SUBJECT: 2020 UDC Text Amendments—Narrative
Mayor, City Council and Planning&Zoning Commission Members:
In accord with Meridian City Code 11-5,the Planning Division of the Meridian Community Development
Department respectfully submits the subject zoning text amendment application.
The subject proposal is made to modify certain sections of the City's Unified Development Code(UDC),
specifically: the Code Enforcement and Penalties sections in Chapter 1; Specific Use Standards in Chapter 4;the
Public Hearing Process in Chapter 5; and the Subdivision Design and Improvement Standards in Chapter 6.All
of the proposed changes to the UDC are attached in a table in underline and strike-through format.
Staff believes these changes to be fairly straight-forward and largely administrative in nature. City Staff believes
the proposed changes will make the implementation and use of the UDC more understandable,useable and
enforceable,while greatly improving the transparency and efficiency of the development process.
Sincerely,
Caleb Hood,AICP
Planning Division Manager
