Summary:
This Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) update was presented as a report item on November 5, 2019. These updates include items such as 1) identifying screening requirements for rooftop and mechanical equipment as well as trash enclosures, 2) codifying an existing practice to ensure that vegetation is planted in all landscape buffers, 3) increasing the City’s awareness of tree removal of large areas of woodland, 4) ensuring that new industrial developments provide for all truck trailer parking on-site, and 5) placing all lighting standards in one section of code and including updates discussed from the architecture chapter updates.
During the meeting on November 5, Staff explained that the new language pertaining to truck trailer parking would apply to new applications for development or redevelopment of existing sites. Staff is recommending this update as the City has been experiencing higher volumes of truck traffic trailers parking on public streets and highway ramps as distribution warehouses are commonly gated and have previously provided limited access for deliveries. We have worked with several existing industry stakeholders on the proposed language and they are aware of the issues this update will address.
Attachment A is a draft ordinance with the proposed updates to Chapter 18.30, 18.50 and 18.90 of the UDO as presented on November 5, 2019. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the UDO updates associated with UDO19-0005 on October 14, 2019 by a vote of 8-0.
