch from one sidebar tab to another, the map display and commenting tools will change.
 
Navigating the Map
To pan to a different location, click and drag on the map using your computer mouse (or finger for touch screens). To zoom in and out on the map, use the scrolling wheel on your mouse (or two fingers for touch screen), or use the zoom slider on the right side of the map.
 
Using Markers
Comments can be added to the map by clicking and dragging the marker icons located above the map to your desired location on the map.  If using a mobile device, click "Add Comment," choose the marker icon you want to leave, pan and zoom to the correct location, and click "Place Marker Here." Then, fill out the comment box that pops up after the marker is dropped.
 
You can also view and interact with existing comments by clicking on the comment markers on the map.
 
Please remember, the commenting period via the interactive map will close on May 24.
