MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Zoning Commission, Mayor, and City Council
FROM: Caleb Hood, Current Planning Manager
RE: UDC Text Amendment 44
This memo is intended to explain and outline the fourth request by City Staff to amend the City's
Unified Development Code (UDC). Since its implementation on September 15, 2005, Staff has
requested three other amendments to the UDC. Staff has been tracking additional, specific
sections of the Unified Development Code (UDC) that need to be amended for the UDC to
function efficiently. Some of these sections proposed for amendment include parking standards,
signs, hours of operation in the L-O and C-N zoning districts, wireless communication facilities,
and provisions for UDC violations. Additionally, staff is recommending two new commercial
zoning districts, Mixed Employment and High Density Employment to implement new land use
designations recommended in the Ten Mile Interchange Specific Area Plan. In summary, the
changes proposed in this memo represent changes that City Staff believes will make the
implementation and use of the UDC more understandable and enforceable. Planning Department
Staff is proposing to amend certain UDC sections as follows:
Section Pro osed Text Change
11-1-12 D. The city may withhold any approval and/or permit for any and all proposed activities or uses on
any real Drope Y with )utstan Jing violations of this Title except that such approval and/or permit
shall not be withheld where such withholding would advers lly affect health safety or the general
public welfare.
