Thanks Jerome, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only person who's noticed a lack of definitions in ordinances.
I really enjoyed reading the September/October 2014 thread on definitions started by Ramon Saurez. I may end up using the ultimate consensus of that thread as the basis of a definition for our code (or to modify whatever ordinance definitions I can turn up on this site or elsewhere over the next few days): *"Calls itself a coworking space. · Has a fully dedicated space for coworking (not just a few hours or a cafeteria shared with patrons). · Has an active community of members, not just clients. * *· Has a facilitator dedicated to connect the members and build trust among them, engaging in activities to build the coworking community. * *· Treats coworkers as 1st class clients. * *· Promotes and encourages collaboration, interaction and serendipity.* *· Offers one or many kinds of membership (full or part time) * * · Open decision-making: sets explicit, transparent, public limits on who can be a member and how they can participate; does not have implicit or hidden rules or processes for determining or excluding potential members."* Also, thanks for the discussion of parking. That's one of the trickiest things to regulate when a land use has little track record in a region.
