    Omaha, NE

    The 2022 Code Audit for the City of Omaha, prepared by the Congress for the New Urbanism and AARP, identifies barriers in Omaha's zoning code that prevent vibrant, walkable neighborhoods and affordable housing development. The audit analyzes the city's Master Plan and zoning regulations to pinpoint nine specific code provisions that could be modified to encourage "Missing Middle" housing types (duplexes to small apartment buildings) and urban redevelopment, rather than requiring a complete code overhaul. The recommendations aim to address unintended consequences of postwar zoning codes that have led to dispersed, low-density development, underutilized Main Streets, and car-dependent communities.
