Discussion regarding proposed amendments to Chapters 18.20, 18.30, 18.50, and 18.60 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO19-0002). Planning Commission recommends approval 7-0. (10 min) .

Body

________________________________________________________________________________

Summary:

The City has engaged Christopher Shires with Confluence for an update and rewrite of the City’s architectural standards and requirements found in Chapter 18.15 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO19-0001). If the proposed updates are adopted, many additional sections of the UDO will be impacted as there are a host of sections which discuss and reference architecture requirements and expectations for development. To ensure that new or updated terminology, references, and processes are consistent and coordinated accurately, these additional supporting chapters and sections require updating. The impacted chapters include Chapters 18.20, 18.30, 18.50, and 18.60.

 

The Public Hearing for UDO19-0002 was held before the Planning Commission on July 22, 2019. There was no public comment nor discussion among the Planning Commission regarding these updates, and the Planning Commission recommended approval 7-0.

 

Since the Planning Commission public hearing on July 22, additional minor updates to these proposed amendments have been made. This involved the removal of unnecessary section references at the end of dimensional standards tables in Chapter 18.20, and addition of a cross reference for the reader in addition to minor housekeeping items.
