Bill,
In reviewing the upcoming UDC text changes we have the following comment:
11-5A-6H TimeLine Standards for Receiving Public Testimony – We would recommend changing the cutoff date for
written public testimony for City Council Hearings to Friday at noon the week Prior to the hearing. And for P&Z Hearings
the cutoff should be Tuesday at noon on the week of the hearing. We believe that this will not only give decision makers
the time needed to review and ponder the information, but it will also allow the applicant time to formulate a response
or propose changes at the hearing. We believe that this is a prudent and measured approach that allows all parties
involved the time to review the submitted material and make informed decisions.
Please let me know if you have any concerns or comments.
Thank you
Laren M. Bailey, MCRP, PMP

Good Afternoon All,
I hope you all had a great week. Before I start my weekend, I wanted to inform you all that the City has transmitted the
th
phase 1 of this year’s UDC text amendments. The public hearing is scheduled for the July 16 P/Z hearing. Please click
here to review the table of the proposed changes. After you all have had a chance to review the proposed changes,
please feel free to send comments to Caleb or me. If some of the changes require a bigger discussion with the group, I
am happy to facilitate a go to meeting to discuss them in more detail with the team. A second round of UDC changes is
slated for the later part of this year. The City would like to facilitate a virtual meeting sometime towards the end of July
th
to start those discussions. I am targeting the afternoon of July 29 to kick-off the second phase. If this amenable to the
group please let me know via email, so I can invite those of you that can attend and schedule the meeting. If this date
doesn’t work for most of you, I am happy to send out a doodle poll with additional dates and times. As always, I look
forward to working with all of you on the upcoming UDC text changes.
Have a great weekend,
