05/02/19 P/Z MTG
Bill - thank you for your response but we are still not seeing the P&Z Commission's recommendation the same as you.
believe you are correct in your email statement below that this was to be brought back with the "2019 UDC Changes"
On behalf of DevCo LLC we would like to pull our R-15 dimensional standards UDC code text amendment.
Reasoning for our action
It was clearly told to the P&Z Commission that our developer driving UDC Code amendment could easily be put with the
City's UDC code changes and that was the action that the Commission direct in December. Staff also noted it could be
back to the P&Z Commission by January 2019. 1 had a project that was going to be stopped as we where well aware that
the City's UDC code changes where not going to be on that stated schedule. I re -designed our housing product to fit
within the missing components of the current R15 code. So we do not see any need to move forward with this code
amendment.
I will be at the P&Z hearing tonight if I need to explain our position to the Commission Members.

Jim,
Prior to updating the staff report, I reviewed the public record. The Commission's direction was to
circulate the proposed changes with the UDC Focus Group to solicit their feedback on the requested
changes to the R-15 dimensional standards and continue the project until such time as the City brought
forth the 2019 UDC changes. I haven't received any new concerns with the requested change. I have
updated the original staff report that I prepared because you initiated the change and paid a fee.
Amending the staff report and placing commentary as to why it was modified and continued is the best
way to keep an accurate record and have the project come to completion.

Bill - is this a separate action. I thought we where told by the p&z commission to put this in the UDC
amendment that is also on going. My thoughts is this was not to be a separate time any longer. What
am I missing.
Thank you.
