Cheney residents have a chance to look into the city's future landscape and offer opinions to help shape what they want to see. The city is conducting several Visual Preference Surveys the week of June 18 – 22 as part of the Unified Development Code update process.
These surveys have been used by many governments when making zoning code changes. Participants are shown a series of pictures that depicts various building and infrastructure styles. The participants then score what they've seen from best to worst.
The pictures and responses are grouped into several categories like streetscapes, residential neighborhoods, and downtown business areas, to name a few. The data from the surveys is then used by city planners and community partners to update the language of development codes to reflect what current members of the community want to see.
General public sessions take place at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Monday, June 18; 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 19; 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Thursday, June 21 and 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Friday, June 22 at the Wren Pierson Community Center at 615 Fourth St.
