permitted and accessory uses in the commercial, industrial,and traditional neighborhood districts.
4. UDC 11-4-3-11: Drive-through Establishments specific use standards: Proposing to modify the

All the proposed changes to the UDC including the support documents are attached for your review in
PDF format. This round of proposed UDC text changes went through a thorough and collaborative review
with the UDC Focus Group.
_ 2 City Staff believes the proposed changes will make the implementation and use of the UDC more
understandable and enforceable.
Sincerely,
