HomeMy WebLinkAboutPlanning SummaryItem #6: Unified Development Code Text Amendment (ZOA-09-003)
Application:
- Request for a text amendment to the UDC, by the Planning Department
Since the implementation of the UDC on September 15, 2005, Staff has requested several other amendments. Staff continuously
tracks the UDC in order to identify issues that hinder the code's ability to function efficiently, in accord with the goals of the
comprehensive plan. The purpose of the zoning ordinance amendment is to modify and/or eliminate vague/unclear standards, and
add specific sections that Staff believes will make implementation and use of the UDC more understandable, equitable, &
enforceable.
Because staff has bundled many of the "clean up" amendments in this application, numerous sections of the UDC are affected as
follows:
Chapter 1 Article A: Definitions
Chapter 2 Article A: Residential Districts
Chapter 2 Article B: Commercial Districts
Chapter 2 Article C: Industrial Districts
Chapter 2 Article D: Traditional Neighborhood Districts
Chapter 3 Article A: Standard Regulations in all Districts
Chapter 3 Article B: Landscaping Requirements
Chapter 3 Article G: Common Open Space and Site Amenity Requirements
Chapter 3 Article H: Development along Federal and State Highways
Chapter 4: Specific Use Standards
Chapter 5 Article A: General Provisions (Administration)
Chapter 5 Article B: Specific Provisions (Administration)
Chapter 6 Article B: Subdivision Process
Chapter 6 Article C: Subdivision Design and Improvement Standards
